He and his wife just a had a little girl this past Tues, the 22nd. Her name is Dawn and she weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. I have attached her pic, I hope that's ok.

So glad you have some good news hun. *smile*

Jan, Congratulations! I am a brand new Grandmother...July 7,2000 and

she is a beautiful little Girl....It feels like I have my daughter

back again when she was little....very weird....but I love it....I

can't pick her up and carry her, so my family puts her in my lap and

if I am alone with her I have her on my bed that way I can get up and

get her diapers etc...with out worrying about droopping her...She is

beautiful...I wish I could sing her a lullaby, but I have no

voice...so I just kiss her a lot and hug and feed her....

Take Care and Gentle hugs to you (((((Sara from NH)))))))

Sara, how nice for you. I can't wait til mine is born. Still seems

unreal. I waited so long for this one. Probably will spoil it rotten.

LOL

Jacqui....wow !!! that is great. A little girl. Nice being an aunt

again isn't it? I can't get attachments. Is it in egroups page? Can

you send me it privately via jpeg? I would love to see her. thanks

Yitzi & Tami, thanks, I am excited. She had a little spotting

today......hope it isn't anything. They were home for the weekend and

had to drive over 900 miles in two days so that with her starting a new

teaching job today may have been a little stressful. Gosh I hope

everything is ok. I plan on calling tomorrow too. Gotta check on

little 'sweet pea " .

Hope you all have a great week. Jan M

Francisco,

Yep it was me at Richmond, the anal one, that kept wanting

schedules. I'm so happy for you on your June 3rd date. Patrice has

the same day as you, she was the other African American woman

sitting by the door next to me. Both of you have been so positve in

your journey and a tremendous help to me and I'm sure others. Well,

looks like we are on the way to the other part of our journey my

date is 5/29/03. Well, again CONGRATS!!!!! Peace, Valarie

That is so sweet Francisco. I was being over-dramatic. I just hate it,

but if I drink it with a positive attitude, I don't really gag. I keep

reminding myself that I don't want to lose hair, and doesn't vanity

always win???

Keep up your positive attitude too. It will get you a long way after

surgery. Keep those nurses laughing!

Re: Good News

Cheryl:

You gave such meaningful input at the meeting! And I'm printing out

this message to put into my binder. Thanks for the great advice.

Have you tried the Designer Whey Protein from Trader Joe's? Maybe

you'd find it a bit more bearable. I felt so bad in the meeting

hearing that you have to gag your protein supplement down.

HI SHell,

I wish that I knew then about what I Know now. There are so many ways to make it taste better. I was thinking that I was just going to have to toss the rest of the protein powder that I ahve but I have been using it lately. I followed the recipes that Pat was so kind to share with us and I find now that it is great. Either that or my taste buds are dead (Ha ha). I have started to use it again just to give myself a boost and I find that since I have upped my protein with a shake I have had a lot more energy. I even find that I sleep better at night. I was having a very hard time staying asleep. I find that when I don't get enough protein during the day I don't sleep well at night. I don't know it is related but that is the way I have been. I have tweaked my shake with 1 tablespoon of sugar free instant butterscotch pudding, 2 packets of splenda, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Plus of course two scoops of protein powder (Ihave the choclate flavor), one cup of nonfat milk, and 5 or 6 ice cubes. It comes out so tasty that I shared it with my extremely picky husband and he liked it. I think what really makes the big difference is the pudding in the shake. Well I just wanted to share this.

Cheryl,

I could NOT drink the protien shakes no matter what I did! Just the

smell of it made me gag. My boyfriend was beside him self

trying to think of a way to get me to get it down. He snuck in in my

oatmeal and anything else he could think of lol. Every time I ate

something and it was in it I would just gag lol. I no how important it

is to have the protien but for me I just could not do it. I talked to

Nadia and gitty and as important as it is they said I would not die

with out it. I was put on stage 2 diet about 2 weeks after surgery and

ate eggs allot and cheese and other forms of protiens. I have been

fine and my protien levels are perfect. This was just my story and I

am not saying in anyway that we should not do as the doctors tell us.

This is just how it was for me

I know I don't say much unless its big news so here is some good news for me finely I talked to Pam she works in the member service dept for Kaiser she is really nice and helpful she is helping push my doctor along to make sure she does her job in a timely matter. I talked with her yesterday to see where things stand. She said she has talked to my PCP and my PCP told her she is in the process of filling in the referral to the PB department and Pam and I are kinda upset as to why she didn't get it done before taking off for vacation so she is waiting till my PCP gets back and getting all over her for the paper work my PCP is really good at not doing what she is suppose to be paid to do in a timely matter. In the mean time I had lost feeling in my right hand from diabetes and I have not got any menstrual period in at least 4 months now. No I am not pregnant although I get that comment all the time because most of my flubber is in and around my stomach I cant wait to get on the other side of the fence and be a post op
