Checking IN

[Guest guest]

July 19 will be here before you know it . Welcome to LOSERVILLE.

Australia

Checking In

I am glad to see everyone seems to be doing well. Especially those who

are recently post-op! I must say that it seems as if my surgery date

will never get here. July 19 seems ages away. I have stocked up on a

few

items already and am anxious to begin. I have started eating smaller

meals and chewing well, but my doctor said not to lose much weight

prior to surgery, just maintain. I want to be a loser! Hope everyone

has a great day.

I'll definitely take that as a great sign! LOL

Yes, if I have eaten too much of something or touched something with too much

sugar in it... I dump without throwing up.

Hi April

I wrote viactive by mistake,what I really have is Caltrate 600 plus

chewables.The protein samples they gave were unjury.I really like

the taste of the chocolate ones.Strawberry was ok.Haven't tried

vanilla,not real fond of.I also got samples from vitalady of the

champion products. About the potatoes,can you dump without vomiting?

I just had a horrible gas feeling & pressure like I had to go but

never did. Thanks for all your suggestions!

with calcium citrate and you will avoid getting kidney stones.

the best because it is biodegradable so we can absorb it.

> One possible reason for the bathroom issue is you are dumping on

the mashed potatoes. They are all starch and a lot of WLS people can

not handle that. (turns to sugar rapidly) Congratulations again on

your new journey. April

allowed the foods I am having a hard time

trying to get all the food water & protein drinks in because I feel

like all I am is full! Constantly! A far cry from last 2 weeks at

feeling so empty in the tummy,LOL

I asked about the pool today & they said I have to wait until my

scabs fall off because if I get into the pool w/ a scab water &

infection can get in under it & if it has even the smallest opening

in the skin,it can become infected.So,better safe than infected.Not

to mention our nights are only 50 degrees & the water is frigid

during the day.We are being jipped of summer this year in PA.LOL

Keep sippin!

Ok,

I am not sure where everyone is hiding but I am wonding what is happening. I

know that I've been MIA alot lately and believe me that has been rather hard. I

haven't been feeling well and Pat and I have been dealing with the fact that

he's been sick again.

We;ve been dealing with a rather hard holiday season. With holidays starting

and that means that we are going to be broke. But we've gone a head and have

decided that for some of the things for the holidays we are going to get gifts

for the kids and then for everyone else after the holidays. Pat has a job lined

up with Arby's that is coming in our area after the new year. So that means that

my husband will have a job witha company that he's worked for before. We've

been dealing with the pain issues we've both been having. and since that means

that we can't do as much as we used to. I am working what is classified as full

time about 30 hours a week and taht is what I wanted. But of course I pay dearly

for that later. I know that I am right now waiting for my social security to

kick in and that means that we are waiting but we don't want to wait for ever.

Heck it was so bad that we had to take out a loan just to get food in the house.

I want to thank all of you for the warm wishes for my birthday between you, my

family and one person from work that was all that said anything. I heard nothing

from any of my other friends. My husband and I went out for my birthday for

dinner but we could barely aford that but we knew that it was my birthday and we

deserved it. But it truly hurt when my manager got a cake, flowers and even a

card from people at work and one person, one person at work said happy birthday

to me. And the only reason she said it was cause i had made a comment that my

birthday was Saturday. And I was working that friday.

I have been keeping up on things and this week I work short and long shifts

LOL. But tomorrow I work 11-3 and am gonna try and get some writing done. I want

to do some writing. I am looking for anyone that is willing to read and edit my

story, Meranda Cross Files: Hidden Truths.

Ok I am outta here, LOL

See ya

Well happy belated birthday. Nice to hear from you. It does seem the board is

a little bare tonight. But people have been posting and posting away the last

few days. I guess we have sore fingers. LOL.

I sure hope both of you feel better honey. If it aint one thing its another.

love

Yeah I swear when it comes to things, we are always getting them in threes. lol.

But we are going to figure out how to get this outta here cause my dear Pat has

asthma and with that a normal cold for him turns into pnemonia.
