Hey guys.

Ok, the shrink's office called me this morning, they faxed the stuff to Dr B!!! HOOOORAAY!

Oh and I am on the meds for the H Pylori. Oh MY GOD!!! can we say nasty!!!!???

I have this horrible aftertaste in my mouth and I have to take 4 pills in the am and 4 in the pm. Im gonna have a raging yeast infection from all the antibiotics. (TMI, yea.. but..)

So anyone have any tips on preventing yeast infection from antibiotic overload?

[Dragonwillow 0]

I ended up at urgent care my yeast infection was so bad after the hpylori meds. I say about 2-3 days before the end of the antibiotics start yeast infection treatment. Eat lots of yogurt.

Melissa -

That was funny about your oldest trying to give Karah up for adoption.

My brother whose 38 and I had a hate relationship growing up, we are very close now. I beleive my brother's, I have five of them, would have paid to give me away when I was young. They were all in their teens when I was born and we've never been close. One brother used to say he was going to get custody of me if anything happened to our mom. Well, she died three years ago and he asked if he could have custody. It's rather funny, but we hardly talk. So Sad.

I'll take Karah if she can Deal with CHloe. Does Karah talk alot, chloe runs circles around me and I though I talked alot.

Ok so we had a small support group meeting but it was very good. I even learned things... I was able to answer alot of questions for pre-op patients. I love it because I know I was the same way. Let me tell you there are alot more people out there that have then band then on here. If we had them all were we would have to rent a place each month to get together. hehe...

Melissa - how funny my sister and I are 5 years apart and couldn't stand each other growing up. However now no one can have her, we are the closest anyone could ever be. We talk 2 - 5 times a day every day...She is my best friend well next to my band. :scared:

Karen girl I am so proud of you...do us proud!!!

Jennifer how is that back doing?

Dianne you go with your shirt...I too love that feeling. It's great I love being a loser. :clap2:

Wavy - listen to Melissa I remeber how bad it was for her. She want steer you wrong on this one.

Ok so I am painting Curtis' room tonight, my mom came over to help. I was trying to keep Curtis on his bed because he wanted to "help" us. Well he came over to give me a kiss and laid right on the wet wall. Yes I had an imprint of my child on his wall. It's was a pain the you know what to get rid of it.

Hey folks, when does the belly bloating go down? I'm doing great, but look like I'm 5 months pregnant! Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever!

[vericks 1]

The bloating went down about the third week for me, but it could be different for everyone. Glad you are doing so well. :cheer2: :cheer2:

I am starting to get MO (as my grandaughter says) hungry, can't wait for the first fill.

Karen,

I think I'm still bloated, there's gotta be some explaination. I'm 3 months post op. I hope your bloat goes soon. How's the walking?

Kim - My back is there. I can send you a private message if you want to know more. I meant to ask how your meeting went. Did you hire the cma yet? I was looking into the job description on gaston college, totally not for me. THey do phlebotomy. I better stick with business jobs. Paper pushing.

I'm so ready for the weekend, do I really need to work tomorrow and Friday? I was off today for a medical procedure that went very stressfuly, but not surgery related. Next week DH is having a medical procedure so I'll be off wednesday again.

Daughter is freed for the summer, any takers? Just kidding, I'm a hoverer and I don't let her out of my sight.

I hope all is well with the rest of you.

Jennifer

Karen girl you are doing good...You are for sure still bloated...I think it took a week for me. A lot of walking...

Jennifer feel free to pm me. If there is anything I can do to help I will be more then happy to. No CMA yet but we are hiring alot of people...So everyone READ this...if you think you would be interested we have several jobs open!!!! Send us your resume!!!! The meeting was small but it's a start....I didn't expect anyone so I was surprised when there were a few there. I was happy!!!!

