Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[Haydee 2]

Laura - LOVE your new do!! I like that little flip it does. Totally suits you... tell hubby to stop moping. It'll grow back... :cool2:

[Kat817 19]

Just doing a quick check in to say I am alive!!!

The scale has come down a bit, it now says I am the same size as when I went in---none of the 12 pound loss showing yet. I am still really swollen---my rings won't go on or anything, and my upper abdomen that is not in compression is really puffy.

But the lower belly-----------OMG it is FLAT!!!!

Today I went back in for my 2nd post op visit, and he removed 2 of my tubes, and the pain bolus (a ball the size of a billiard ball, filled with pain meds that seep directly into the wound) So now I have just 2 drains.....and lots of stitches, and steri strips.

I am really loopy, I think it is the anti nausea Patches they have me putting behind my ear....I have not had pain meds in close to 24 hours.

I can't do personals right now.....I will catch up though!!!

Hugs~

Kat

Can't see the pix of the new "do" from work:confused:...you know I hate being out of the loop!

How many PB's can you have during a 30 min lunch period??? I know you all want to know. Well, the answer is 4...and one very pissed off and HUNGRY bandster. I freakin hate Soup. so much for arriving at MIL's w/ a good band. I pb'd on Beans and tomatoes...should've eaten the chips (mexican food pot luck).

[TerriDoodle 6]

Yeah, Pammy - I have trouble with the skins of tomatoes and grapes and such. Sorry :cool2:

Kat!! Yea!!!! Making progress!!!

OMG,,,,, You guys are not going to believe what I got in the mail today..... Oh wait, yes you will. You guys are the ones that sent it to me.

Thank You so much for thinking of me. That's what makes you all special.

We are staying home this weekend. There are a few things we need to do to get ready for the pool. The pool guy said that barring any more bad weather, he will be out next week. Yipppppeeeeee...

Laura, Love the hair. I got all of mine cut off yesterday and as soon as I can get someone to take my pic I'll send it.

Haydee, I have to tell you that everytime I see a new picture of you I am just taken back at how beautiful you are. The one of you in the group pic is stunning.

The group pic was just what I needed. Now I can put a special face to all of you. What a very beautiful group. It looks like you guys just had to much fun.

TracyKS, Not a good way to start the summer off. Yikes, I remember the summers I spent in a cast. Hope he heals fast....My nephew called this morning to tell me he was ok and that he was being sent home because the work site was shut down. I asked him why it was shut down and he told me that there had been a crane accident and that someone was killed. He wanted me to call his Mom and tell her that he was alright. Scary to see the pics on the news.

Everyone have a safe and great weekend.

Ok, going home for the 3 day weekend I NEED SO MUCH. I didn't get to sleep in on the trip and this week I have been dragging and just dying to sleep in the mornings.

But real quick, Jane.. You need to make sure you get 2 Double A batteries and 2 C batteries if you don't have them at home. Next time you're out, make sure you pick these up. :cool2:)

Rep Power is gone again?

Poor Laura...probably SO sick of me waking up at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning! I am so sorry. I tried to be quiet but that old house needed some WD-40 on the door hinges:blink:

Happy Birthday Jane!!!!! :thumbup:

Kat-glad you checked in. I am so happy for you!

Pa mella-:cursing: did you get my text?

Suzie....you are SO going next year!

Have a great evening everyone and an even better weekend!

Ruh Roh!!! Mailman on his way??!?! We probably won't be hearing much from Jane in the cuming weeks!

Laura - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair!!!!!

[GR8 1]

Thank you everyone for the Post Card from your trip – you all look wonderful and super happy!

My husband was like – you should have gone – (totally different attitude than previously) and he started talking that we should invite everyone here (Virginia Beach) and etc…

Jane – Happy birthday and thank you for my birthday card!!!!

Laura – That was the first time I heard the John Mayer:Say song – it is absolutely beautiful – I am going to find it for my ipod. Also love the new hair dew!

Tracy – I hope Robbie gets to feeling better – I have 1 of those boots/Air Casts – quite convenient – hope it works.

I am totally too tight – haven’t had a fill since Jan –not losing – start birth control pills last month and have gained 10-15lbs. So frustrated – sad but not sad enough to stop eating (FOOD PORN) the ice cream – carnation instant breakfast’s with extra choc Syrup and Peanut Butter – bread stick here and there, baked potatoes with lots of butter and sour cream. I am living on this stuff – I am so BAD and ASHAMED.

So yes – I have been MIA for a while due to above – but no more – I promise.

Have a good night everyone –

Gina

[TerriDoodle 6]

Tracy & Haydee --- When can we get together??!?!?

[TerriDoodle 6]

Gina - That's exactly why I'm getting an unfill on Tuesday! (Not the BC thing, but the too tight thing.) Wanna get one with me?

[TerriDoodle 6]

That went by just way too fast........

Tracy & Haydee --- When can we get together??!?!?
