Good morning all. I can barely move this am. Kara and I went to Cross Fit last night and I swear to you I thought I would pass out or puke. I guess that is a good thing. I was whining about needing to be pushed. I got pushed. Yesterday I found out that a woman in the area with alot of experience in trainings and putting on workshops etc is also a post op and has set up shop as the resident expert LOL. I think that this is one more sign that maybe i need to work on being an expert WLS patient and not a expert in WLS.  I am going to email her to see if she wants to collaborate in anyway, but we will see what happens. The good thing is she is a excellent public speaker and trainer so if you have to come in second she is a good one to come in second too. Speaking of her workshop it is about Transformation after WLS and will be held on Sat 29th at a local Yoga Studio. I may go, if anyone wants to come let me know.

I hope you all have an awesome day. Love to you all. Love to all of you who are recovering emotionally and physically right now.

Well all, the fuel pump in my car went out again so I am without wheels for awhile.  Was supposed to head down to VA but not sure if that will happen. 

Enjoy your weekend all!

Good Morning -

Nicole I hope that she works with you, you would be an awesome asset!

Today I am cleaning and prepping for cooking class tomorrow then my Grandmother is coming over this afternoon to watch Amelia so I can go to my gastrointerologist appt. I usually take her with me everywhere but I figured that I'll be able to pay better attention and remember what they tell me better if I am by myself. I also have to call and make an appt with the hemotologist. I am hoping that they can get me in one day early next week.

Hope you have a great day too Nicole - Love you!

Good morning Nic and PA..

When is this workshop? Next Sat? just checking because that is the 28th.. I would love to come, but not sure if I can trek out there on a Sat morning.   It does sound like something that would be very worthwhile.  Maybe after you go and see how it is, you/we can talk her into traveling into Allentown... it's not that far.  I'm sure there is somewhere here where she could give the same talk. 
I am so proud of you for doing the Cross Fit.  It was your first day so don't be too hard on yourself.  Everyone has to start somewhere and you are starting out with a butt whooping!! LOL!! You can do it!!!

Today has me working til 3:30.  After work,I need to get my oil changed at Walmart and I think I will take Siehara to pick out some clothes for school.  A lot of her stuff is getting pretty old, especially after wearing it to camp.   Tonight, we will go over to David and Sarah's for dinner and probably the mall after.  We haven't had our Friday night ritual lately and I miss spending time with them. 

Tomorrow will be busy.. synagogue, Liz's, go to Pottsville to pick up Bron, drop Siehara off in Danielsville with Carla, proceed with Bron, Carla and her husband Dave to a deck party.  WOOO.. lots of miles on the car tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Good morning all - lovely Friday morning out there - I got to work uber-early and was looking forward to reading my USA Today and enjoying my sf van iced coffee but a new girl made it and BLECH  - after 2 or 3 sips I realized she (a) used caramel flavoring, not vanilla and (b) it is NOT sugar free, so down the drain it went and I'm sipping on regular hot coffee. I'll live, but damn, it's not rocket science making these things - please get it right!

Work today - tonight friends are coming over with crabs - yum! Tomorrow will be busy getting nails done, banking, grocery shopping. Tomorrow night dinner out with other friends.

Hubby and I had a long talk the other night about our future - not our relationship but working, retirement, where to live, etc. I think we got a lot of things ironed out, but now we have to start putting our 'plan' in motion.

Hope everyone has a great Friday...Kathy

Good Morning Nicole & PA:

Nicole congratulations on your Cross Fit last night!

Today is shaping up to be another day of lazing around the house.  Hider seems to be loving having me home with her, we cuddle most of the day away.  Slept better last night, didn't wake up till 03:15am needing a pain pill.  Then was able to fall right back to sleep.  First night that has happened since the surgery.

Later this morning I'm hoping to have the energy to walk up the the Rite Aid to pick up a few things I need.  Yesterday Gene did find me liquid multi vitamin when he went out to re-fill my perscription.  I'm glad to be able to start taking multi vitamins again.  Don't need more vitamin levels dropping than are already currently on the low side.   Another thing on my list to do today I need to call Champs to see what they have in non-flavored protein.  I need to get something to add to my cream soups until I'm able to eat solid meats again.  If they have what I want Gene will pick it up on his way home from work this evening.  If I can manage to find a spurt of energy today, I'd like to get the wash done, clean my den, and make some stewed apples and peaches to run through the food processor.  Last night I smooshed up a banana and it was soooo good such a nice treat for a change.  I'm missing fruit.

Hope everyone has an awesome day....

Good morning everyone!

This morning I am off to a post-op appt. with the nurse practioner.  I am glad, because I still have bad pain on my left side of my tummy, constant burning and pulling.  Hopefully nothing is wrong.

I would like to try and get another couple of hours in the store, but I would have to take something for the pain.  Getting concerned about taking Tylenol every day.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

 Good Morning PA
I am still in Minnesota, enjoying the Munchkins and shopping at the Mall of America.  My days have had their challenges, too exhausting to deal with here though.

Today is up in the air.  Not sure what we are going to do just yet.  I am hoping to get to an AA meeting, as I desperately need one.  I don't want to drink, nor have an urge...I just need the mental health benefits from one.

Gotta run...I hear the Munchkins downstairs.

Hugs,
Trish

Good morning Nicole - smart move on the collaboration thing!  AND...you are an amazing WLS Patient - and I am guessing a GRAET WLS expert as well - you have helped me - and we all know that I am nuts! :)

I have been up for a little, already talked with Lisa - Love you girl - you always know what to say to me!  Today is another day of hanging around.  My new fear is that the fluid in my system is just holding up in my abdomen.  Always something fun to worry about.  I have been going to the bathroom more often, so hopefully that means that the fluid is draining.  Larry is back to work tonight, not sure what the girls are going to do today - they may go to my step-dad's to go swimming, who knows - I will just be hanging out here - recuperating.

I can't wait to go to Liz's tomorrow!  Definitely bringing Molly with me - possibly Emily.  Then Sunday back to camp to get my boy!  I miss him like crazy!  He is loving this session and I know he will be sad to leave his friends.  Less than two weeks til I go back to work!

Have a GREAT Friday everyone!

Good morning!!!

Nicole--That sounds awesome! I think a collaboration like that would be so beneficial to so many people! I hope it all works out!

As for me today I am just taking care of some things around the house, heading to the post office, and hoping like crazy someone will want to buy that men's mountain bike!! I so need the money....I got hit hard this summer since our school ran a Title 1 summer school that was free so I lost all my summer tutoring business...it has been weird not working over the summer...so selling the bike would help a lil bit!!!

After I run errands gonna meet up with a friend and hang out for a lil bit and then just come home and veg for the night.

Hope everyone has a terrific day!!!!!!

Much luv!
Laura