Ok so I am VERY sick...these Iron pills are KILLING me. You don't want to know where I am at right now typing this. Really...I have spent over 1/2 my day there. I don't know if it's a stomach bug or what....but I am bad off. I am running a fever now and I am going to bed as soon as I can get done here. Say a little prayer for that it's gone when I get up in the morning. I feel horrible!!!!

Good Night!!!

[sunsett 2]

Oh Kim feel better. You'll have to fill me in on what types of jobs are opening. I worked in quite a few differen't Dr.s offices over the years.

We are baby sitting my friends dog for 6 days. She just celebrated her 1 yr anniversary of when they were going to put her to sleep. Lucy is not to sure about her. But so far so good, it's only been a half hour everyone is taking a nap right now. PLEASE PRAY THAT SHE STAYS HEALTHY WHILE WITH US!! We have her because thier 22 yr old niece just died from lukemia and they have to go up for the memorial service.

Night night

[Mrs Sabre 1]

OK, you'll all think I'm nuts, but I'm ready to go back to work. If I'm going to sit on my butt, I might as well get paid for it and not use my PTO.

I continue to do great, and have no complaints! I'm excited about the future, and making my new found friend work for me!

[wavydaby 1]

PTO??? What? you didnt use STD?

Please tell me you werent denied for STD

[wavydaby 1]

BTW Karen, did you stay overnight or when did you get to come home?

[jttaurus 0]

Karen - I have a little girl who can keep you company while you sit down.

You need this rest, it's true. I haven't been to work since tuesday.

This morning I was rough from the procedure, so I figured I needed to give my body a day of rest. I could get used to this, however, I'd have to learn the daytime tv schedule.

Wavy - Good Luck with STD, Dr B is tough - I only got 3 weeks for RNY while most people get 6-8 weeks. I was very tired for the first 8 weeks too. Now, I'm fine. Except my back.

How's everyone else? Kim I hope your doing better. Do you work Fridays? I think it would be cool working for a dr, I just don't want to touch anyone's bodies for any reason. I've seen enough of my dr for a lifetime in the past 5 days. I'm better now. Just working on getting my back fixed up next. I sure don't want surgery for that.

Off to bed. Gotta get up early for work. Does it ever get easier??

Jennifer :omg:

[PhotoNut 7]

I'm going to be in Asheville soon! *grins*

But I won't be able to visit! It's going to drive me nuts to know my adopted NC sisters are there and I won't be able to see ya! I'll be in Knoxville a few days and talked my mom in to running over to tour the Biltmore Estates. Woot! I haven't seen them in years and I just LOVE that place.

Maybe if I let you know what day we'll be there you could all stand at the Biltmore entrance with signs that say stuff like Welcome P'Nut and her mom! Or Woohooo Susan! Welcome to NC! LOL! My mom would freak! LOL!

[gordonfamily3 0]

Hey keep us posted you just never know. I have a sister in law that lives like an hour from there so I could go an visit her. Then happen to go to Biltmore. I also have an aunt in Maryville, TN just beside Knoxville so next time you are there let me know and maybe I can make a visit there. I love meeting banded people!!!!

Ok so I am finally better!!!! I think it was a combo of the Iron pill and a virus. Go figure..I am just glad it's gone. I did loss 4 pounds in one day..I guess you could say I had a lot poop in me. hehe....

Karen how does it go? One more week of liquids and you start working in mushies. Yeah!!!! I am so proud of you...you are doing great.

Wavy - I used STD because w/ Wachovia if you are written out for 8 consective days including weekends you can use your STD. I did and was approved for 2 weeks. So depending on the doc and if you tell them I am sure they will work with you. That is what I did.

How is everyone else? Kathy, Jennifer, Dianne, Melissa, Angie, Loretta, Vickie? I know I am missing others so chime on in...

We have a busy weekend...tomorrow swim lessons and finish Curtis' room then I got ticket to Tim and Faith concert tomorrow night!!! Sunday we are going to Jay Jay the plane and to a birthday party...thank goodness I have monday's off...I need them to re-coup.
