I have missed my LBT friends!!!



Recommended Posts

It seems like I have been going a thousand miles and hour for the last 2 months. I have had almost no time to come here and talk to my LBT family.:cry I have answered a few of my PM's. but have not really had the time to welcome new members or answer questions I might be able to help with.

1st my mom was rushed to the ER because a blood test came back that her kidneys were not working, Then while she was there they found out that her Calcium count was way too high. That can cause heart trouble and all kinds of other things. She was in the hospital for 4 days and the Dr. said she can go home. I took her home and 4 hours later rushed her back to ER. She had been vimiting since I brought her home. Well they put her in the hospital again for another 4 days. Got her home now but she is still very sick alot. I have to take her for a blood test everyother day to check her Calcium count. It is still up and they are running tons of test to find out why. She is so sick of Dr's at this point. And not a very happy person to live with. (she lives with me now) Her kidneys are fine now!!

3 days after getting my mom home from the hospital I got a call that my oldest brother had a heart attack and was on his way to the hospital. So back to the hospital we went. He has had 2 heart surgerys but is on the road to recovery. He is back home now and is expected to return to his job on Wednesday this week!! :clap2:

With everything that is going on I have not been a very good bandster. Hospital food and all!:P I have not been anywhere near a scale. Well, it's there I just don't get on it.:nervous

I want to thank everyone for there e-mails and pm's wondering where I have been. I will try to get here more often now that everything is slowing down a little. I really, really missed you guys!!!:kiss2:

Oh, and WELCOME to all the new comers!!

Life sure does get in the way of our plans sometimes. Welcome back even if your just passing through. Spending time with your family in their time of need is priceless. I willing gave up 4 months of my life when my mother-in-law broke her hip, had to have hip replacement, went to the nursing home for rehab, and then died from blood clots. I was so blessed to spend that time with her.

Welcome back - we missed you! I'm so sorry that you and your family have had such a tough time lately. Glad to hear that your mom and brother are mending well.

Hmm... a "hospital food only" diet. You might just find out that you've lost weight! :)

Hi Chickaboomboom, sorry about your sick family & I understand why you haven't been around. I'm not here much either, but I'm glad I checked in and found your cute face. I spent some time with Donali over the weekend and think back to times when LBT had a countable number of members! There are so many new people that I wish I could say hi to, also.

Love you bunches, Lis.

WOW you guys are awesome!! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. You ALL mean so much to me!! (((((((HUGS))))))) to you all!!

Anyone want to become a AVON lady?? That is what my mom has been doing for the last 25 years and now I have had to take it over for her until she feels better. I HATE IT!!! I AM NOT A PEOPLE PERSON! Unless they only stand 3 feet high and are 3-4 years old!! LOL

Again Thank you all for your well wishes and Prayers!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
