Sure hope not! For many reasons---and yep some of them are selfish!!!

Glad she is doing better though, infections like that are nothing to mess with.

Keep us posted! I am off to finish dinner, Rick should be in any time now---wooohooo days off!! Love it!

Gina - It's so good to see you back! We missed you!!! What does the doctor say about "your esophagus muscle not working"? ...what the HECK does that mean??? And what the HECK can you do about it?? Weird! So you can eat grilled chicken and eggs? ? :) quote]

I can eat anything -- RICE - bread - SANDWHICHES with BREAD - you name it - I can. Wendy's Large Frosty.

He didn't say much -- except -- MEASURE, Just because you can doesn't mean you should (ha - he is 5 ft and 110lbs if he is lucky - super nice though).

He says I am tight -- so maybe the food packs in the pouch - then packs up into the esophigus??

I am so confused - so disappointed - frustrated - helpless. Feelings of failure as you could imagine.

Hi again everyone-

My dsd is in the hospital. She is 13 years old. She has been running fever, coughing, sneezing, all that stuff. Well, last night her mom took her to the hospital cause she was getting worse and it seems whatever infection she has has gone to her little "female parts". That hospital had her taken by ambulance to Texas Childrens Hospital in houston. The BEST! They admitted her and I am waiting to hear an update. Please keep Brandi in your prayers.

You got it!

hi gals

just getting in from work and wanted to check in. Do I dare jinx myself and tell you all about my interview today.

It was an initial interview with a placement service and I was thinking i'd be lucky with $15 an hour which is the middle of where i was and where I am... well this job i'll hear more about tomorrow morning pays $45,000/yr with medical and full benefits including 401k... HOLY SHIT....it has been so long since I made that... I might actually get my life back!!!!! He has another receptionist position which I would not really want but that even pays $38,000... to answers phones and be nice... are you kidding?????

My hair ... well, words cannot describe. IT IS BEAUTIFUL and gave me such confidence for my interview. she lightned up the black (now it is chocolate) and then colored my entire hair dark brown and put a few blonde highlights with chocolate and red highlights mixed in...It is just amazing, then i put on a pr of pants I bought at the end of Sept and they were snug... well i wish i lost more but they looked freaking great too. I needed to walk into an interview feeling hot and I did!

Well, family court was cancelled for tomorrow, now we get to go on Vanentine's day but... we can have all the little details worked out and go in and be done.

well i'm off to bed, this week has sucked the life out of me

Gina - I am so sorry to hear about your woes....but something just doesn't sound right. Can I suggest that you post in the complications forum for ideas? I know that for a stretched pouch it's recommended to get on liquids for a few days to give it time to get back to it's normal shape. Did the doctor even recommend that? Why don't you try it at least and see if it helps at all. I think I may be having a similar problem....I'll do liquids with you if you want! Hey, we might even lose a few pounds in the process!! Whattaya think? It's worth a shot.

Jenn - OMG, I am sooooooo sending vibes over your way. Good luck, girlfriend. Good luck!!!

This is a mystery we have never figured out!!! Jenn doesn't type that, it just shows up whenever she types the word "pair" .... (I think)....Isn't that just the weirdest thing you've ever heard??

Quotes for the day.

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

- John Heywood, sixteenth-century English poet

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most...We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

- Marianne Williamson, American author and lecturer

We got about an inch and a half of snow during the night. I love it but I'm up early because my next door neighbor needs a ride to the airport. She has a business trip and it's about an hour drive to get there. Now we have to allow extra time to get there.

Everyone have a great day and don't forget it's CTCD.

      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.
