Topic: RE: Hey all
Hey guys!
I know I havent been on in a long while. Had some time to check in this evening.
I am having a problem though and I am wondering if it is a Vit. B1 deficiency.
I am playing softball and I did not do anything to pull a muscle or anything. All of a sudden both of my thigh muscles cramped up and I could barely walk.  This was on Sunday. They are still hurting not as bad but it is there. I cant hardly like pull my leg behind me and stretch my thighs that way, that is when it hurts the worse.  Has anyone had this?  I do have to admit I havent taken B1 in quite a while and thought this was a possibility.  I go for my 1 1/2 yr. appt. Monday so I do plan on asking and I have started back on my B1.  If anyone has experienced this, how long did it last? What did you have to do to get back to normal, etc.?
So how has everyone been doing?

I really havent experienced "dumping syndrome".  I have noticed that if I eat a little too much sugar or even sugar alcohols usually the next day my stomach is very gassy and hurts. Hurts to the point I have to lay down and then finally I will get the diarrhea and its all over.  Its not real fun what I go thru, I cant imagine the full effect of dumping syndrome.

Good morning everyone!
I am working EMS today so I thought I would hop on here and see what was going on.  After I get off here tonight at 7pm, I will do my weekly trip to Walmart to grocery shop.  Then Sunday my plans are to be a couch potato and get caught up on some much needed rest.
Suppose to be a crappy weekend here and possibility of snow flurries tomorrow....what is up with that?
I am ready for some heat to warm my bones up...lol.

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend.
Happy Anniversary Lachelle!

I just had to respond to you. I to am having a very hard time staying away from the coffee.  The new McDonalds Latte (SF Vanilla) I have at least 1-2 a day and have coffee most evenings to.  Wonder why we are so addicted to the coffee?

Good morning everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well.  I am still here, just dont get to get on here very often anymore. I am kind of at a stand still on my weight (I think) I am down to about 118 now. Makes my total weight loss 152 #. Way more then I wanted to lose, but maybe if I have the rebound weight gain that they talk about, I will get back to where I want to be.  I put a new picture of my family this past Christmas on my profile.
I am working EMS today until 2, then probably going to the grocery and relaxing.  Hopefully, I get warm today. I am so tired of being cold. Winter can go away and stay away. You guys warned me that I would not be liking the winter and snow and I have to say you are right.
I am playing on a softball league this spring and I cannot wait.  We had practice last Sun. and it was great to be able to get out there like I used to when I was a kid.  I felt like a kid again.  I told my daughter, I wished I would have done this surgery a long time ago.  I am loving life now, its just awesome!
So, anyone out there contemplating it.......well it is very much well worth it.

Sherry, what is up with this pill you are talking about? Is this something you got from Mayo's?

I miss all of you guys and wish I could chat with you more. Maybe one of these days I will get a computer at home and then I can.
Enough rambling!

Thank you so much for the little valentine card and the flavoring for water. 
That was so thoughtful of you to think of me.  Hope you had a great valentines day.
I miss you guys all to.  I know I say this everytime, but I just feel so lost not being able to get on here everyday like I used to. Now I actually have to work at work.....lol!
Is anything new going on?

I just saw where you have had your surgery.  Congratulations!  Hope you are getting along well.
The sore throat is from being intubated. Like everyone else said, just keep your throat moist. I think mine only lasted a couple days.

Topic: RE: Hi Everyone
It has been forever since I have been on here. I have been so busy. Thought I would take a few minutes and check in.
Looks like there are a lot of new people.  That is great!
Welcome everyone that is fairly new.
Terri- I see where you need some prayers sent your way. I hope Lyn gets better very soon.  You hang in there and we will all keep you in our prayers.

I hope everyone else is doing well.  Hope you got out after the big snow.  They say we are suppose to be getting another snow storm first of next week.
I got stuck in my road for about 2 hours at least I was right in front of my house. So I just shut the car off and went in the house....lol!  Then we got the tractor out and got it out and got our drive way plowed out.  I wasnt able to make it to work Wed. night.

I am still doing ok.  I havent been real good on my fluid intake. I am drinking way too much coffee which I am trying to cut back down.
I go to the doc in May for my 1 1/2 yrs. I cant believe it has been long already.  Time flies!

Well I will try and touch base at least once a week. I probably dont know the half of what has been going on in all your lives. 

Good luck to all those getting ready for surgery and approvals and get well to all those that just had surgery.  Prayers going out to everyone.

Hugs
Jenny

Sounds like you have an alright guy to watch after you.
Sounds like you were just a little on the dehydrated side. 
I have to admit, I havent been the best with water myself.  I mean I drink, but no****er.  Usually coffee and milk.  I need to get back in the habit with water.

Wow!
Hopefully, they will get you all fixed up and 2009 you only have to undergo this 1 surgery and that will be all. 
I saw on another post where Peter passed away as well.  I sent Hope a message.  I cannot imagine what she is going through.
I wish you all the luck in the new year.

Hope,

I just read about Peter and I am so sorry for your loss.
I know we have never met, but I wanted to let you know you are in my prayers.
I dont get on the board as much as I used to since I started a new job, so I dont find these things out right away.
God Bless You!
Jenny

Sherri, I just now read that your mother in law passed away. I am so sorry to hear this.  When did this happen?
Is there anything new with your stomach? Have they figured anything else out within the past couple months.  I just cant keep up with everyone on here now with not being on the computer daily.  Feel me in!
Hope you had a great Christmas!

Good morning everyone!
I havent been on here in forever. I had to be at EMS this morning, so I thought I would get on here and start the thread for today.
Everything is going good with me.  Got thru the holidays. I am just glad they are over.  It is just to hectic anymore.
I am down 145 lbs (15 lbs under my goal) 
One day I had a little too much sugar I guess and was in the bathroom. I never threw up, but my stomach was cramping something terrible and had diahrea (sp?) really bad.  It was enough to make me watch that sugar.
So how has everyone been.  Anything new and exciting in anyone's lives?
I hope everyone is doing well.
I wanted to also say thank you to Janene & Sherry for the Christmas cards. I just didnt get any out this year.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Just thought I would drop in and say hello.
I just cant stand not being able to get on here everyday and keep up on everyone.
What is going on with everyone?  Any new news good or bad?
I am pretty much done with my Christmas shopping.  Just need to get a few more things, but as usual it will be last minute.  Probably next Tues.  I didnt do Christmas cards this year.  So here is your card

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

I hope everyone is doing well!  I am still doing well.  Still trying to maintain, I must still be losing inches cause I still have people saying are you going to ever stop.  GRR!

Well I need to go get some billing work done for the EMS.
TTYL!

Good Saturday Morning All,
Wished I was sleeping in, but no chance of that since I had to be at EMS at 7am. 
EMS decided they were going to pay me to do accounts payable and billing. So when I work I am getting paid.  So now I have a 2nd job.  Which helps since I took a pay cut when I left here FT.  So with my 2 incomes combined I will be making what I was making when I was here FT. That is not even counting my commission that I will be getting in a couple months at my new job.  So I am excited!
I hope everyone has fun at the ornament exchange.  You all try to stay warm out there today. It is freezing!
Everyone have a great day!

I am working EMS tonight. Just wanted to get on here and say a quick hello.
I wished I could go to the ornament exchange, but I will be working EMS.
I hope you all have fun. 
Not really much going on in my life right now.  Just trying to get Chrismas shopping done.  I hate to shop so it makes it bad.  But I will get it done.
I hope everyone is doing well and I will get with you all next time I am online. Probably next week.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I am at my mom & dad's. I made a SF pumpkin pie last night, deviled eggs and bought rolls.
I miss being on here everyday. I feel like I have deserted you all.  I am loving my new job.  It has been 3 wks today.  It is so nice not to have to work for once on a holiday.  I would usually work every holiday. 
It is looking like I am not going to make the ornament exchange. I am going to have to work that day.  I will just have to catch up with you all later.
I hope everyone has a great day with their families.
