Judy big hugs for what you are going through!! Purple power and hugs to you, Ethan, and the Bobster!!!

I too am way up in weight, but slowly but surely will take it off. Reading the books, thinking about weight loss and weight gain. It is more of a head game than the actual weight loss.

Jenn who knows about the army guy? He sounds like a nice guy to keep after you with niceties!

BB just came on and want to watch, had a sliver to preview this morning thanks to Tracy and Pam!!

I get home and start to read all of your post and guess what????

You have finaly figured out what I have been saying for along time. You guys are the best. Not just there when things are going good but there when it feels like we can't get any lower than we are.

When life gives me lemons I come here for my lemonade.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.... You know the song. That's what you guys are.

TracyK.... BITE YOUR TONGUE. I'll hunt you down if they close DQ. :w00t:

Judy, Hugs to you and the Bobster. Ethan is very lucky to have you two. I pray that all works out.

Kat, Good luck to you guys.

TracyKS, congrats on the shave. Maybe he'll keep it up.

Sleep tight and see ya'll tomorrow.

You guys are so funny, I have a DQ a mile down the road and I can't remember the last time I went there, really! And Sonic about 3 miles away, we go for food there maybe once a month but I've never cared about their treats. If someone told me I had to never eat the sweets at either of those places again I'd just be like.. ok!

But give me fried anything.. really, almost anything.. and some kind of complimentary dipping sauce.. sigh.

My neighbor came over last week and she had a waffle bowl from DQ. She had called and offered to bring me one :w00t: I turned it down :cool2:

Anyway she said you have to try this and she gave me a piece of the bowl that was dipped in chocolate. I'm amazed that I didn't jump up and knock everyone over to go get one. I restrained myself though. I was very good.

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise----we lost!!! 12-9. But had an absolute blast!!! Went to bat 3 times, got 3 hits, scored once and one RBI. Rick batted 4 times, got 4 hits--1 was a pop fly out, one was a line drive out, and the other 2 he brought all the way home. We laughed and had a great time. He will do great when he feels good, tonight was not a great night for him, he was feeling bad, and running fever. The company has 2 teams, ours is the lame one!!! They would not even let us use company colors because the other team did. So ours are Purple!!! We are the Purple People Eaters---can you get any more ridiculous???

The "coach" did not even know to turn in a roster! Then she had no plans for anyone, did not know who to put where....did not even have anyone lined up to pitch! It was somewhat a comedy of errors! But it was fun, and it wore me out. Course I was already tired from mowing the lawn!!! I should sleep well tonight! We have our next game on Thursday.....she doesn't know what time or what field, she will call us. We ask for a schedule.....OH! she would try to remember to run some off! Talk about a ditz!!!!

You can have members of your immediate family play on the team which is how I am playing. The team we played had a bunch of HS age kids---really made me feel old and slow!!

Tomorrow I have to get my house cleaned and the extra bedroom prepped as well as the bed in the playroom made up. One of Rick's college buddies and one of his friends will be in Thursday, they are coming to go to the 4 Corners Rally with us---as well as the Sugar Pine Ranch Rally.

There are some old bands going to play, but we are old enough to remember and like them!!! Three Dog Night, and Little River Band in one place on Saturday and the Black Oak Arkansas is playing at the other rally on Sunday.

But Rick's friend Nick and his friend will be here Thursday, have to drag them to the game that night, someone to laugh at us!!

Then we will all leave to go to the rally on Friday. Rick is off through Tuesday now.

I did really good on my Water today.....so so on the food. For Breakfast I had yogurt and granola, snacked on some macadamia nuts midday. Ate a bowl of Soup for lunch---which was not low cal!!! And had it with crackers to boot! Then for dinner we had salad and hot wings. No snacking this evening because we were gone! That was a good thing! But I bet I drank 8-9 bottles of water today, and filled my glass with ice water 2-3 times as well! Got my exercise in, so if I would just watch the food choices better I would be doing much better!!!

Well it is shower time, I am feeling the ache!!! Connecting with the ball jars my shoulders big time. I have turned into such a wimp!!! LOL

See y'all in the morning!!!

Nighty night~~

Hi everybody!

I am posting real quick while we have few minutes before macy has to get dressed for school. She woke up at 4....yep you read correctly..4. And did not go back to sleep. So, I wrote her teacher a note telling her that dd will probably be cranky as the day goes on. Until she gets used to the transition of waking early and going to sleep early it will probably be difficult. I thought she would be more tired...guess not. Who knows!

I will bbl to do some personals!

Love ya'll!

Good morning............... so the issue with my moms boobs is not over yet. NOT RA, but some uncommon reaction to radiation that usually shows itself 6-12 year aFTER exposure... has a long name that I will find out later today when I go to the doc with her. Apparently its pretty rare and there aren't a bunch of documented cases BUT the dermatologist at the Cancer institute has seen it and treated it before, so he squeezed her in today before his 2 week vacation.

180.2 today........

Have a great great great day.

      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.
