The NIGH****CHMAN - 5/6 - Thursday
I am waiting to get an update on Geraldine. I feel so bad. She had the sleeve surgery and had complications. She is in ICU. I feel bad because I have been the one she turned to for advice during the process. We talked for hours about WLS.
Just a reminder, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

She is lucky to have you as a friend. I know that you go above and beyond for others.
I am struggling today. I seem to be emotional eating a lot lately, and I worry that I am going to gain all of my weight back. I have got to find something to get myself under control as I don't have my WLS tool anymore.

Well, another busy day today. Took V down to Dr. Davis' for her MedGem study. She can have 2000 calories a day to maintain and of course less to lose. I did a repeat study (I had one done four years ago) and mine was just about the same as it was last time....to maintain, I need a little over 1200 calories, to lose, about 1000. That study is very valuable!!!
After we got back and V back to school, I ran a few errands, then home for a couple hours, then back on the road to pick up V from the high school, race home, get Sarah so I could take her to tennis, then back home for an hour. Heather and I then left around 7 pm to meet up with Paul (he picked up Sarah and V) out at the school's administrative building for the spring art show. Sarah had her painting selected for an entry and got her first blue ribbon. She had to ask me quietly, "mom, what does BLUE mean"? Too cute!
Tomorrow V goes back to the ENT for another round of allergy meds, then all of us back to the same place where the art show was held for the spring banquet for Heather's nursing group.
(this is how I feel I am going for the next three weeks!!!)
