Thanks gals i'm so glad to be back on track, stupid gall bladder was really messing with me I'm going to have some soup - i'm hungry Haydee, i have not even had a chance to Celebrate anything, I've been so sick since Thanksgiving, glad someone got to party for me :thumbup:

Hi guys I am staying home today, once i mentioned driving, company car, surgery - they understood...LOL Mom just ran to the drugstore for me and she said it was horrible out there. OK NOW MY SO EXCITING NEWS..... AFTER coffee AND Water AND MOVING I DECIDED TO WEIGH IN (WHICH IS USUALLY THE WRONG CHOICE) 199.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM OFFICIALLY IN ONDERLAND AND I'M NOT GOING BACK!!!! and I've been eating and satisfied.... I think my plateau had to do with that stupid gall bladder! for the first time in months, i don't feel like i need to take a pkg of gas x every time i eat this is going to be my year!

Are we there yet? I'm thinking that i'm not the only one who wishes we were leaving tomorrow!

Morning gals wow Terry - first accident, how scary -but glad he is ok Jane - (((HUGS)))) you remind me so much of my best friend, it will be ok ... just take it one day at a time... Kat - Congrats! and lots of purple prayers to Kinsey! Tracyk- i hope you are feeling better today - We are getting hit with another huge ice/snow storm. I am suppose to go to work and then the train station to get the guys, i don't think i'm supposed to be driving so i'm afraid to go get them, i have emails flying to everyone to see if someone else can go to the train station and i'm staying home. I was exhausted after 5 hrs of work and over an hr of driving yesterday and I have a full day tomorrow and have to be at work Friday when the guys leave

night everyone i'm done

I don't know if i'm quite ready for pumpkin soup but i'm interested I'm making another pot of ham and cheese because i know i can deal with that Terry - yes I'm very serious, i'm getting house happy. They are letting me pick them up in an ice storm tomorrow, how nice but i wanted to leave from home, so i'm hanging out waiting for Chris to come back to see what his plan is for the car, i'd rather take it home and go right to train station but at this point, i'm getting paid so who cares!

Is it june yet?????

Hi guys quick check in... i don't know what to do.... i'm not allwoed out of the trailer and now i'm being asked how i am going to the train station if i can't drive... I asked if they called my DR????? I have my post op visit on the 13th so hopefully will get a clear to be free except for lifting. They are killing me! I feel like just staying home tomorrow because they won't let me breathe.... although they did let me walk across the parking lot to use my port o pot, which i am shocked they didn't bring closer! how frustrating, and if i didn't work, i wouldn't get any pay, I can't do that either and as of right now i'm only going to have 16-20 hrs this week right back to the beginning

Morning gals Thanks for your advice, i just couldn't breathe - and the i got up and read my horoscope and it agreed with everything( how funny is that) I am going to tell him I enjoy his company but moving way too fast and i need to step back. nicely of course! I got to change my ticker this am! YIPEE!!! and i'm still really swollen and I got my monthly visit this am! I'm so happy, that means when my swelling is gone i should be in onderland! I'm so happy about that Off to get ready for work - going to go in at 8 and who knows what time im staying, maybe until 2:30 or so, short day for the first one back

oh and did i mention asking everyone in the area about me and driving by my house to check on me? I am not ready for this, no matter who it is i'm having a panic attack and don't know how to nicely say i like you but i need lots of space. i told him that i'm still semi invlved with kev and that he has been a big part of my life for 17 years so i'm looking to take things one day at a time, just didn't expect it to be every day breathe.... he has told his dd about me, his mother, his entire family and is talking to my best friend about us.... 2 hr ride and a diner..

I'm trying tracy We were talking again and he was telling me sometimes the guys go out after work to come down - and i said that is important, i do the same thing and my girl time is very important to me... and he told me that would be great if i called on the way to the bar and meet him there to unwind. I know crazy but i can't give up my me time, i can't be smothered i smell something burning got to get up

OMG so nice guy is so nice that i'm already going crazy HELP

Laura - that is funny Judy - - EWWWWWWW is right! oh potty training boys.. that was not as much fun or as easy as my daughter whho just did it at 11 months! i just had total 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and sauce mix i had after surgery - i'm su over full i can't stand myself and so bloated it was crazy here today - can't wait to go back to work tomorrow! on a happy note, i'll have counter tops and ovens by the weekend!

Morning gals i'm awake, took a pain pill at 4:41 so i went 10 hours, i'm going to try just regular tylenol today and see how that goes I'm home hanging with mom, she might drive me crazy - she is already working away and i'm home 1 last day to take it easy - so i can't get hooked into it - not suppose to pick anything up over 5lbs and i'm sticking to it Kat - I got a great box of hot chocolate things but the best part was my coffee mug with the picture TracyKS has as her signature - TRACYK has given me the gift of coffee with my violets every morning well i'm going to have a cup of coffee. I hope i can go to the bathroom, its been a week...

