Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Hard to imagine I've been with him for so long, oh well, another 43? Judy, are you going to Finley's for the free steak, they have that promotion here in Kalamazoo. We do it all the time for birthdays. Everyone have a great day. Congrats on all the girls who are pregnant, wow, I remember that feeling of wanting to know what I had, the problem was that we couldn't back that long time ago. I just got the colors yellow or green for baby stuff before they were born.

Dolores, after 43 years I'm sure marriage is a piece of cake, LOL. Why not 43 more?!

Suzie! I'm so sorry for what you're going through. And she was your first! Poor girl must have been really messed up by her parents. Well just know that you tried your best and she needs more help than you could provide for her. Are you gonna try again at a later date or are you done??

Housewives show is one of our guilty pleasures too. Me and juan love them all. Well, he doesn't really like the jersey girls. Can't find anything worthwhile about any of them. But he has his favorites from all the cities... ny is probably my favorite.

Nothing much on tv during the summer.

Trust us, if you can get through the first 40 years.. yep... it's all cake!!

Sorry I've been so quiet. I've been trying to keep Gia in line. She's gotten so much worse and it is way past just teenage crap. I finally called and asked to have her moved. My social worker said that I lasted twice as long as she thought I would and Gia's social worker agreed. (btw - everyone gets a social worker maybe we should add that app to FB!) So she will be moving somewhere else on Monday. She is still here with me today and tomorrow but I had already scheduled a weekend of respite care so I could get a break, so she's going there for the weekend. I'll pick her up on Sunday and take her to DSS on Monday morning.

I moved the cat out of her room because the therapist said this might be a time where she would hurt herself, run away or try to hurt Cali. The kitten cannot go with her and is not staying here with er pooping habits. I know that sounds cold, but I am not cleaning cat poop up every day. The lady who gave her to Gia has said she will take her back.

So sorry it turned out like this Suzi. At least she had a little normalcy with you for awhile. Sometimes love just isn't enough.

No Finley's here in this area. We got to CW's, a bbq place connected to the Holiday Inn here in town.

We had an earthquake here yesterday!!! Well, not right here, it was centered in Canada, but it was felt in the area. I didn't notice anything, but others on Facebook have mentioned it.

I wonder if there's something going on with my band. I cannot eat solids that well and have been vomiting quite a bit this week, I can keep the Protein Shakes down but not quite sure why the vomiting. Can it be I'm getting stuck everyday, I don't know. I'm having an upper GI done on July 2nd, it is my 3 year checkup, and I'll know more then. I would worry more if I couldn't keep liquids down. Oh well, I think there's more complications with the band down the road than I thought about. I am happy to have lost the weight and don't regret it at all. On our anniversary today I couldn't go out to eat, instead I am having a Protein shake:(.

Good morning, Violets..

Good job, Janie! I see that the seat next to me is now taken. I changed mine online and never had any problems. Changing you to change a seat?? Not happening!!

I had a great day yesterday. Ethan and I swam in the pool for an hour, Bob got me three new plants, one hanging and two to be planted today and I had a great dinner with Bob, Nathan, Kris and Grady.

Ethan is here now and will be here until 2. We're going swimming at 11 so we can get another hour in before I have to leave for a hair appointment at 1:15. Grady is coming over at 4 so Kris can go to Zumba and then again at 7 so she can go to a drug rep dinner with Nathan. Guess it's a Gramma kinda day.

Off to find some Breakfast for Ethan and me.

Everyone have a great day!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
