HAPPY MONDAY MARYLAND

Good Morning Maryland!!! The weekend came and went way too fast. I was under the weather all weekend so I was snug as a bug at home. I didnt eat too much so I have to start eating today. ha ha  I am now 20 pounds from my goal as of today. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so proud of myself. ;o)

I miss you all!!! I hope everyone has an awesome day!! ~Jilly~

Hi Jill! So what's wrong? Do you know?

Hey cutie pie. (((Hugs))) I had a bad cold all weekend and it kicked my butt. lol And I was not drinking enough at all. lol I feel so much better today. How are you sunshine?

You are always so upbeat and sweet! I adore you! I am glad you'e on the mend. I'm pretty good I guess. Monday's aren't my favorite, but you know. ;) I just found out I had to have my thyroid medication increased AND that I'm going to have to go on blood pressure medicine. :( I feel very bad about all that but I'm doing the best thing I can and that's trying to stay positive and continue with the necessary steps to get the WLS.

This week/weekend I was going back and forth about the decision to have it. Being on this website has been such a blessing for me, but I also read a lot of trials and tribulations and it scares me. Not one person has said they regretted having it though...trials and all.

Have a great week! Did Mike tell you that he met Dave briefly on Thursday? :)

Awwww what is the blood pressure medication honey? Is it Clonidine? If so you will be okay. Its just one more stepping stone to cross. You can do it!!!

Thank you for the kind words, that is so nice of you to say. (((Hugs)))

I was like you and I went  back and fourth for two months saying I cant do it or "what if this happens to me or that happens to me" etc etc and then I just said "No Jill you dont want the surgery you NEED the surgery, you NEED to be around to watch your kids graduate from college, get married etc. I NEEDED to get healthier so I stopped making excuses for myself and I did it. Im so glad everyday that I did. I am so much healthier and happier. I look at pix of me at over 300 pounds and shake my head. I dont even recognize myself. Im running in two 5K races this month and the old me would have never even THOUGHT of that. So you can do it sweetheart and this board is a GREAT place for support. When you get scared they will calm your fears and when you get cold feet they will warm em up! he he YOU CAN DO IT!! Im so glad you joined OH! There are some amazing men and women on here. And they are on FB too babycakes. (((Hugs)))
Yes Mike did say he met Dave and that he seemed like a really nice guy. ;o) then he said "Well I guess he would have to be to have someone as sweet as Laura" Awwwww
We should all get together for dinner soon. Im so PROUD of YOU!!!

I don't know what medication yet - I have to go back this week and find out. I'm just on SO many meds it's embarrasing. Well it's not embarrasing on here because everyone is so understanding and can really EMPATHIZE with me. Thanks so much for your supportive words. You really have been such an awesome cheerleader and I'm so glad I asked you more about this. I'm just going to keep on this track...i NEED to (like you said).

Mike didnt really get a chance to meet Dave because he was working and we were on our way out, but I was happy to see him. He is a real gem. :)

Thanks again for everything Jill!

Awww well you know I will be here for ANYTHING you need honey. Nobody can get through this without a team of supporters. Im sure you have a ton of friends and family and that amazing boyfriend of yours and that is TERRIFIC but when you need an extended family you can always count on the OH FAMILY!!!! Your so very welcome. (((Hugs)))

Happy Monday to you Jill. My surgery has been postponed to Dec. 3. I can't wait, but I'm hanging in there.

Did all my pre-op already, hopefully I don't have to do it again.

I had a great weekend too. Football is back and I watched it all day on Sunday.

Go Ravens!!

Robin

Hi Robin ;o) OMGOSH Dec 3 will be here before you BLINK! Just to have the date is an AWESOME FEELING!! WAY TO GO! Mine was Dec 4th last year and by Xmas I was able to nibble on some of the food. You will do GREAT!!! I also had Dr Kligman so you are in the BEST OF HANDS in my honest opinion. You let me know if you need anything honey. Your gonna do soooooo great!!
And I love the Ravens too!!!! As a matter of fact one of my best friends is Wes who is known as Captain Dee Fense for the Ravens. He is an amazing person. If your on Facebook join his fanpage he keeps tabs on our men in purple!!!! (((Hugs)))

Thanks for encouraging words. I am getting excited and can't wait.

I'm on Facebook and will look for Captain Dee Fense.

Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Robin
