Good Morning All!

enjoy ur evening to urself!!  vick

Good Morning,

Just getting home from working half a shift last night.  Census was low, I was 'on call' till 3:30 am.  Feeling ready to face the day at this time.  I slept well before work and during my call hours. 

Today I am calling the clinic this am to track down my FMLA forms.  I am supposed to have them turned in tomorrow.

Just mixed up my pitcher of 5 shakes for today.  Including today, 9 days of shakes before surgery on the second.

Looks like a good day for outdoor activities.  Dog walk it is. 

Have a great day everyone.  Hugs, Kathy

Good morning buddies!

I have a strong dislike for Mondays.  I always have a terrible time getting out of bed and then getting myself revved up for another week of work.  Ugh!

BUT today is MAGICAL - MY KIDS WENT BACK TO SCHOOL! 

I am lucky in that I didn't have to pay for child care over the summer as my husband only worked Tuesday - Thursday and then my 16 yr old son and 12 yr old daughter kep****ch over my 11 yr old son and 9 yr old daughter when my husband did work.  BUT, I will save money as the $50 average per week that I will pay for their lunches at school will be much cheaper than the amount of food they and their gazillion friends went through each week over the summer. 

I am now 3 weeks away from my surgery.  I am getting more and more nervous about it.  I'm not overly concerned about the anesthetic or the surgery itself, but I am worried about the pain and recovery after.  I think I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I normally avoid taking medication that might make me feel out of it or that I'm not in control of myself.  I'm not going to allow my fear take over!  I am going through with it and I know I am going to be successful in the long run - but, as it gets closer, the reality is settling in and it's a bit scary!

I begin a 1200 calorie diet next Monday (8/31) and then I'll be on a liquid diet beginning the Saturday before my surgery (9/12).  It seems odd to me that there is so much variance in the diet restrictions prior to WLS.  I have chatted with many people that were on a liquid diet for a month or two weeks before surgery.  Things that make me go "Hmm..?"  LOL

I guess I've jabbered enough for this morning.  Back to work!  I hope that you all have a glorious day and I hope to chat with you this evening!

Take care!

Hi Kim,

I guess the big thing I worry about with this whole thing is the liquid diet before the surgery.  I pray I can get thru it without cheating. The pain doesn't worry me too  much.  Are they doing the surgery laproscopically ?  If they are it shouldn't be too bad.  I had an emergency c-section for the birth of my son and they give you plenty of pain meds with that. 

Good luck and Gods Blessing to you,

Jenn
