Terry-sorry about your mom. Medicine can do strange things to people. My dad went through the hallucination thing too. I will keep praying that she recovers soon. Hugs to you!

Laura-wish I was a wiz in the anatomy area BUT...

I can still send you purple power and cheer you on!!

Pamela-I have not gone over to BB chatters site yet. I do not really know all of the people good enough yet to care that much...lol I am loving the show though! (as usual)

Judy-is that babygirl precious or what?!!

We went to moms and had a celebration for dh new job. He was surprised....yes there was cake but I only had one small peice. Good thing there was no ice cream there or then it would have been 'katy bar the door'.

I wanted to have a longer post than this but I can't concentrate right now....I will be back. Take care everyone!

Good Morning, Violets..

Sun is shining, and maybe, just MAYBE I can get in the pool today. Suzie, 81 is a little cool for you?? YIKES!! I go in when it's 82 and that takes forever to get to here. Hope you enjoy your pool as much as I do. We don't have a deck around ours.. just up the ladder and down. Someday maybe when I win the lottery we can put a deck around a little bit of it.

Terry.. At least your mom is seeing pleasant things!!! Hugs and prayers to you and her.

TracyK.. congrats to hubby on his new job. What an exciting few weeks you've had! The Bobster announced yesterday to the little church he is co-pastor at that he will be done Dec. 31. Then we'll be in a little cash flow situation, but we should be ok. Will just have to cut down on the number of cruises we take until my Social Security kicks in in 11 months!!:scared2::eek:

Laura.. hope things turn out alright with your studies. No way I could do anything like that now. My brain is turning mushey even as we speak. Takes me forever to remember some things now. Keep reminding me who I am and where I am, k?

Haydee.. hope the weather cooperated for the wedding!!!

Everyone have a great day. I'm going to go do the Wii and then get dressed to go to the Art on the Bay. It's just like the fair at Gruene, cept much bigger. See ya later!!

Ooops. forgot to mention. The MAYOR of Alpena called me yesterday.. wooo hoooo. SHE is in the final stages of prep for lap band surgery. Has all the pre-op stuff done and just has to schedule it. She wanted my input so of course I did my usual lap band cheerleading routine. I also am having lunch with a retired school teacher on the 29th so she can quiz me on lap band. She was at the support group, but had too many questions and didn't want to monopolize the whole meeting. So I'll gather up all my literature and meet with her. I think I'm becoming Alpena's lap band representative!!

I miss you guys so much... I have a lot of catching up to do (boy has it been crazy) but the first thing I did was email my army friend (remember him???) because he was looking for me and now i'm here checking in.

I have to write a book to fill you all in... so i'll work on that later

Laura, I did get your email, my phone is so full it has been freaking out... I've had several slips and every time i do something "blonde" I laugh about that.

Terry.... thanks...

HUGS AND KISSES

Oh... I'm finally working full time and love my boys... almost all of them... LOL

Good evening. Violets..

I'm back from the art fair. Got a neat ceramic planter for the back yard and a nifty flamingo t-shirt to wear during flute rehearsals. Betsy, my fellow flute player, accompianist and friend, and I got shirts for the other two in our group. She and I are going to wear ours to rehearsal on Wednesday and then when they snicker and sneer, we'll pull out the shirts for them too!

The Bobster and I are going out to eat. It's just so much cheaper for us to go out and share a meal than for me to cook and have tons of left overs. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Will check back later..

Haha Michelle!! First time in my life I was in a phone store today- AT&T..Russell is getting the new Iphone for his b'day.. but I always pick out what I want and someone orders it for me (phone goes through the company) How ironic though you went too.. We go in, million people, we put our name on a list and sat around an hour till someone helped us, I was like "So uh is this how it always is?" heh.. that sucked, then they don't have it, we had to order it.. wish they told us that when we walked in!!!

And Michelle I'll get back to you on the PM, I have been thinking about it since you asked earlier.. and for the length of the strap my current fav. purse is perfect length, should I measure it and let you know? Would that work?

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

    • 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
