Tuesday Roll Call
Hello everyone
I shoveled down an egg a little to fast and I'm feeling it now. See even two years later I have to remind myself how to eat correctly. I think I'm going to switch over to string cheese for breakfast. I'm getting sick of eggs.
When I went to see my doctor he mentioned a prescription he wants me to try, it's supposed to aid in weight loss. He said it's completely natural...it's an enzyme that is found in the body. It's so safe I could use it forever if I wanted to. It was initially made for diabetics but they found and interesting side effect....weight loss. Well I told him I would call my surgeon's office and make sure it's safe to take with my band and I also wanted to do some of my own research. My surgeon's nurse got back to me with the go ahead. I did my research every thing seems safe...I just have to make sure I eat within an hour of taking the medicine because my blood sugar could go to low. I am still not sure if I want to take it. On one hand I have been losing weight just fine without medicine...on the other hand why not accept a little help. I have been conditioned to think that weight loss medicine is BAD!!! But this is safe and natural and I could take it forever. The doctor was explaining how some people don't have enough of the hormone that tells us to stop eating. This is supposed to help with that. He also told me that within the next two years they will have a blood test to measure that hormone. Won't it be nice to have proof that our struggle with weight isn't weakness or gluttony. I am leaning towards trying it out. What the heck...what do I have to lose. Oh in case you want to look it up for your self it's called Byetta.
Have a great day. Bye

Hi Crystal. I think you are doing just fine with your own efforts on weight loss. But, if it helps - why not give it a try. As long as there are no ill effects!
I saw my doc - Guske yesterday and he is happy with my weight loss and success. He did ask about exercise and I told him how much I was doing. He was happy with that as well.
I am so close to getting out of the 200's and hope to get there next week. I will focus on a lot of fish and vegetables this week. I just love my DS!!! It is very forgiving as well. I've had my falls with the evil carbs which slowed down my weight loss - but at least I am still losing! I am focusing in on eating the healthy DS lifestyle - I do love it. No more vomiting, no more low blood sugar crashes, etc....
I am wearing smaller clothes and now working on getting rid of my muffin top. Pool season is coming and I want to wear my bikkinis this summer. I don't care that I am older. I am living my life and trying to make up for lost time. Ha Ha!!
Wishing everyone a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Lucy

Good Morning Illinois,
Crystal, the Byetta sounds interesting. Maybe I will try it as well.
Lucy, I hope you will be able to wear those bikinis this summer. I know you enjoyed them the summer you did.
I am at work, no clients as of yet. We were super busy yesterday, so if it is a bit slower today, it won't bother me at all.
Even with it being cold, at least the sun is out and the sky is blue.
Nancy, here is hoping for you to get a new surgery date quickly.
Hubert is back to work. H said he was tired yesterday when he got home, but it was ok. Thank you for all your concern over the last few weeks.
Stay safe and warm,
Huggers,

Quick fly-by for me. Work is SUPER busy as we purchased a new division and although we had warning, we had no data entry and such before so things are nuts. Since more family is here, I am about to tear my hair out dealing with them and the attitudes. UGGGGGHHHH!
Love you all and thanks for the support!
Everyone have an awesome day!

Evening Everyone!
Another day, another dollar or something to that effect. We were busy today and I had some challenging situations to deal with. I'm glad the day is over. I dislike the questions in which I have no answers. I dont like to leave customers hanging. Right now I am trying to find labels that we print for General Motors and the item number is from 2001 and does not come up in our sysstem. It is creative time. I want to be able to answer questions right away and that is not always possible.
Then on the flip side are the customers that call in and ask for ink for their printer. When you ask if they have a model number of the machine it is for? they will tell you no. Do they have and item number? No. Have you ordered it recently? No. Ok, folks. I need some clues. I am not a magician and cannot just magically poof up ink that will work in the machine that is in your office. The guy today that was looking for printer ink after about 15 minutes, I got him to tell me it was actually for a copier BIG DIFFERENCE. And he walked a few steps over to the machine and got me a model number! How hard was that?
If he had done that 15 minutes earlier we both would have been less frustrated.
It is almost as good as the people that call up to place an order, start giving you item numbers and they havent even given you a name or account number.
Uhm my esp doesnt always work folks.
I guess I am a miracle worker that to customers they think it is part of my job. I am so glad they think we are so talented. Some of them dont even know their address or zip code.
Everyone have a great day. If you want to entertain yourself, you can always come sit with me at work! You would be amazed at who they hire to do some of the jobs out there!

I guess that's one good thing about my job. I almost never have to talk to a customer. The only time I get the call is if no one else is able to help them or answer their questions. When I am able to help them they are so grateful that I hardly ever have to deal with mean customers. They are usually thanking me. So you helped me see one good thing about my job....hahaha
