I did call for Liz today and she's out of the office this week. I also tried to email Dr. Baggs but he's out till Monday. GEEZ! So I called and talked to Beverly and she was AWESOME and so sweet about it, gave me a hard time for about a minute and then was just really excited for me and so glad that I've lost so much weight. She told me to go shopping and buy something cute and tiny. :blushing:

She told me she'd talk to her department manager and another surgeon and call me back. She just called me back a while ago and I have to go in at 1:30 to Richmond to meet with Dr. Fisher and have a small unfill. Then I can talk to Dr. Baggs next week and see how we will proceed. She said that Dr. Fisher said we'll see how it goes through out the pregnancy and Dr. Baggs and I will decide how much to take out or put in. I'm nervous, I'm afraid to gain weight but I know I need to get enough calories in to grow a healthy baby and that's what's most important.

I'll let you know how it goes today!

How exciting Chris. Isn't it wonderful to have wonderful supportive mate? Love it. I sure hope we all don't get this sympathy pregnancy thing. J I've been grazing on nuts all morning. Bev is great…and that’s nice of Fisher to see you today, probably concerned. Candra you don’t have a thing to worry about. I guess all of them have their moments but T.C.B. when the time comes.

Reggie are you down at Richmond today too for your fill?

I'll definitely let you know! I'm hoping I can see Reggie today since she'll be down there. I don't know what time her appt is though, do you guys?

Beverly was super nice. She just said "Well, what are you doing getting pregnant so soon?" I just told her that it as much of a shock to her as it was to me. Then she told me congratulations and was so so sweet. I told her I'll come by today and say hi and she can give me a spank for getting pregnant before I'm supposed to. She was cute and said "Oh no, I'm done being upset with ya, now I'm just so happy and excited for you. " I LOVE her, she's always been so nice to me.

I'll post later and let you know how it goes!

Hi Ladies, just checking in!

BTW - I got great news and bad news! Let see which one first???? I'll give you the bad news first....

Last night on my way to pick up my baby girl at church I got in a pretty bad accident. A guy in a big truck (in front of me) drifted into the 'suicide lane' and then drifted back with no blinkers...but all was still okay until... He drifted even farther this time just about all the way in the suice lane and then decided at the last second to make a right hand turn from there 'in front of me' into a drive way. Still had no blinkers on...so I ended up hitting his side rear passenger door and he drug against my car until his rear wheel well and my front driver side fender/frame pretty much locked up on each other. It appears from my opinion and everyone else I am speaking to that it is definitely not my fault (which is what I feel) but still waiting for the final decision from the insurance company...should know more this late afternoon.

I wasn't hurt too bad so far but my neck is hurting pretty bad and so is my upper back and right shoulder. It also really agitated my 'already bad' lower back. Going to see my PCP at Ranco Cordova Kaiser in about an hour or so.

On a lighter side....

I went in to speak to my boss and explain what had happen last night since I was going to be leaving early to see the doc and he mentioned to me that I my PROMOTION wen through and should be effective last week or sooner!!!!! Thank God; I feel so blessed through all of this that's going on right now!

Oh yeah I almost forgot...CONGRATS Christine I am so happy for you. You just make sure to let us all know what it is like being pregnant with the band. I am curious if you have more "tight" days or what.

Also Nicole congrats to you and the fam! It seems like a very nice place that you chose....if I could afford something like that I would've done that myself. At least you will know there is always something around to do and you will never feel 'trapped' at home there! Let us know when you guys get your move in date.

Wish I was on that side of town so I could walk with you guys sometime :thumbup:

My goodness April! Yikes, ouch and . . congratulations!! It seems weird to say all that in the same post to the same person, but I guess that's just the way life is sometimes! Your attitude of gratitude is refreshing & a blessing in itself :thumbup:

OK not back pon track YET, too much really good dark chocolate in here . . . yes Candra you are right, I need to up my Water I will go get some right now! I have been WAY lax on that.

Tina what do you hear girl? We just voted on a contract that, if ratified, would actually give a few county positions a 2.21% equity increase - and mine is one of them! I had no idea. Lay some off and pay others more??? It makes no ssense to me - I would rather NOT get more and save jobs, and I told them that too.

Back to the grind . . .take care my dearies

      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? 🤷‍♀️
