I saw Dr. Yoo in the Duke Raleigh office. He gave me his card and told me to email him with any questions I had. I lost it :-( I thought I would see if anyone has it before I call his office. Thanks!

Glad to hear that you are home and well.

When we had our surgeries at Duke and they have us use 2 ounce medicine cups. You use 4 cups an hour, 1 for protein and the other 3 for fluids. We would have the protein at the top of the hour and fluids at the quarter, half and three quarter hour. We would do this every hour we were awake. We would also make sure to get up and walk once an hour to keep the blood pumping and reduce the incidence of DVTs.

Wishing you all the best on your journey,

My husband and I both had our surgeries done at Duke in Durham at Durham Regional Hospital. I now use Duke Raleigh because it is much closer to home and because I like the smaller, intimate program that they have in Raleigh. Both programs are robust, providing highly skilled surgeons, as well as Psych and Registered Dieticians to support the programs.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

Sorry you aren't getting enough hours at Hallmark. Bummer. Are you looking for full time work? I've been meaning to ask you what subject your school work is related to. Congrats on getting your VR counselor appointment. I've never been to one of those. Sounds very interesting!


Today I have my morning walk, then gym this afternoon. I'm down another pound this morning and I'm SO Happy about that! It feels great to be dropping weight after being stuck at one size for about 4 weeks. Other than that I'm just waiting for Friday to order my little girl's Halloween/birthday party costume.

Topic: Terrific Tuesday Roll Call
Hi all,

Had a wonderful weekend with hubby.  I am so blessed to have a great hubby.  Today is my finally long awaited appointment with my VR counselor.  Hopefully, I will have some hope after about job situations.  It's not that I don't like Hallmark, it isn't enough hours.  But, it is better than nothing. Did not get any studying done.  I picked up the books and looked at them. Haha, that's it. Oh  my...

What are you up to?


Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Topic: Hanes sale - for those needing new clothing
The Hanes (yard sale) will be at the Weeks Plant in Winston salem on Saturday. For those of you needing new clothing and undergarments  this is a great sale.. I plan on going as I need bloomers that wont fall down when I walk. Prices change every year but they are really good for new hanes items. For example Bali Playtex hanes bras usually sale for $2 or $3.   Underwear like 50 cents a piece.
For more information  do a web search on Hanes United Way sale Oct 1.  It should pull up the information or look up  the United Way of Forsyth County.
I go every year. But this year I really need to go. I drive almost 2 hours to get there.  I must warn you.. if you go you want to go early as items get picked through.  I am also taking a cart with wheels.  I plan to do some Christmas shopping as well. They usually have nice clothing , jackets and polo shirts fo a couple of dollars.
Just wanted to let you know.
