Hi all,

Just an FYI, you will not see a Monday Roll Call.  I am having some oral surgery at the crack of dawn on Monday and probably won't be on line for the day.

Today is church and relax.  Had a very busy day yesterday.  We are going to get a new manager at work who I think will save the business and I keep my job!!  Yippeeee PTL.

Anyway, I hope you all have an awesome day!!

Topic: Very Late Saturday Roll Call
Hi all,

I had to work this morning so I didn't have time to post.

If you live in the Raleigh/Durham area, the first Monday in April at 7pm we are having a special speaker who works with the "minds' of bariatric patients.  It would be nice if surgery fixed the brain.  Anyway, come on out.

Anyway, crazy weather.  I have my first solo wine tasting tonight!  Yikes!  Hubby will be with me so that will help.  We are raising funds for Oliver.  He is 2 years old and has cancer.

Gotta run.

Topic: Thursday Roll Call
Hi all,

Well, today is my sleep in day.  I like that!  This is a day to get things done.  Recycling, washing, etc.  You will never guess what I had for dinner.  Ok, I will tell you.  Scrambled egg and grits.  Yup sure did.  It was so yummy!! 

I don't have a lot to say but I could say a lot about how my thoughts can betray me.  Sometimes, I need to keep thoughts to myself.  I have lost the trust of a lot of people due to my stupid thoughts. 

We are facing another cut off on utilities.  I just pray that we can make it over this hump.  I don't know what's wrong.  Ever since we moved back down here it has been a struggle.  Maybe we should have been more patient up in PA.  I dunno.  Maybe we made a huge mistake in coming back down here.  Oh well...

Have a good day all!  It's almost the weekend.

Topic: Sleepy Wednesday Roll Call
HI all,

Well, I got maybe five hours of sleep, or was it four.  I ran out of my sleep aid and was awake most of the night.  Of course the storm didn't help.  Anyway, I am feeling really hopeful that things will turn out for the best.  As much as I love my job, I may have to find a more lucrative one.  I don't know.

I ran across an event happening next weekend.  A free lyrical dance workshop is next week on Saturday!!  I can't wait!  I love free stuff and dance stuff.  What fun!! So I am going to work this Saturday instead of next Saturday.

Today, after work, I meet with my sponsor.  I have my first solo wine tasting Saturday to help raise money for Oliver.  He is a little 2 year old who has cancer.  I am really excited and a little nervous.  I really want this business to take off.  I didn't realize how many things I have going on.  No wonder I am a little coocoo lol.

Have a great day all!!

Good for you!  It would be nice if bypass surgery also healed the mind also.  Battling our mind can be just as hard as sticking to a sensible meal plan.

Hi,

I know this may sound strange but yes and my doctor recommended I increase my salt intake. Whenever I get the stomach flu, I always end up in hospital getting IV fluids.  Water is very important.  Like you, right after surgery, sipping was all I could do also.  In time, you will be able to drink water like normal.

Topic: Oh too early Tues. Roll Call
Hi all,

How is everyone today.  I had a good day yesterday but I'm worried about my job. Oh, it will be ok.  Today is work, then home to say bye to hubby as he goes to work.  I really struggle with lonliness.  I have enjoyed having hubby home while he was recovering even with his grouchiness lol.  Anyway, that's just the way it is.

Have a great day all.

You are one smart cookie, Audra! The doctor said the same thing yesterday. He said while it's important to get some form of exercise, not enough protein coupled with the fact that I am very dehydrated is a bad combination and I need to cut back on the exercise. I have to go to the infusion center today to get some IV fluids so hopefully after that I can start to feel better. Thanks for the excellent advice!

Topic: Did anyone else have problems with dehydration?

I had my two week post op appt. yesterday and the dr. was not too happy. He said I was very dehydrated and he wanted me to go over to the infusion center yesterday to get two liters of IV fluids. I had a very important nursing test yesterday so couldn't go but I did make an appt. for today.  I'm trying to drink, but it's so difficult when you feel so full already. Hopefully I'll start to feel better today after I get the fluids.
Is dehydration common? Did anyone else have this problem?
