Topic: RE: Saturday Roll Call
I just returned from Greenville. Met up with some friends for the Walk from Obesity. It's a beautiful day outside! Had a great time with great people! Going to get some shopping done this afternoon and maybe fit in a little time for a nap...

Hi all,
Today I send hubby to work at noon so I will be alone for the rest of the day. I may hang out at the mall and do some walking. Also, I may try to take my books and puter over to Starbucks and study. I need to get out of the house for awhile.

Topic: Introducing Myself
Hello everyone,
I'm Shannon and I'm new here. I have just begun the process of this gastric bypass journey. I went to an information seminar last month and I decided that the RNY is the right option for me. I'm currently in the process of getting all my "homework" items done. I had an RMR done last week. I have my dietician, fitness, cardiac clearance and psych consults next week. I have an endoscopy on Oct. 28th and then hopefully I can get approval and get a surgery date!
I'm married with four children and I work night shift in a hospital while I'm going to nursing school.
I look forward to getting to know all of you and learning more about what's to come.
Shannon

SOrry I have been MIA, but have been busy.
My mom in law went in to have surgery on her lungs this past monday and is doing well, they took 1/3 of a lobe due to cancer. But other than that she is doing great.
I should be going back to work soon, I made a boo boo on my jobs profile and that is the reason I have not heard a peep, but it will be fixed on Monday.
I am loving this weather, seeing the leaves starting to change lets me know that the season for baking is upon us. I have been good though- I made cookies the other night and have not touched a single one, I didn't even lick the bowl (LOL).
Will try to check back in more often.

I'm just glad it's Friday!! I'm ready for this week to be over. Nothing other than work planned today. But tomorrow morning I will be in Greenville for the Walk from Obesity! I'm looking forward to walking with some really great friends :)
Topic: RE: Is it possible to drink too much water?
I would definitly just take things slow. As long as you are sip sip sipping and not gulping. It takes some time for the internal incisions to heal and you don't want to put any stress on the new connections. Fluid is a good thing though. By the way Dr Torquati has been great with me :)
Good luck

Topic: Is it possible to drink too much water?
Happy Friday! My gastric bypass was Monday and now here I am at home, trying to be sure I do everything right. Can anyone tell me if its ok to drink MORE fluids than what was suggested? I was so focused on making sure I met the minimum requirements that I never expected I could exceed them! I love water and as it stands, I can drink double what they have asked me to without any pain. Is that ok?

Hi all,
Well I didn't get everything done but I am happy for what I did get done yesterday. Today is a day I am going to devote to study if I can get my problem fixed. I was working in Word to make a web site and forgot to put the title above the table. Now, I can't figure out how to move the table down to put the title above it. I turned in my skills test way early so all I have to do is take a quiz. I am wondering if my goal to get this all done by months end is realistic. I may have to extend that goal. Anyway, that's it for me.
