Topic: "EXPERTS"
OK, Maybe I am being a little over excited, but this is just how am I feeling today I guess. But, has anyone encountered the person who all of a sudden becomes a weight loss surgery expert when they find out you are having surgery? And the worst part is half of the stuff they tell you is negative!!!!! Why do people do this??? All they want to tell me about is so and so gained all of her or his weight back.. Yeah and, that was them. HELLO! I am me. Just give me a little bit of support and stop assumimg I am going to fail! Darn!
OK, I feel better, thanks for listening!!!!

Topic: Nutritionist Recommendations
Hey Everyone,
I need to see a good nutritionist in the Cary/Raleigh, North Carolina area that is familiar with the lap band surgery. I am beginning to think I should I have gotten the sleeve done instead, but I am trying every way possible to give this a go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Well, off to my first day of work. I didn't sleep at all last night. I keep washing out of jobs and I am hoping I won't on this one. I leave at 6:30am and return at around 8:30pm. Not sure about this. Next week is an overnight. Might be fun.... I hope. Then nothing until October. I have a meeting with my VR Councelor soon so maybe she can help me find something better.
Have a good day all.

Kelly I hope you re not planning on packing a whole lot.
I packed underwear, wore the same clothes out that I wore in (make sure they are loose cuz you will probably have some swelling), slippers, socks, my cellphone, flushable wet wipes, and lip balm......... also have a list of your meds on hand in case they ask what you are taking - include any over the counter stuff you take on a daily basis.
You should use the gowns they give you at the hospital because you might have some leakage and you do not want that mess getting on your clothes. Things like a laptop or magazines/books wont be needed because you will most likely either be sleeping or up walking around.
Be sure you have a solid pillow for the drive home so you can put it over the surgical site for those inevitable bumps the car is gunna hit, helps with coughing too.
If I think of anything else I will let you know......

Hi shoutjoy-today is the last day of my 2 week liquid diet thank goodness and tomorrow is my surgery day thank goodness. I am so ready to get the surgery behind me so I can quit being anxious about it. It's scary but hopefully will be worth it in the end! Can't wait til I can post I have lost 100 lbs!
So I've got to wash some clothes today & get a bag ready to go to the hospital in the am.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Thinking also of all those lost on 9/11 10 years ago.

Hi all,
This is the day of pondering the blessings we have and share with others. I hope you take the time to reflect.
Today we take mom in law to church. Then a relaxing day with hubby. I only have one day with him the next two weeks. Hallmark will be taking me through my first days of work. It will be a very long day tomorrow. I leave the house at 6:30am and get home maybe around 7:30pm.
I finally got a letter from Voc. Rehab. saying I qualify for services. I am hoping they can help me get a great job that will be rewarding.
Maybe I will do a little study today, not sure.
