Happy Wednesday; a big day for me.

 Good morning Judy and everyone...

Judy....Congratulations and Happy Surgiversary!!  7 years...wow that is awesome!!
Could you do water aerobics? That is much gentler on your joints. Also, you can do free weights while sitting in a chair. There are many exercises you could probably do on an exercise ball.I do free weights , the exercise ball and bands.  I can't walk as far as I did before I broke my hip....I am working on it though!! Good luck with what ever you decide to do.
YOU LOOK GREAT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!

I got all my lab work back. All my levels( including all Bariatric) are exactly where they need to be. I was concerned but had nothing to worry about. Still no diabetes back or high blood pressure. My cholesterol and triglycerides are great too!! Guess I am doing things right!! Now we just have to get my lungs cleared up!! And also quit grazing so I can lose this 20 pounds I put on over the last 3 years! 

Hoping to get to the pool after lunch....high today is only going to be 87.  The next few days will be in the mid to high 90s....YAY!!!!  POOL...POOL...POOL!! 

Wishing you all a really wonderful day!!  Many prayers being said for those in need.

Love and hugs to all....connie d

Yeah, the idea was to get in the pool when I moved down here, but it's so friggin' hot and humid down here, I'd have to get up at 8 a.m. to use the pool, because after that it's too hot to be outside (and I do mean too hot ... it's now nearly 2 p.m. and 94 degrees, feels like 105 ... I was out for awhile and just couldn't keep going, even going in and out of stores).

I really love getting in the pool. I need to find an indoor one ... be better for me because my asthma can't handle the pollen and the humidity down here.

Good afternoon everybody...wow, what a busy post...love it!!

Came home after this morning's route, did the usual meds/vitamins, coffee, did some laundry and planned to write out some bills but couldn't keep my eyes open.  Looked over at Danny(DH) and he was nodding while sitting in his recliner so off to bed we went.  Anyway, we slept 5 hours, feel refreshed and I've got my meatloaf ready to go into the oven,having summer squash and garlic mashed potatoes.  Then, I'll attempt the bill thing again,,,,ugh, hate that time of month!

Lots going on with everybody here on the OFF board and there's no way I can remember them all but some that come to mind are Grammylew, I pray you feel better soon!!  Connie, you sound SO much better & congrats on your good blood test report!!  Happy birthday Laureen, praying for you a safe/fun trip to visit daughters.  Nothing like being with our children, no matter how old they are.  Debbie, I'll "try" to not be jealous while you're relaxing and reading while lying next to the lake...lol.  You go have fun, you work hard and deserve it.  Monica, as always, you're one strong woman, one that many of us respect and are so proud of!!  Keep on keeping on. 

Ok, that's all I can remember.  Much love & lots of hugs to you all!!

Oops, I forgot to mention my Dr. appt. yesterday.  I wanted to share it with you all.

I saw an Endocrinologist for this RH crap. I asked his staff, prior to making the appt.(learned this wonderful lesson from our dear Monica) if this Dr. was experienced in dealing with WL patients and was told yes.  Man, did that lady know what she was talking about.  This man is a wealth of knowledge!!  My DH & I felt like we'd been to RNY school!!  Loved it.  Anyway, my RH problems are very common.  He did some blood work, examined me, listened to me, gave me some pointers and things to do and a prescription of 'Acarbose' to take 30 min.'s prior to each meal.  I started them last night before dinner...so we'll see.  I see light at the end of my tunnel.

Thought I would share.

Trying to figure out what you mean by "RH" ... the only RH I know about is RH factor in blood types. So what is this and what does it have to do with WLS? I looked up Acarbose and it sounds like a diabetes drug ... sounds like some nasty side effects if you have bowel issues (I have irritable bowel, or IBS, so I don't think I want to go there).

Anyway, please enlighten ... I feel like I'm in the dark.

Eileen

Sounds like reactive hypoglycemia to me.  Didn't know there was a med to take to prevent it.

I've been wrong before....

Candy

P.S.  I know you work evening shift and that always made me unsure of the day, but I checked the calendar and I think it's Wednesday.  Glad you started the thread anyhow....

Yeah, it's Wednesday, I'm confused ... don't know what day it is. Duh!

When my days off are split, I can never figure out the day ... I'm just draggin' today, got up from a half hour nap after being out part of the day and still feel like crap. Glad I don't have to work tonight.

Eileen,

Congratulations. Think how much those knees would ache if you hadn't lost so much weight. I hope you had a good day and had some good memories of the past SEVEN years.
 Annette

Oh yeah, I know ... and I wouldn't have been able to climb around the pyramids at Tulum with all the weight. I went out to lunch and came home with a whole bunch of leftovers and thought, "Isn't WLS wonderful? I get several meals out of one afternoon out."

Congrats to you Eileen!!! WOW!! 7 years ago already!!! Time sure has gone fast hasn't it? Was wondering if that "nurse" was name Carol? If it is I had her the last day I was there and she is/was a ***** for sure!!!! Nasty woman that has a heart of stone!!!! Glad that this was the best thing in the world you had done for yourself!!!! I agree!!! :-)

Hope that you feel better soon and can enjoy that pool there!!!!
