Roll Call

Girl you are flying through your pre-op testing....and that sounds painful was it? How is your mom doing is she feeling any better now or still ajusting to the diab..... best of luck to you and your mom sweetie... Christine

Thanks Christine...I am so proud that you are doing well! My mom is ok so far. Her sugar is still high and they are still trying to stabalize it, Hopefully she will be home by sunday.. THANKS! Kristen

Hey Hey Christine !!! Sounds like you had a busy morning, but a good one seeing your son do his Thang !! Kids are cuties for sure !! Good some lab results back from the good Dr. yesterday......they were not soo good, actually pretty bad.......seems my iron is wayyyy low.......so low that they wanted me to leave work and go there....I laughed, though its really not a funny matter !! I did it to myself, however, I was very opened with the Dr and told him I was not going to take the iron......sorry, but, it makes me sick. I asked him to change it to something maybe not soo rough......he didnt......I tried to take it at night, like someone here told me.......didnt work for me.....I was awake most of the night sick. Sooo lose sleep at night because Im sick....or be sick half the day from the Iron sup.........I choose neither.......I know I know.....I am being VERY VERY Stubborn here.......however, I have told him from the begining......3 months post op......it was not goign to happen......Sooo now my iron is at 19 and low is about 35......Soo there is cause to be alarmed.......I guess they are talking about IV's of iron.....not sure really.......BUT, I KNOW I DID THIS TO MYSELF. Thgey did not even tell me about my B-12.....they are too worried about the Iron ! I guess if its one thing I can tell pre ops.........maybe it would be to take ur vitamins after.......I think if I could go back and rewalk the journey, I would have done this part differently. NOW !! No yelling at me......no flaming me........because I said all along in this post.....its MY FAULT.......soooo I dont need to hear from my NY family I did a bad thing.....I know I did..............NOw I just need it fixed. I guess this may be a reason why I feel like I have not slept after I really slept 12 hours....or more.......:O ANYWAYSSSSSS Enough from me........and NO FLAMING !!! Love U all Christine my lady !!.........we dooooo need to hook up for a telechat ! I do think U have the right number.....Im just never home :O:O OK......Im out for a while !! Guess I have to work ! Brenny

Brenda, Hun I know that Iron makes me sick also but in my multi it seems to be ok, unless that is why I have been feeling but I don't think so since it just came on and I have been taking my Centrum Chewables for a while now, I will switch to 2 a day after surgery... How about adding foods high in Iron to your diet, does or will that help any? Not sure since I am still pre-op and wonder myself.... Well hun, have a great day! Debra P

Debra Thanks and I doo try to get some through my food.....I REALLYYYYY do.....I did take flintstone chewables after my surgery......and when I started getting sick, well, I stopped taking them all.....I know, Im bad. I think at this point.......I cant get enough through food or maybe even a daily tablet......because its soo low, but we will see, they were going to talk to the other Dr's and see what the best road to take it.......and whatever it is.......I VOW I WILL DO IT !! Anyways.......Let this be a lesson to you Debra my dear !! Take ur Vit....LOL Really its not funny !! Thanks for your post sweetie........your a wonderful support here !!! Hope your feeling better these past couple days ! I know you have not had the greatest week........U have been in my thoughts ! Love2U Brenny

ok Brenny stop be stuborn and take your vitamins, even if it is a multi one a day you need your vitamins......and I WONT YELL AT YOU ! you have been a great support to me why would I YELL AT YOU! Please do take care of yourself hun I would never want something to happen to you especially due to lack of vitamins and iron.....eat more spinach and spinach and spinach..... please your iron is much to low I do hope they put you on an iv because it is the fast way to get your fluids and vitamin's in.... And you know we would never critize you for low iron we are here to help you like you always help me and everyone else....you have done a wonderful in your journey and I don't want iron to be a reason you have a set back..... ok here is the mother talking you will take your vitamins and you will start now...if I have to pinch your nose and hold you down you will take your iron and vitamins how's that.... ok enough I wont do that but I do want you to get your iron level up...and take care of yourself.... Now that I have the right number I will e-mail you all my numbers and you will have to call me when you have the time....or when you are home girl....when I call you are never there....and after the hook up on the telly we will get together... here are your vibes to better iron levels Love right back at ya and many {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} Christine

Christine, Hey there! Getting better day by day. Today I have found that I no longer need to push myself up to stand! It's been a week already today! I've lost 14lbs since surgery. It seems like it's just falling off! Going to try to take a walk up and down my street in a few minutes. I still get tired fast! Take care and talk to you soon! Barb

I just have to say Barb.....I got a good laugh from the part of your post that says you dont have to push yourself up anymore. I find I STILL do that at time.....like getting off the couch, I was sooooo used to pushing myself up, it became a habit.....and like habits....they are hard to break......however !!! Now when I do it.....I nearly FLYYYYY cross the room.....I cant tell you how many times I have nearly fallen on my can after doing this....... MANNNNN this ISSSSS a great feeling isnt it ?? Congrats on the AWESOME Start......Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for of heck of a WONDERFUL ride......and.......take ur vitamins !!!! Love2U, Thanks for the giggle ! Brenny

So you don't have to push yourself up any more.....that seems to be all I keep doing now I am sagging all over just kidding so gald you are moving around but do remember you are only one week out and you need your rest to... there are days you will feel like you have so much energy an as fast as it comes is as fast as it will go....so do rest I know you are getting board.....but it will change.... Congratulations 14lbs you go girl in one week you are off to a great start.....keep up the good work... Christine
