Good Morning, Its Tuesday at 3AM WHAT'S NEW!
Good Morning Carla and Everyone. I am contemplating calling my Surgeon's office this morning. Yesterday I had two episodes of terrible stomach pain after eating and that full, bloated feeling. I drank some warm water and that seemed to ease the pain and it went away after about 10 minutes. Is this a stricture? I eat slowly, chew my food to mush and don't drink while eating. This happened one day last week also. I kept track of what it was that I ate all three times this happened so that I can tell the nurse. I'm 5 months out and have had no other problems such as dumping, etc. I'll let you know what she has to tell me. I'm scared to eat anything solid this morning.
Hugs,
Sandy

Carla, I can't believe you are up so early. I like my sleep too much. I had my bariatric event last saturday. It was fun. Chef Dave Fouts was a blast! We had a small group and we learned a lot. This week my DH and I are tiling our kitchen floor. Yikes! Have a great day everyone. Mona

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Well, it cooled off considerably today ... 49 degres and gloomy
one side, kinda sunny the other side. I slept really late (10 a.m.)
... oh, there goes my Weather Channel desktop icon, thundering
on me. When it does this in the middle of the night, sometimes
it wakes me up. I wasn't going to sleep that late ... I was going
to get up and go out to Walgreens and Hallmark ... but oh well,
I was lazy again. I went to Walgreens after my bone density
scan yesterday and forgot two things. Now I have to stop by
there today on the way into work.
My bone scan was fine, very little change from two years ago.
I was a little worried when the nurse asked me if either parent
had broken a hip. I said no, but my dad had two hip replacements
before he died of cancer. She said that didn't matter, just
fractures. But she said she asked that because it wasn't on
the form. Everything was fine and then she gave me some
Citracal samples. She also told me carbonation leached
calcium from the bones. Didn't know that ... also didn't know
caffeine did the same thing. I have my share of both daily, but
I think I will start cutting out the daily Diet Coke after I finish what
I have in the house. It will save me some money, too. I only have
one a day, but still, it's probably not good for me. The nurse said
the carbonation is actually worse than the caffeine. She did
applaud me for taking my calcium and Vitamin D and my vitamins
daily, so I'm on track for all that.
I've decided I don't like the Tuesday-Saturday schedule and I've
only done for a couple of weeks ... I miss my Saturdays off. I
got a whole lot more rest on Saturdays than I do on Sunday-
Monday. Or at least I did this week with going out on Sunday.
Maybe it will be different next week. The good thing about it
is I will be able to string some long weekends and not use up
vacation time so quickly.
Well, I go back to work today. Cleaning lady comes this evening,
and boy does the house need it ... she hasn't been here for
a month because she wasn't here when I was on vacation, then
she skipped last week because she had just moved herself and
was busy. So now it's been a month. Once my pay is cut, I'll go
to having her come just once a month anyway to cut back.
Hope everything went well with Diane's surgery. I'm going to
check back with Brenda this afternoon before I go to work
(if I remember).
Have a good day.
