THANK YOU & I'M BACK

WE'RE SENDING A HEARTFELT "THANK YOU" TO EACH OF YOU WHO E-MAILED/CALLED ME ASKING IF I WAS OK ... IT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY MEANT ALOT TO ME (US)! I FINALLY GOT MY PROFILE UPDATED ... I'VE HAD 3 MAJOR DUMPS & HAVE BEEN HAVING HIGH/IRREGULAR HEART RATE ISSUES (NOT RELATED TO WLS), SO I'VE BEEN PRETTY WHIPPED LATELY. AS FOR THE DUMPS, I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THE SIMPLE FOODS MY POUCH WAS HAPPIER WITH ... CREAMED SOUPS, SEAFOOD & WARM OR HOT LIQUIDS. I'VE HAD TO CHANGE FROM PEPCID TO ACEPHIX TO HANDLE REFLUX ISSUES BUT THEY ARE SOOO MUCH BETTER NOW! BECAUSE OF WLS MALABSORPTION ISSUES, IT'S BEEN HARD TO REGULATE MY HEART MEDS SO TONIGHT, NICK'S TAKING ME TO GET A HEART RATE MONITOR. THAT WAY I CAN TELL IF THE EXHAUSTION IS CAUSED BY NEEDING FLUIDS/PROTEINS OR IF MY HEART RATE IS THE ISSUE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME & WE'LL HAVE THIS ALL UNDER CONTROL! THE COOL THING IS THAT EVEN WITH ALL THE DUMP & HEART ISSUES, I STILL LOST 33.20 #s IN THE 1st 30 DAYS (33.80 #s NOW), SO WE'RE THRILLED!!! I SEEM TO LOOSE A # OR 2, THEN NOTHING FOR A COUPLE DAYS & SO ON ... WE'LL SEE Y'ALL ON THURSDAY AT THE MALL AT JASON'S DELI!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK SW = 279.80 ... THE 270s, 260s & 250s ARE GONE FOREVER!! CW = 247.00 LOST = -33.80 GOAL = 125-118

Glad you are back with us Dawn and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!!! Susann

hi dawn- i've been a little MIA but I am so glad that you are better ! And congrats on the wl so far. Please let us know how the reg. of the heart meds is coming along. hugs from columbia- heather

THANKS MS HEATHER ... GOT A HEART RATE MONITOR & NOT THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS, SO I HAVE FAXED THE STATS TO MY DR ... I THINK IT IS A PROBLEM WITH OUR MAL-ABSORPTION ISSUES FROM THE SURGERY ... THEY HAD TO CHANGE MY MEDS BECAUSE THEY WERE TIME-RELEASED (THEY WORKED SO WELL), SO I THINK WE JUST NEED TO FIND THAT PERFECT DOSAGE OF THE NEW MED. HOW WAS YOUR VISIT W/ HUBBY? I BET HE WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE WONDERFUL CHANGES IN YOU! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
