I just made my video... had to do it myself because my coworker got caught up in a meeting........... I think it turned out pretty good for doing it all by myself. When I get home I'm going to upload it and email it to her, plus I will have to burn a copy on cd to fedex.

Hey girls--I am soooooo happy!!! I went to lunch with DH, we just went to Taco Bell because it is so close to his work. He ordered our food, and they have these new box meals, and since it had everything in it, that he and Kinsey and I wanted....plus more, he got it. So rather than my usual taco, I opted to try this double beef cheesy burrito. I was so afraid I could eat it all plus the taco, and you know....be the old me. NOPE~~ not even half the burrito went down. It was different, I felt full---but not like it was backing up.....but there was no way I coud eat much more than when I was filled. I was so happy!!!!!! I have not been super hungry either like I was afraid of!

Laura.....dunno about your 2 squares....maybe someone left rep power on your blog as well as on the site? I have no idea!!!

I have called and reminded DIL about pics----so hoping I can gather them up tonight. I need to do a couple loads of laundry, and clean out the fridge.....then tomorrow it is simple vaccuum, and straighten and I am outta here!!!

Paid my co pay to the surgeon today, gave him the # to call my band Dr. he was happy to have that, and said he would put a call in to him right away and he looked forward to talking to him. So simple.......so far!!!

I think we will be yacking non stop too!!!

I was married to a man.....and he was the drama problem, but it was not drama for drama's sake. He was just mean, and acted out A LOT!!!! He blamed it on his hot Italian blood. I laughed, got smacked for it, but I laughed anyway!!!!! LOL

OK. Off to do the laundry. Son, and family coming over tonight, so I told Rick, I am not going to cook, I have too much to do, so pizza Hut is gonna cook!!! Especially now that I know I am not going to turn into a raging maniac around food!!!!

Terry--Mom doing ok out of the hospital?

How you feeling Judy?

Talk Soon!

Well I had an exciting day (not) I went to work and felt fine, then I was almost done with my 2nd customer and felt sort of funny. I told her I wasn't feeling so well and was going to sit down, I can't describe it but I had this pain in the upper middle of my back and my right side, not bad, but there, and I broke out in a cold sweat. Charlies next customer was a nurse and saw me sitting there and came over, and it just got worse and worse. Really weird. Then she made me lay on the floor, and they called 911 because I passed out. They came and couldn't get a blood pressure and pulse was really low, so they started an iv and gave me oxygen and got a blood pressure, by that time I was alert, before just sort of in and out. They took me to the hospital and was continuing to feel better. They did a bunch of tests and they said I did have aspiration pnemonia, but that that didn't cause it. They said sometimes there is no reason, for this and they kept me on the monitor for a couple hours and that was fine. It was weird, and I hope that it never happens again!!!! It scared me and I scared the sXXX out of Charlie. He thought I was having a heart attack, because they couldn't get a blood pressure?!? I am not sure what runs through his mind sometimes...

So I am home now, working tomorrow, then going to Gruene!

Well I checked in on Jane, and she is talking and laughing---and still has no real idea of what happen! I think she needs to leave her CPAP at home and snore so I know she is ok!!!!

Laundry is finishing----dinner will be ordered soon--------DW is ready to unload-------slowly getting things together.....slowly being the key word!!! Tomorrow night at this time I will be on my way to Albq. so I can get some sleep!!!

I keep throwing things in the suitcase---it is getting full!! BUT part of it is a surprise! And then I have a couple pairs of capri's and a pair of shorts....that will be passed on or left behind!!! So....that leaves room for shopping!! Yea!!!

How is your back Pamela???

BBL~~

Well, I made my Sam's run and got some Snacks...and that got me excited all over again!! I just can't wait until tomorrow is OVER and I have just one more sleep! wheeee!!!

Kat - Mom is doing ok BUT she picked up an antibiotic resistant infection at the hospital (a VRE infection) and now has to be in isolation for 2-3 weeks at the nursing home :smile: I tell ya, it's always something! She must be taking 24 different drugs now. Poor thing!! In that regard I wish I wasn't going away this weekend. I hope she'll be okay.

Good evening, Violets..

I went to choir rehearsal tonight and then German class and I should have just stayed home. I feel worse now than I did when this started. I'm going to head to bed and hope that sleep will take care of some of it. I WILL be on that plane Friday morning, never fear. We just might have to set up a medical room for Pam, Jane and me. :party:

Everyone have a good night. 2 more sleeps and I'll be in Texas where it's warmer than the 50 degrees we have here right now!!!

Hey Vi's~

Well, my back is sprained. I should be on the mend now...left work and got an adjustment and some muscle stim...Gosh that felt good. Came home and slept for 2.5 hours, thank God Tracy woke me. I graded some papers (done) and then had a dinner (had a margie)then a meeting @ 6pm! I will take a back pill before bed, and hopefully after I get my "do" done tomorrow...and one more trip to the doctor...I'll be better. I feel better, been taking Zyrtec at night.

Janie~OMG...totally scary!!! Are you sure you are ok?? Perhaps a trip to Gruene will be the best medicine for you. Hell...for all of us!

Roomie~ I hope you feel better too. I hope we all do!

I am so excited for our trip. Susanne is doing laundry now (I am sooo lucky) and I will pack tomorrow. I figure, just throw some clothes in a bag, some cosmetics...then go. MY VIOLETS ALREADY LOVE ME...SO I HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE!

Can't wait!

      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.