Night everyone i'm about to pass out - almost wish i could sleep in my recliner - waited way too long for meds going to stay home tomorrow I'm trying to watch dick and jane... i don't want to fall asleep, it is funny

Hi gals I just got back from a ride and dinner at my favorite diner with Wayne - Who's birthday is July 13th I know he has a wild side but is so good, a peck on the cheek when he dropped me off and respected that i came out with a long sleeve shirt that came up to my neck- i told him this is me for the most part and i am who i am. anyway - t all went well Tracy - that is good to know but i had a couple bites of eggs and i feel like my stomach is making strange noises anyway - i'm going to order dinner for the kids

I Second what Tracy says My ticker weight was at 203 and i was back to 204 today and know I am still so full of air and surgery stuff that I could not even get my jeans buttoned up if i tried, so that is a great sign - hopefully will be into onderland when it is all gone i had a cup of soup for breakfast a cup of no sugar ice cream for lunch 2-20 oz glasses of crystal light everyone keeps telling me i'll be poopin' my brains out after i don't have a gb - I'm waiting for that to happen... will probably feel so much better - just took another pain pill... and a shower i think i'm going to take a drive later with the "date" - i've talked to him for hours everyday and he wants to take me out to dinner, but not ready so he has to go look at a job later - so he asked me if i wanted to go for a ride We have so much in common it is scary - silly things, like he loves nacho's and pulled pork - my 2 favorite things, (nachos sent me to the hospital last week) Tracyks - I told him about the pulled pork Nachos we had at hard rock! I make them all the time. He has a 14 year old daughter, doesn't want more kids but wants a girlfriend with kids, has a boat and rv and loves taking his daughter and any kids out to dinner and to be a part of life. Almost scares me.... oh and he is a Cancer - which is the sign i should be with. how ironic... and my bf's neighbor and pretty much my neighbor

Good Morning gals I guess i'm technically 2 days behind since i started Soup yesterday I am still bloated but getting there, down to 204 (-7lbs) since i got home. It amazes me how much that stuff makes you gain. I don't think I can get my jeans on yet so there is a few more lbs left. I didn't do much of anything yesterday and feel horrible today - I feel like my stomach is empty and someone is stabbing a knife right through it - all the other pain is gone. I might go to work for 1/2 day tomorrow to get payroll and some left over paperwork done - but not push it too hard. Jane Call your dr in the morning for the results - you need to get fixed too!

Laura I used a lb of sliced black forest ham (which was just about dbl) and chopped it up really small. I knew i couldn't stomach the tofu either.

Gina thanks for posting that - I saved it this time I wish i could do it right now with you all, but i'm happy that i could eat the soup, i'll start there. can't wait to get rid of the bloat so i know where i really stand night everyone just took more drugs so i can sleep

Wow tracy - that is impressive you did so well well, made the soup with extra ham... it was as good as i thought it was going to be... oh wait, i think it was better! Alex (DD) even loved it and said we should make it more often, it was quick and filling and really good she is so funny anyway, lets see how I digest this without my gall bladder Terry - can you post the link for the plan? I lost it being gone for so many days and didn't save it in my favorites

I have to take my decorations up to the attic but they came down last week Terry - i am taking my old drugs - have not even filled the new ones yet I lost 4 of the 10lbs already, can't wait to see what it ends up being when i get rid of this my neighbor is getting me carrots and cheese so i can make Soup, i'm actually hungry and want some, either that or i've just been thinking of it all day all the tax commercials, i can't wait to do mine, i might actually get a return and get my self 100% caught up

Thanks Tracy my neighbor is heading to the store and going to get me broth and carrots, that is all i'm missing. I'm going to dbl the ham, kids will eat it that way too I need pain meds, i went 8 hrs and think that was way to long i'm going to nap...

I don't know if I was unifilled at all, it was not discussed, but my egg is not getting stuck - going down slow but not stuck, i bet my insides were so swollen that it was causing problems with my band, i have not been able to choke anything down without getting stuck for 3 months and have not had a fill since right before our trip. For those who made the soup. You have to use Tofu? or what can you sub for that? It i so cold out, and how nice my neighbor's son in saw snow blowed for me... and date guy offered to come up and help me out if it needed to be done again today - and take me anywhere i needed to go

Thanks gals I think im going to take my water pill this morning, I'm the same as you Tracyks - i can drop 5bs from drinking. this is beyond, my feet and fingers are not puffy but my belly is so i'll take a pill and drink tons, even though i had iv fluids nothing was allowed in my mouth except a couple ice cubes for 4 days i might go for a little walk, i have to get the gas to move i just installed my new wireless printer so i'm going to print the ham and cheese soup. i'm so excited
