    Hello to the Dayton people. I was born and raised there. I am now....or rather was a telemetry nurse in the Greater Cincinnati area. I am thinking of signing off of this group because I am not currently working and it is still a sensitive subject. You see my back and legs gave out on me before my brain did. I am 57 years old and made it about 36 years part time. So I retired but still tear up whenever anyone asks me if I am still working. Yeah, dumb huh? Everyone I know would love to retire and here I am boohooing about it. So - weight loss surgery for me in July so I can stop being in pain and still have some life left. Good luck to you all!

    Hi!! I was just checking in with you to see how you are doing a year out? I made and surpassed goal and am maintaining. I saw Dr Teel in the surgeons lounge the other day after being at Kettering for about 6 months and he didn't recognize me! I have to tell you again, I *love* that dress in your pic!
  3. I am glad I got to meet you too, I leave for Seatle Thursday and will be gone until next week. I will get ahold of you the second week of May. Kim

    I too am a nurse educator and you are right as I don't take time for myself while I am in clinical... Thanks so much for the tip. What has been the hardest change since the surgery???

    Do you use Bariatric Choice vitamins? I have the multi-vitamin and Iron and I *hate* them! If you use them, you are more than welcome to have them. I can drop them off at your office. Let me know!
  9. Hi sorry have been crazy with work and not on here. I used to use the gym there but the weber one, now we have a family membership at the YMCA. Just read your post about surgery with the Doc... way to go on the weight loss. You are doing wonderful. I have a late Dr appointment (gyn) so won't be there but need to go soon. Having issues with my menstral cycles and it lasting 2 weeks

    Are you going to the meeting on 4-10? I am done with trauma nights after tonight and back on a normal shift so I am going to try to go.

    Also, do you ever go to the gym at the Valley? I joined and thought I was going to the one in Weber but they told me I had access to one on the Mezzanine level near the Apple street garages? I've never seen that one so I am not sure what I have actually signed up for!

    Do you remember how much protein we are supposed to have daily? I lost all of my post operative info, but I am pretty sure I am supposed to have 3 4oz meals daily, 60+ oz water daily, and not to drink 30 min before and 30 min after eating?
    Full liquids for 2 weeks?
    And how long did you keep your drain?
