Geez Janet, you do get up early! Just waiting for John to show up for rehersal. I set my alarm this a.m. for 8 oclock, got up washed, brushed teeth put on my bra and undies and then .....went back to bed for 30 mins... hee,hee,hee... guess that qualifies me as a Napper!!

Phyl, hope you are feeling better today! Enjoy the scenery along your route...(so jealous) Kiss Earl for me!

Karla; wow, your teacher friend must be devastated with that news. Makes you count your blessings right? You`ll get on the computer tonight and get all caught up.

Janet, yep I was trying to get on the website to see what homework I have. I finally got on, then hell, how am I going to get it all done. Had to write a introduction, take a survey, read 3 chapters, write a paper summarizing the results of the survey, write at least 2 discussion posts all before Sunday and I don't even get the books until Wednesday. Wednesday night I have Open House at school, then work Saturday and Sunday at the nursery. So I probably won't be able to make long posts, but I will do quick check ins.

I have my dr. appt for my prolapse tomorrow, so I will find out what options I have.

I need to find something else for Breakfast, maybe some eggs. My blueberries/kashi/yogurt are fighting with me. I vomit it most mornings. I seem to do okay with some laughing cow and those great big wheat thins that Phyl had at the coast. lunch, somedays I can eat my salad, others not. Somedays Soup, somedays not. I know damn well that it is stress!! I need to get a handle on this. Tonight I had some Pasta and cheese raviola. Doing good so far. I avoided eating candy today, it was really calling me. Well back to work. TTFN

Oh Candice, I'm up at 4 a.m.

Glad you had a good rehearsal - WTG on the jeans - I ordered some from QVC $25 got regular length to wear w/heels and petite for flat - the petite are too tight in the waist - both size 4 but the petite waist is about 2 inches smaller - so they are going back.. Have a great visit w/your gf - you will find tons to talk about and we are old now adays so we are always repeating ourselves ;0)

Glad you are going to the doc for your prolaspe.. Ya you are going to be busy w/homework - Like I said - props to you for taking this on - I think it's great..

Slow down when you eat - leave the ceral out - That's the problem w/the band - tight some days others not - I really think dehydration may have something to do with it..

Went to lunch today w/gf - went to italian - I have been wanting shrimp alfredo - for the longest - but ended up ordering a salad - why you ask - cuz it was the better choice and I didn't really need all that grease & pasta..

But I had to slow my gf down with her eating - she eats really fasts and I found myself trying to keep up w/her - and I can't ;0)

Well it's 8:30 Kaitlin called so I've been on the phone w/her..

Ck back in the morning

Just a quick note. Child care duties the last two days. Andy's surgery went well; went home a couple hours post-op with a pump that delivers a steady dose of anesthesia to the incision--never saw that before! But he's still moving slowly, and NO LIFTING. How did I ever have 4 kids, work and go to school? A two-year-old and 4-month-old have worn me out! Not even time to eat!

Back to work today and student issues to deal with. It'll be a long one

Karla wtg on using your time wisely - I screw around on the computer playing games etc instead of doing stuff I should - then I have to rush to get stuff done..

On your breakfast issues - yesterday I had deli ham & 2% cheese w/mustard - it's an easy at work meal ;0)

You don't have to eat breakfast food for bf - you can eat whatever you want.. I'm not a sweet person in the morning (nite time is when it calls my name) so I will have other stuff for bf - just steak - fish - chicken sometimes.

Linda Glad Andy's surgery went well - Karri came home w/pain pump when she had tt - they do that alot now a days - my boss has his prostrate surgery on 10/14 and they will be repairing herina at that time.. He'll be out of work for 2 weeks..

Phyl still in OK - Steph what are you doing... Karri has a job but buy the looks of it on FB she's not super excited about it - it's a normal teaching job - but you know our Karri - not normal so that's not exciting to her - but she's glad she has a job..

Candice- Zumba today..

Well I have weights & yoga tonite - so don't know when I will get back on the computer..

Have a Great Day Peeps...

Janet, thanks for the suggestions. I need to get some deli meat, I think that will be agood idea. Anything 'creamy' (yogurt) seems to be giving me hell. AND I agree, it is the dehydration. This summer I drank at least 40 oz of Water a day, now I am lucky if it is 8. So back to figuring out how to go about getting in the fluids.

Linda, glad the surgery went well. Yep, babies are for young people. I don't know how some of these ladies have babies in their late 40's.

I'll let you all know how the dr. appt goes, TTFN

Karla - My meat is oscar meyer sandwich - brown sugar deli ham - not actual deli meat -but that would work too - 6 slices is like 50 cal - cheese 45 - so really you could have 2 servings - I'm good w/one most days. Can't say I stay full till lunch - I get hungry around 10:30 - 11 - and I try to drink then..

I do ok on workout days w/my water I take a 20 oz and I will have it gone by the end of the hour - but that's 1/3 of our water - but I do have at least 2 - 10 oz coffee and then 8-16 oz of juice at nite and 12 oz of ice tea in the afternoons (need the caffiene to keep going)..

But some days (non exercise days) all I get is my coffee and a little juice- then I have 2 problems tight and tmi ;0)

Candice, look at all that room!!!

Well the dr. appt went well, he spent 2 hours with me talking and examining and talking. There is hope!!! AND it isn't my fault that I'm prolapsed. Evidently the nerves are damaged so the muscles haven't recieved any messages and so now there isn't any muscles. No amount of pelvic floor exercises would have worked because without nerves...well you know. There is a procedure that uses 'robotic' procedures that will reconstruct everything through laposcropy. A pessuary is not an option because of the thin tissue. Anyway, he feels that the surgery is an option for me, but wants me to do some reading and thinking. He will also facilitate me going to a larger more experienced medical center if I want. He says currently he does about 1 a month, I guess the 'robot' is tightly booked.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
