do i can lust from afar!!!!

wish i had a kick ass hot trainer!!!!!1

I was banded on the 13th of July. It really is worth it, though I'm also at a standstill. I just keep reminding myself that I lost 11 lbs post up and 8 in the 2 wks after. Do you know how amazing that is! You lost 17 lbs! Seriously, that is a ton of weight! You should be proud! I too am hungry and can't get a fill until the 11th of August. After the first wk I was up doing whatever I wanted. I just didn't lift heavy or bend over a ton. But you will get better, and this will sooooooo be worth it! hang in there, you have a friend in me!

Rhonda, you are going to do great! You have been so much better at this than I am! Look at how much you have lost!!!! You are a wonderful person! Love you!

UG, what a day! I come home from church to check on the puppies, who are in my garage. We have 11 of the little rascals. Well, Spirit, one of the moms, has diareah!!!!!!!!! In the playpen and out! My family hadn't gotten home yet, but I had to do something! I got the puppies out of the playpen and put them on the grass. I then moved the playpen on the grass and put the puppies back in the playpen. By the way, they are ALL covered in poop and pee! So I get my power washer out, had to lug it clear up the steps from the back yard, and i couldn't get it started! Ok, slow down Ruth, you can do this! So I went in and washed my hands. Took a drink of water, by the way, moving puppies several different times is GREAT exercise! No need for a treadmill today!!!:sneaky:

Anyway, I came out and filled the power washer with gas! Well don't you know, we all need gas now don't we!!!!!!:thumbup: It started right up! Well, while I was washing out the garage, I accidently sprayed the wall of the garage, and wouldn't you know it, poop went spraying all over me, the wall, Kevin's motorcycle and who knows where else!:thumbup: OK RUTH, YET AGAIN, YOU CAN DO THIS! By this time the puppies are crying because they have never been on grass before and they are miserable with all the poop on them. So I decided to take a break from washing the garage and I stood far away and started power washing my puppies!!!!!:sad::tt2: Yup you can guess what happened! They all just looked at me like I was crazy. Then, all of a sudden, they were sprinting over to be the one in the water! I was laughing so hard I ACTUALLY peed my pants! Yup, I didn't think it would happen, but I guess the phenomina does happen! Well, so I felt better, the puppies were somewhat washed, and I could go back into the garage. Well, I forgot that my new Yukon Denali was infront of the garage! Yup, you guessed it! SHIT everywhere! Plus, my car is white! Ok by this time, I just couldn't help laughing. By this time, my girlfriend drives up and is wondering what is going on. She looks at the car and thinks outloud why the hell am I laughing at shit on my car! I just kept laughing and power washed my car. Well, so it's too hot outside for the pups, so we decide to move the pups in the backyard in the shade. No one would touch them because they are wet and still a little poopy. So, yup, you guessed it, I had to take all 11 puppies out by myself while my hubby took the playpen out for me. I think I burned 5000 calories today!:tt1:

The funniest thing, well actually not, but to me it is. While the pups were still out front, I had 2 people drive up and want to buy a puppy!!!!!!!:thumbup: I told them they couldn't go for a couple more wks, so they will be back. Maybe I should keep them in the front of the house with a big sign saying, "AKC SIBERIAN HUSKIES FOR SALE $350 EACH". What do you think! lol

Anyway, I hope this brings a smile to your face when you read this. Have a good day! Hope you like the pictures. I just took these last night of the babies to put on puppyfind and rollanet.

AHHHHHHHH there is hope! I'm freaking furious with my body. I'm hungry all the time, and can eat ANYTHING! Thank you for posting that it won't last forever!!! I'm 2 1/2 wks post surgery. Thanks a lot!!!!!

What did Tom do this time? Was it a week yesterday???? I completely forgot! I'm so sorry! HAPPY BANDIVERSARY!!!!! It's just going to get better from here on out! I actually think you are exercising too much! I know that seems weird, but you need to let your body rest after surgery!

follow your nutritionist diet plan. She knows what you need!

HA HA made you look! Sorry, had to say it!

Anyway, me and Kevin took a trip to texas over the weekend. I gained 5 lbs. Anyway, we got home Monday, today is Thursday and I'm back down to my pre-Texas weight!!!!:thumbup::tt1::sneaky:

HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, have a good day everyone! I sure as hell will

Side note, I actually exercised today. I walked a mile in 20 min, not as fast as I used to be, but I did it!

wow, you go girl! I'm praying I'm there some day! You deserve to paaaaaartttaaaaaaa

I use MIRILAX! I use it every day in my protein shake! Trust me it works!!!!

I THINK you guys were right, it was water weight! I woke up this morning and lost 4 lbs! I guess I didn't do too bad. I definatly didn't eat 3500 caleries. I'm still kinda pissed at the nurse, but what do you expect from the beampole! They can't think fat!

