Hi Christine, its good to see you back again. I went to see my nutritionist last week and was put on a multivit and calcium supplements. I have an alarm clock on my cell phone and Im using that to remind me to take my vits and calcium. Its working. As for 4th of July, my husband has to work, my brothers and sisters and their families are all going camping so I guess it will be just my two grandchildren and I on the 4th. We'll probably go over to the Empire State Plaza to enjoy the fireworks then come home and collapse into bed. It would be great if my daughter would take my granddaughter but thats wishful thinking. Water water water!! Laurie

That was a good idea using your alarm on your cell phone to remind you to take your vitamins, you have to use what works.... Everyones going camping sounds like fun......so you and your grandchildren will go to see the fireworks, I enjoy seeing the fireworks too but I don't allow them in my house or should I say yard......I think they are dangerous and I'll leave it to the pros to blast them off.... Well our children do not always do what we think is best or what we feel is a good gesture but we still have to hope for the best... Enjoy your day out with the kiddies.... Christine 346/231/?

Hi Christine, I'm here too. My first day back to work. So as of today I am 6 weeks post-op and I am down ~33lbs. I am feeling great and starting to get my energy level better. The head hunger is there.... hey its a bad habbit eating when not hungry... I think this is a battle I will always fight. I am trying to start to eat solid foods. I still need to work on SLOWING down. I know I can't eat when I am stressed I need to really sit down and take my time. That can be hard since I am the proud Mom of 28 mth old triplets. Last week I threw up for the first time and it was awful... I don't want to go through that again if I can help it for sure. Anyway take care! Marla

oooooooowwwww girl I'm scared of you 28 month old triplets I can see how that would be hard to slow down eating but you have to try and find a way to chew chew chew and chew some more....we can't have you hurting your pouch....some times you just have to let baby or babies cry for a min or two and take care of you.......do you have help at home with the triplets...... 33lbs congratulations you are off to a great start, keep up the good work and that is what it is work, we know this is not the easy way out.....so work that tool girl....

Christine, Hello hun....~Hugs~ How are you doing? I guess your foot is getting better and better every day also..... Yes it is getting easier every day, with the eating and head hunger. I never thought I would feel normal again.... Today is a rough day, as my pouch is a little upset today but doing good. I know you get those days sometimes. hmmm what can I bring, lets seeeeee...... I might try some chicken so that might be good... I have not tried chicken yet because so many have had problems with it so I am staying with fish. Good thing I enjoy different kinds of fish. Taking all my vitamins, walking some each day and trying to get all my water in, right now I am about 1 1/2 liters a day......but I know it will get easier as well. Take care.. Debra P

Lets see what can you bring ah ah ah ahhhhh I think you should bring you and your hubby.....I would love to have the two of you..... Well you have to get use to the new pouch and the new pouch has to get use to the food....so it will take time hopefull not too much time.....Take it slow and chew chew chew and chew some more.... So glad you listen and are taking your vitamins and getting in your water and walking you are doing great Deb keep up the good work.... talk 2 you soon Christine 346/231/?
