sending love and light to all on this board

Just wanted to update everyone I am still A Lady In Waiting as my angel Giner calls me . I just finished up 12 days of working . Doing ok just very tired at end of the day after standing 5 hours each day. I finally started the new insulin after waiting two weeks for approval but I would rather pay 41 dollars instead of 250 per month. I am having a little bit of nausea with it but it is bearable. My BP is doing great no side effects with the BP meds. I am scheduled to go back to the WLS on September 5th so by then I hope sugar and BP will be in acceptable range. I have questioned myself about the surgery many times just standing at my job feeding many people. As you can imagine I see all types all sizes. At this point I know in my heart I am making the right choice. I have co morbiditys that are life threthening and I love life and want to continue enjoying what God has given me. So I will continue to strive towards a surgery day. Weigh****chers is still going good but not loosing like I did at first all the more reason for surgery but I do like the flex plan very much. I am off today and tomorrow sooo today I plan on sitting alot LOL and playing my new pc game. Fixed a nice WW breakfast and now just taking it easy. Annie

Good Morning Sweet Annie! Soo glad you got a much needed day off. Glad you are able to get that new insulin at such a discounted rate. It's not free..but if it does the trick..go for it. You will have to sit us down sometime and tell us all the stories you have of people grabbing for the food samples...human nature is funny huh? Well, I'd better get going...I have my older son visiting..so we got a morning of shopping ahead of us..don't want to shop in the afternoon in Chandler, AZ..too hot!!! take care! Ginger

Hi Ginger, Oh boy do I have stories! In fact while standing I get to look at all kinds of people and have relized there really are tons of obese people out there. Just last week I was giving out samples of deli pizza and yes it really is as good as dominoes if not better. I had this overweight woman come for a sample and I could just see how excited she was to have this pizza this is fine and helps sell the product but my goodness she returned to my table 4 times LOL I would never do that no matter how much I loved the stuff I would of been to embarrassed . We even have people who will lift the lid off your skillet and start eatting if you are away from your table so we have to watch our stations very close. Hope you have a great time with your son this week. As for the heat maybe finding a pool would be good. We were going boating tomorrow but I am just to tired and want to be home with my animals. Annie

Annie, I just wanted to say I enjoy reading your posts so much. You are an inspiration to me. I'm amazed at how well you have been able to stick to this, despite all the ups and downs. Good for you! I feel the same way about life. I LOVE IT! I think there is a misconception out there that MO's are miserable all the time. I'm only miserable when I let myself be. Hang in there, you'll be on the losing side in no time. Julie in WA (Having lap RNY next monday!!! )
