So sorry to hear about all the many losses you've experienced lately, my condolences and prayers for you and those who are touched by these sad events, as well as for your husband's health situation, hoping it is resovled without much to do! In the meantime, yesterday is history, but try not to resort to the habits of old. . . Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I am so sorry for your recent losses. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers concerning your husband's upcoming tests and your grandson's job app. We are all entitled to a little pity party occasionally. Keep enjoying the sun, your hummingbirds, and that fresh grass smell! Sending you BIG HUGS! Debbie

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am about the losses that you have had recently. Death is a form of healing, I believe, and so we must have some amount of joy in it. Grief is a very selfish thing in that we grieve for oursleves and having to go through our life without our loved one. Take your time to grieve because it is something that you must through. Know that we are here for you and you can come to us any time you need to. I will be keeping your husband and you in my prayers. May God encircle both of you in the circle of His loving and healing arms. May He grant you peace, healing and understanding. May He give your medical professionals knowledge and understanding also. Please make sure to keep us posted on how things come out.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Good morning Annette and all, No, Annette you are not hogging at all. If you are up and can start it...by all means! I am so happy today is Friday for me and for lots of us. Am going to my mom's after work with my sis. They are moving to a retirement community, less than a mile or so from where they are but it is going to be, and is, a more than usual difficult move, as mom is one of the hoarder types and WON"T throw anything away. I mean anything. Old plastic containers, even butter ones, old old used Christmas wrap and I could go on. It is very traumatic for her and working full time makes it hard for me to help. My sister is a teacher so she is able to go over more with her summers off. So for today, I am praying for patience and tact and an understanding heart for myself towards my mom and dad. It is SO depressing to see the mess and the overwhelming end of her rope look on my mom, especially when being in it gives me and my sister the same hopeless feeling. I know, one bite of the elephant sandwich at a time. When I got home last night, there was a card from my sweet husband in the mail for me. He sent me this card to thank me for being there while he is going to school. He appreciated all my help and knows it's lonely when he is gone alot. I didn't think I was being especially helpful but how nice of him to say so. He definitely is a keeper. We are celebrating our anniversary on the 29th. I will prob go walk on the treadmill here in a few. I keep playing with the same 2 lbs. Up and down, up and down. And I let the evil saltines get me yesterday! Margo, I don't always have time to re- reply but I usually get home from work and read the posts again. So my time is 1-3 hours later so I think I see most of the later people. Not sure if mine are read when I post so late. Sometimes it's even later, like right before bed. So usually I read them at least twice a day. Weekends sometimes more. Sorry the legal stuff is going so slow. That is so annoying and frustrating. Have a great "Friday" everyone. And I am so so glad you are all here! C

We never touch people so lightly we do not leave a trace.

Good Morning, Annette, and Everyone! Haven't posted in about a week or so as I really haven't had anything to say..... Bad I know but I didn't.. I went into the office yesterday morning for a couple of hours and that was a mistake. Being gone so long mean problems upon return. I knew that and know that. I'll deal with it.... eventually. My friend at work took my b/p after working and it was incredibly low at 89/71. I had seen the p/c physician last week and it was fine. I plan to speak to the doctor about it today and get a b/p machine and track that myself more often. I think it times to change the medicine but will leave that to the doctors. Four weeks today since I had my surgery. I'm feeling fine except for waves of extreme exhaustion. I see the surgeon this afternoon for scheduled check-up and plan to ask about that. Seems I can tolerate anything I eat as well. That's a good thing I think but I'm figuring out it requires more discipline on my part. My loss for four weeks is 21 pounds. Naturally, I was hoping for more but satisfied with what I got! I'm busy walking twice a day and am up to 15 minutes on the treadmill. Don't care for any of it but I'm doing it! Annette, it's always great for anyone to start the daily posting. If you're up, post away! No hogging involved at all..... I wish you all well and hope everyone's July 4th is safe and happy and filled with tons of fun! Hugs, Kathi

Hi Kathi, 21 lbs. in 4 weeks! That is awesome! Do you realize that is over 5 lbs. a week, please keep it in perspective, I don't think I lost 21 lbs in my first 6 weeks, you are doing amazing. The exhaustion could simply be that you had major surgery 4 weeks ago and the bp, well that could be if you are on meds for bp, an adjustment to them, or perhaps not needing them any longer which happens to many after WLS, but in any event be sure to follow-up with you PC doctor.

Hugs, Laureen
