Topic: RE: Home from the hospital
 As the day goes on, I feel more achey and listless.  But I'm guessing that once I start the pureed diet, I'll begin to feel a little more energized. Also, I didn't take my multivite today so that may also be contributing to my tiredness. I have Tylenol w/codeine, so I think I'll take that tonight to help me sleep.

There are people like me who care about people like you.  The world is so filled with chaos and everyone is so self-centered it seems.  You could switch up everything and still find yourself in the same place when it comes to dealing with people/friends.  True friends and people who care enough to set another person as a priority in their life are not that easy to come by for anyone...IMO. 

I once read:


 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

I don't know what your faith is but one thing for sure...it can't be in people.  I praying that you will be comforted.  If you like you can send me your phone number....I have a home based ministry and I'd love to try to connect with you.

Remember this...there is one that sticks closer than a friend.  One who has given His life for you.  That's where all of your expectation should be and this One will never let you down.

God bless

 
 

    

May God bless us in all of our endeavors.  May He forgive us for our frailties and our vanities and bless us to be prosperous in health, soul, and in life.

Sounds like a plan...walk and rest.  Congrats on your surgery and of course you'll get all that you need in when the time is right.  How do you feel?

Topic: Home from the hospital
 Hi Everyone,

Had my gastric bypass on Tuesday morning and I just got home about 30 minutes ago.  Feeling tired, but ok.  Dr. Wynn wants me to stay on clear liquids until Saturday morning, then I move on to the pureed foods.  On the way home from the hospital the one thing that rattled around in my head was HOW am I going to be able to get in at least 64 ounces of fluid and 64 grams of protein each day, if I can barely get down 20 oz of fluid the last couple of days in the hospital.   Not to mention the vitamin, calcium, previcid  and urso forte.      I have my follow up with her on Friday, January 29th. 

Well, think I'll walk around the house for a little bit and maybe take a nap.

Topic: RE: Missed you all at PRMI
I think she was a different person than who I heard speak two weeks ago. I have a nutrition class in the AM, and Life Skills in the PM. Too bad I live and work in Newark lol Wish I could just knock both out at the same time, but oh well. The prep is not for our convienence. If it were to be easy, everyone would be doing it. I truely believe that only the determined patients make it, and have the best success.

have you ever woke up one day and say the life you are living is just not working?
that you wanted to design a new life.
new thoughts
new friends or any friends at all (since i know people but don't have friends)
new hobbies: you know what you like but want to do more in some areas and drop completely other areas and actually do them
i have to admit looking for work is depressing enough
farmville is interesting and very addicting

it has come to my attention that if i didn't log onto farmville and any computer anything would anyone notice?  would anyone think to call and check on me?? 

i have just come through a period of time (Halloween 09 through new year 10) where only my mother called to check on me.  and to deliver the news her brother died and she had a stroke.  my 2 grown kids had select things to say ABOUT me but nothing else.
i would call someone if there was someone to call.  if i knew the person would want to talk to me and not just answer the phone because. 

i realize i present my self depressingly.  my life is so so empty.  i have so much and yet i am so lost.  i will be the first to admit it.

i am ashamed.  i prefer not to tell anyone my whiny problems since on the grand scale of life they are just that - petty. 

my health has created some major situations.  the latest is a gd one.  i can not urinate.  i have gone to the urgent clinic.  got some meds.  i have an upcoming appointment w an urologist.  the situation is not nice. 

thanks for reading.
