Daily Roll call!

Ok, so earlier we had a poster who suggested a daily roll call. Just a post to drop in and discuss what is going on in our little corner of the world.... so I thought I would give it a shot! Hmm.. Ok.. So I am in Appleton, not too much going on today really. Ohhh I FINALLY broke my 3 week stall, and am down a total of 54 lbs. I was pretty excited about that. Tomorrow I go to my surgeons office for my first set of labs...and I'm sure when they weigh me I'll be sad again, only because the Dr's scale always seems to weigh a couple of pounds heavier. What a way to burst my bubble!! I'm also waiting to hear on a promotion with in my company. There were approximately 5 people up for the promo......and I should hear something this next week or the begining of the week following that..... cross your fingers for me! (and that it includes a PHAT raise! LOL)

denise- way to go on the weight loss! Don't worry what the doctor's scale says, you have been keeping track at home, that's what you weigh. We all seem to weigh more at the doctor office! Good luck on the promotion too. This weekend, my best friend and I are going down to Milwaukee for a girl's weekend away. I am so excited to get away from being a mom (to an 8 and 6 yr old) for a weekend. This month will be my 3rd of 6 visits to the dietician. So far I have lost 18# on the pre-op diet!!! Julie

Just checking in.  Waiting for my surgery date.   All's well in Waukesha.  ~~ Cindy

Just popping in to say Good Morning.........still in my happy dance mode. I think this daily roll call is a great idea maybe we can get everyone involve a little bit, even if you have nothing to report just stop by and say Hello. Denise my fingers are crossed for you girl, and even tryint to cross the toes but I can't walk that way....lol I really hope you get it.

I am on day 3 of my pre op liquid diet and feeling very sick and weak. I hope today is a better day. I am wondering if I should call my nut to let her know how  I am doing, and ask her some questions?

I think you should call your doctor.  This could be serious and you don't want to wait too long and have surgery postponed.  Call today!  By the way, I got my surgery date yesterday and it is set for August 21st!  Yippee!  I start my liquid on the 14th.... right behind you sister!  :)  ~~ Cindy

Thanks Cindy, will give Dr. Chiang's office a call. Glad you got your date!! Congrats!  ~~Jen

It is normal--are you drinking your oj?  That may help with the weakness and the good old elimination.

It's raining in Central Wisconsin but it should clear off later today and get really HOT!!  I've got a busy weekend planned, tomorrow is a party at our neighbor's house and Sunday we're having a birthday party for both our sons at our house.  Our youngest turned 6 on 7/3 and our oldest turns 8 on 9/8.  Since our families both have to travel 2 hours to our house, we decided to have one party this year so everyone only has to travel once because of the gas prices.   I'm gearing up for next week - COUNTRY JAM in Eau Claire!  YIPPEE!!  I'm way excited.  My friend and I have been going every year since 2005 and we have a blast!  I'm a little concerned because of the alcohol I'll be consuming, but I hit my goal of weighing less than 200 by Country Jam so I have reason to celebrate.  And I'll be staying off the scale for a few days so I don't get too depressed.  I do hope it's hot and not rainy and cold.  That would SUCK!

Take Care and have a Great Weekend! Becky

Dang Becky, you are a busy busy girl!! We just had Country USA in oshkosh this year. Unfortunately I couldn't make it. Who is your country jam line up? Kenny Chesney got to sing all of 5 songs before we had storms roll through. My boss was bummin b/c that is who she wanted to see most of all.

Congrats on hitting your goal weight!! How exciting is that!! You ae 6 months out, correct? I went for my 3 month check up yesterday (even tho I am only 2.5 months out) and had my labs done. I'm interested to see what they say Have a wonderful weekend!
