I tried posting the before pics and they were WAY TOO BIG, so I deleted them. If I can email them to someone to fix and then post that would be great!!! I am not very technologically friendly.

Jennifer- I think it was you that sent it, and hopefully you take this the right way.. Please please please, don't ever sign me up for newsletters or anything :)

I got an e-mail for the travel thing saying you invited me to join the newsletter. The e-mail I gave you guys is my SPAM FREE JUNK FREE e-mail address.. you add my name one time to something like that and all of a sudden a million places are going to send me a bunch of SPAM :( :( :(

I'm so sorry Laura!! I just thought you'd like to be included for some specials. Please click on 'unsubscribe' and there won't be anymore sent to you.

Just thought I was doing a nice thing with the travel specials since I knew you and others like to travel and there are great specials offered.

Apologizes to everyone that received my offer. I guarantee it won't happen again!!!!! :)

Good evening, Violets..

Just got home from dinner and a great evening with our cruising buddies.

I'm so relieved to hear about Kat. I firmly believe in the power of prayer... and especially Purple prayer!!!

Janie.. you look awesome!! What a great article! We're all so proud of you and what you have accomplished so far.

I'm heading to the hot tub and then to bed. Got to be up early to head downstate to see the grandkids. Everyone have a great weekend. I'll check in when I get back on Monday night or at the hotel if I can swing it!!!

Patience, Trust, Purple Prayers and WWJD??!!!

Jennifer- Don't apologize, that's why I didn't want that to come out wrong. I APPRECIATE the thought of it, I really do. It's just that that e-mail is my NO SPAM e-mail. If you or anyone else want to send me newsletter kind of e-mails that subscribe me to a list, PM me and I will send you the e-mail addy I use for this. It's not that I mind them, just not on that e-mail addy :) The one you guys have is the one I use just for personal communications.

Good Morning Girlz-

I think it's pretty scary when you can guess your weight within 0.2# without even getting on the scale. I've done that sooooo often that this morning I didn't even weigh in. I'll bet you right now that when I do weigh (a little later) that I'll be 183.4. LOL, let's see if I'm right!

Yesterday me and my sister went to check out this rehab center that the doctor recommended. It really is a great place with a great staff and all that....but the 'patients' are sooooooo depressing. I just don't think my mom is gonna react very well. Sometimes she can be very compliant and adapts well....but other times she can be stubborn as a mule and is prone to depression. THIS IS SO DAMN HARD!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, now that Kat's out of the woods I need that purple prayer power over here in Texas!!

Jane - The article is sooo cool!! Did you wear purple on purpose or did it just work that way? That's so funny. Doing hair and being on your feet all day, that 100+ # gone must make a huge difference in the way you feel at the end of the day, huh??

Where's Pamela? Oh Paaaammmm - a -laaaaaaaa....where arrrrrrre youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

I'm off to BEAD today....for at least a little while.

Ya'll have a good one!

Terry - you got my purple power girlfriend.

Wow - I saw your post laura and I freaked out thinking I did something. LOL

Well, I made it through yesterday, worked 10hrs and came home and passed out! My ds woke me up at 8 (my request to my mom) Someone is coming to get my furniture this morning. My mom bought me new furniture for xmas and I know someone who is moving and had nothing so she is taking my sectional, which in all reality is not in bad shape. My new furniture is going to be here on Friday so that gives me the week to get my carpets cleaned and wash all my curtins and other fun stuff.

Jane - you look great, what a great article

Kat - I AM SO HAPPY AND GLAD YOU ARE OK!!!

I'm going to drink some coffee...check back later

Good Saturday Morn, Vi's~~

Sounds like we're doing pretty well... Terri, purple power to you as you seek to do the best for your Mom...

Taking dd to get her hair cut (TRIMMED, as she reminds me... the only "style" she wants is LONG)... then to her poms banquet... then maybe to see "Nancy Drew" @ the re-run theatre in town. (We're having a nice girls weekend w/dh & ds in NC @ the soccer tournament.) Last night she & I went to Kohl's and shopped for 2 hours & she came out w/$200 in clothes, from underwear & sox & boots to tops, jeans & dresses! And the very best part of that is that we actually had fun doing it! Usually it's a long, drawn-out, argumentative experience, because we have completely different ideas about what type of clothing a 9yo should be wearing, but we both noticed how enjoyable it was last night. Maybe she's growing up (or me!)!

Make it a great day, Vi's!

Home from our trip and am so glad we went. We got to see Uncle George which will be our last time to see him. His health is bad and is going fast. Glad we went while he is still alive and we had the chance to talk. Husband really enjoyed it.

Back to the grindstone. Up early and went to the grocery store. Got a 20lb turkey. Went to Curves and kicked my butt. I did some walking this week but nothing like I usually do. Now just need to watch my eating for the next week. All that good stuff is so hard to pass up.

Hey, are we having CTC Day next Thursday?

Everyone have a great weekend. :clap2:

      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.
