My son had a good night and is still snoring away. The lab came and drew blood so when the surgeon comes I will know what the plan is. I pray that he can go home. I DO NOT want to spend another day in a hospital! And im pretty sure he doesn't either. I miss my dogs! I called home and talked to my "Boo", one of the Yorkies. My daughter said he just ran around in circles wagging his tail at full speed. I think he misses me too. Thanks for being so great and giving me support. You are all awesome!

Thanks Pebulz! Glad you are feeling good and having a ball. ENJOY IT!

Thanks Kelli for the support! As for you my friend, dont be so hard on yourself! This is still new to all of us and it is a huge life change. We arent going to change the eating habits we had for years in just a few short months. One slip up doesn't define our success! Learning to deal with emotional eating changes I think is going to be the hardest. I wasnt a huge emotional eater so I dont have any personal advice. You need to find a substitute for food when you are down, something that makes you happy. Pick yourself up and smile. You WILL get used to this all and find ways to deal. I have faith in you Kelli! Hugs!

Going to sleep now while he is!

Two pieces of turkey lunch meat with colby cheese. Nothing else in the cafeteria looked good. The only other thing I had today was a shake. Didnt expect to be stuck in hospital for two days! Back at it good tomorrow!

Thats enough to stress anyone out. Sorry that happened to you. We are all food addicts I think. Im glad you were able to move past it. Having a slim trim healthy you will be so much better than the 15 minutes of joy from having the chocolate. Keep it up girl!

Thanks. Im so relieved. Ive been so stressed out. Now I can stop worrying and focus on getting my back better.

My son just got out of surgery and did well. He was massively infected and had alot of pus. There may be a blockage further down which the bloodwork tomorrow will show. Then it is off to madison for a special test and then ?? Forgot to ask. If not he can probably come home. Im so bone tired and ive eaten shit the last two days. Hope I lose some more pounds! Thanks all.

I took celexa and loved it. My insurance didnt cover it and I couldnt afford it so switched to effexor and it works good.

Surgery in about hour and half, 3pm here. Hes ready to get it over with! I got something that made my month; they FINALLY approved my LTD! should get a check by the end of the week! Let me tell ya, that news really takes a load off of my shoulders! Thanks for all the support! I honestly get more on here than in my "real life" here!

Thanks so much Krystal!

Surgeon just left. He will be having it removed early afternoon. Also having a scope to check for stones in all the ducts since liver labs are still way off and pee looks like coffee. Even the whites of his eyes are yellow. At least the pain is less today. Please keep us in your thoughts. And thanks! You are all awesome!

Still in beaver dam hospital. Didnt have to go to madison, at least not yet. Ultrasound showed no stone in the duct, so they think somewhere else may be blocked. The surgeon finally came at 1115pm! He is very busy tonight! Gonna order bloodwork for the am to see where things stand. May do surgery, or send to madison to have a different test they dont do here. He is sick, and nauseous, and uncomfortable. The pain medication is making him crabby too. Hope we get alittle sleep! Thanks for the concern. You guys are great!

STILL in the er!. They had to another ultrasound, and then he will be transferred to a Madison hospital. He needs another test of his pancreas and all the ducts. This is because his liver function test came back way out of whack. What a long day. Its hard watching a child in pain, even though he is 22, and 6'4". He is still my little boy!

Bad day. In the er with my son. He will be having emergency gallbladder removal shortly. Please send prayers our way.

Awe...sorry you're down. I know the feeling. Hope things get better soon. Keep you're chin up my friend!

Congrats! You look awesome!

I take it every other day. Im on narcotic pain medication, so I need it. Everyday is too much for me.

I bought a cheap front hook bra from walmart. Was comfortable to sleep in as well when I was there.

They look great! Gonna order the sample pack right now!

This is me before surgery and after. Sooooo glad the double chin is going away! [ATTACH]3947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]3948[/ATTACH]
