Thursday Roll Call
Hello everyone,
I am at work and I am surprisingly awake. Usually, I am very tired. One more day till the weekend starts!!! Woohoo!!!
Well my restriction is doing good. Now after every meal I seem to get the hiccups. Someone mentioned it could be because I'm eating too fast. So I took my time eating my next meal and I got them again. Oh well. Also, since my fill I have the oddest moans and groans coming from my throat/stomach. But they aren't burps. It happens all of the time, sometimes all I have to do is swallow my saliva and the weird gurggly moan comes from my throat/stomach. Hmmmm. I'm not complaining though, just thought I would share.
Well it slmost Saturday. I get see my daughter soon!!!
Monica- I'm sorry you are having problems with your marriage. I know I can relate. I was in a bad relationship for years before I got the courage and the money to leave. Hey maybe we can be roommates...hahaha.
Well I better get going. Have a wonderful day.

Good morning Illinois!
Rain, rain go away...ugh
I'm going to a seminar on Workers comp this morning, so got to sleep in a little. Yeah.
Crystal, glad you are having good restriction, however knowing nothing about being banded, yet, do you think you might be just a tad too tight? I have no idea, just a thought.
Hope everyone is doing well, Randy, hope you are feeling better, along with all the surgery people.
Have a great day. Georgie

Good Morning Crystal and all my other IL friends!
Crystal, I would love to be roommates with you, but I don't think you'd want to room with 2 teenagers too! LOL Though they are the good kids for the most part.. :-)
Today I am babysitting for my neighbor kids again from 8 til 9:30 and then I have orientatioin for school at 10 and a Dr's appt for my sinuses at 2:30pm. I have had a sinus headache since yesterday morning, it sucks
Other than that, nothing on the adgenda. I'm enjoying my last few days of freedom before school starts on Monday and hopefully a job not long after that. Then I will be able to pay off my bills and start putting money into a savings account for me and my boys, should the need arise!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and please stay safe and dry!

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!
Although I am RNY, not banded, my "full signal" is the hiccups a lot of the time. If I start to hiccup, I need to stop eating or I will be very uncomfortable. Just a strange thing about WLS. Some people say that their nose begins to run when they are full.......
As far as the gurgles and noises, I too had those very frequently in the beginning. They were LOUD! Now, it still happens, but not as often. I was assured that this is all normal for a RNY, perhaps the same for a "sweet spot" band?
Today, I am celebrating my 17 years of marriage to the "best guy on the planet". We have been together for 23 years, but married for 17. I love him now as much as ever.
I am at work for the first of the 3 days I have left before my pelvic surgery. I intend to begin protein loading to help with the healing. Tomorrow, I go for my 3 year nutritionist visit at my WLS surgeon's office, then to the hospital for my pre-op physical. I got the WLS surgeon to send me the lab sheet so that I can get my 3 year labs done tomorrow also, while I am at it.
Thank you ALL so much for the great thoughts, wishes and support. You are THE BEST!!!!!
I wish everyone a spectacular day! (Ignore the rain and generate some positive energy!)

Good Morning Crystal and llinois,
It looks to be another soggy cold day. Where is the sun?
Crystal, have a great time with your daughter this weekend. Having a daughter is great, I know, I have 2.
Sheri, after not being in Sheridan for years, besides being out at your place last week, I was there yesterday for work.
Monica, I hope you can get everything worked out with Mike.
Christine, I hope you feel better.
Christina, are you coming to Pauls this Saturday?
Has anyone seen Connie or Kim?
I am working today, and have errands after. Then 3 days off. Hopefully, today isn't as heckic as the past 2.
Have a great dry, safe, and warm day.
Hugs, LISA

Good morning Crystal and IL family.
Crystal - One more day,, then celebrate with your daughter. YAY! I am happy for you.
Monica - so sorry to hear about your marriage troubles. You sure do keep quite busy with everything -family and work and school. I pray that it works out for you soon.
Dawn - soon this will be behind you and you will be in the healing phase and feeling great. Congrats on your years together with hubby. I'm sure it takes a lot of work to perserve (sp?) so long!
Georgie - how are you today??
Me - well, stayed in bed all last night. I was surprised that I was able to straighten out my right knee a lot more than I have been able to do since July. Not that I kept it that way, but I must be making some progress. A little at a time. Maybe that is why I don't notice it that much. YAY!
Friday is coming. Today is my payday. YAY!! I love it that we had 3 paydays this month.
Eileen, did you try to call me last night? I have my answering machine on and only answer once I know who the caller is. That is because I get too many solicitation calls and don't want to deal with that. Thinking about your offer though, you seem to have a full load in the auto or SUV. It may be too much for you and me.
Randy, hope your bowels are better today. Yep, I agree with Lisa, TMI. Perhaps a gentler way of saying it, WOW, I sure did go a lot! Take it from one who knows, I've had so many problems with my bowels during the years and that is something I have to be careful about. I had to have my rectal muscle cut and fissure repaired less than one year after my RNY. That was so painful and I had a hard time going for so long and spent a lot of time on the sitz bath. I thought he sewed me up! I felt like I was having a baby and it was stuck! LOL..
Wishing everyone a wonderful Thursday. Stay dry.
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.
Good morning Crystal and Illinois!
Crystal-the hiccups in the beginning (for me) were my full signal...now I think it's because the food it trying to go thru the band. You now have more in your band than I do. I was told that the gurgling noises will never go away. I feel like there is a little alien in me making those noises. Sitting at the table with my husband can be extremely funny when the gurgling gets loud. Have fun with your daughter this weekend!
Randy-glad to see you are posting. Now that you finally pooped you should start feeling even better.
Dawn-glad your surgery date has been moved up. Now things can get better for you too!
Lucy-glad you have slept in your bed again! Maybe that third shot is starting to kick in.
Not much on my agenda today...some laundry and the gym.....maybe I'll start cleaning house today...or not....
Have a great day everyone!

Hi everybody!,
I'm getting excited about Saturday and seeing all my great WLS friends! In addition, I ordered a very big piece of wood working equipment that will allow me to create things that are truly unique and unlike anything you've ever seen. It is a big investment at a time when we are completely broke, but Liz and I decided to take the plunge and take the chance. More on that later. In addition, I finish my certification for massage therapy in the next week and that is both exciting and scary. But change is in the air on so many levels and that always makes for interesting turns in my life.
I'm very excited to hear about Dawn's surgery being moved up. I know it means a lot to her and her family. My prayers are still with you for an uneventful surgery and a quick and peaceful recovery.
I'm off to purchase the pork shoulders for smoking. We will have some very scrumptious pulled pork for Saturday. Although I'm very disorganized and haven't been tracking it properly, many have written to tell me what they are brining, and it all sounds very very scrumptious (and healthy too!).
If anybody has trouble with finding my house, or has questions, feel free to PM me or call me at 847-778-1001. Other than when I'm in class, I answer that phone at all times.
See you Saturday!
Paul

Paul is graciously hosting an informal get together on Saturday. One of the many we try to have throughout the year. He is having pot-luck beginning at 1:00 pm at his house.
Paul and Liz are great people and wonderful hosts. It is always great fun to get together and meet our cyber-friends. Maybe you can join us?
