OMG! I just saw the funniest thing ever! We were sent an email at work to prevent H1N1... blah blah blah! But we were given a website to watch on "how to cough, sneeze properly". Sooo funny!

Why Don't We Do It In Our Sleeves?

We got one of those types of email too. We were told to sneeze in the sleeve, the elbow part.

Hi Everybody!

Ebony - I hope you are feeling better!

Fanny - I wish I lived close enough to help you pack! I hope everything goes well! :tongue2:

Glouc - Happy Tuesday!

PJTP: I left work early. I am not feeling very well. Hopefully with some rest I can be good for my trip tomorrow. It was 109 in Phoenix yesterday! This morning it was 49 here in the DC Metro area!

It is warm here, but supposed to get down to 55 tonight! I am not sure if I am ready for that yet or not.

Irene, you are right, mine wasn't quite like yours!

BBK, you are safe here, we have got your back!

Ebony and Colorado Chick: I hope y'all feel better soon. I am STILL fighting it.

PJTP: Being sick has helped me appreciate my band more than ever.

I returned to the doctor on Monday afternoon after being on tamiflu and zithromax for 5 days. I still felt like someone was sitting on my chest, but my fever was gone. They did a chest x-ray and it seems that I had pneumonia on top of having the flu. I am asthmatic, so my lungs are weak. If I still had the 90 lbs on me I would have certainly been in the hospital. I am also fortunate that my doc put me on the zithromax last week, as a precaution, or it would have been much worse. So....Monday, I got a steroid shot, 9 days of oral steroids and 5 more days of zithromax. Dang, I didn't know you could take that crap for 10 days! Jeez I hope the steroids don't make me gain:scared2:.

Oh, and apologies to my friends at the homeless thread who may see a similar post if I update there later.

Wow! I am sorry you have been ill! I would be worried with the steroids as well! Try not to think about it and just get better - even if you gain a little it should come off quickly as you recover! I am glad your Dr. is being aggresive with your treatments! {{{hugs}}}

PJTP...original version!

Hey ya'll...

Happy Tuesday.

Hi Glouc! Happy Tuesday to you too!

morning...

Hi LJM - give that gorgeous baby a kiss for me...I do love babies!

:tongue: Morning again all!

Nice puking pumpkin there Diva--what you trying to tell us?? :w00t: hehe!

Hi BBK! *waving wildly* Glad you are dealing with the weather...that's one thing I DON'T miss about Michigan...the changeable weather - though here in CT, it can be just as crazy. We'll have 65 and sunny in my hometown, and 1 hour away, where I work, it will be 55 degrees and cloudy / rainy / drizzly...go figure!

Hi Everybody!

Ebony - I hope you are feeling better!

Fanny - I wish I lived close enough to help you pack! I hope everything goes well! :w00t:

Glouc - Happy Tuesday!

Hi CC! Yes, I'm feeling better - the appetite came roaring back today. I find if I give in to my carb cravings (whole wheat Ritz are a current favorite) then they just keep coming. If I stall them with Protein, they die down and go away, and I feel better...

PJTP: I left work early. I am not feeling very well. Hopefully with some rest I can be good for my trip tomorrow. It was 109 in Phoenix yesterday! This morning it was 49 here in the DC Metro area!

I hope you are feeling better soon!

I'm doing better - even took DDog for a walk today, wiped me out, but I felt good enough to go jean shopping later with DH and DD. Ended up with "slim fit" Wrangler "Cowboy Cut" jeans - yep, men's jeans - because with my slimming hips and not a big differential between my waist and hips, men's jeans fit me better, and I can find the inseam I want (34 or 36 in this case)...

Glad you got that 90 lbs off of you, and even more glad you did not have to go to the hospital!

Ick - I spent some time on steroids - that was the time of my greatest weight gain, and the most frustration. It was pre-band, so the weight is gone now, but it was SOOO not fun!

Oh, and apologies to my friends at the homeless thread who may see a similar post if I update there later.

I posted on the newer PJTP...again thread as well - more detail on my clothing NSV...

What CC said - get well soon!

Finally finished my homework and turned in my last quiz for Business Math class - got 100% :scared2::w00t:

Start working on final exams tomorrow - as soon as they are available for download. 100 questions for Biz Math, and polishing up a paper for Humanities...gonna be a busy week for me!

Back to work tomorrow - I'd rather be home, but can't - it's coming into our busy season...still looking for another job, though...I'm just not really happy where I am, but happy to have a job in general.

Have a wonderful night, all! :thumbup:

      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.
