Today we have someone coming fromm Trosa to look at our backyard and give us an estimate for clearing it out. Right now it is a jungle! Then we go to the Y for exercise.

We live in the triangle and it has been stormy and windy but doesn't seem to be any severe damage. Been hearing accounts of the eastern part of the state. Hope you are all well and getting through this storm!

Sorry I've been MIA this week.  I started my job this past Monday and have been in training all week.  Only 4 more weeks of training to go!  It's going well though.  I'm enjoying the adult interaction during the day.  It sure beats talking to my cats!

Hope you are all safe and well during the storm!

Glad you made it through surgery okay! You're well on your way now! Keep us posted!

Brainfart about the coffee. I've done that. Or more likely, I'll put the pot on but not right and it'll spill all over. No use crying over spilled milk but, hey, that's your morning COFFEE for crying out loud. That I can cry about. lol

Working today and am taking my lunch break. I have to get in my OH jones and list all my foods today. My friends were playing with the internet at home so I didn't have any last night. Couldn't log on and almost went through withdrawals. 

I'll be thinking of all y'all down east today and tomorrow. I hope you make it through the hurricane intact.

Becca,

Congratulations on your successful surgery. Be sure to follow your Dr's instructions re: hydration, protein and supplement intake. Also be sure to walk a few minutes every hour. It will help the gas move through your system as well as help safeguard you against developing a blood clot. The most common reason that people are readmitted to the hospital after WLS is dehydration, so be sure that you are getting in those fluids. I'm not sure of the regimen that your Dr prescribed. I know that my program had us taking 2 ounces of liquid protein at the top of each hour and 2 more ounces of fluid at each 1/4 hour. This really helped us get in that fluid and the protein. 

Wising you all the best as you continue your journey,
