THURSDAY Check In

Okay gang I was late getting here today and I see no one has started this yet - so here goes.......

How is everybody today? 
Having any problems? Complications? Setbacks?

If you're pre-op -------is there anything we can help you with as you prepare for this amazing journey? Keep in mind that nothing is off limits.

If you're fairly new to the Loser's Bench ------ anything we can help you with to make adjusting a little easier?

For those of us (yep - I'm crossing over) who are old Pros at this stuff ------- anything we can do to help keep you focused and committed?

Looks like a slow day on here so I'll be back again later.

Hi everyone! This has been a difficult week for me having been diagnosed with calcium pyrophosphate disease. The calcium crystals that are built up in my left foot have made it impossible to wal****il today and even today has not been easy.

I am hoping to be better by Saturday so that I can attend the meet up but who knows?

I did well the last two days with my protein intake, so that has made me feel successful! I am worried because I am on an anti-inflammatory medication and I know those can cause trouble with us rny-ers. Im scared I will need more medication and not be able to take it...will have to wait and see, I guess.

I've been having major cravings for oranges. Instead of actually eating them, I suck the juice out of one. I don't know what that's all about but I enjoy it. It's the perfect amount of sweet!

Hope everyone has had a great day!
