Topic: RE: Lurker's Lounge

Thanks for the run down RO. I have been a little MIA, but not posting to much. My 2 year old has had a nasty sinus infection this week and since hubby is on mids I have not slept more than 2 hours n the last 5 days. But she is finally feeling better and back to her princess self.

We did take the kids to Disney on Ice last Saturday which was wonderful. Both kids were dancing in the aisle the whole time, except for when the sea witch came out

Not much else to report. DH just finished seminar and orientation for the lap band and seems to be excited about it. I am to as it will definitely get my eating back in check, which has been off the charts the last couple weeks with stress and such. I am also due to start some fertility drugs on Sunday to work on baby number 3. Wish us luck with the baby dancing.

 

Talk to ya’ll soon!

Welcome to the Lurker's Lounge... Please help yourself to a relaxing drink (water???, Tea???) and spill your guts on what's going on!  Something new???  Anything???   Oh, and as for rules... just "cut-in to any conversation that you feel like" ... it's not rude; just fun!



Any Takers!!!!

Well... Chatters... Hope that you will stop by the Lounge again!  Here's a few News worthy updates from last week to follow: 

Major News:  Heather is Pregnant!!!!   (and in denial about her baby girl... HeHeHe).  Boy names are an issue, but she and DH will have to fight it out so that they don't have to settle on Junior! Perhaps Shawn can give you a few ideas... 3 sons... and our Post-WLS Girlie... Sydnie!  Love the pics of your kids, Lovey!

Grand babies were discussed... with Betty, Lynnell, and yours truly letting the gang know that we get cuddles from our cuties.

Melissa had a major decision to make... Keep her LIFE or Work to DEATH... No seriously, Mel had to make a really hard choice and decided to remain at her original job, which allows for her to have it ALL... and I'm certain that she'll still be a major asset to the WL community... that's just the way she IS... Thank Goodness!

Nat is back from Israel and looking fine!  Kelly has been at Disney for Fall Vacation!!

Bea is making the move to a new townhouse!  We wish her luck and wait for updates!

Molly is ushering in the Holidays early!  Just Love It!  Time to get the baking ideas going gang... Molly, Heather, and Diana (love your Doo)... we're going to need some Yummy Foodies to get through Fall.

Hint... Hint...   New Food listing are always welcome here!

Jefin came to visit and mentioned PS!  BTW, She's my and Amy's Surgery Sister!  Amy... Are you MIA, Girlfriend? (Hope that DH is working on his Lbs... cause My DH is falling "behind" on his goal... with only 1 month left before Son #2's WEDDING!  You can't make someone "diet"...  
 Well, back to PS... Wow do we need to start getting info together on this subject... At nearly 2 years out, most of us are getting pretty sick of living with the hanging skin.  Elaine made an accurate point about the double life our bodies "live"; dressed OK... Commando not so much so... Bummer!  She's getting ready for PS!!!  Stephanie might be able to give us some pointers!!!

My PS Queen is still missing... AQ has not been heard from since the Hurricane hit!  Anyone with contact, please call out to her.  Dawn,  YOU know that we're waiting for you to reappear... Busy 1! Steve????  What'ssss Upppp?

Maghan, we're hoping that you get some relief from you disc pain and that your surgery issues will be clarified soon.  I'm there with Maghan waiting for answers... I decided to WAIT for yet another vaginal ultrasound, as I have cysts, but no masses.  I feel fine... and will update in 2 months... after I have some results!  Thanks for all of the well wishes... Hangin' in There!

Liz (great pics of the Twins), Gigi, Misty, Nancy, Paula, Stephanie, Alarenwa, Marsha (hope the Dehydration problems are getting better), Patti, and Kathi (who should post more... HeHeHe... hope that all is well with your daughter... smooch!)... all "made it" to the Dec. MB! 


Terisa, Mini Me, and Rachel popped-in... three very busy ladies, who I miss "bunches"

So there's a mini wrap-up for the LURKERS....  If I missed anyone... COME ON DOWN...!!!
There's always enough room here.... so let's PARTY!!!!

For more reasons than I can even post here, I am very glad i stepped down, it was the right decision for me for *SO* many reasons.  Thanks for supporting me in whatever decisions I make.  It means the world to me.

Topic: RE: Hello All
After spending a few days there I realized quickly it was way more than I can handle both stress wise and with wanting to start a family soon.  I swallowed my pride and asked my old boss for my job back.  (the weekend job). She agreed after a long discussion to see if I was making a rational decision.  The program is set up that the coordinator do EVERYTHING and honestly its not feasible.  Really it isn't.  Between stress, family planning and expectations that I feel aren't achievable for one person or the part tiem staff hired, I decided it was best for me, my husband, my family, his family and my health to step down and I am very glad I did.  The other physician and I would have had personality conflicts I do believe.  SO this is ok.

I hope you guys understand.

I wasn't exercising at all.. no.  It was a destructive thing in the making I do believe.  Back to my old healthier lifestyle now.. I am happy.

You have a good week too Molly and always its great to hear from you!!!!!
Hugs, Melissa

I think that there actually is a sequence that PS prefer when they do combination operations.

Insurance might consider your augmentation because you lost so much after WLS, regardless of what procedure you had years ago.  I'd ask... can't hurt asking!

Seromas can be a big problem for some PS patients... years of pain!!!  I'm shaking now!

If think that it is recommended to increase Protein prior to PS, actually any surgery, to help with healing.  I've heard some suggest 90 - 120g daily total before surgery helps, but I'd check with the PS / Nutritionist to be certain. 

Anemia between surgeries... sounds like she might have been low before, but I guess it could be related solely to the stress of PS on the body...  loss of blood?  trauma? 

I have more questions... than answers!

You might not believe this, but I am actually happy that you reaccessed your life and work load!

I know that you will always be a valuable asset to the Weight Loss community.  Your current job offers you much more flexibility and potential to meet your special personal goals, such as having a family and your sanity.

I am proud of you for making this tough, but Correct decision! Today you have grown much more than you realize... You will not have regrets!

Hi Ro,

Not an easy decision but I decided to step down, it was too much for me right now in my life.  I got my old job back, I am happier now.  It was so tough to call a meeting and tell everyone today.  Talk about my pride but they wanted SO much out of this person that it wasn't giving up my life for this job :(
Hugs, Melissa

Nat... My hair was so poofy in that pic... that's how well the Biotin works!  Needed a trim in the pic!

Lizzie types!  I knew she looked smart... must take after her Momma!   Typo-schmypo... it's all good! 

Can't wait to see the new highlights! 
Love, Ro

I wish that I'd asked you sooner... such a good idea!  I like the pile fairness aspect and that you can get a breather as Christmas nears.  It must make for a much more enjoyable season.

I'm hoping that the Grands make our small group appreciate the meaning of Family and Christmas.  Giving $$$ is a bummer.   Bright Eyes and Surprises are better!

Ho Ho Ho!
