We took Siehara off the Neurotin, which was supposed to act as a mood stabilizer, but instead caused all of the extreme aggression. We weaned her off starting Tuesday night and is no longer on it at all as of Friday. What a difference!! I have my daughter back!! There are still a few things going on, but nothing like the past few weeks. We are increasing her dosage of Abilify little by little and she is getting ready to head off to camp in June!
Tonsils out June 7, then camp June 21.. things are definitely better here.
As for me, I am working today til 3:30. She has therapy at 4 and then I have to for an MRI on my wrist at 6. Hopefully, we'll figure out once and for all what is going on. The x-rays showed nothing, so I'm guessing tendonitis or something like that.
Hope everyone is having a good day. I have been reflecting on the past few days/weeks and have decided that I need to be in a more positive place for myself, as well as the people around me. So, that's what I'm trying to do.

Well, how have you all been? I've been away from the board awhile and away from Barix, but I'm still around. Busy on many fronts while still working in New York. I'm more than 7 years out now from RNY and so many things are different but, life is still good. I hope to be around a bit more both here and at Barix and I'm working on a monthly support group for "older" (time out from WLS) patients. To be held in northeast Philadelphia. It's developing and I'll keep you informed about it, right here.
Have a wonderful day Everyone. Do it because it's easy. Do it because it's beneficial. Do it because it makes you smile. Do it because it makes others smile.
I'm smiling at you.

I can't get cortisone shots, because of history with ulcers, so when I have a flare up, it is not fun. . . hope you feel better soon. . .

WLS 5/31/07. Maintaining a weight loss of 141 pounds and feeling amazing!
I was in a K-8 school with a principal like that, and decided I needed to get in a middle school. First, I was at Labrum, and then Baldi. My old principal would take a teacher from 8th grade and put her in 1st grade. Talk about craziness. I did not want to teach the younger grades, once I got my middle school certificates. Good luck.
Today, has me very sleepy. I'm so sleep deprived lately. I have trouble falling asleep, and then wake up early, and falling asleep in my rocking chair, if I am lucky. Not sure what is causing this stuff recently.
Anywho, I have to get to Giant for a few groceries. Not a lot, because I am broke until payday on the first.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.
Hugs,

A lovely damp Tuesday morning here in Northeast Philadelphia. Having some anxiety about school. My principal yesterday advised me that I was moving to 4th grade in September. Yep - 4th grade. Should be interesting. I am just about done my onine applications for new jobs. I need to get away from this woman. However, whatever or wherever I am teaching in the fall - I know how to teach and I am good at it. What I am looking forward to is the 7th grade parents finding out that I will not be teaching their kids in the fall. That should go over like a lead balloon!
Today, teaching, psychiatrist and then dinner with friends.
What are you up to today?
Thanks for participating and you seem to be doing well, the water intake is tough for most post-ops, but you just have to keep the bottle/cup handy and sip constantly and you will make it. . . best wishes for you on this journey towards living a healthier and fuller life. . .

At over 4 years post-op, Tuesday's plan goes like this. . .
Peach on my way to the gym (because it is a good carb for energy)
B: cup of 1% no salt added cottage cheese, with garlic pepper grinder and 1 serving of Everything Pretzel Crisps
S: 1/2 banana, dannon light n fit yogurt
L: 3/4 cup of my 5 alarm turkey chili made with black beans, ground turkey, diced tomatos, onions and seasonings
S: orange and a piece of l/f cheddar
D: Leftover steak and sweet potato from last night
S: Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle bar
That is my food plan for today and I started my day with 45 minutes of cardio workout between elliptical and treadmill.
For all who participate I thank you, for those who lurk, I hope one day you can come out of lurkdom and post, this is a judgment free zone, just to keep me honest and let others see what people can eat as time goes by.
Have a good day!
