gone 4 ever

Heart... sorry about the crap your hubby and fellow co-workers have to go through with pay cuts and stuff. But yes he does have a job. Ebony...Sing it girl! Slim... We are family! I can't remember who posted this but they are right, Friends you choose, family you don't Good morning all

Tina you look fabulous! Hopefully you will have a good Fourth. Your friend is very lucky to have you as a friend. Take care. We miss you and love your girl.:tongue2:

WOOHOO road trip! Yes Yes Yes! Can you tell I am excited? Meet my friends!:biggrin: See new places I haven't been to yet! I have something to look forward to for next year.:redface:

B: protein shake (recipe I got off Kening off another thread) 1 cup ice, 1 scoop cho. protein mix, 1 pk. SF hot cho.,1 tbs pb, 2 pks sweetner, 1/2 c milk. Blend ( I put it on milk shake setting on my blender) YUMO L: 1/2 c green beans cooked in bacon grease (yeah I know) 3 oz loose hamberger meat 1 tsp Kraft mayo w/ olive oil 1/2 oz shredded chedder cheese D: most likely steamed zuchinni and yellow summer sqaush, onions and butter and lemon pepper w/cheese melted on it 2 slices of bacon 1oz colby cheese. S: Special K crackers and lf cream cheese

Does sound like a very aggressive fill. But I have a question. Were you very nervous before your fill? I was and after I had left I started hurting very badly. It had to do with nerves since I really didn't know what to expect. Make sure you do only liquids today. If your not better tomorrow call the dr. then and see about a slight unfill. Keep us posted.

Hey maybe we should invite PG to our get together!:redface: Kidding!!!I just thought of that because there is 1 other person that when I read her post on other threads she comes across as she is the only correct person. "Well I was told never", "I was told only" ect..... "You should never do that because I was told". It aggravates me because we all have been told different things. We voice our opinions. I think it is the way she types it. I don't think she means to be that way. maybe it's just me. I don't know.

This was just to funny! Maybe you should be a stand up comic. I agree with Ebony. A get together of PJTP people. I want to meat ya'll so bad. To me ya'll are like family, just a lot less headaches.:redface: i think via FB i was volunteered by SNT/Boo Boo Kity - which i'm totally fine with. She Smiles is coming & doing a US trip next june. that gives everyone enough time to get to goal, buy some fabulous swim suits and plan on coming to TX. oh & taps.......plane takes you up 13,000ft, not 3,000ft :wink5: That would be awesome Lulu. It seems like there are a lot of PJTP people in Texas. If your serious then maybe we should start to plan it. I should be straightened out by next yr.

Drink protein shakes between meals or get laughing cow cheese and special K crackers. 35 cal. for the cheese and 90 for 17 crackers. There are all sorts of things, but these are 2 of my favorites. With the cheese and crackers it is a total of 125 cal. and very filling. Good luck

LOL I like this one!

Beth Thank you for your kind words. Good luck with the job interview! Lots of thoughts and prayers are going up for you to get it! I like the idea Kat said about the vinegar. I forgot I used to pour it over my garbage bags to keep strays out of them yrs. ago. Do it. Explain to your sister that what you are doing. Just do it when the kid and daddy isn't looking! or spray them. LOL:rolleyes2: I pray your trip is safe and fun. Maybe it will work out for the best.

Your not on a liquid diet 3 days after surgery? You don't have a 2 week liquid, 2 week mushie, 2 week soft then regular food? Anyway, a lot of times you gain to begin with. You have gas in your body and the surgery and all. Sometimes you don't lose until you have some kind of restriction. You are in what is called bandster hell. Don't expect to hit the sweet spot with the first fill. sometimes it will take 5 or more fills to hit the sweet spot. I have had 7. I am at my sweet spot now. That doesn't mean you won't lose but you will have to think about what you are doing more than when you hit the sweet spot. Good luck with your journey and keep posting and reading

PNK...good luck with your journey. I had agreed with what Jachut said until I read your last post. Have him read on here and talk to him. Tell him He needs to listen to what you have to say. let him know your doing this for yourself, but needs his support. You will both have a better future. Put it like this, ask him if he wants to deal with all the health problems that eventually show up with being obese? because you will eventually get them. Does he want you healthy like him or a dibetic, or heart problems etc.... Let him know you chose healthy! With or without him.

I hear you Glou. I used to climb trees, jump out of haylofts. Climb down the TV attena to sneek out:wink2:. I used to want to skydive, Maybe we can do it together in the future! We'll just hold hands and let someone push us out of the plane. Any takers? LOL I have thought about adopting a greyhound. But I have cats. Right now I can't afford it anyway. All my dogs have been given to me so they wouldn't go to the pound. I don't have any dogs anymore. I miss them. But I have to have one that is kid and cat freindly. I still have to fence in my back yard before I get another dog.

