Wednesday Roll Call
I sure enjoyed the weather and my Irish meal. Most of the village departments were invited to the fire dept for a corned beef and cabbage meal. They also had fire fighter drum and bag pipers, they were fantastic. The members of that team come from all over the suburban area FDs and one of them is one of our own fire fighters. Good meal and it got me out of the dept for an hour.
Weather was great and I extended my walk to enjoy it.

Good morning Christine and IL friends! Wow, yesterday's weather was fantastic! 
I just love the warm and sunny weather. St. Pat's Day was fun at work. I had people coming to my office to see what I was wearing. They got a kick out of my green tiara.
I journaled all my food yesterday and was just shy of 800 calories for the day. I can't believe I made it. It felt good waking up this morning knowing that I was successful yesterday.
It's a very busy day and week at work. Major projects going on at the same time. Then there is the last minute stuff that people come to my office for or send me an email! Ugh!! But, I'll get through it somehow.
Chris, I plan on coming back to meeting the pre-ops once I get my act together and its solid. I loved talking to them. I think it helped me stay on track too.
Crystal, I am so proud of you gal. You're going a great job with your liquid diet. Soon your day will be here and you will be so happy. Remember to enjoy those early days post-op, called the honeymoon phase. You lose weight consistently! It's wonderful.
Wishing all a wonderful Wednesday.
Hugs,
Lucy

Pre-op/RNY day/pre DS day/current/goal- Realize Band 5/15/08; RNY 6/8/05, Removal Band and RNY to DS 8/25/10. RNY & Band surgeon was Dr. Guske.
Hi Dawn. Nice to have a message from you.
I'm really focusing on the person I was before, and working hard to bring her back to the surface. It will get easier as the days pass on by. It will be a routine for me... Ah, that sounds heavenly.
I can't say that I am hungry. That is far from the truth. I think my body is going to be one happy camper soon.
I really must be on track for many weeks to feel like myself again. I am doing this, one small step at a time. I've got two great tools to help me.
Thanks sweetie!

Good Morning Chris and the rest of IL
Chris, I waved at you and Dave last night as we drove by on our way to Olive Garden for Tyler's birthday dinner. It was yummy, I ended up having the Grilled Shrimp Caprese, but only eating the shrimp and a little of the salad they bring out. I let my ex take home the rest of my pasta that came with it...no one here said they would eat it, so why let it go to waste right?
I have been having trouble sleeping the last couple of nights. I get really bad restless leg, only in my left leg though and it makes me have to get up for a while. I was up til 2am last night and up at 6am so I only got about 4 hours of sleep, I'm thinking a nap is in order today. Tonight we have Tyler's awards night for wrestling and that's it! I will try to get to bed early then!
I hope everyone has a wonderful, warm, dry and safe day today!

Ya know, I had RLS really bad before surgery and then for a few weeks after I got home it was more like Restless body syndrome. It went away and I never had it again...until 2 nights ago!
I have my one year appt next Tuesday with Dr Rantis and I have it on my list of questions for him! lol
I can't believe it's been almost a year since I went through my own personal h*ll

Four hours means you got in one good sleep cycle but two would be nice. RLS, the leg kicking thing, legs swelling, sleep apnea and pets in bed as well as other bed partners can mess up our sleep cycles and this is bad for our weight loss as well. I had a nice nap yesterday afternoon but was still tired at 9:30 and foolishly went to bed without taking my meds so I was up at midnight taking my meds to make me go to sleep after I had been in bed for two hours going in and out of sleep. Just the fact that we are up longer messes with our eating and then being tired always makes me think I need to eat something with sugar in it.

So you have been forgiven?
Good Morning to all.
Just a normal Wed. for me today. Nothing exciting happening.
Crystal, you are doing great. Maybe you will be able to join your daughter in one of her trips after you lose your weight and have more energy then you have ever had.
Chris, I am always wondering how you find time to do everything you do.
Lucy, I get to see our Dr on Friday. It seems we have the same issues to talk to him about. I too have been keeping track of food for the last 2 weeks. ( and not losing since Dec).
Nancy, it seems you are feeling better. That is great.
Everyone have a great day,
Stay safe and warm.
Huggers,
Lisa
