Pat you suggested it however I am the one who decided to eat it for 2 1/2 days straight lol....it just tasted so darn good and filled me up!! I had a can of pureed chunky soup vegatable... SO im good. hahahah. I will limit myself to chili maybe once a week.

Ok so I talked to Donna and she knocked some sense into me lol... I have been eating a lot of chilli and guess what.....my pain is GAS!!!! I took 2 gasx and I am all good now!! PHEW! Man this sure is a learning curve. So needless to say im gunna lay off the chilli for a while lol. Cant wait to see everyone tomorrow.... I miss you all so!!

Ok the aches are back and my chest is tight. UGH I called Richmond to talk to my surgeon but he isnt there today so they said if it gets worse call my pcp. I just want to go home and take a nap...

Thank you Lee back at ya!! The aches have gone away since I started my h20. IDK what the deal was with that must have been the way I was sleeping. Still have a sore throat tho so i will keep an eye on it.

Good Morning everyone!! TGIF!! I am so glad today is Friday. I woke up this am at 3:45 with major body aches, I couldnt fall back asleep at all because I couldnt get a position where my body didnt hurt. I dont know if I am getting sick or if I just pulled a muscle. My throat is hurting and so are my ears so I may be getting sick IDK. I am going to go home take some vicoden and go to bed. UGH. my weight is a little stalled right now, probably because I am eating thicker stuff. Oh well I havent been walking like I should. This week at work has kicked my butt. Anyways, have a good weekend. See who ever is going tomorrow!!

Good morning all!! Second day at work is so much better port pain wise. Me being at a crappy job sucks but oh well glad to have one I guess. Glad its already humpday. Reggie, its ok are you going to the meeting Saturday?? I love Nii... he is my little kareoke buddy. Love it! every time I hear that black eye peas song I laugh!! Candra hows the head today?? heather, yes we were talking about the 6th of March. this weekend is the Point West meeting so next weekend!! You wanna go with me?? YAY John and Lee on the weight loss!!! Its neck and neck!! heheehhe... Mo Im glad it went ok for you yesterday! Well today is day 1 of puree and I gotta tell ya egg salad didnt look to yummy but thats ok. I am having chuncky pureed beef stew. mmmm. Im so excited lol...

Oh and Lee, I am going to send Candra home with Pat's track suit to give you at the next Richmond meeting okidokie!!

So I got the go ahead to advance from Robin today. YAY... PROTEIN here I come!! I am so excited to start something new. I am making stuffed bell peppers (no rice) tonight for din din so I will try and puree that. Went to the store and picked up some chunky soups to puree. First day of work pretty much sucked!! I was ready to go home and get in bed by noon. My port is killing me now. I didnt even really do anything. I guess its just the fact of sitting at my desk, not so comfortable. My boss is a total ass, he said no more than 3 words to me today. Whatever. I enrolled in school this weekend so im ready for some change!! If I can stop smoking and lose weight and go through surgery I can sure as hell go back to college!!! Anyways, Hope everyone had a great day!! John, Lee how you 2 doin?? So if anyone is interested, me and Tam Tam are maybe meeting up in the big V next Sat to walk to bridge!!

ooooh Pat send me that receipe please!! I feel your pain on going back to work, im back tomorrow. Gunna go get in bed now. Have a good night everyone... (I crave cheese too) weird lol.

Riley that sounds good, I just wish I could eat cottage cheese the texture just gets me every time I try.. lol.. I forgot in my message earlier Happy Bandiversary...!!! Thats awesome you are still rockin it!! The Point West meeting is on Saturday from 11-1 and we go to Mimi's Cafe after.. There will be a ton of clothes there to go through, the exchange is what has totally helped me through. I have only had to buy 1 pair of jeans so far. They do it in the conference room which is in the middle of the first floor. Its usually in the first room but last time they had a board that said the second room. I cant wait to meet the new people and see everyone else!! I will be on Mush at lunch. yee haww lol.. Mashed taters here I come!

Good Morning all, Appointment with my PCP went good. He didnt really know what to ask or do so I basically told him. Last week I found a lump on my left side on my back and I asked him about it today, he said its a fibroid fatty cist and its pretty large. He said its nothing to really worry about and if I want to get it removed in the future I can. It doesnt hurt or anything so I think I will just leave it alone for now. I was glad it was nothing serious. Tina, I am the queen of heartburn before the band. I was taking 2 or 3 pills a day to help it. I emailed Doc Who about it and so Im just waiting to see what he says. I got it this AM from my cream of wheat.. weird... WHich by the way John is soooooo yummy!! I didnt like it before but I do now. ANd I really liked cream of potatoe soup, it keeps me full for a long time. I mash the potatoes down really good but they mush in your mouth good too. Im so excited for the meeting at Point WEst this weekend. I miss everyone. Im bringing more clothes too. Lee, I think Tam Tam had a sore throat for a while too I would ask her. Mine wasnt bad at all so it probably just depends. Hope you feel better.. Candra Donna..... YOOOOOO WHOOOOOOO where are you guys???? Back to work tomorrow so today is sleepy day. Gunna go take a nap.
