I didn't get this posted yesterday. I'm thinking and praying for you two today... if there are others please feel free to comment, or let me know, so I can add you. We're thinking of you today, Hawki14 and Slim-n-tn Just think... in 3 months it's christmas, and in 3 months we're skinnier and healthier :crying: Teri

Thank you for this reminder ... The best thing is getting off pills. I'm down one, hoping to get rid of at least one more :tongue2: teri

I have an AP, it's just what my dr thought was the best fit for me, from his experience. Teri

IM type 2 also. I was on byetta with some good control. I was told I'd bring home insulin for this period, with a sliding scale of doses. I've got a cold and am higher than I was. Not terribly. I just watch what I eat, and can get it down. This morning I was 124. Not terrible, not where I was before this blasted cold. That was in the mid 90's. I can't wait to feel better. Teri

I'm doing ok with the liquids, but I too haddifficulty getting any real food yesterday. I am up 2 pounds. How can that be? I'm eating good healthy low fat meals for what I can heat. Half to 3/4 cup per meal. High Protein, low fat. Maybe I'm going thru the TOM issues. I don't get it, haven't in about a year. I had a hysterectomy. Anyway, today's another day. I won't be able to go out walking today. So I'm not sure what activity I'll do today. It's raining hard today, and should the next few days. not one that likes to bring the kids out in the rain. My sugars are up again, but not nearly what they were pre op. I think it's the cold. Just have to work harder :tongue2: Teri

Well we only have one but I just wanted to wish them well, and say you're in my thoughts and prayers today mytime2008 Teri

Im so glad you all are my sisters/bro's. Take care, and I'll be back soon. I am having some difficulty getting much in today. I did manage some lunch, and some breakfast, but dinner hasn't happened. Not sure what's going on. But I did see K-Indy is having the same issue. I'm also quite full of air today. Lots of burping. Nothing coming with it. Well I think I'll get the boys ready for bed. Night.

I'm praying for you. TO my knowledge there is just one other having surgery today... hawki14. May your surgery go easily, and your healing be fast and painfree. Teri

I know that area. I'm near oneonta/cooperstown NY area. Teri

Deb, you're putting on weight, because you're building muscle. Did you take your measurements before your surgery? It's never to late. When you go thru things like this, measure, because from an experienced friend of mine locally, one week you'll see good weight loss, the next the inches catch up. She's been right with me. I'm stuck at 231, for 3 days now (i'm 9 days post op), and I measured. I've lost nearly 2 inches total this week alone. Teri

You probably (not a surgeon, and definitely not your surgeon) have stitches under your skin. I'm not a good candidate for the steri strips. I actually get skin ulcers from them. My port is just below my ribcage by about 3 fingers width. Looked like I had a third boob Thank God that's nearly gone. I'm wearing a size 16 w jeans today. Not much longer, as they are a little binding, but my bf wanted to see me in them. :crying: I've been in a 22W for so long, they feel good teri

I have a small fever. Not even what they normally would call a fever, but because I'm 1 week post op they are worried. They asked how I felt about the ER, or did I feel it could wait. I said I think it can wait. He said it may just be this blasted head cold I have. But that to be safe he wanted to check it out. I like they're so aggressive with that. But now I'm worried. My one incision (the one my son puked on the night I came home), is getting a little red. Irritated looking to be exact. It's not hot, maybe a little warmer than the others. I feel like crap, but that's I think the cold I have thanks to the twins. Oh they said that if it's infected worst it could be with my description is I might need antibiotics. Not my idea of fun, but not terrible. if you feel lead, can you please say a prayer for me. I'm nervous. teri

Oh yes it did. I had to pack it for about 6 weeks before it healed from the inside out. Turned out I had a staph infection. So of course when my incisions got red yesterday my mind went there. Mine were also glued on the exterior. But stitches under neath. Often times there is something with the actual thread that makes them not disolve. But nothing wrong with that. I've had it happen with my first csection, my laps (had 2 ex laps), and my shoulder surgery. I counted them up, and I've had like 10 surgeries. Teri

it's a slight skin infection. Have treatment orders from my surgeon. thanks teri

I had that happen with my csection in 2002. I freaked. LOL When the incision opened on my hysterectomy in 2007, I called like hey... got a little problem. :girl_hug: Anyway, i'm glad you're ok. Teri

Let's take aminute to think of... Brockbabe82 and Bella1962 Teri

I was home the same day. I was glad to be home in my own surroundings. I think except for when my little one puked on my tummy, where my incisions were, it was best for all at my house. I go today for a wound check. teri

The Protein helps burn off fat, as long as you don't get to much, and also if you don't get enough protein you loose your hair. I'm not ready to loose my hair. Today other than the one incision and my cold, I feel great. Teri

I am amazed. I'm glad it went so smoothly. Seriously that's my biggest fear was the fills. Surgery... ah I handle them well. The needles... UGH! teri

I only know that I have the "small one". Not sure about that. Will ask tomorrow. I just feel full all day today. I'm able to eat. I'm able to burp. I'm able to do most things. I just felt weird. Like I couldn't squeeze in another drop. My first fill is October 29th. My one incision (where they put the port) is getting redder, and is actually starting to look angry. I think I'm glad I have an early appt. My fever stays right around the 100.1 f mark this afternoon. I'm watching it. Drinking has no affect on it. I thought I might be getting dehydrated too, so I drank a good amount of liquid right after I posted last, and it didn't change. Well, it's nearly biggest looser time. I'm gonna watch that again this season, without wishing I was there :confused: I am not sure in my shape right now I'd stick it out, even for that kind of money. I'd probably tell them all off, and walk out. :wub: Just my style. Went out for a 2 mile walk after dinner. Which was delicious. :tt1: The dr said to go ahead and have it. I thought I should probably do liquids. He said no. So I did have it. I'm glad I did. Felt good to take such a long walk. Wasn't fast, but it was with resistance, pushing stroller and pulling a wagon (My oldest pulls the wagon). We came home with about 3 dollars in cans. Brandon enjoys it. Teri

I'm 7 days post op, and am full of bruises... I have 6 holes, plus the IV (mine kept blowing 4 total), and where they gave me a blood thinner. So I have a total of 10 big old bruises. they are quite normal my surgeon says. teri

I prefer most any whey over the soy. They don't smell so terrible. If Ican get it past my nose I can get it down. Not happily sometimes. Teri

DEBBIE< DEBBIE> DEBBIE!! ! RAH RAH RAH. You rock gf!

I am debating on asking a question, but I know you check in often (like me ) Janine. I hope it's just because i feel like crap, but I'm having an aweful problem getting anything in. Even Water. I just feel so full. teri

So far the highest it went is 100 even. I can't take tylenol (deathly allergic) and ibuprofen isn't really advised. So I'm just watching and waiting. teri
