Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!



Recommended Posts

Good evening, Violets..

I just got my Grady fix. Kris and Nathan dropped him off here while they went grocery shopping. I got to hold him for almost an hour. So kewl. I have pics I'll post in a little bit.

Terry.. I've got the chicken in the oven as I type. It sure smells good. I added onion flakes, parsley and minced garlic to the recipe. I almost called you from Walmart today. I was there getting a birthday card for Jen's son and decided to get the ingredients for the chicken, but I didn' thave the recipe with me. Luckily I remembered all of it. Reception isn't very good in Walmart so I didn't want to call and then not be able to hear you or you understand me.. lol

I've spent most of the day recording our concert onto the computer so I could burn it to a CD. Finally got that figured out and now have to make copies for the group.

Off to work on some choir music and then look forward to Desperate Housewives tonight. Catch ya later!

Hi gals

what a weekend

Laura - you look so cute and prego, i didn't look it, just fat!

Terry - when i had my fever last month I remember you telling horror story, so i took some of ds's liquid motrin and flushed and was ok, but i don't want to get used to taking it for the scary reason, i may need it one day

Tracyk - thanks .... I don't know where things are going with kev, but believe it or not, he came to hang with my mom, who he has not seen in over a year, she said she was impressed and saw he was different.

so who knows, but he is trying hard and we have been working hard on all the issues of the past to move on, i hope together, but can move on and forget the past. did that make sense???

i have been sick as a dog since my birthday, aparently pizza cheese and onion chips are bad when you don't have a gall bladder to process or filter out that stuff, everything is going right through me for 4 days

hi everyone else, i had a bunch of stuff, but ds is starving and have to get him dinnner

Terry.. the chicken was yummy. I had 3 chicken breasts and we ended up sharing one so I have plenty of left overs for a couple of lunches.

I'm really tired tonight and trying to keep my eyes open to watch Desperate Housewives.

PamELa can't get online.. her internet and phone is down. She posted on Facebook from a friend's house and said to say hi to everyone.

Everyone have a great night!! sleep well.

I don't take the Aleve on a daily basis. I actually only take some about every 3 weeks. I have a really high pain tolerance and just forgo any meds till I really need them. I seem to do really good with the Aleve. Not so much with the Tylenol. But I do agree with the size of the Aleve being a problem. I'll have to look for the little round ones instead of the oblong. Or just go ahead and bite them in half and than swallow. I do that with Tylenol when I take it.

I'm so proud of my nephew for making the decision to check himself in. A big part of it is that he has been dating this girl for about a year now and she was never aware of how bad it had gotten. He hid it from her. Well now that he has really fallen in love with her he see that he needs to get himself better so that he can provide a good life for her. He has his application in at the Union hall to become an Electrician like his brother. He knows that they will be drig testing him. So I had a talk with the girlfriend today and my niece and I both told her that we felt that it was his love for her that made him make this decision to get help. We stayed for about 2 1/2 hours with him and had some good talks with him. You should have seen the boat load of crap we took to him. Little Debbies, Gummy candies, PB crackers, runts, peanuts and his very favorite- Starbursts. Oh, and pringles. He's good till next Sunday. Thank you all for keeping him in your prayers.

I'm off to bed now. I'm very tired. All of this emotional stuff and than working out as much as I do each week is really catching up with me.

Have a great night, hugs to you all.

Still haven't done my taxes yet.

Tomorrow I go in for my Iron infusion!!

Maybe I can run to Alabama instead!!!!!!!!!

If you could only see me acting out my super powers!!

Boy are these random thoughts or what?

Have a good night and don't let the bed bugs bite!!!

HERE!!!!!

Sent you all an email, will let that suffice for my morning post.

Terry got your message, and I have no way to explain the feeling, but the closest is just plain fear. I want him to CHOOSE to leave, so he leaves here ok with us.

I think I fear him going postal basically. There I said it. I see him slipping, tho no one else says they do, so maybe it is my past seeing things. who knows????

Anyway I do not wanna be on one of his lists...........

BBL--laundry calls.

Woooo hooooo, we're in business again!!! That sure was a long fix it time. And I didn't have nuthin' to do with it, Michelle!!!

It's been a pretty quiet day here today. Ethan, Grampa and I went outside with all the dogs and let them play for awhile. It's beautiful out. 45 degrees with lots of sun. We have the hot tub open. It got a little too chlorine-y because I haven't used it enough. The sun will burn off some of the chlorine and I will get in it tonight and start using it nightly now that the temps are warming up and the snow is melting.

I went on poop patrol and got rid of a lot of it, but I know as soon as another layer of snow melts, there will be more poop to scoop.

I have corned beef and veggies in the crock pot. At 4 I take everything out and put the cabbage in for an hour. Sure hope it tastes good! We had some of Terry's chicken for lunch. That really is a yummy recipe.

Ethan's mom comes at 4 to pick him up and then I have rehearsal tonight from 7-9.

Nice to have the site back. BBL....

Ta Da! I went to the Y all by myself & walked on the treadmill for 45 mins! (Man my legs are tingley!) Yay me!

I need to get serious about training for the 30-mile MS walk in June. My plan is to walk for increasing lengths of time on M,W,F,S or S, then weights on T & TH...

Eating has been good today, as well.

Phew.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
