Teri W. from Eden Prairie

Girl - where are you, where've you been, how are you? Long time, no post - just worried about ya! Peeps - Has anyone talked to her since she had her surgery in November?

I met her at PNC group, I think in November, I know it was after her surgery, but I didn't go to group in December, that's all I know.

 

She's been in my thoughts as well.  Haven't seen her since shortly after her surgery.  I pray she's okay, I hope she's just feeling so FABULOUS that she doesn't have it in her to spend time on something as sedentary as a COMPUTER!!!  It's not terribly unusual for people to not come around as much after surgery, but... ... Teri, if you read this, STOP AND LET US KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING!!! hmmm... I have her address, maybe a lil' hello via snail mail is called for???

Hello All!  Thank you so much for your concern!  I have lurked a few times in the last 8 weeks but have had and am having some trouble, stuggled with the holidays and changed jobs this past week.  I am really stuggling with getting my fluids in - therefore struggling with dehydration - I spend another 4 hours in the ER about 2 weeks ago getting fluids and having blood checked - all was good with the exception of my potassium was a bit low.  I am also having trouble eating - trouble getting things down or staying down - no consistency so 'fixing' it has been challenging. On the up side - i have lost 29 lbs in 8 weeks - not as much as I had thought or hoped for - but a loss none the less. I have been ashamed/afraid to attend any support groups or coffees and haven't felt up to posting or replying.  Lots more going on in my life right now as well - all of which is affecting my mental health and desire to be healthy! Again, thank you for reaching out!  I think of many of you often and miss you!

I was just thinking abou ther yesterday!!!  Hope all is well and that she is just busy enjoying the WLS!!!!

Teri, I'm so sorry you're having issues!  But no one ever said this was easy.  Just don't let go of the support you can have for the taking, here and at PNC group.   Remember - when you LEAST feel like coming is when you MOST need to be there!  We won't judge you, we will encourage you and support you and give you our unconditional friendship and love.  WLS or not, who couldn't use THAT???
