hi, patsy in las vegas here. i mostly lurk, read the posts faithfully

everyday and get so much support from this site. decided i would post

my thoughts on some recent topics.

comfort foods-didnt any of you babyboomers out there eat graham

crackers and milk? two ways:dunk in a glass of milk or crumble in a

bowl and pour the milk over it.

natrol and menopause- i was suddenly having problems sleeping and

realized it was probably menopausal symptoms. i got the natrol " sleep

and restore " with melatonin and valerian root. out like a lightbulb

within 15 minutes and slept all night. i went back to the doc and

got back on hrt so dont need the s/r but once in a blue moon.

jennifer-welcome to the group and i really enjoyed your story.

b12and iron-i am going to get my labs checked even tho i am not due.

after reading all the posts and knowing i have been pretty tired

lately, maybe i need some extra vits.

chewable calcium citrate-i also wanted something to replace my

viactivs.never had trouble takin those sweet things. finally broke

down and decided to try the powders. michelle has my order as we

speak.cannot find twin labs brand of chewables but tried the other

brand mentioned-can you say GAG? bariatric advantage were too

expensive.

now my topic-have spent many hours the past few weeks getting hubby's

paperwork ready for his surgery. now the wait begins. i am weary. i

think i should become a wls " dula " and hire out my services to

preops. i have this stuff down to a science now.

i am worried that my husband might die from surgery and scared that

he might die while he is waiting for it. he is 60 and has pretty bad

heart disease.i am reliving my own anxieties of a year and a half ago

when i had mine. i was sure i would die from the surgery but i wanted

to at least die trying.

love this group.
