Quit talking to your mom. We're all worriers. She'll try to convince you that it's a sign when in reality it's just a storm. :mad:

Operating rooms have tons of generators. They don't stop mid-surgery. Yours is a quick procedure so don't worry.

Power is out here too......Dr. Baggs is great I totally trust him you will be fine!!! I thought hospitals have back up generators. I hope they go through surgeries today. I bet they will.

The lady in the room next to me yesterday was getting the sleeve I heard them talking to her a bit........interesting stuff. I asked Dr. BAggs but he said he is sure the band is gonna work for me!! LOL. Work is gonna kill me when I tell them I have another appointment thought.............

Ok so working from home until things calm down a bit. We have a tree down in my street so waiting for that to get cleaned up than outta here........

I hope they got the power back up for Tamra. I stayed home today too - going to call in for a meeting at 11 am. I drove my kids to school but I wasn't feeling it as far as driving to Rancho Cordova. I did my taxes last night and between the two my refund is $2200.00 less than last year - my anxiety level went way up. I use my tax refunds to pay property taxes, car insurance etc so I'm going to have to figure something out.

My food so far today was 1/2 cup baked Beans and 4 crackers.

I've been awake since 4 am so I'll definitely be taking a nap after I call in to my meeting.

I hope everyone stays safe today. Somebody please post when they hear about Tamra.

Hmm Tamra should be out by now if the surgery went through.

Pam I was nice in what I said too but what does a making a note mean? I hope they don't make it a bad thing. I didn'nt have one but I am sure Dr. Baggs will talk to hear about what I said they are good friends.

Yea Pam my taxes are alot less to this year. Last year I got 900 for the state and this year 36. And the state is still broke??? I know they took away some of the child tax great. Well ok most of the credit..........I don'te know about this but if they forlough and tax heavy.........well how can people afford this?

I finally left the house but now I am stuck at a Dennys since Watt Ave is totally down and that is how I get to Rancho Cordova............sounds like my office power is out I don't know what the point is of trying to get to that side of town.......

Tamra let us know how it goes and how you feel!!

Yay Tamra - you did it. I got chills when I read Nicolie's message that you were done and in recovery.

Yep Tina the dependent exemption on the state side went from $352 per child to $98 - my state refund went from $1118 to $185.

Well I have had to get up out of my recliner three times to see what blew over on the back porch and each time I grabbed a few crackers, the next time a few pretzels - what am I doing - I'm not even hungry. I think my emotions are talking loud today. I will have to get dressed before I pick my daughter up at 3:30 - still in my nightgown and robe. - watching Biggest Loser that I taped.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
