OK! I live in Massachusetts....I should be used to snow, ice, cold and more cold...but I can't stand this!! We are supposed to be getting this huge storm and I am so upset!!! I've lived in this state for 26 years and I still can't get used to it...I wasn't born here but have lived here most of my life.. I love the change of the seasons and all that jazz, but the winter just bugs me.. I know, I shouldn't complain because we have had a very mild winter this year...but something about knowing we are supposed to get ALOT of snow just irritates me...anyway...I've vented and now moving on!!! I walked 4.5 miles today!!!!!I an a certified mall walker now!!! I tried to get as much walking in because I do not drive in the snow..Yes, I am chicken due to an accident I had 2 years ago...long story, short outcome I DON"T DRIVE IN THE SNOW!!!

B: 1 piece of toast w/ PB and honey
8 oz of hot tea
L: 1/2 cupchicken salad (chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers light mayo)
8 oz light and healthy orange juice
S: banana cream pie yogurt
6 oz crystal light
d: don't know yet....
s: maybe, maybe not...

Nothing works!! gas-x, walking (I walked for 40 minutes), lying down, the petho position...NOTHING WORKS!!!!!

I was happy. Usually they go that price for one pair... and a very very warm sweater at Wal Mart for $10 (19.94 originally)....so, I think I did well...:bathbaby: Can oyu tell I'm trying to convince myself...y the way.. I returned the MP3( i thought it about it ahrd and realized it wasn't necessary..I will make my daughter find the other one(easier said then done!! UGHHH!!!!) and the clothes from the other day, because I found ALOT of clothes I had forgotten I had in my closet while cleaning it out...hehehehe...:nervous ....

OHH MYY LORD!!!! i went to the see the surgeon today and am I excited or what!!!!:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: I got the results of my lab work and everything was great..I LOST 2 more POUNDS!!!!:clap2: A little fatty liver, but he said it wasn't to much to worry about. He said if I can loose 5 pounds before the surgery it would be great...So, now I am on a 2 Protein shakes a day and a "sensible dinner.." Liquids the last 24 hours before surgery (my choice to do) and LOTS OF LIQUIDS (as always)..... After my appointment I went over to BJ's (similar to Cosco) and bought the Adkins shakes chocolate and vanilla (I had a chocolate one (YUCCKK!!!!) They are NOT very tasty...so I have to keep the choc ones and return the vanilla...I guess we'll just have to try other things...At Bj's met up with my bestest friend and her husband and we went walking:faint: I MEAN POWER WALKING.. We did 2 miles and had to stop because I got dizzy (weird) I guess the excitement got to me.I ate some skittles (i think it was due to low sugars) and felt MUCH BETTER! We decided to call it a day and come home...I picked up my children from school and here I am...I will have some Crystal Lite Ice Tea/Lemonade and maybe do some excercises on my excercise ball! 10 days and counting!!!!
:sick Well, what can I say...I just got back from the MD and I am officially sick...:faint: I have a mean sinus infection :omg: !!! That was what my headache was from the other day... I am on Cipro (antibiotic) for 10 days. The good thing was I was weighed and I've maintained my loss!!!!!! I can't wait to hear what the surgeon will tell me on tuesday...:pray2: I hope this doesn't change anything!!! And to add to the stress, my husband left today on business and won't be back until thursday the 25th (the day before surgery:dance:) Well, what can I say... I will spend some time with my children, take my antibiotic and prepare for my surgery.
:biggrin1: Hello, Hello!!! Today is an AWESOME DAY!! I have my last appointment today with my surgeon....I have MANY quesitons and hope to get ALL the answers!! I'm hoping all goes well!!! I will update once I come back..I'm feeling good. I had a light breakfast and will have a shake before I go to see him. I'll write more later!! Wish me luck!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Second day of being on this site and feeling good about becoming part of this communtiy.What better day to start a journal than today? I have a massive headache but besides that I'm doing ok.I guess my addiction to the internet (no freaky stuff!!) keeps me from goin to bed. Nervous and a little scared would describe my thoughts regarding surgery...I have my last pre-op appointment with my surgeon on 1/16 and have a few questions to ask...On 1/23 I have my pre-op testing (blood work, xray and ekg) I'm a little upset because my husband (MY ROCK) won't be able to come to these appointments with me due to travel with work...:cry but, the bright side..he'll be home the day before my surgery and will be here to pamper me for the whole week afterwards. I guess that's a plus...Well, I've taken my motrin and am off to :pray2: , have some fat free:popcorn:and watch my shows...Ugly Betty is AWESOME!!!!! :clap2:
GREAT DAY today...My husband was home and we spend some time together during the day! No kids!!! YEAH!! We watched a movie, did the bills, and talked about everything. He is a little anxious regarding the surgery but i told him there is no need to worry. Our jorney has not been in vein and God wouldn't let it get this far for nothing! I am very excited. I have many questions for my MD and I hope to get them all answered on tuesday. I can't wait!!! I'll keep you posted!
