Ya Know what Reenie you are right on with this!That is why I found the over 50 board
this week as well. This has become too quiet. I am sure it will come back around we have been through this before.
You are also right about it being OUR part in getting this to work. I have found with
talking to this new Doc, I got complacent and that is one os those first things my original
WLS Doc told us (Now retired) don't get complacent. I know I have & that is changing
as we speak. If I want to get the rest of this regain off & then some, I HAVE TO DO IT, no one else. That is why I am back to walking & eating better.
I think this new Doc of mine will finally set me up with a nutrtionist to help with some
of the Diabetis questions I have about eating certain foods. I just hope I can find one that knows anything about WLS folks. Not likely, but hoping here!!
Happy 5 year soon!! Can you believe it was 5 yrs ago already.

Today I am missing
my Mom!
HI YA!
I know it has been such a long time since I was here.
Life is still a struggle ya know. quick update!
I am in graduate school again,
my husband has been laid off, off and on since thanksgiving. he has worked 8 days since January1st.
my son is beign bullied SEVERLY at school, we are getting the run around about solving this problem, we are looking at other schools for next year, it looks like private is where we are heading. (anyone need a kidney I got an extra for sale...I am only joking ... )
Both kids are playing hockey now...YIKES!!
It was a year ago next week that my mom went into the hospital for the last time, and we spent the next month in the hospital with her so I am struggling with that as well.
my weight is up from my lowest but hasn't changed but a pounds or 2 up and down since last year which actually impresses me
My husband has to loose some weight, his blood pressure is up so we are planning to start walking together when the bike path finally melts, this year the county didn't plow any of the paths to save $$ but it isn't safe to walk on our curvy streets, so hopefully next week the flooding will be gone and we can walk rather than swim and ice skate.
I haven't had any seizures and in June will hopefully be seizure free for a year. I have my drivers license back and have only had a few episodes when I feel really bad and most of those have been in the middle of the night, because my dumping is so delayed it is tricky to pinpoint what it is that is making me sick when I get sick. I try to eat only things that are ok. But you knowhow that goes. what doesn't bother you today, can make you VIOLENTLY ILL the next day.
ok...gotta go to hockey...
good to see you
Happy "surgi-versary" to all my fellow March-ers

Topic: To My Friends
I miss our Board. I just had to tell you that. And I won't dwell on any of it except I just needed to let you all know that I miss your energy, your humor, your passion, your dedication to what we've all meant to each other for five years . Sunday marks the 1st day of our Five Year Anniversary month. My heart is full of emotion and my mind is full of memories of those very early days, all those wonderful, wonderful people!!! I don't know how many of them still lurk but if you're out there, please know this - you have occupied a space in my heart for the last five years of my life, and because of you, in that space has dwelled a wealth of courage and strength and wisdom that has kept me going. You've kept me going. But now I'm realizing that if I am to continue to be successful in maintaining my level of health, fitness, strength - it's about me and my body. Nobody else can take it away from me; nobody else is responsible for it, just me. So I'm taking it on as my own. I don't know what the next five years holds for me ... but I just wanted to say thank you all so much for being such an important part of my journey. Thank you. Maureen

Topic: yoga
i'm off to my first yoga class. i'm scared!
i'm scared becasue i've not excersized in 6 months since the low blood sugar went nutty. when i get nervous or upset or do alot of excersize it use to set off another episode of low blood sugar crap.
so i think you all know now why i'm scared!
but i'm doing better. not 100% but better. i need to excersize. my doctors all tell me but the fears are what is holding me back.
i did go to the gym and plan on joining when the income tax comes in. my coach there was good and understood the low blood sugar thing. i hope the yoga instructor does.
well i can not live my life becasue of fears. i need to prepare myself so if something does happen i have near me what i need. then i need to get up and work out.
i'm scared.
can i get prayers and hugs pleaseeeee?
i'll let you all know how i make out.

Topic: RE: New Dr. Update
isn't it aweful that after all these years of them doing the surgery we the patients are still the ones to educate our doctors!
Topic: New Dr. Update
O.K. So I went back to the new Doc after bloodwork & pretty much all is o.k accept
the diabetis is out of control. So I am pretty much back to chicken & brocoli for awhile
to help get better control.very low-carb, (which should have been doing anyway)
The exercise I have started will help also. She is still concerned about the Blood pressure,was better, but not anywhere close to what she
would like.
We are waiting on approval for MRI on my back to find out why after 6 months I
still live on advill and/or pain meds for that. My potassium was up, but still very low
so have to watch that, but the Iron is lots better.
We will see what happens over the next few months. I don't reallly think she knows
all that much about WLS patiensts. But will wait and see how this all plays out
after the MRI. IIf I can get help with the back pain that would probably help
everything else. I will probably have to deducate her as we go along like all other of the
Docs here in Bullhead City.
