Thursday Roll Call
No one was showing up so I stopped holding the support groups. I would be interested in meeting up with others though if you or anyone else is interested!
www.geekmomblog.com -My Mom blog were I talk about my journey through weight loss & weight loss surgery, my kids, cupcakes, Star Wars & pretty much everything!
For my microscopic colitis I have two drugs: Lialda (to help calm down the colon) and the other is for the diarrhea - Lomotil. I have not taken them for a long time. The thing that I found that works the best and it takes close to a week to start it working is fiber in the form of fruits and veggies. You can also add yogurt to the equation. I get real sloppy sometimes and do not buy the fruits and veggies that I need. I find that the Greek yogurt helps the best for me to get the probiotics into my system and it is real filling for a RNY patient. Part of all the fruits and veggies is that I find that I am forever chewing to get it all in.
Open RNY May 7
260/155/140
I just picked up a Rx for Lomitil. I hope it works!

Good evening cyber friends,
I hope all of you living down state are doing well with the terrible weather. I can tell you the Des Plaines in Gurnee is well over the banks. I am sure in a day or two, the water will be on the roads.
An update on me, I am at the terrible state of hair loss. I know it is a reaction from when I was recovering from surgery and not getting the protein, but UGHHH I can not stand it!! I am taking the Biotin, eating/drinking all my protein in hopes that this will end soon. I do not want to be bald! Funny, but prior to losing the weight, my best feature was my hair. I have/had very thick wavy hair and that was my beauty. Notice, it was not me that I prided but my hair. I am truly at a loss for how I am feeling with this stage.
This week has been a roller-coaster of health. On Easter Sunday I started having a terrible sinus congestion. I have not missed work but this cold really got a hold of me. The most interesting time was when I tool NyQuil!! Oh my, what a rush. Such a different feeling after the bypass. I was asleep in less than 30 minutes.
Today I woke a bit better but only in the sinus area. I ended up at the Dr's with a bladder infection! I tell you when it rains it pours. I am hoping the antibiotics will provide some relief soon.
I am so looking forward to some warmer weather tomorrow. Not sure if I will ride the bike to work. That will be determined tomorrow.
Hope all have a great evening
Debbie

Hi Debbie.
I have the hair loss also. Same thing with me I used to complain about thick and curly hair. Not anymore! I can say though I am only 8 mos out and I have noticed that my hair texture has changed but now is starting to come back. I do not lose as much in the shower as I was 2 months ago.
There is a shampoo called Nexium that is supposed to help with the hair loss. It is a bit on the expensive side but it has been recommened to me serval times.

Good Evening Everyone!
I am just now getting on the internet. I could not get on earlier today. Have no idea what was happening but now I am connecting so I have a life again.
This afternoon I tried to wear myself out and darn near succeeded. I went to the dentist and the piece that fell out of my mouth yesterday was a spacer for my implant. Go figure this -- it completely healed overnight so he had to reopen the site to put it back in. Got the teeth cleaned as well.
I talked to my surgeons office and tried to get some different pain meds. I cannot believe that they keep telling me that I will be in pain and live with it. It is pretty bad pain and I am puzzled with this nurse' attitude.
Then I went to Sears and Home Depot to price small deep freezers and bought one at Home Depot. Took back a water feeder to Pet Smart because it broke when I was in the hospital. They have a wonderful return policy. I did not have a receipt but they took it back without batting an eye.
By then I was totally pooped and gave up on a run to Walmart and came home. While I slept, Rick prepared dinner and did the dishes. He is hired!
Thats it for me. Vicki, I know you are really excited about your surgery, I remember thaose days and it was so exciting. It sounds like things are going well. Good Luck to you. Raven, I hope you get some answers soon.
Everyone have a great evening!
