Charlotte Chat Time!!!



Recommended Posts

Everything is going to be late this year. I'll mail cards and packages tomorrow. I think things not working out as I'd planned was God's way of having me remember what we're celebrating and taking the emphasis away from the material aspect of it.

WOW There is so much going on with everyone!

I had a lump on my wrist also and it hurt like heck. It was a ganglion(SP)cyst. I had it removed and at the same time had carpal tunel surgery. I'm fine now, but I could do the dishes for 3 weeks.....OH NO.......

I have been on the predisone since Tuesday but I have not been able to take all 3 tabs every day, so that will extend my use. I am to tired right now to take it I really want to sleep tonight more than 4 hours! So tomorrow AM I will take it and runnnnnnnnn.........to get everything done. It it so wierd though I am coughing again!!!

Well I think I'm going to bed I'll just get up early and take the meds and finish everything.

Hang in there everyone.

Loretta called yesterday to say Merry Christmas. She sounds good. Got another fill, everything went perfect. She says she'll be meeting with us next time.

HOHOHO Love you guys, I am blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life...another God thing HUH....

Merry Christmas

Alright...Christmas is over and I am another year older. UGH!!!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We did it was busy as always but VERY nice. Curtis was so excited this year...it was so much fun.

How is everyone doing? Are we ready for a new year?

I posted a before and after pictures on the thread of before and after. Thought it would be nice to see the difference and I can honestly say it was good to do it because I can really see it now.

Oh side note here...gained 2 pounds this week. OOps....but I can say it was good. How bad is that....I can say I need a partial fill I can eat TOO much. See Dr. V on the 3rd so I will probably get some.

Ok...have to finish some clothes to fold and get ready for work tomorrow.

Everyone have a good night and I will "chat" tomorrow.

Kim, I don't think I'd get too worked up over 2 pounds :) I'm going to go look at your before and after pictures. Since I see you shrink before my eyes, I'm sure those pics are awesome!

Another year older? When was your birthday; and Happy Belated Birthday at that!

Christmas was kind of quiet, but really nice. Work is going to be very quiet this week, which is also nice!

Hi everyone...Oy Vey, we made it through Christmas. It was wonderful and loud and fun and exhausting. the surprise visit with my brother and family was perfect and made everything even better!

There is a bit of a stomach bug floating around the family. I got it first...Friday night felt kinda yucky, rumbly in the tummy (which doesn't help the erosion paranoia, right?) then Sat I got a low grade fever...100.6... and a bit of diarrhea. Sunday was fine, just tired. Now hubby and my sister have it. It isn't bad, just makes you feel yucky. Goes away pretty fast. Hubby's at work so it isn't that bad. I guess it hit me the hardest. My sister was able to sleep for 6 hours yesterday, something I would never get away with, so she's on the mand. Thank goodness there was no nausea or vomiting. Just lower intestinal upset. It's over now.

Other than that, fun times. Happy Birthday Kim! I promise, it just gets better as you get older. I'm gonna go see your before/after pics now.

(((HUGS))) everyone!!!

Oh I wasn't upset about the 2 pounds..I was actually that was all I gained. :) Actually got on the scale this morning and they were already gone. So no biggie there.

I turned 32 on Monday. Where does the time go? It seems to go faster each year.

We take Curtis to the Dr tomorrow for his follow up. This should be fun he is going to do a rectal exam...OH NO!!!! He sees an ENT on the 10th so this should take care of his ears. I hope.

Thanks for the kind words on the pictures...it has really made me see a difference. It has really made me look at what I have been doing the last few weeks and now I have to buckle down and get the rest of this weight off. I want to be a size 12 or at least a 14 by next June 06. I know I can do it. (Especially having you guys supporting me.)

Ok where is eveyrone else? I think Dianne is out of town... Melissa? Angie how are you feeling? Starr has just forgotten us. Sherrie? Jennifer? Magic? Come out Come out where ever you are.....

For those who weren't at our last lunch mark your calendars now for next month....For those of you up near Greensboro we are meeting towards north Charlotte so the drive want be as long. It's going to be Sat Jan 28th @ Fridays right off the exit at Harris Blvd. I think the exit is like 45..I know it's the 3rd exit after Concord Mills. :) I can get directions the closer it gets but I want everyone that can to make it....

Oh enough for one sitting...chat later.

My husband kept fussing about my user name being my actual name. As of now, I (Karen) will be known as Mrs Sabre in "honor" of my Honda Shadow Sabre motorcycle :)

I keep getting logged off; so my posts will be short until I can figure out why.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm heading to WV this weekend to Celebrate a belated Christmas with my folks. I'm ready to start the New Year!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
