Repeat of DRUM ROLL PLEASE . . .
Happy Thursday to you all. I just wanted to post for some of the newbies to the board info on the planned get together that will be on May 6th at my house in Itasca. I have had a full week and am really looking forward to the upcoming weekend. We have not heard from some of our regulars recently that are usually here, that being Lucy, Jeannine, Kim Markham, Karyn B, Mary W, Willow to name a few. Come out, Come out where ever you are. I know many of you lead busy lives and have full family and work loads I hope that you are at least taking time for yourselves. You men lurkers - you too are welcome to come also. My husband had RNY WLS and if he knew that you were going to be here he would be here also. Otherwise he will probably be over at the next door neighbors while they play bags on their driveway.
Here is the link to what I posted a week plus ago for your reference. I will put it up again next week to remind all of the upcoming event. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/IL/postdetail/31431.html?vc=0

girl !!!

What time is your apt? Mine is at 330. I am coming right after work in uniform, Andrea wants to see it (the uniform, that is). Next Thursday is support group also if you are still interested.
Is work getting you down? Just go out and buy some new undies that is what makes me feel better. Boy, is Dr M in for a treat next week! I was a little overwhelmed lately plus it is yearly review time. I do not really have anything to worry about because I have worked my butt feathers off. I in passing mentioned it to the deputy chief joking this week saying I better get a good one and he said it is really good, there are a lot of "Chris has done this and Chris has done that". I still worry because he has been a little harsh in the past. I just always hate the goals he sets for me, nothing I can't accomplish but I usually can put my little peasized brain around his concepts eventually and do them.
Well, going to spin around the boards a little before needing to get ready for work. Have not decided whether to ride my bike or not today. It is a little cold right now and I am fighting a mini head cold.

Good morning Chris. My appointment with Dr. Madry is at 1 p.m. I have to decide which of my new sexy
underwear I'm going to wear!
I know it's naughty, but I love it! I'm planning on bringing them a treat.
I was planning on coming to the support meeting on Thursday. I remember the theme was about shopping and clothes. My favorite topic and thing to do.
Work is getting me down and has been for the past year. I truly believe that my strangulated hernia was caused by my body forcing me into a rest mode because I was so stressed out. I wasn't taking any time off from work, saving it all for my LBL and thighplasty that I had done in November. I was so close in getting a new job at Good Shepherd and would have seen Dr. Madry a lot. I was one of two candidates. Oh well, I am still searching.
I am more rested this morning. I have to go back to Oak Brook for a work related seminar, day two! Yesterday it took me over an hour to get home. I was so exhausted but had to call my mom and see how she is doing. She had a knee replacement in March and is going through rehab. SHe is doing very well.
Yeah, Dr. M is definitely in for a double treat next week and on the same day! Depending on the office and his schedule, I may or may not see you. If he is delayed and backed up, I just might see you there. If not, I definitely will see you at the support meeting.
We can compare notes after our ps visit with him.
Have a wonderful day!! Congrats on the kudos at work. You deserve it and then some!
Hugs,
Lucy






Hi Chris,
You are right, busy at work. It's been a very hectic week combined with not feeling too well. I am looking forward to some sleep. I have been very tired lately and saw my PC Monday for a follow up visit. My blood pressure is low which she attributes to some of the tiredness. I am getting in 50-60 oz of water daily in addition to other fluids. She wants me to up them. I see my surgeon in about 2 weeks for my 6 month follow up visit.
I need to take time for me and ramp up the excercise and move to lose as they say. I look forward to meeting all of you on the 6th.
Have a great weekend all
Mary
