Tuesday Roll Call

Dear Crystal:

Thank you so much for the comforting message.  When I told her how many adults these images upset, it really seemed to make her feel better.  She was afraid that she would be thought of as "crazy".  It really means a lot to me that so many of you have sent good wishes to Liv.

Thanks again,
Dawn

Good Morning Illinois,

Just a quick pop-in now. I'll try to post later.  Waiting for Earl to finish showering and get dressed so we can go vote.  Our SIL just called to say when he went there a half hour ago there was no one there waiting , in and out real quick.  Our town had really encouraged early voting so I'm thinking alot of people did that or are waiting til after work to vote.  We had too much going on to get over to vote early.  After voting we'll go to Jen's to get the girls bedroom painted.  It's about 1/3 of the way done.

The new hard wood floor gets installed on Friday. the girls are so excited about having their own room again. And so is their mom.  Our daughter has not been sleeping well, sharing a bed with two active girls.  and Sami flings her arm with the cast around during the night so someone usually gets bumped with it.

Hugs, Paulette

Hello Friends!! Just a quick drive by as I am at work and we are busy.  I am glad everyone liked my new avatar, I am amazed at how much I have changed since surgery 10 months ago.  TOM showed up this morning is a full blaze of cramps and grumpiness only to be offset by a 3lb loss.  This now puts me at 154lbs for a total of 98 lb total.  While my loss has slowed down, I am looking to maintain now which is easier said than done.  I declare today to be an official play hooky day.  It is too nice and I drove into work with the top down, this will be one of the last few days I will be able to do that for a while.

Hi everyone. Such a beutiful day. Working all day and night. I am going to start preping my dining room for a makeover. My weight loss seems to be stalling now that I am on mushies and I am still to sore to exercise. I might try to take a long walk today while the weather is still nice. Glad to hear your daughter is better Dawn.

Hi everybody,
Well I made it thru the surgery and tomorrow will be 1 week. Today is the first day I've felt like posting. I'm coming along pretty well, walking 5 min out of every hour and resting in between. I refuse to take the Vicodin liquid because everything is so bitter and nasty, so only using Tylenol. Trying to get a little more protien in and lots of fluids. I'm drinking every few minutes. Still have that shakey not quiet right tummy feeling but I think this is normal.  I'm hoping to get my drain out on Thursday but still getting a lot out. 

Just wanted to stop by and say I made it to the other side and look forward to this being behind me and moving forward.

Welcome home!
I am so glad to hear that you are doing well.  It looks to me like you are following the rules and each day will be a bit better than the last!

Hello on this beautiful warm day! Well, perhaps warmer than where you are because I am in the British West Indies in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos! I went in the ocean today and the colors of the bue water look like the ads on TV. They really are that blue! Kay has been snorkeling and plans to go sailing tomorrow. I am happier on land! WE couldn't have done this without WLS and we are so grateful!

I might get to check in a time or two depending on the connections.

Take care friends!
