Good morning, could have stayed in bed forever today!!! Then got on the scale and gained 4 pounds?????????????????? The only thing I ate yesterday that wasn't a great choice is a peice of italian bread!! I did not exercise, but that doesn't make you gain weight!! Oh well, I think it is that I am puffy, wish I could get something for this problem!!

Jen are you feeling better?

Terry and Kat, I would love to go to Colorado, that is one place I would like to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle, Haydee, and Pamela, would love a 'lost weekend', I am so jealous. I get to go to a wedding instead!!!

Laura love the pictures of Carson, he seems to really look and pay attention to what he is seeing, and the smile is not a muscle spasm!!! He is just very advanced!!

About a month to go huh Heather? I bet that is the hardest mentally!!

Suzie I hope you are enjoying your breakfast!! I think that is really neat that your family gets together like that.

Tracy, Tracy, Tracy, way to go with the workouts!! I wish I was as motivated as you!!! Does Jason make housecalls????

Judy, that was funny when I saw the article on the pasties, then I found another one in the magazine, that is why it had two in it!!

Okay I am off to get motivated?

Gonna go run see what the nutritional value of blackeyed peas are. Hope not too bad...they are for supper. Oh well, whatever it is I will just not overdo it.

Jane....4 pounds overnight is Water weight. I need to ask Jason if he makes house calls!!

hi guys

just winding down from my day, spend so much time on the computer finishing things up and starting new things up here.

I'm nervous about my potential new job, i've never done marketing... but i love and promote the company so can't be too hard. right?

I should know next week, but I'm going to apply for a job i found today with our electric company, great benefits

I am feeling a little better... but my stomach is a mess from the antibiotics. afraid to get on the scale - i'm eating not much but crap that makes my tummy feel better...

anyway, freaking about everything... but wanted to pop in and say hello to you all...

I don't feel like i'm part of the crew anymore... kind of makes me sad... but i won't leave ya'll like unwanted kittens...

Oh great.. we're back to TracyK's white legs in here again!!

Jenn... you'll always be a part of the crew! All it takes is a post here every once in awhile. We know you're busy and worried. We're always here and appreciate it whenever you can leave us a message. Hope you get good news on the job that you want.

Jane.. Water pills are wonderful. I take one 2x a week. I used to take one every day, but found I don't need them that much anymore.

Bob has left me........... just til Saturday! I'm going to go out shopping as soon as Ethan goes home. Haven't been out and about by myself just to browse in ages. Gotta get some Alabama clothes!

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Stopping by for a few minutes.

Breakfast this morning was great. I couldn't get over all the people that showed up. It was wonderful. From there hubby had to drop me off at my hair appointment, I was running late. As usual she cut it a little too short. That's ok because in a few weeks it will be just right.

Kat, I really don't want a full time job but when someone needs to take some time off for whatever reason they have, I'm more than happy to step in and take their shift. I just hope they will do the same if I need their help. My boss has a hard time finding people. Everyone wants full-time, benefits and more than $6.50 an hour. This is a perfect job for some housewife that isn't relying on the money to live off of and something that gets them out of the house periodically. Like me.

We are under a tornado watch till 8pm.

I dunno, I've never been scared, I guess from growing up with it and no matter how close it gets it has never affected my house..knock on wood!!

I was up feeding Carson and looking out the window and the wheat field behind us went absolutely flat for about 2 seconds and then it was done.

Apparently a lot of houses lost windows and roofs were torn off, I didn't realize it was that bad when it happened.

My eating today was not too bad, but I did drink with lunch and dinner, so I am giving myself just a star, I am going to get in bed, so no excerise.

Have a good night and yay for Friday!!

Good morning violets~

My thighs feel 85% better. I soaked in a steaming hot bath last night. Wish I would have done it sooner!

We have appts with our trainers @ 9AM. I was gonna weigh today but for some reason I do not feel like I have lost anything so I will wait. I feel good, so that is good enough for right now :D

Wow, so many things racing around in my head but I can't think of what to say...can you believe..ME?? Not knowing what to say! ;)

Have a great day violets...respect the pouch!

Jane-hope today is a better day for ya! ;)

      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.
