Welcome back! Congrats on the new you! Now, post some of those great pictures you had taken! We wanna see! :)

Wow, I leave for a little bit and everyone comes here!:clap2: :welcomeB: Kari - Why did it take you so long to get here? Beanie - I just know they are going to approve you this time. I have it all crossed for ya!:gluck: I loved the pictures you posted! Now that nephew looks like he is having some fun! I am not sure when I will hear about the job, but she told me (yesterday's interview) she hoped to make a decision by Friday. She said she would let me know either way. Keep your fingers crossed for me too! Eileen - Good luck on the review! :gluck: I haven't had to do those for many years, but if I get this new job I will have them back again. :cry Anne - I would go crazy if I had to spend 24 hours a day with DH! I don't know how you do it! Weekends are plenty to spend that long with him! :caked: I'm with you on the celebrities and wls. Who gives a hoot! I don't tell anyone about my surgery, they have the right to do the same. I just think it's great that they can lose. :clap2: I am not jumping today, I just got my hip feeling better, so no jumping off the soap box, but I'll jump up in down in small jumps!:Banane56: :lovechoc: Patty - What a nice compliment from the kids! :biggrin1: Now, if I would go back to sleep now, I would be up all night!:notagree Cindy - I wish I could remember what my Mom used to use for that, but it took it away pretty fast. She mixed up some old remedy and we washed our eyes with it. HMMMMMMMMMMM I'll keep trying to remember. Well, I went out to go for a walk and it was still chilly so I went to the post office to mail my thank you letters. There was a girl there in a tank top and shorts!:omg: I am in jeans and a sweat shirt! So, I guess it is time for me to attack the cool and go. I'm like Beanie, I don't like this cold chit!:heh:

I love them all! So many cute ones, I don't know which one to use first!:clap2:

Good Morning! Cindy - What a pleasure to see you here first thing in the morning! No, pink eye is a term used back up north where I was from. I had it once back when I was young in school. Hope you feel better soon, it is not fun to have!:cry Sherry - Sorry about DH Grandmother. You are right, not a good way to start the new year. Gosh there are so many neat smilies that I don't know which one to use first!:omg: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: Got so busy I haven't ate anything yet! My belly is growling now! I want to try to walk again today so I best get moving around before I fall asleep, I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and now I am very sleepy!

I agree, you need to contact your doctor. You might be just too tight, but if you can't keep food down you need to call and make an appointment soon.

Oh Penni that is great news! What a relief that must be for you!:clap2:

Great post, thanks!

I had a hiatal hernia too which was fixed during surgery. :clap2:

Sending prayers his way!

Start reading everything you can about the surgery. There are lots of threads here telling you how peoples surgery went, what to expect, what to eat and more. A lot of us have actually posted exactly how the surgery was done. Once you do a good research you will feel better about the surgery. You will be nervous, after all it is major surgery, but it is only normal to be a little scared and nervous. It's just when you know what to expect, things are not so scary. Good luck and keep us posted.

Whooooo Hoooooo! That's great!:clap2:

Probably wouldn't hurt if you make sure and follow it with lots of water! How about using some oragel or something like that to help numb it?

Welcome to LBT! Just jump right in and start posting with us! Glad to have you aboard!:clap2:

I can eat anything!:hungry: I only choose not to eat bread and rice. I only do it because of the calories. If you can eat it, by all means if you want it eat it. No two people are alike! All I can tell you is to experiment! If you try something twice on two separate occasions and it doesn't go down good, then you probably won't be able to eat it.

Glad you are feeling better. I agree with Alex, you really do need to get some protein in you, even if it is liquid for right now. Hopefully you can start eating hard protein in a few days.

Welcome to LBT! There is a lot of valuable information here just for taking the time to read it. Good luck in your journey and I'll look forward to your posting with us.

Great NSV! Keep up the good work!

If you are following the banster rules, protein first, then veggies, then carbs if room and not losing weight, then you need a fill. If you aren't following the rules, then try following them and see if you lose or not. Hope that helps you!

Glad to hear that!

This same diet was out a few years back, and I did try it. It didn't work for me, but who knows it might work for you.

That sucks! I hope they aren't going to charge you for it again too!

Good Afternoon Y'all! Well, the interview went well I think! It is a very good job, I would be doing the accounting for two companies so it would be a busy job, but I like staying busy! They have good benefits so that is a plus too! I liked the gals in the office, real down to earth type. She showed me "my office" (that is what she said) and it was really nice with one side all windows! She said she would try to make a decision by Friday, so we'll see. She kept telling me she wanted someone with my experience and some one stable and she kept saying with my years at the same place was empressive! Now I will just have to sit on pins and needles and wait! I finally got off my butt and went for a walk today. I haven't been for a long time, too much holiday stuff going on then cold weather, and any excuse I could think of. So, today is warm, sunny and no excuses so off I went. I could certainly tell it had been a while since I went! Talk about feeling out of shape! Guess that tells me to get my arse in gear and start this walking routine again. I wore jeans and a short sleeve shirt, but wished I had worn shorts, I was getting a little warm by the end of the walk! Cindy - I have been stuck for a long time! It's my own fault though, not exercising and nibbling on stuff I shouldn't. I started back on track today, so we'll see what happens. I don't cook for a whole week, I cook each night though. But that is all I do, cook clean up and park my butt! I do my cleaning/laundry on the weekends. Of course when I am home, I do a little more during the week so I can play more on the weekends. Patty - How neat that Dr. Phil was there. Glad you enjoyed it so much. I must say you are a saint. If that box was sitting there by me, it would have been opened the day it arrived. Opps, I didn't realize it was for you, I didn't even look at the label since you don't get mail here anymore! Yup, I sure have to open it up and take a look. It probably isn't much of anything, but I would just have to know for sure!:laugh :laugh :laugh Dianne - We left all our winter stuff too when we moved here. I don't even buy sweaters anymore, I just don't get to wear them enough here. I go for the long sleeved shirts etc. Gosh, I have been hungry for some home made chili, was going to make a pot and didn't. Now you have me wanting some again. Eileen - You must be a busy bee today! I bet you have a lot of catch up work waiting for you. Beanie - How was your weekend? I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you! Pat - You need to get DH to take a picture of you on that Harley! We wanna see! Well, guess I best get something done around here today. I have some thank you letters to get in the mail, so I best get those composed! Later!

I have had 6 fills at $200.00 each, one unfill at $200.00, I go to the doctor every 6 weeks at $90.00 per visit. No insurance so I pay it all, and I was a self pay at approximately $20,000.00. Pretty darn expensive!

He sounds like a very good friend. Good luck with your surgery, and make sure to keep us posted!
