Wed Roll Call

Congrats, also Christie.  I work in Wheeling.\ When I was going to physical therapy for my back, the pt put me on an elliptical stepper thing and after ONE step my lower back (I have a herniated disc and some other funky discs) screamed "NO NO NO".  i DO have a recumbant bike that we bought last year, it's really nice.  Now I just need to get all my office files and dust off of it and start USING it again. I'm home now from work, and tired though.  I think I need to take it a bit easy tonite.

Good morning Illinoisans!

It sounds like many of you have things on your mind. Positive thoughts sent to everyone!

It's rainy in Rockford too--just kind of dismal. I'm supposed to go to a picnic tonight for our new resident doctors, but I'm not a picnic girl and if it's raining, I'm not going. Sitting under a shelter with a ton of people doesn't seem like fun to me.

We went to Madison yesterday to see Gretchen (NP). I got a .24 fill. I'm going to try 9 ccs again and eat more slowly. She did take all the fill out and put it back in and it doesn't seem to be leaking. I do feel more restricted today in the sense that I don't feel hungry. I hope this is the sweet spot for a while.

I had planned to go knitting this morning, but I have a patient scheduled so I will go on Saturday instead. I'm disappointed, but, that's the way it goes. Work comes first and I certainly have work at my desk to do. I'm going to have an MRI on my left knee on Friday. It hurts sometimes and office tests don't show anything, so this is the next step. I just want to know if it is something or just old age! LOL

Have a good day despite the weather!

Wow Connie, I had to look twice to realize that was you. Nice new avatar!

Wow Connie!  You are looking hot girl!  I had to do a double take at the name to know it was you!!  Love the new avatar!

Thanks to both of you. I was playing with my computer at work checking applications on the hard drive and found this application where the computer takes your picture as you sit there. So I played around with it and took a few pictures. It was fun!

Hi Connie - I don't know much about lap band.. I should since my hubby had it done but man.. 9ccs sound agressive!  Let me know how you do.  You have done very well with your weight loss.  Keep it up. Chrisitna

I had not much restriction at 8.75. I could eat a whole sandwich if I ate slowly. I really don't want to be able to eat bread because it's a binge food. Today I feel more satisfied than before. I hope it lasts because there isn't much further to go!

Glad your feeling the restriction.. all day at work I could not see the new you.  Now that I'm home.. you go girl!  you are a hottie in your new picture! Christina

Connie, your new avatar is fabulous.

Thanks to all of  you! It makes me feel great when I see the difference because in the mirror it doesn't look the same to me.