ARB and I were talking today. I find it really interesting what different docs call "mushies". Our mushies, we both go to the same doc, is actually soft foods. We can have deli meat, tuna, soft and moist chicken, veggies that are super soft. I find this stage is much easier because we have lots of choices. I hate the no choices like the pre-diet.

I've been doing a lot of soul searching after this weekend. (that's all I've thought about)I have lived most of my life on bad choices. This weekend, I did eat too much, but they were good choices, for the most part. I have also learned that I need to listen to my body, that is the hardest part! I've never done this before. This isn't like a diet that you screw up and your done! I'm making my life better along with my family. I want to see my kids when they get old. I want to see my grandkids, when they come.

Thanks to friends, I think, no I know I can do it! There are people on here who are mean and cruel, but for the most part every person I've met here are amazing and funny.

The funniest thing I've heard is from Stacy. She said one day that her brother rubbed ehr belly. I was like shit your a budda! She laughed and said maybe she should not have the surgery and charge for people to rub her belly for goodluck! LMAO! It's great attitudes like this that I need!

I'm changing my life!!!!!!:thumbup:

I'm changing my life!!!!!!:thumbup:

OMG! I decided to call my doc and ask if there was anything I could do. While over the weekend, I was really good, but I ate real food. I freaking gained 5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that? Anyway, the nurse said, this is her exact wording, "You need the just have some self control! We won't do a fill before a month anyway!" She gave no ideas, no help at all!!!!!:cursing::thumbup:

I feel so dejected! This is how every diet went for me. I lose and lose and feel great, then one day I screw up and it's hard to go back. That's the end!

I have been sooooooo good! I got more than I needed of my water in, I had grits for breakfast, my 2 shakes, soup for lunch and then chicken and rice for dinner.

We bathed all 12 puppies today. It was a line up, I washed and the kids each took puppies to dry. It was so funny to see who liked the water and who hated it. We took Iluq and swam with him today! It was so funny. He jumped and screamed at first then after awhile he would just come in on his own. So cute!

Yesterday, Saturday, we, my husband and I, drove down to Texas to come see a new puppy that I want. It was an 8 hr drive. We had so much fun talking, listening to music and just dream talking. I love going for drives with him, I have his undevided attention.

This morning, we went and saw my sweetheart! OMG is he absolutly beautiful. He's silver and white with bi-eyes. He is totally the love of my life! We left him with her and since we have never been to Texas before and we were so close to Dallas, we decided to spend the day there. We went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It was so amazing! We even got to meet Nigel what's his butt from animal planet. He's from australia. Anyway, we had lunch in the same place and my husband got his picture taken with him. The aquarium was amazing. We spent 4 hrs there!

Tomorrow we are going to pick up my baby and head home.

Food has been a problem. I have tried to be good. I have eaten protein first, but the portions are bad. I have no restriction, so I can eat anything. I will be glad to get a fill ASAP! Guess we will find out tomorrow what the damage is! :thumbup:

I miss talking to everyone! It will be good to get home and back to normal, but the time away with hubby was priceless!

Oh, another yucky topic. Ok, so I have been pooping, not as much, but still. Anyway, it's almost like my poop is acid. My butt burns even after i wipe, then my butt hurts all day till I bathe and soak my butt. Don't know what to do about it. Gross I know, but you all should know by now that pooping and farting are one of my favorite topics!

love to all!!!

Ok, so I've basically started already. But officially I'm going on soft food, yay for me!

My swelling is down, so I have zero restriction, and I can eat ANYTHING! Which is really really really bad!

I'm going to call and see if I can get an early fill or something. I'm even pooping on regular intervals, which isn't a bad thing, just odd because everyone else has problems.

Farting is GREAT! I just keep blaming my surgery and the kids buy it!:smile: Isn't it great to blame something like that on surgery? I think so!

I finally broke down and told my mom that I had surgery. I was shocked, and I mean shocked at what she said. :eek::thumbup:

She said she was proud of me for doing something good for me! She was so happy! She is one who I was scared to tell. She never approves of anything I do. When I went and started breeding huskies, all she and dad said is, "I'm glad your husband loves you.....he's a saint". So, as you can tell, I didn't want to tell them. Well mom called and told me dad wasn't doing well. She is planning his 80th birthday and wants all 7 kids there as a suprise. So we are flying out Aug 6th-9th. I will still be on mushies so I wanted to warn her. I'm glad that's over with!

Anyway, love to all and Stacy, I hope you all the best and you feel better real soon! Rhonda...... you rock! I'm proud of you for not throwing up your hands and saying, just take it out already!!!!!!

love you!

This isn't a very good picture, but she's adorable!

