Dearest All Who's Reading,

I hope you are all doing great with your weight losses and support!! I am still hitting the job trail, still with no luck, but I'm praying and hope you guys out there are praying for me too. This is a very small town that I live in and there aren't many options besides fast food, which I am trying to avoid at all costs, but if it's all there is I will work there. I just don't think I'm strong enough yet to withstand that temptation.

Anyhoo, I'm getting sick , all the throat soreness, hoarse, coughing, stuffy nose at times thing. That's all it is luckily. I took my 2 year old to get his swine flu shot the other day. We had to wait in line for like 2 hours to get it, but he did. I haven't yet and still haven't decided if I want to. I'm in the age range to where I'm succeptable to contracting the virus, but it seems like everytime I get a flu shot I get the flu, and if I dont' get it, I dont' get the flu. But there's still time for me to get one if I change my mind and I am thinking about it guys, don't worry. :huh2:

I have a really awesome support buddy on here and I am so happy I met her. Her name is Sheila and we had the same surgeon, Dr. Swain of Murray, KY. We have been e-mailing each other almost every day or every other day seems like, and she is just the sweetest person. She supports me and answers alot of my questions and everything. I am very thankful for her online friendship, and soon to be in person friendship. We realized that our next appointment is scheduled for the exact same day, her's at one pm and mine at two fifteen. How cool is that? So she's gonna wait around a minute and I'm going to come early so we can meet each other. I'm completely psyched about it.

Well, overall I'm doing good. The weight loss has slowed down a bit. Mostly I think because I've been drinking alot of orange juice lately. I can't get enough of the stuff for some reason!! But it's chock full of sugar and I need to stop I know. I am trying, I promise!!

I'm gonna go, gotta get up in the morning and go job hunting again, go figure. Hope everyone is well and I'm praying for you!!

Sending Love....

That is wonderful you have found a buddy. I also have a co worker that was banded so she anwsers alot of questions however she has not done well with her band and doesnt follow instructions of her doc and eats and drinks what she wants any way it would be great to find some one like you have. good luck and God bless to both you.

Please email me after reading you blog post on October 26th that is about the last time I received an email from you I am getting worried about you because I have not heard from you in almost a month. I am sorry we missed each other at the Doctors office. I hope we get to meet in person very soon. I am looking forward to it.

your support buddy
