I'm struggling. I'm sitting in a hospital room holding my mom's hand. Her kidneys have shut down and hospice comes tomorrow, we are taking her home. The last six weeks have been horrible. I'm hurting, tired and not taking care of myself. I have to get through this I love my mom more than any one. She is my one true constant.

Thinking of you!

I'm getting ready to go visit my family in Texas in 3 weeks, can't wait to travel south and hope for some warmer weather!

yeah I can't say that I'm a fan of winter.... snow should be allowed from the end of november till the middle of february... then it's bring on the sunshine/rain and flowers!

I signed up for my second 5k, doing the color run in Rochester at the end of May... took a lot of guts but I ordered a medium tshirt... I just got my Autism Awareness tshirt and ordered a large and I'm really hoping it shrinks! it's too big! so totally strange! Last year's shirt was a 3X

Thank you for supporting Autism awareness! My son is on the spectrum, and the disorder can use all the attention it can get!

I am also finding that I am buying clothes too big. I suddenly seem to be going though sizes faster. I am close to my goal, and I guess I am afraid of buying clothes too small. Maintenance scares me.

My mom passed away tonight. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through. Our whole family was there and surrounded her as Jesus took her to heaven. Thank you all for your kindness and support. God bless you all.

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. May all the wonderful, joyful, memories you have of your mother bring you comfort. As long as we keep those memories alive, our parents will never truly be gone.

:) My sister got married last year to man with an autistic non verbal son... He's no longer non verbal :) Also, as an educator, I feel we all need to be aware of any disorders our students may have that challenge them and help them achieve to the best of their abilities.

I have changed my weight loss goal... The dr said i'm good where i'm at... I had originally wanted to weigh less than hubby... so I went with 145 as a goal... I've decided I just want a healthy BMI so anything under 159 will be the sugar free icing on my cake :)

      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.
