Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

Morning Violets~

LMAO Michelle, you even had me going! My first thought was, "I guess her sister's name is Pam and I missed when she told us!" LOL that was a good one...I WISH IT WERE TRUE! That sounds like my kinda night!

Yeah Terry...Where TF is TracyKS??? She is too busy being Mrs. DH that she doens't have time for the Violets:crying:.

Boy, I had a headache the size of Texas last night. Since about 1pm...I even worked out thinking it might help. I had a porkchop and salad last night too. Then Susanne came home and she rang the door bell. I was surprised cause she was about 30 min too early by my calculations. I wasn't expecting her...plus why the hell is she ringing the bell right? Soooo, I yell "Who is it (it is dark outside) and I didn't hear anything. I slightly open the door, thinking the screeen door would be closed and locked and she was right there. She had opened the screen and was coming in the door. I screamed soooo loud, I gave myself a sore throat and a REALLY REALLY BAD HEADACHE. She was laughing soooo hard she almost pee'd her pants. I was dying. So I ended up opening up some wine and she and I finished a bottle...ON A SCHOOL NIGHT! WOOHOO. Sorry for the long rambling story!

OMG...I've been meaning to tell you all this. Have you all (ya'll) seen Into the Wild? OMG what an amazing movie! I highly recommend it. It is beautiful and teaches us about life...more importantly, living. It is PG13 and is great for everyone.

OK...I should get crack-a-lackin' and booty-smackin'. Have a great day! I'll pop in later!

Morning girls~

I have had no less than 40 spiders on my foot this morning! Scary huh? That was the example my DD used to explain April Fools to Kinsey, so she repeats it every little bit---ya gotta act scared!!! Dingbat!

Feeling a bit better today--not nearly as congested, thinking that is helping my stomach feel better too---not having all that drainage into it all night. Gross!

Going to strip beds, and do laundry today. Feel like it or not!

Pamela---I can so relate to your scare with Susanne! The other night, Rick had gone to bed, and I was still up, the wind was blowing something fierce....and I heard things blowing around out back, so I went into the garage, and hit the patio light switch--just about that time a big old tumbleweed blew across---scared the hell outta me! My heart was pounding from that, but I was kinda laughing to myself, so I walk back in to the house, turning off the light as I come in, and walked smack dab into Ricks chest! I couldn't even scream! He had been in bed! He heard the door, and gets all pissy when I go exploring noises on my own! He had his arms around me, I froze----it took a couple seconds to register it was him! I so know how frightening that would have been. You know what they say about revenge......

Well I will check in off and on between loads of laundry.

Michelle---do you ever read any Jonathon Kellerman?

Goooooooood morning, Violets..

Well, March sure went out like a Lion yesterday. It rained hard all day and today it's still raining and windy. Good news is a lot of the snow has melted. Bad news is... there's tons left!

I'm sore and stiff today from all the painting yesterday. Today I work my shift at the hosptial and then come home and tackle some more painting. The Bobster is moving the computer desk out so I can get behind and strip the last of the wallpaper. This is such a small room, you'd think it would take a matter of hours to get done instead of days!! Oh well, it will be a definite improvement when I'm done.. I HOPE!

Today in my journal I wrote 51 weeks. So next Tuesday it will be 52 weeks to the day that I had my surgery. We all have lots to Celebrate this month.. weight loss, self esteem boost and best of all, finding lots of Violet Sistahs here. Sure hope this meeting in May is the first of many so that those who couldn't make it this time might be able to next time. I'm really getting excited! I'll probably start packing in another week or so!:puke:

I'm off to the hospital. Catch ya all later! TracyinKS... we're sending the monkeys out after you!!!

Hah Kat, I didn't know what you were talking about, I thought you really had 40 spiders on your foot.. I literally would have died from a heart attack or shock.

I don't ever do anything for April Fool's, I can't keep a straight face!

Maybe the honeymoon isn't over :puke: :)

YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

No, I've just been super busy... and I've been eating like crap, we got a puppy, DH back went out and today he is seeing a pain management specialist (partner of a surgeon) he has been off work, and he's been very cranky because he is freaking out.... work is crazy and my boss called last night because his daughter went into labor so they were heading to the Lake to meet her at the hospital (about 3 hours away) ohhhh and my period is getting ready to hit, so I cry at commericals......

Robby starts swimming lessons tonight, and I've also signed him up for his first year of T-Ball........... trying to figure out if I'm going to switch daycare on him for the summer and then again when he starts kindergarten.... (the current' place put a stop to all field trips last summer and they are not resuming them this year) park, movies, swimming, skating, fire station........... so I'm thinking of switching him to a place that does the fun summer stuff.

The issue is he can't start the school district sponsored summer program util he completes kindergarten, but he wILL be going to the before and after program when he starts in August.........

I bounced back up to 194 today....... grrrrrrr, but I had a cookie for Breakfast, so that tells ya how I've been eating.:)

I come here to our April 07 Bandsters area and that's it... in fact, I didn't realize 'til just now that there was a "Tips" thread!! HA HA!! I thought that the tips idea just faded away!! Bwah ha ha! I think I was supposed to be Saturdays..... whoops!! Right now I feel very, very, very computer-illiterate! And a bit oogy to think that people can monitor what thread I'm looking at, etc... <shudder>

Yeah, I ignore the fact you can see where we're browsing.. but I don't like on profiles now it shows WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Like I was editing profile, and it said I was doing something, like editing my information. Eep.

And I don't like that people can see when I look at their profile, I like to be sneaky!!

And I thought the social group would be fun, now I'm not sure why I did it. SIGH! THANKS KAT! :lol:

You gals are funny today

my stomach hurts so bad. I am so bloated, wtf (i can still say it too :lol: ) is this ever going to go away?

I did push it and go to the gym today. I was going to shower but i'm thinking.............. no... LOL

I'm going to go outside and play with ds since it is 60 out and going to rain then get back to 40 tonight. Then i'm going to Water aerobics at 6:30 and will have to shower again.. so why bother

I'm going to do water aerobics again in the morning and work out then get my hair colored. suddenly groing at at out of control rate... come on, i'm not working, slow down, i can't afford you . LOL

Went to do weights already, I'm putting my exercise challange to myself back up, I was much more accountable when I had to log it.

Hey Tracyks - I hope to start swim lessons for ds this week for 1/2 session then the end of april he starts next level. We talked about Tbal too, but with not working and dd focusing on Cheerleading we decided to wait until next spring too. He loves tossing the football too so I want him to pick what he wants to do. Pop warner for his age is so cute/

      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.