Mrs. Mink ask your Dr about giving you one. he should have it. it just explains that you had WLS and you can only eat small amounts. So please let the person order from the child"s menu. I haven't used mine yet. The few times I have eaten out the kid's menu have junk foods that I don't want. I thought about trying it at a buffet. I miss buffets. Get a kids plate and pay kids price. Some days all I want is a big variety of veggies. I don't want to cook a bunch of veggies and waste them if I don't get them eaten soon enough. Sometimes I freeze them for veggie soup. But still it would be nice for someone else to do all the cooking.

That's some really good advise, even for people who don't have panic attacks. It might help with stressful situations that people tend to dwell on. Thanks.

Diva....we're gonna have a baby! Yay! Any time now. I pray for a quick and easy delivery and that you and the baby are fine!Keep us posted please.

Slim...I am hurting some but not super bad right now. Thanks for asking. I am also afraid of heights. I have a step ladder I won't get on hardly. It's sad when I want to go swimming at DD's home and can't get above the 3rd rung on the ladder for the pool! It's one of those big inflatable pools. I didn't become afraid until after I had my kids. When I lose some more weight I am going to try to fix that problem. How... I am not for sure yet. Beth...As far as the dog situation there really isn't anything I can add that hasn't been said already. If you decide to stay at a hotel just explain you love your sister but hate the dog and you are afraid of being bitten. I am sorry you have this stress about your vacation. It should be a worry free time, not one full of stress. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Are you sure we didn't have the same dad? LOL. We used to travel a lot growing up. We had Dodge vans. But dad could just say 1 word and we knew we would be dead meat! So traveling wasn't to bad because we knew if we acted up what would happen. So we didn't fight with each other and do the are we there yet thing. But our travels took us all over Canada and British Columbia. So saying are we there yet wouldn't really work! lol:tt2: What good memories.

Morning all. Talking about the 4th, they have already started celebrating in my neighborhood. They started shooting off fireworks last night about 9pm. My DGS's b-day is on the 3rd and they are having his party on the 4th. I am helping cook. He want's fried rice. My DD doesn't have the slightest idea how to make it. I have unusual GS when it comes to what they want to eat on their b-days. This DGS is going to be 6, my other one will be 10 at the end of July and he wants ribs. No pizza or hot dogs. LOL. But it is a tradition I started with my girls. I let them choose what they wanted to eat for their b-day dinners. Ebony, I pray you hear something today. I know your on pins and needles about the job. Are you driving or flying to Fl. for vacation? Susan how is the unpacking going? I pray everyone has a blessed day. I just want to say Thank you all for being my friends. One of these days I might meet some of you all. That would be awesome!

Glad you had a good b-day Lulu. Glou....hopefully it will turn out to be pretty much what you want in the end. I agree it is ridiculous about lights being an upgrade, that's kinda like a car with no engine, the engine would be an upgrade! I want to thank everyone for your concerns and prayers. I called the ER a few min. ago and I got a recording telling me that they can't discus anything medical over the phone. So asking a question is out. I would have to go there ask and pay the stupid $2.00 parking fee, and the $260.00 ER fee. You are automatically charged $260.00 just for signing your name on the roster. it doesn't mater if you are seen or not. If you get tired of waiting and leave to go to the other hospital you are still charged. But in order to get an answer they tell you that they can't answer that you have to see the Dr. So I guess I will go after work. I have to work today. I get my first paycheck today. Woohoo a whole whopping 15 hrs. Better than nothing. I hired in in between pay periods. SO I will post later and let you know how things are going. Everyone have a blessed day.

Way to go Jason. Also thanks for the information.

yes Ebony, Beth is a wise woman and so is Kat. Her reply made a lot of sense also. I can't sleep. I am in to much pain. My pain meds aren't helping at all. I wonder if I call the ER and ask if I come back in if I can get an emergency surgery since my arm goes numb more and so do my legs now. I also feel like I have an electrical current shooting through my arm at times. Hurts like a son of a pot licker! It might be the only way to get the surgery I need on my back. Then all I would have to worry about is the surgery on my thyroid. I would rather be in labor right now than this. My first 2 children I had natural and no meds or anything, that didn't hurt like I am now. I am sorry for crying again.

This sounds delish. I am going to try it for dinner. Not really hungry right now. Jason.....have any more plans been made for the get together? If so when is it? How much is it? Thanks hon.

Well vent here all you want to hon. We support each other. We are family in a way. Good luck with your Dr. appointment. Are you self pay or insured?
