It sure has been awfully quiet around here..Is everyone okay?

So what has been keeping everyone so busy these past few days? Hopefully all good things! Just wanted to check in and make sure all is well with ur little family here.

Lately I only have time to check in a couple of times a day, but know I do check in and care very much about all of you. I have been keeping very busy with trying to get my business off the ground, getting ready to go to a wls retreat next week, and busy with family and trying t take care of "me" in the midst of everything else.

The wind has been crazy around here. One day last week it litterally blew so hard it caused the playset (swings, tower, slide0 in our back yard to collapse, and it was only about 6 months old. also loosened up shingles in a couple of areas on our roof. Insurance adjuster was here today checking it all out. I think one of our shingles may have landed in OZ.  The day the damage occured the winds were up to 55 mph. Just crazy! Suprised our poor dogs didn't get blown away.

You all take great care. Hugs!

Hi Patrece!
I was thinking the same thing myself.. Where has everyone gone?
Things are looking/feeling better on my "end"

The scale is beginning to move! Down a total of 69 lbs (including pre-op diet), but I will take it!
Only 2 more lbs to go and I will finally break the 300 lbs mark.. boy I can't wait!

Only 7 more lbs and I will be at my all time lowest weight ****il I surpass it of course!)
Soon every lb lost will be a new "low"

Have a wonderful weekend

Ledaizey, I am soooo happy for your progress and your upcoming all time low! Who says its a bad thing to be a loser right?? lol.
Glad to to see things on your "end" have improved! I know you were miserableeeeeeee...
You have a wonderful weekend too! Thanks for checking in!

Hey Patrece, 
 
Been working ALOT of overtime the last week, I had to call out last night was just exhausted, I had a headache and at was making me feel dizzy and lightheaded. Talking to my hubby about it he said it was cause I pushed my self to hard to fast. work 7 days in a row different shifts at diffrent hours and not sleeping well, plus only 3 months out from surgery, just to much to fast. I got a semi goodnight sleep last night, ( woke at 2:30 and laid in bed listening to the rain) just as I feel back to sleep the little one woke (around 3) she made me so proud got out of bed to pee, and didn't wet the bed :-)  I woke up today feeling better. Still a bit tired, but no headache or dizziness.

Just a few minutes ago I stepped on the scale and started dancing, FINALLY UNDER 200 lbs .. woo hoo ... not to much but it is a very good feeling ... ( the answer is 199lbs) But I don't feel bad telling people my weight anymore, cause i really don't look it. :-)
I am no size 14 pants and a large shirt, I get to go shopping later today need to buy an outfit for a wedding for tomorrow, nothing like waiting til last minute to shop, but wasn't gonna buy anything sooner and have it to big.

I'm trying to change my profile picture, however it keeps telling me every file i pick is to big, ugh .. one day I'll figure this thing out.

Well off to find some breakfast and hang out with my niece ( who is still living with us)
Enjoy the day, hope the weather is BEAUTIFUL :-)

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! It is a very big deal the day we arrive in onederland! I remember when I hit onederland, I was practically doing cartwheels! Well ok I wasn't doing that.. but ya know what i mean! Congrats girl! keep up the great work!

If you go to photobucket.com you can upload you pic there free, resize it and save it. Try that.

So glad you have your niece around to fill your heart and for you to give her the love and care she deserves. Children are such a gift.

The headache and dizziness can also be from low blood sugar, or dehydration. Also be sure yu are getting in your iron and other supplements. Any of these things can contribute. Also if you are on blood pressure meds, check out what your BP is running.. may need lowered.

Keep up the great work gal! Thanks to you too for checking in!

Well Morning Sickness has been kickin my Butt big time - have been taking Zofran and it helps but it is not 100%.... I am very tired all the time as well... due to being PG as well as my iron is taking a nose dive once again and my hematologist says he does NOT want to do any iron transfusions unless absolutely necessary during pregnancy! I have been trying to tape off all the trim in the living room, kitchen and hall so that I can eventually paint it sometime this year... lol I have been working on taping it off for over a week now... no energy to do anything.

Hope everyone is doing well... sorry for not posting more often.

Ohhh phyl, I know that morning sickness really got to Candice bad too. I wonder if it is worse after bariatric surgery? Also, are you taking bariatric specific iron? if not, consider checking out BBvitamins.com and trying theirs. They'll even send you a free sample if you ask them to.

Taping off the livingroom doesn't sound like bed rest to me! LOL...  How are things going for you with the baby and pregnancy other than morning sickness and iron issues? Keeping you and that lil one in my heart and prayers.
Thanks for checking in and updating us on how you are!

I am taking the Iron from Building Blocks.... they are great!! after 1 month my Iron when from 12 to 22, now after the second month on them it is back down to 12....

The High Risk OB said I could do pretty much what ever I wanted - but to take it easy and go back to bed rest if I started spotting red/pink or brown again.... So that is how my life has been dictated these days... on what is on the TP... lol Other than the morning sickness and the occasional spotting everything seems to be going great!! I have an OB appointment today with my reg OB and then an appointment on Tuesday with the HR OB and have an Ultra Sound that day as well.
Thanks for the prayers are all appreciated!!

Let me know how the appt goes! Thinking of you all the time and always praying this time will go weel for you and your hubby. I know how much you want this.

Thanks bunches!!! I am off to go lay down.... I be way to tired to think of even finishing up the taping - Elizabeth is here maybe I can get her to do it.... no never mind... it wont be to the way I WANT it... hehehe and I will have to redo it anyway - you know me... Hugs
