I'll have to catch up with y'all on personals this weekend or tonight.

I just wanted to let you know we were very lucky, we only lost our electric, but all our neighbors lost most of their trees. It kind of just went right over us, the people behind us got hit bad and the people right next door did, and all the ones across the street did. I feel so bad for some of them, they lost all their trees in their yard. I couldn't believe it when I came home last night and saw all the limbs and trees cut up and put at the curb, and the big ones haven't even been done yet! I am just thankful that it was the trees though and not the people or their homes.

Later y'all!

Hi Dianne...long time, no see...hope you are doing well!

Mandy, good news on the band, and actually, good news on the gyno stuff. At least they are taking action...I do think it could possibly be endometriosis of some type, from your description. Be sure your surgeon knows of your lapband! All that equipment is in there, ya know.

Haven hasn't had much to say about their loss, but keeps re-enacting my stunning performance (falling three steps off home, running-ha- to first base...it provides endless enjoyment!). Today is another several hours of supervising the snow cone machine!

Oh yeah...yesterday I was elected president of the parent association at the school...and it was the national day of prayer. Coincidence? LOL! Keep laughing...!

Better get outta here...gotta clean up so I go get sticky red stuff all over me! Snow cone Syrup, that is...

Hugs,

Cindy

Happy Friday,

First I would like to know from any moderators why all the crazy changes here.... and now the pretty girl in the logo? I wouldn't think to complain..... just that everyday is new.

Dianne :D So glad to see ya! I have my date 5/14 and today I need to get all the checks printed for my pre-op next tuesday. Insurance did not pull thru for me. Waiting any longer was not an option. I'll be fine!

Brianne: Welcome! We have Soooo much fun here. Congrats on your surgery. I'll be there in 10 days! And I must say, you have done marvelous!

Betty: I'm So thankful that your home wasn't damaged.... you scared me! Do you have to live thru all this weather stuff yearly? You must have nerves of steel.

Kat: Where's our Rick report?

Eileenie: Peek-a-boo :D

Mandy: I am relieved that you aren't having band problems and that your meds are working. I have hardly eaten this week because of the flu and I'm hoping the band doesn't feel like that. Your appointment will be here before you know it and the answers will come. Hey, I didn't know your husband works for the railroad. My kidlets are crazy about trains -- your're so lucky! Hugs.

Well, the weekend is here and I have neglected my home. Gotta clean, clean, clean. The kids are going to Dads and I will be alone -- yeah! Hey! where is the rest of our crew??

Betty-How scary for you and your neighbors. I'm glad your ok!

Patty-I'm so glad your moving ahead. Perhaps insurance will catch up later. I'm so excited for you! Your gonna love your band you hot mama!!

I'm so out of it today! Clifford came and I just want to sleep. I have so much to tell you all but I need to go back to sleep. Boobies are good though! Still not sure what size I am, but they feel much better. I still can't lift much without pain or put my arms up in the air, but I'm feeling better everyday. Now I need t look into TT before insurance stops. Patty I will have to talk to you about cobra at some point soon.

night night

My new window is being put in today!! woohoo!! Of course that means I have to paint this week. But I am ready for it. I HATE the curent window and since it is damaged I can't open it. It's in my living room so there is no fresh air for us. That will all change today. I'll be back later. ~Mandy

Well, I'm with you Betty, I'm doing laundry too..... 3 loads down and 3 to go! Dishes are getting done too! I also have 3 checks for my doctors and hospital.... I guess 3 is my number today! Slowly getting ready for surgery. I have flavored waters, shakes, Vitamins, pain relievers...... I still need to buy that gasx stuff. I'm trying to finish all the dusting and cleaning since I'm the maid and I will be sleeping the first few days. I think I need to empty the fridge of all that evil pre-band food I used to love. I will need you all to entertain me with food porn before this is all over. Work this week will be 4 days and my prayer is that things go smoothly and to keep me healthy before my date. So can ya send one up for me? Thanks guys -- did I ever tell you that you're the best? Well, you are! Hugs,

Hi, Patty! You know, prayers are our specialty...so you got it! Your big day is coming up quick, isn't it? Can hardly believe it! We'll be here for you, no worries.

Betty, we did not get the big storms this time around...but I sure feel bad for the Greensburg KS townspeople...that little town is about an hour northwest of my grandma's town (Kiowa). Greensburg is in Kiowa county, but my grandma lived in Kiowa...in Barber County. They are actually having more severe weather and hail today, even.

Where's Darcy?????? Seems like it's been a while...but she has that new cabin, so maybe that's it.

Hi, Eileen! Yeah, you work so hard all week, and we're goofing off around here, then you have some time, and we're off doing other junk...we keep missing each other, which is a bummer. I don't think I am EVER gonna make below 200...I keep going up and down the same 2 pounds...which is typical for me. How was the new pastor? We have a new one, too, and we really like him.

Where's Beanie? How's the new job, or have you started it yet?

I'm doing laundry, too...and trying to get some down time in. We've been running around like crazy people all week, with another week just like it ahead of us!

Thanks for being the fantastic ladies you are!

Cindy

Patty - I bought the gas x stuff and it didn't help me at all. Remember to get some popcicles, Jello, apple/grape juice, some kind of Protein Drink (my doc said to use Carnation Instant) and chicken/beef broth. Get some extra strenght adult tylenol (liquid) and it's good if you have a heating pad. You are almost there sweetie! Don't worry, we'll all be there, holding your hand and sending prayers out to the big guy!:(:) :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
