gone 4 ever

Vent all you want hon. Ebony said it well how we feel. Good luck with the move Susan. I hate packing and moving. Don't know how military people handle it. It would drive me up the wall. I guess because ex-hubby and I moved a lot.I have been in same home 13 yrs. and the 1 before 16 yrs. I have no plans on moving again.

Where are you all staying at? I am in dire need of a cut! LOL just teasing. You all have fun and enjoy Guntersville.

Beth don't let her bring you down. You have accomplished a lot. I know it hurts because she is your mother. I can empathize with you because of similar experiences. Just do what is right for you and in no uncertain terms tell your mother you love her but to keep quiet about your schooling if all she is going to say is negative things. Just remember we are your extended family and we are proud of you and will support you. Good morning all. have a blessed day. Beth I have a mental image of you and plain on a bike know that is way to funny! 116 is awesome Mac. I am close to what I weighed in high school. 225, 16 lbs away. That is one of my goals is to reach that. Then I will be on my way to getting thinner. I want to be 125-135. My ticker says 170 (I think.) for my goal. That is my next goal to reach. I never really thought I could get lower than that. I have changed my mind a long time ago. Maybe I will get down to 115. I am extremely short, 4'10 1/2. So maybe I won't look like a skeleton. Now if I would quit bouncing and get to 239 I would be thrilled. Since my diagnosis I have been bouncing like crazy 241-243. Up down up down. grrrr. I think part of it is eating a little before taking some of my meds so it's not on an empty stomach. I don't want it sitting in an empty pouch.

Heartfire.....OUCH!!!! I am sorry. I have had a fingernail ripped off before. Thanks everyone. The dr. gave me 2 prescriptions that I can't get filled because his office visits went up. He set me up an appointment with an ENT that I will have to cancel because of the price.

So glad to hear that Tina. I pray you get the job! By the way I love the new pic of you!

So glad that your all right Ebony. Kinda had us worried. Sorry to hear about your friend, but glad she is OK. I'm going to my family dr. in the morning. Then I will see what he has to say. I will go from there. I have been hurting really bad today. Even the pain meds aren't helping much. Sorry if I am complaining to much.

Beth.....O.K. That takes care of your bottom, but what about your arms? Elbow pads help some but.... LOL

Happy Fathers Day fellas. Happy Birthday Lulu. Hope you have a good B-day. I thought Ebony was going on vacation in July. She is to silent. Never want to roller blade. I would be the one to fall and bust all my bones! Happy Sunday to everyone. have a blessed one.

:biggrin:

Thats great news Lulu! I love big dogs. I would like a GP if I had the land but I have a 3/4 acre lot. I want a wolf/husky hybred. We had one when I was growing up. His name was Poky. He was so sweet and protective. he would wait with me in the mornings for the bus and wait for me after school. he loved to ride in the wagon behind the tractor. He would also play with1 of our ferrets, Bugsy. They were so funny together. Then some jerk literally drove off the road and into our field and hit him and looked at my dad and laughed as he drove away. Dad wanted to kill the man. he checked Poky to see if he was alive (wasn't) then he took off for the house and got one of his riffles and went after the guy. But he was long gone. Dad never seen the guy before nor after.

Congrats Glou! Darn Lulu, we can't live vicariously though you now that your back home. Ex is loaning me some money. He even offered more than I asked for. So phone will stay on and I can make all the calls I need to. he even understands that I have no Idea when I will be able to pay him back. I want to see you in a dress with flowers plain! Ebony, I loved the quote for Glou. Have a good night everyone.

Thoughts and prayers are with you hon. I agree with what parrot said. just remember we are here for you.

Yay Beth. Prayers are with you to get the job. O.K. I must stay off the pain meds!:thumbup: I just called my ex-bf and asked to borrow money so I can keep the phone on for another month. I need it for Dr. appointments, but I have to have the money for them too! Every time I see him he tells me if I ever need anything to let him know. Well I let him know. He is supposed to come by about 7:30 tonight. Just shoot me now!

Ebony, I love the house! I always wanted a colonial 1800s home to fix back to glory days. Also on the job front. I agree with what everyone else is saying, that the new employers wouldn't want to talk to current unless they were going to hire you. Besides legally she can't say anything other than yes you work there, how long employed and if you would be eligible for rehire. If she says anything else and it keeps you from getting the job she would be in big trouble. Hello to everyone else. Have a good day and a blessed day. God is so good. Woke up with very little pain this morning. haven't been like that in weeks. Today is my youngest DGDs b-day. She is 3.

prayers for a quick healing and very little pain.

Welcome Lap. Good luck on getting your band.:w00t: Yeah you could change the name.:blushing: Still isn't to late. LOL

Apples congrats on your Bandaversary! Meredith, Boost has a good flavor, but It is to help you maintain weight, not lose it. I had boost and when I told My Dr. I had them he told me to be careful and not to drink them everyday because they are to help you maintain. So just use good judgment on them. I use a powder protein mix and throw it in the blender with frozen black cherries or other frozen fruit and sometimes add 1 tbs of SF pudding. Taste so good! The frozen fruit helps me to stay full longer. I wish you all the best! I have been done with Aunt Flo since I was 48. I am so happy I went through menopause early. Anyway after banding I had a little spotting 1 month and then I had a full blown period the next month and nothing since then. My Dr. said when we are obese our body sometimes acts like we are in menopause when were not. Then the band starts to straighten our bodies out and you start to have periods again. But I had been tested for menopause years ago when I first started having symptoms. I thought something was wrong. I know my mom started menopause early but never drempt I would also. But thank God I didn't go through it as long as she did! Any way the point I wanted to make was yes you could have periods all over the place until your body gets evened out.

Congrats Cherry! I pray you have an easy delivery. Congrats to everyone else. Who has had good news, baby is growing good, etc...

mmmmm...I just had some fried green tomatoes. I love them and had not had any since before I was banded last yr. I forgot how good they are!:wink:

CC...thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother during her procedures today. I know how rough it is on you not being there with her. remember it was a dream she had, not written in stone. Susan...that is so tragic! my prayers for any family members and friends to deal with this. Ebony....Good luck. prayers are with you to get the job! good morning everyone else. have a wonderful day today. I am going to start the process of disability. fun fun ...

You have to get over your stinken thinken! Or it won't work. Your friend didn't go in for fills. it won't work without fills! You have to decide what is right for you, not them. Good luck.

Tina, glad to hear that you made it through the day all right. each one will get easier. People probably didn't say anything because they were afraid it would upset you. Kinda like the outa sight outa mind concept. If you don't mention it then you don't think about it. Blessings to you Tina.

Any time now Cherry. You nesting (cleaning) so it should really be anytime. Congrats. Have someone post when you go in. Keep us posted OK? Oh by the way...boy or girl? Thoughts and prayers are with you hon.
