Good morning! Its work from home Wed for me- so that's a woo hoo. And my SMET is that its still amazes me that I can walk through a crowded room of tables and chairs and its so much easier to move around and squeeze through just fine! No more dreading it, staying in my seat even though I want to go talk to someone or even go to the bathroom- I can just jump up and move around!

My foot really hurt alot yesterday, so I'm hoping its better today since it will get a rest without having to drive. I do have to get out at lunch and run a few errands nearby in Roanoke/Trophy Club.

Hugs and prayers still go out to those in need. I hope everyone is doing better. Gina-how did the first day of the evaluators there go? Jenny-how did the doctor's visit go yesterday with Eric? Did you manage to get all the pb cups "taken care" of? lol. Gaye-how are you feeling?
I'm sorry I didn't come to coffee-I really wanted to but my foot was just hurting too bad.

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good morning all!! Another early morning in my world...yawn...Looking to be another long, busy, busy day. Had a good day yesterday. The circus I work in was a laugh a minute (seriously-you HAVE to laugh...lol). The "inspectors" will be back today...along with the construction workers, corporate people, vendors, family members, volunteers, crazy employees,and the precious patients who live there. Never a dull moment-that's for sure! The survey should last until Friday, and you never really know "how it's going" until it's over. You can think you're "failing" and come with a few dings, or think all is "well" and come out with the State shutting you down and holding all the money-I've seen it go both ways and all ways in between,,,good times...sigh...That's why I just try to do what I do EVERY day and then I don't have to run stupid when I think someone is watching...okay..enough "Gina Work Ethics 101" for today--You didn't even know you signed up for the course, did you???


Had a GREAT time last night with KATHY, SHERRY, JOHN, QUE, TOM, GAYE, TRACEY, and KAYLEE. Hate that LYNNETTE had to wind up working...CRAP!! NOTHING meets peep time-not even CHOCOLATE!!!


Time for a WOOHOO...well...for SURE I would never be able to stay 2 halls away from 8 surveyors for 10 hours if I still weighed 340 lbs. Those suckers are FAST!! Seriously, I'm getting faster and faster going down those halls-it's a really big building, with 4 nursing stations, and I visit all of them several times a day-even more often yesterday, gathering infor for the surveyors, etc. I NEVER could have done that pre-op. Something was said about weight loss, etc. One of office mates said "Show them your picture!!. Since I never clean my purse out, my pin wass still in there from the OH convention (the one JULY made me with "before" pics on it. Gotta love "oohs and aahs"...tougher t get at 7 yrs out..


Okay..better get humming on out of here...PLEASE SHARE YOUR WOOHOO...You never know who might benefit!!
I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!

Gina, since you love circuses, (did I spell that right?), have you thought about a career at the VA?  I know they are hiring nurses left and right now, and I thought of you.  You could get a job that lasts and care for our nation's heros all at the same time.  We have an elderly Veterans groups that needs loving care!  Just a thought!

I don't know if I have a Woo Hoo for ya'll.  I've been learning the scheme for 76104 and I'm doing ok at it.  Didn't think I'd be able to learn at this stage in my life.  It's just memorizing and it's tough.  The guy that works in there emailed Shared Services to see if they knew anything about the job I put in for.  I keep mentioning it so I'm sure he's getting tired of hearing about it!  LOL!

Anyway, I'm tired this morning.  Dang old dogs.  He's just an old man in a dog's body!  Got to get up several times a night to go "out" and won't sleep on the pillow by my bed that I bought specifically for that reason.  He has to get up on the bed with "mommy" and it's annoying.  I don't get enough sleep as it is and then to have him yelping to get up on the bed is ******g me off.  Anyone want an old poodle?

Well, better get into the shower and off to work.  Ya'll have a great day!  Love you!!

Initial surgery 2006-Highest weight 305 - got down to 180

OK - I've obviously missed out on something somewhere.................you are not doing individual care anymore..........you back in a "center" to work ?  
  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.  
  • Total Lost:  139 lbs
  • Current Weight:  263  
  • As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain.  Not happy about that.
  • RNY: 10-16-07 = 338:  Highest weight: 350+  Lowest Weight: 199

I have a woo hoo this time - hehehe - ok hanging at the park with a group of wives (we all have kids in the same elemtery school and all hubbys just deployed so these are my ga peeps I guess) anyhow Jen says to me, like you know about needing to loose all this weight - look at you all skinny and cute - excuuuusssssseeeeeee me who are you talking to? me skinny and cute - not so much but it was just wild to be lumped with the other 2 gals who are normal sized - I know (b/c we were talking night before last) that one is a size 12 with a goal of an 8 - I said something about a 12 and she goes that is what I am now, guess I can pass all these 12s on to you soon then - ummm soon??? the other is working to get back into her 12s and 14s - I can wear some 14s!!!

it was just wild - I am reading confessions of a formerly fat girl and while I don't know how much  I agree with her "rules" I do agree with her that there are thought patterns that go with being the fat girl and that we have to get out of those if we ever want to be no longer a fat girl - just a random thought tossed out  there  - along with getting rid of stinking thinking and my doc saying he fixes our guts we have to fix our heads

oh I have a SMET too - moved a desk upstairs - ok had the teen and the neighbor move a desk upstiars LOL but I was able to, holding Rach, wiggle past them on the landing and get to my room and move the rug before they got here -
I also sat on the ground at the park and it did not take an act of God or a crane to get me back up :)

Tim has been gone almost a week now - we miss him lots but are getting better at the whole coping things - at least most of the time - time will help and so will him getting settled in Iraq instead of stuck in Kawait trianing

Debbi will be here Friday Debbi will be here Friday Debbi will be here Friday - I'm a little excited can you tell? LOL

my wieght is staying at the 2 pounds up but that is ok - I am trying my best to keep my eating resoanble  -getting all my vits/meds, protien and water in plus walking at the very least once a day - today we start walking as soon as we drop the kids off at school to see if that works better for everyones schedules

Yes, m'am, it's Meeting Hell day at JSC.  And I have a big project I am trying to get the "customer" to sign off on so we can move forward.......

Got my boxes ordered yesterday and I've started collecting stuff.  Do they need pens?  I have pens and post-its from a recent vendor show; I got all the leftovers and was supposed to share....so I'll share with Tim & Co. if you think they would use them.

{{{HUGS}}} to you sweet Danni girl!!!

Good Morning!  I haven't been around much, it's taking all I have to keep my head above water.  Work is killing me, I went off on the boss yesterday.  Some days I feel like they just abuse us and it's so unrealistic it's pathetic.  I don't know how much more I can take, it's driving me crazy.

Cutter had his last football game last night, so that's off my "to do" plate.  He was upset because they didn't make it to the football "super bowl" he played an awesome game.

Prayers to all in need, I just don't have the time to be here for everyone.  My eating is reflective of my days *sigh*.  You know it's bad when you can't wait to have surgery so you'll be out of the crazy world of work for 2-3 weeks.

I don't have a woo hoo and my mind is too tired to think of a SMET this morning.  I'll keep plugging away, not much choice but to do what I have to do.
