Good Morning Illinois people:

Wednesday already. December 2nd. In a little over a month I will be heading to the hospital for my RNY surgery. It's hard to believe.

Just wanted to say I am a lurker....I do read this everyday when I get in the office with my morning cup of coffee. I love hearing all your stories, etc. Sometimes I post sometimes I don't. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers everyday though.

Thanks for your support.....everyday.

No judgement on lurkers. My prayer for them, which does not include you is that they get enough information to feel comfortable joining the circle. You are not included as a lurker because you have joined. When I see a roll call where three have posted and twenty have read I know there are a lot of folks hurting that need to join the circle. I have been a member here for years but only a year ago did insurance begin to swing where it was reasonable for me to participate and still since insurance as well as doctors had rejected me in the past I worried that I would not be successful in getting to the post op side.

So you have been forgiven?

Hello everyone!!

I'm off work today and I slept in a bit, which felt really good. Being back at work sometimes wipes me out for the day, and I usually end up falling asleep on the couch after dinner. I really do think the healing process is coming along well for me now. I still don't have much of an appetite but I do hope that starts to change now that I'm not doing purees anymore...yeah!! I can't believe it's been two weeks since I came home from the hospital!

I really do hope that our recent surgeries have gone well as I've been thinking about them. I'm also hoping that everyone is doing well. Have a great day everyone!

I am so surprised in that the longer out I go the less I want to eat. I am RNY so may be different. I see others eating what at one time would have been a small portion for me and wonder how they can eat so much. On Sunday at 2pm I sat at a table with a dozen or so folks who cook and serve the meals at Willow who all had "normal" plates and I pulled from my pocket a baggie with half a piece of leftover french toast cut into small squares and two one inch by one half inch by one eighth inch pieces of Jarlsburg and wondered if I would be able to fini****

Hi everyone!

It's starting to feel like winter--yeah!! That's why I'm still here and not in a retirement village somewhere. I like winter and sweaters and mittens. Finished a swirly scarf today and just had to wear it. Food is fine and of course I could be exercising more--one of these days it will happen.

I took an extra walk in the halls today and supervised our super putting up the lobby tree.

I think I will still get in 9 on the Wii.

I'm a lurker - sorry. I don't have internet at home but I lurk every day while I'm at work but don't want to get zinged for it so keep posting to a minimum. I'm at the library now so can post. Love reading the IL thread because you all are great - supportive to each other and no flaming and fighting - very refreshing and upbeat. Keep up the great work all of you and best wishes to those with recent surgeries.
