Good Thursday Everyone,
Hope your having a great week and getting plans in place for the weekend. I know I have no plans right now but I'm sure sometime today someone will say something about saturday. As we start our day we should be Grateful everyday that the good Lord allowed us to wake up today and give us another day to make better choices ( if needed ) from yesterday. Grateful for my WLS going on 9 yrs. ago and for all the choices of different surgeries today for you to choose. Grateful for second chances on life that our WLS gives us. Grateful for Obesity Help and all their amazing forums and the people on them answering questions for others everyday. Grateful for the normal....family, friends, my WLS, God, my faith and my church, health, and life itself. Grateful for all the things I can do now that were only dreams of doing over 9 yrs. ago. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Managed to endure in-service training yesterday. While it was one of the better ones I've been to - a non padded metal chair and a bony ass do not mix!
In theory a "normal" day on tap with some contraption time to get the soreness out of my tuckus.
Go do your thing.
Work is slow today. No plans for tonight-- DH is off so he will be cooking tonight. Do need to pick up and straighten a little, sister & family will be here late tonight from Iowa. Planing a trip up to OKLA this weekend, since I haven't been up there since middle of July. Hope everyone has a good day!

Good Wednesday Everyone,
I'm BACK !!! I'm sorry for my absence of this post and I am back and refocused. My BP was really out of whack and my doctor halved my meds and it's coming up now. It was extremely low for me and I had no energy to move much less think. LOL Today I am grateful for my doctor's and the knowledge that they have about modern meds.....grateful for my family, friends, faith, God and answered prayers. Grateful for my WLS and especially for Obesity Help that has been my rock for the past 9+ yrs...for all the amazing and sweet people on these forums and for the staff behind the scenes here on OH. Grateful for all the different WLS and that one surgery does NOT fit all. Grateful for my fur babies that love me unconditionally and grateful for waking up today to a day of better choices than yesterday. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a super blessed day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

good morning everyone.. Missed jumping on yesterday. Got to work and was busy on the phones all day. In fact ended up staying late. Weekend was relaxing and tried to get my RA under control. (which is much better today). No real plans for today--work, home, cook a little dinner and finish a load of laundry I started this morning. Shaundra, pickle juice & V8 juice is also high in potassium. Hope everyone has a great day!

I wasn't diagnosed with RA till about 2 yrs after my WLS. As far as weight regain, I haven't had much problems with it till recently. But really have only gained about 6-8 lbs. It goes up and down depending on the swelling. As for Meds -- well I've done 3 different shots- they work well for about a year then slowly stop working, so we switch. I also take prednisone as need for the swelling.. & methotrexate once week.
