I miss the thread...love the emails, but the thread was fun too! Hope everyone is doing well! Pamela

The Violets have left the building...we are still going strong...just going strong somewhere else! Peace out peeps, live large and healthy!

Hi girls~ I couldn't respond to the thread and was getting mad...then realized I was not logged in! haha I will be on stage 2 until thursday, I think he'll advance me. Not really feel I am ready to eat more, but I think 1 scrambled egg or mashed pots sound good. I am very comfortable after 4 oz of Soup or protien milk. Kinda get a bit nauseated after I drink the milk, but the soup works good. I get sick for about 1-4 min and then feel fine! In about 2 months I am completely on regular food (maybe less time), just about a 1/4 of normal portion, if that. Day is going ok. Points of fatigue...moments of dizziness...but all in all a good day! Pamela

Hey girls~ We got the tree and house done...and I am going to work! I had great energy yesterday...well bouts of it! I worked really hard on the tree, almost too much. Then I had a few bites of yogurt and felt better. I gotta remember that I am getting used to this caloric intake. DRUMROLL: 257.0 this am!!! And the jeans I am wearing are buttoned and actually rolled down. hahahahaha...I am so excited. If you want me to shut up, please let me know. I just never did well w/ the band so to finally see results is exciting! Michelle, are you ready to get the kids back to school. We only have 3 weeks (15 days) until vacay! Jane, I am glad you took some time for yourself. That is the only way you will heal. What movies did you see? Judy, what happened now w/ the car? Did you drive it this weekend or tow it to the shop? Do you have another car? Haydee, how was your double whammy Turkey Day? Laura, how was your holiday? I am not sure what I was thinking but we are having a holiday cocktail party Friday night. From 5-8pm, appetizers and cocktails and we've invited a ton of people (like 50). It is more of an open house, people in and out, then off to do their thing. I can't eat or drink anything...but it is about the friendships and I am looking forward to it! OK girls...have a great day! xoxoox

Hi Girls~ 259 this am. I haven't seen that 5 in years!!! Remember, the LOWEST I ever saw was 249, and that was for one day, for one minute! So, I am very happy. Feeling stronger and stronger. I get tired easy, but that is to be expected from 4 hours of anesthesia. I am up and showered already. I think I will go to church today. I am still thinking about school tomorrow. I don't want to waste my sick days if I can make it. I know I can be home after school and have very little on the calendar the next few weeks. I hope to have the tree decorated today. It is up...but nakey! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. You know me, I just LOVE when this month ends. I am in the Christmas mood. We don't want much under the tree...just the warmth of the season in our new house! Love you guys... xoxo

Morning girls~ Jane, how is the foot? Did you go to the doc? I think if you get quick medical attention you might prevent more trouble later. I am on stage 3 liquids (full) at least until Thursday. Creamy soups, protein shakes, pudding. Works for me. I like the 4 oz of soup...perfect fill. I need to drink more, but you know how that goes. DRUMROLL: 260 this am!!!:Banane05::Banane10::Banane14::Banane16::Banane20: WAIT...DOES THAT 4TH BANANA HAVE A BONER? hahaha Michelle, sorry you are sick. But at least you have all that work behind you and you can be sick on the couch now, and not stuck in a kitchen. Off to make a shake. I made cinnamon rolls for Susanne this morning and the house smells great! Have a great day! xoxo

Hi girls~ LOVED Burlesque!!! What a treat! I am a huge long time Christina fan (can't argue, girls got major pipes)...and she was fantastic! UPDATE: I posted earlier that I was 277 when I came home from hospital. Now I am 263! So now...we are in the losing zone! I just had 3 oz of protein milk and feel good! WOOHOO! We went through Carls Jr (lovelovelove Carls) for Susanne to get the new chix strips. OMG the smell was wonderful. Earlier I smelled food outside the movie and it made me sick. This made me drool. The milk made it all better! haha...now she is eating marzapam from Germany! jealous for sure!

Hi Girls~ Had a much better night. I finally laid down flat on the couch and slept pretty good. I'd been using the recliner and was dying to lay down. Woke up 2x and peed but just got up and it is almost 7! I will take a shower today (first one since Monday, except the whore's bath in the hospital, lol). And we are going to the movies at 10:20! That will probably be my only outing today...but I am ready. When I got home I was UP 15 LBS!!! I went in at 262, and was 277 when I got home. Everything I read said DON'T WEIGH YOURSELF UNTIL AFTER A WEEK HOME...but I did. I am full of saline and gas still, pee'ing all the time. So, I will weigh again before the shower, but am not counting "a loss" until after I get back to 262. Not really expecting much for a couple of weeks. Judy, sucks about the car accident...but yes, so glad everyone is ok. Someone died here last night hit by a car...that is so sad! Have a great day girls! xoox

OK..thanks Judy! You helped me figure it out! I am trying to get some protein in...but 2 small sips and I feel stuffed. We've just watched tv all day and relaxed, between my naps (plural). Susanne put up the xmas tree...I like it! Not used to the fake tree, but am loving having it up on Thanksgiving, instead of waiting for the 15ish. Judy, loved the pic of the day before w/ the whole gang! Haydee, enjoy your two holidays! Next year, they can come to your house (and bring food)! Laura, Jane and Michelle, what were you doing for turkey day? Waiting for the bloat to pass...wish me luck! xoox

Cant figure out how to post a post w/o it being a reply and attachedd to someone elses posts. Had a good night, up and down on the couch. I am supposed to move to full liquids today, but am having trouble. I took some yougart, added protien powder and blended it, but i feel sooo full. I took one small bite and feel stuffed. I am still very gassy...every time I pass gas, I make room...ugg....anywya hope everyone has a great turkey day! Any black friday shoppers? be back later.

HI GIRLS...I am not sure how I post something. Anyway, I am home, sore w/ gas but am farting and burping!!! WOOHOO~ Love you...talk to you later!

fuck...i didn't pass I've just requested the funding for the retake...glutton for punishment!

Morning girls~ had a complete meltdown last night. Minimal calories, National Board scores pending, dad's passing 2 yrs ago Sunday, surgery Monday, teaching, having 33 papers to grade this weekend...omg, it is too much. It all hit at once, and I don't have the caloric intake to handle it. Crying now, just thinking about the stress...need to just get through the day. not much else going on...wish me luck!
