Quick Update

[alliecat8]

Just wanted to let you guys know that I owe email to several of you to thank you for Christmas cards, etc. I haven't forgotten about you and you'll hear from me soon, with all the THANKS you deserve. I wanted to give you my explanation, though, and please don't worry, it's nothing too serious, but I'm having surgery in two weeks and I'm spending a lot of time now going between home and the hospital, getting pre-surgical seminars and having meetings and tests, and the hospital is 2 1/2 hours away, so I'm not around a lot right now and will probably be on hiatus completely for a week or so after surgery. Let me take this opportunity to solemly vow that I will get my J/S fic finished before then! ;) And that I catch up on my email, because right now I fail at appreciating y'all the way you need to be!

Best wishes! I hope that the surgery goes smoothly and leads into an easy recovery. *Hugs.*

Thank you so much. I'm hoping the same thing myself! I hope it'll be the kind of recovery where, when I have to stay in bed, I can play on my laptop. Then I won't have to go on hiatus! :)

*ginormous hugs back!*

I hope you're okay and the surgery goes well!! *hugs*

I'm ok, sweetie! I'm having surgery to correct a side effect of a med I've been taking for a while; I can't do without the med, so the surgery will reverse the unwanted extras, so to speak. I'm staying positive and reminding myself that I'm tough; I can take anything!

Thank you! *hug back tight*

Thank you so much, luv. You're one of the ones I owe email, and I don't have to go back to the hospital until the surgery so I'll finally have time to write it! ♥

Good luck with the surgery, and hope you're feeling better soon!

You're so sweet! Thank you for the hugs and the well wishes. The surgery...I don't think it will be so much *pain* as it'll be a *pain in the ass* recovering from it. But I'll still be able to use the computer, so I'll *CLING* to you guys!

OH, I so hope everything is ok!

Thank you! I know you've been through a lot yourself. *HUGS*

I have fibromyalgia and have to take Lyrica for it, and in the year I've been on it I've gained 60 lbs., and that's totally unacceptable. I HAVE to stay on the Lyrica, though, so I'm having lapband surgery to shrink my stomach and keep my appetite down. The pre-surgical diet is a bitch, and the post-surgical diet is going to be worse, but eventually I'll be eating normal food again, just not so much of it. It'll be worth it in the long run.

You're a doll for popping in to cheer me on. ♥!!!

I'm guessing your pre-and post- diets are similar to what I've been on - low residue, etc.

Make sure you get your supplements, and feel free to bitch to me, b/c gawd knows, I can sympathize with frustrating food regimes!

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Yes, I imagine our diets are very similar. So you can relate. That makes me feel not so alone, even tho I'm sorry we're both having to go through this.

Thank you for being there for me! ♥

[txvoodoo.livejournal.com]

I was on low residue for almost 2 years!

You'll get past it, but be careful to watch your nutrition. It's challenging!

*hugs* Good luck with everything!

Thank you, love! It'll go fine and I'll probably spam LJ for a while, during the post-surgical weeks when I can't do much of anything but lie around. So consider yourself warned. ;)
