Thursday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois!

I'm BAAAACK!  I'm doing really well.  I feel good.  Got home yesterday and was pretty tired, but haven't had a pain pill since Tues night.  Taking ES Tylenol every now and then, but pleased I could sleep in bed, because was planning on a few recliner nights.  The nurses all said I did really well and I told them I had knee replacement surgery 2 years ago....now THAT first walk we were talkin' about some pain.  I'm sure there are those of you who can relate to that!  Will do a lot more walking today...hope not TMI, but not bad gas pains at all and sipping on soup and water, iced tea.  Appt  to take out stitches on Monday and back to work Tues!  I'm excited about what is to come in my weight loss journey...or maybe I should say what is to GO!  LOL

Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers.  I know they all helped.  Hope you are all doing well.  More later!!  Georgie

I'm so glad you are doing so well.  I wasn't in a lot pain either.  I did have problems with dehydration and low blood pressure.  I was feeling so ill for a week.  But at least I had no pain. 

Thanks Crystal, I'm trying to be watchful of the dehydration issue.  It's funny not really having any "hunger" feelings...although I know that will pass.  Stomach is growling/gurgling, so guess that's a good thing!

Gonna go tackle taking my dressings off and take a shower!  That'll feel good.  geo

Hi Georgie!! 

I'm really happy that you're home and feeling good!!  I'm glad to hear that the pain isn't too bad and neither is the gas!  I'm hoping that I have a similar experience and I know walking is the key.  I know you'll do well on your weight loss and I can't wait to join you!!

Great to hear that you are doing so well!
Keep to the plan and you will be fine.  I am excited for you too!

I buttoned a shirt that is about this color last night and went to a class at Willow.  I grew a little tired about half way through and thought I might have to leave but after a moment it passed.  It will soon be time to get out the box of smaller sizes.

Good morning everyone!  It might be cool here, but at least the sun is out.

Not much going on for me today as it is my day off from work.  I will probably take one of the dogs for a walk in a little bit and try to begin to prepare for the hospital and post-op.  I need to make out my lists so I can have things together before I go.  I can't believe that today is the 10th day of pre-op diet and I know the weekend will go by fast since I have a lot going on then.

Crystal - Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead of you - sure hope you have lots of fun!  I wanted to go and see 2012, but my husband is really not wanting to go.  I don't think one of my daughters would go with me either, but we'll see.

Lisa - Glad your shopping was a success yesterday!

Lucy - So sorry that your boss put you in that position.  I worked for someone like that many years ago and was very happy when I didn't have to anymore!  :)  I do hope that you feel better soon!

Sheri - Hope that your audit goes well!  Glad your fill is giving you some restriction and I hope it starts  working well for you!

Dawn - I hope that you start to feel well enough to go back to work because I truly understand the "some money is better than no money" thing.  I'm planning on a week off, but I only work part-time as it is and half the time, I'm sitting down.

Well, hoping that Omar is doing well and recovering!  Hope everyone has a great day!!
