Joan LAP RNY 11/18/03 Dr. Higa, Fresno, CA 282pre-op/275surg/240/140 (unknown) Hi all...My name is karon...operation date is Jan.14....Just around the corner. I am 50 years old and a mother of 2 grown kids...I given my word to my daughter that I would go horse back ridding with her on Mothers Day. The first day of the rest of my life is coming soon...At this point of my life I have NO QUALITY of life. I have always been a " BIG " girl but I was active..running a day care for 12 years. Well I went back to " outside of the home " work and SAT down in 1996 and forgot to stand up again. My day is...Get out of bed..SIT and have coffee..go out and SIT in my car and drive to work...take the elevator to my job and SIT in a chair..most of the time I forget to go to the bathroom...after all that would mean I would have to stand up...leave work 8 hours later and SIT in my car to SIT and eat super and go to bed. I can not walk long enough to go shopping...But with my Handy Cap Plate on my car I can almost drive into a restauant and SIT and eat....Well this is my year to shine..This year I will go horse back riding..I will buy a bike..I will quit my job and get OFF my ...BY now my BIG FLAT A--...I will walk and stop to smell the roses..I will live every day like there is no tomorrow.. " Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable..So remember..A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others " I will take time to love myself!!!!! kisses and stay safe!!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 , I second that!!!! But it will pass, eventually...... as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait, or something like that. 4 weeks is a long time to be patient though. Let me know when it breaks.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hey congrats !!!! We broke our plateau's together!!! Wasn't it nice to have a big drop all at once like that!!!!! Made my weekend and I am sure it did yours as well!!!! Candi (unknown) Hey all!! This is in Missouri! Well....Guess what!! I BROKE THAT LOONNNGGGG PLATEAU! lol Remember...I emailed you all about me being on a plateau for almost 4 weeks. This morning I weighted and to my relief and happiness, I went from the stubborn plateau weight of 188 to 181!! Yea me!!!!!!!! Geez...this was the longest plateau so far! I had made a new years resolution to get in my required water, protein drinks, more work out sessions and not skipping my daily vitamins. I took all your advice and it paid off!! I did it! Now I'm only 2 POUNDS AWAY FROM JOINING THE CENTURY CLUB!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE DONE THIS!! I'm a diabetic and I have Neuropathy in my feet and toes. Although it will not improve alot, It won't get worse. I'm off insulin and diabetic meds and now i'm just on diabetic meds gone down from 3 a day to two a day. I use to take 30 cc's of insulin 3 times a day before surgery. I saw my pcp last monday and by blood pressure was 120/70!!! I was taking two bp meds twice a day. Now I'm down to only one a day!!! GOD IS GOOD!! I am blessed!! Thanks so much for all your input and suggestions and all your words of support! Now...on to the losing track once again until I hit the wall with another plateau! LOL I'LL NEED YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT ONCE AGAIN WHEN IT HAPPENS! LOL Love to all! Missouri post op 8/12/3 279/181/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I have not tried these but I do drink the Shape Up drinks from Dr. Phil in Chocolate. They are 26g of protein and only 10 g of sugar...I don't remember the carb count but it's pretty low as well and they're yummy. T.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 We've all probably tried (and obviously hoped), but nothing has worked yet that I am aware of. Actually, now that I think about it, there was one individual who recently posted some various vitamins and minerals he had been taking, but he had also already been in a a drug-induced remission, I believe. If your boyfriend begins taking heavy meds, Tracie can tell you what vitamins/minerals should be taken along with them. I will be finding out on 11/22 which medications my doctor is going to be putting me on, and will be asking info on what supplements I should be taking in addition to the methotrexate and/or plaquenil or imuran. I don't want to ask yet, since my mind will forget ... and I've been somehow "misplacing" my e-mails lately, too. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hi Quint. It's good to hear from you. We've missed your words of wisdom!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hi Quint, Marla here, I was able to get off the pred after I started Mtx, have been on the mtx for 18 months now, have more relief of some symptoms with the mtx then I did with the pred. and I can stand the side effects of the mtx, but not the pred. Although I had to do an IV solu-medrol burst for three days last weekend. The pain seems to be getting worse and I had a terrible pain attack. Am better now though, and hanging in there with the mtx, I told my wonderful doc that I would do the IV steroids or 3 days, but not continue with the oral, and he agreed. I hope things go well for you and you can get off the pred. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Quint! How nice to see you here with us. I was worried! about you, but despite your warnings about losing half your brain (where is it vacationing now?) you seem especially lucid and that makes me especially glad. Happy Thanksgiving, (esther is a pen name I had to switch to because my brief stint with earthlink has permanently poisoned any rkelty address, or so I have found it to be the case) > > Hi everyone just ckecking in I will soon be off my webtv > my new e-mail is sarcdogg@...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi , I am in the same situation with . I have been calling for weeks, and never receive a reply. I also feel like I have fallen off the radar. The only consolation I have is that I was told there are more than 400 people in the Fremont program alone. So, I have to just keep on trying, I guess. Let me know if you have any success and what you did to finally get some attention. I will do the same. Best regards, Merrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi , don't blame you for being frustratted, is not the easiest person to work with. When I can get in touch with her, I find her helpful, but getting ahold of her is the thing. I get so sick of hearing them talk about how many patients, as if that should be our problem when we are trying to get our health needs met. I think that problem should be one that Kaiser solves by giving them more help, not one that we're expected to put up with.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I repeat, if there are that many people, then they should get her some help! We shouldn't have to put up with this kind of ignorance on the part of the Kaiser staff, whatever the reason. LaWanda At 10:41 AM 1/22/05, you wrote: >Hi , >I am in the same situation with .