PHEW!!!!! What a week for you! I'm so relieved you are feeling better! I was also ticked off that I was losing weight but my pants were tight! My hubby said the swelling is the issue. It finally is going down!

We are in this together! Don't give up!

I spent half the day talking, well texting, to Kevin while at work. He finally conceeded and we got a baby girl puppy. This weekend, we will get a male! We are going to sell our black and white female.

He agreed to try breeding one more time with puppies this time. Ha no not breeding till they are older. Puppies are just a lot of work! That's why we have been getting older huskies.

My weight is the same today. I did nothing most of the day. I woke up feeling under the weather, so I have THE best kids and the older ones watched the babies till noon!

We decided to pay the 2 older kids 10% of puppy sales and the babies 5% of the sales because they help and this will give insentive to keep helping.

Stacy had surgery today! I look forward to hearing from her. Rhonda had her bandiversary today! Thank goodness she is alive and well. I was worried about her all wk. I THANK GOD I felt better than that! Sorry Rhonda!:smile:

Have a good night everyone!

Oh wait! Found a new food!!!! Panera Bread FF Black Bean soup! Yummmmmmoooooooo!

Rhonda, men suck! lol but we love them anyway!

currysusan! Seriously vent all you want!

Rhonda, I'm so sorry!!!! I sure hope you feel better! My heart is with you!

I'm so furious with my husband! i love him so much, he's just so infuriating! I have wanted a palm pre so bad! He said that when I had enough cash I could have one! I have $300 in cash from puppies and he said no! I sound like a kid I know, but I'm freaking furious! We fight all the time about breeding the huskies. I'm so tired of it! I think I'm going to sell both my females and all the puppies so we just have our min. pom and call it good! Having puppies, which has been a life long dream.... isn't worth having when all me and Kevin do it fight fight fight!:smile:

I just want to buy SOMETHING without having to ask! I know we are trying to get out of debt! I understand that we have over $80,000 of student loans to pay off. I understand that we have a budget! But this is exactly why I wanted to breed huskies, so I could have the cash to do with what I want. Granted, they cost money too, kennel, male dog, food, vet....on and on! We will make over $3800 on all our 11 puppies. You would think he could spare $300 for a phone! He said puppy money was mine. Then he renegs when I want something. He figures all that money will go back into account for all I have spent on dogs. I just want to scream, shout, and bitch, bitch, bitch:cursing::cursing::thumbup::cursing:

I want my own life at times! I want somethings for me! Why do I have to put my family first ALL the time!???????? I'm tired of being an adult! I love my family and tomorrow i will feel different, but right now i just want to scream and vent! :thumbup::cursing::smile:

Oh, side note..... I've lost 2 more lbs!

One week ago today I did something that changed my life! I have had my ups and downs, ins and thank goodness outs, but I'm so thrilled I did it. It's a dream come true to lose 17 lbs in 3 wks. 2 wks of liquids and 1 after surgery.

Yes, I can sleep on my sides, and it's a dream come true!

I'm sooooo bad, so don't tell anyone, but I celebrated my bandiversary by eating an egg. Yup! I did it and no I don't regret it!

My healing is going great! My only site that hurts in my port site. And I think it still hurts because my pants are right on that stupid incision! My only problem now, is like yesterday I sat up at the movie theater, Harry Potter of course, and when I scrunch down it feels like I'm bending my belly in half, so I had to switch positions a lot! Oh well, prices to pay to see a great movie!

Oh, poop alert! Yup, I pooped again! Kinda weird to look forward to pooping. Feel like I'm potty training my kids again. I came out of the bath room and raised my hands up and said to everyone, "Congratulate me, I freaking pooped!" My 2 teenagers were rolling on the ground, thank goodness no friends were over, and my 2 little ones just rolled their eyes! I even texted Kevin, my Sweetheart, and told him. He was so proud! :smile:

I sold another puppy tonight. My goodness can't believe how fast I'm selling them and i haven't even started advertising them yet. This one was only 3 wks old, so they will have to come back, but they were thrilled! I think I attached a picture of him. Guess we will wait and see!

Sleep well, one and all!

Wow, today is Sunday, well Monday but I'm posting for yesterday. Today I had to go to church, so I wore a bra allllll day! My incisions are high, one is under my breast. Bras hurt like HELLLLL! I finally came and and threw that puppy OFF! I am free and happy!

I got in all my water, and food and protein. Ummmm......weird but I have no funny anicdotes. It was just a good day. My gas is coming out constantly. My son is jealous! I can fart louder than he can! I'm so proud!

I think what has helped is we have 2 female siberian huskies who both gave birth a week apart. I am up and down with them all day. Pups are worth it because they are freaking hillarious, but I definatly get my exercise in. .

Happy farting one and all!:thumbup::thumbup::smile:
