NJ November Thread



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies!! I've been busy catching up on the October and November threads. I've missed everyone, and I don't have any good reason for staying away so long. I suppose when I went back to work my whole life became a juggling act and I let a few things drop. I'm trying to get better at prioritizing things, and dang it, I miss my friends!! Besides, I've decided to say to heck with corporate policy and start posting from work - we're not supposed to use the internet for personal use, tee hee! Oh well, I work for a hospital and this is a "medical" website, right?

I will catch up more soon - it's 3:30 in the morning and I have to get back to bed. I woke up 2 am nautious and burping. And so continues my love/hate relationship with the band...

(((((HUGS)))))

Hi Jessica, I don't think you're doing anything wrong if you are taking little baby sips. Hydration,as you already know is soooooo important. But I felt so nauseous too (at about the same timeline as you). My doctor had prescribed pain meds and med for nausea. I did use it once.

Anything you have a question or concern about, just call the Drs. office. Not only are they used to it, but they are usually very helpful and informed. It'll rest your fears too (if you have any).

Take care and let us know how things are going when you can :)

Welcome back home, Anne! It's so great to see you here again!

Congratulations, Jessica! Welcome to Bandland! It seems rough at first, but it DOES get easier!

Sorry Abi is sick, Mandy...is she any better? Haven was sick for about 5 days, but she's okay now...just every now and then, she still gets into some coughing.

I subbed one day this week, and the last two days I made mini-muffins for the Grandparent's Tea that is coming up a week from Friday. Tomorrow I'm going to get new tires for my car, and THAT's exciting, right? Yeah.

Haven's having a friend spend the night tomorrow. They're going to make their own pizzas, watch a movie or two...the next day we're going to the mall to play lunar mini golf. That should keep them busy enough and having plenty of fun!

I guess that's about it for me...hugs to all!

No Cindy, Abi isn't better. She is still coughing her poor little head off, and she's pissed that I won't let her go outside for recess.

I am having major problems with her at school right now too. Say a prayer for us both. Me for my sanity and her that she survives the weekend. She admitted tonight that she wasn't paying attention in class today and that is why she is lost with her math problems. Is it normal for 1st graders to be learning 3 number addition problems already? They also read a story in class together and then are supposed to come home and read it again. Well she looked at tonights story like it was in a forgein language. I guess she had spaced out for that today too. The psych put her an adderel (sp?) and it's not helping, so tonight he upped the dose. We start the new does tomorrow morning.

On a more positive note, I like my new job. The kids are pretty good for the most part. It's not hard, the hours work with Abi's schedual and the pay is decent.

I'm off to bed. I'll check in tomorrow.

Oh and Jessica, I would call the doc if the sick feeling isn't gone by morning. They can give you phenegran or zofran and you will feel much better. ~Mandy

Mandy, sorry Abi's having it tough in school lately. Maybe it's being sick? I know when I feel under the weather and I go into work, I have to constantly force my brain to focus and, if I'm really sick, it just won't comprehend much. Hopefully that's just it. Tell Abi I said hi, she's such a sweetie!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Jessica.....Are you still taking your pain meds? Reason for asking...mine made me sick to my stomach after a while. I had to switch to liquid Tylenol. If you're still taking yours maybe you need to back off from it and switch to something a little easier. I found the liquid prescription they gave me too strong for an almost empty stomach due to the liquid restrictions.

Anybody here had or have or know of Dr. Wasser ?? Rancocas Medical ??

Most of the people on this thread are not from Jersey. There are a few, but most of us are from other places. You can do a search for the doctors name, and see if there are any posts about him/her. ~Mandy

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
