Good Morning!

Nothing new to update really.. I was just thinking about all of you on this board this morning and thought Id say good morning!! Ive been up for 4 hours now.. Ive cleaned my house, planned out dinner, drank my protein shake, and did a mile on the treadmill already!! WOW, the energy is incredible! Hope all of you have a wonderful and active day today.. Amber

Morning Amber, It's an early morning for me too, but I've not been near as energetic as you! Wow! I spent all my energy yesterday. Today's going to be a quiet one if I can manage it. Only going for a walk with the dog sometime this morning Myra

WOW! Sounds like you are doing wonderful! Im so happy for you. Just remember to take things slow and easy! You will be up and running soon enough! You will be amazed when you see how much the scale moves! For me things have finally started to get better. I have had to deal with low blood sugar and low blood pressure for almost a month now.. that has been the cause of this horrible nausea! Now Im learning to deal with it all. My surgeon had to give me a new diet and eating instructions to deal with the low blood sugar after I passed out for the 3rd time.. Hitting the floor the last time scared the crap out of me and bruised me up pretty good.. Thankfully the new instructions have pretty much taken care of the problem! I didnt know you had a parrot! We used to have a quaker parrot but he passed away about a year ago.. I love birds!! But Im not home enough to give them the love and attention they need anymore.. My lovely neighbor taught our parrot to say "Amber has a big butt" while I was on vacation a few years back.. boy did that get old fast.. Seems like thats all the bird wanted to say for a few months.. Ohh I miss my bird now!! Anyways.. your doing great!! Good luck on your appt and make sure you let us know how it goes.. The g-tube coming out is a breeze!! Just feels a little weird! Amber

Good morning Amber and everybody! Just the typical day here at work so far. I can't wait to feel energetic again like all of you posties! I feel like I could just sleep all day, and all night too! I am doing better with my Cpap machine (finally!!). Actually kept it on for 5 hours last night before I threw the mask to the floor! One tidbit of good news... I FINALLY got my letter AND the reports from my PCP last night!!! His "one week" turned into nearly FOUR weeks, but I finally have it!! Faxed it out already this morning. Going to send overnight via UPS as well. Everyone keep their fingers crossed this is good enough for Cigna this time and I can finally get approved for WLS! Everyone have a Wonderful Wenesday! Happy Hump Day! Huggs, Ruth

Good morning everybody!! I am sooooo tired this morning. I had my Cpap machine set-up.. but fell asleep...forgetting that I didn't actually have the mask on..anyways, I woke up at 3:00 am holding the mask in my hand. I don't think it's suppose to work that way..do you??? You know, when I first got my machine (in June) I was so closterphobic and it was just too weird..I agree with Ruth here...it does tend to get easier. I still long for the day that I can use that puppy for a very expensive door stop!! Another thing I agree with my "Twinee" Ruth.....I soooo look forward to feeling energetic again..sometimes I just walk around in a daze..not much to be too excited about. Heres to a great hump-day! I'll be sending out "get-your-surgery-approved" and "get- your- surgery -date -today" VIBES to everyone out there that needs it!! Have a great one! Virginia

Hey Virginia, Speaking of c-paps... I have a funny story that happened to me last week. I am always dreaming of eating food that I shouldn't be eating. Sometimes it even wakes me up. In the dream I know that I shouldn't have just eaten that and I know I just don't eat it. (you know all the good stuff) Well, this dream DID wake me up, and I awoke to find one of the little nasal pillows from the mask (still attached) in my mouth, not just that, but I was chewing on it!! I was startled at first, but then I laughed. My sis said if I ever wake up missing a pillow, I know where it went! Steff

GOOD MORNING MY SMO FAMILY I HAVE BEEN UP FOR A COUPLE HOURS AND COULD DEF GO BACK TO I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY LOVE CANDY
