Still in Florida

Hi Buds!

I was going to fly home today but decided to stay and fly back home with Hubba Wubbins on Saturday.

I'm having a better time than I thought I would. Today, I'm stuck in the hotel room with some left-over intestinal dumping. Keeping the bathroom close.  I, literally, had a double-dump! Fat AND sugar all at once! I've never experienced anything like it!

I had some lean pastrami that was grilled to greasy then, when I thought my pouch was doing better, I had a fresh fruit cup! NO ONE told me I could dump on fruit!!! So, I ended up dumping from the greasy pastrami and the sugar in the fruit! All at once. I felt pathetic. It really drained me.

Now, I feel fine but won't venture out of the room until John gets back from work and we go out for a bite.

I'm doing well will getting all my protein and water in each day. No problems with the vitamins either. My calorie intake is still under the recommended 800 cals per day but I'm managing.

Yesterday we walked on the beach for 2 hours, went para-sailing and dolphin watching along the Gulf of Mexico. That was really relaxing and very cool.

It's 63 degrees and breezy cool.

Adding pics to my profile for you to check out.

Can't have a vacation without you! You're all in my thoughts all day long!

Love you all!

Jules

I am so glad you're having a good time Jules! Parasailing sounds awesome, I'd like to give that a try some time.
I'm sorry you're having a dumping episode, but hey, just think of it as a little reminder. We can dump on fruit, because fruits have a lot of natural sugars, some will affect us more than others, and its all a mystery so you might have no trouble next time.
Miss you and we're thinking about you always! Have a great time and bring some of that warm weather back with you will you????

As happy as I am to be here, I am looking forward to being home around you all. I missed Thursday's RW meeting and tonight I'm missing the Miriam Hospital meeting as well.

I WILL BE IN THE FASHION SHOW at the next Rhode Island Hospital meeting though. Please come if you can! It's Wednesday, November 5th at 6:15!

Hope to see you there!

Sounds like one heck of a trip!  (well- besides the issues)

Glad you are enjoying yourself!  I hope to see you soon- hopefully once the election is over I will be back to having some time for me.  I can't make next weds meeting either, it falls the same night as our PTO meeting- grrr.  Someone take tons of pics of our beautiful Julie and everyone else!!
