Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!



Recommended Posts

It was dreamy! And when I got back and was telling my family about it my sisters said I sounded like a documentary person on TV, LOL. Too funny! I was just really excited to see that part of Mexico. I'm proud of my heritage but when I visit where I am from it's just so sad to see the state that it's in. Then I visit these places where they've tried to remain authentic and old world and it makes me so proud to come from there...

Laura - can't wait to see baby! And yes, i'm with Michelle. I think she might have meant first rush of the day... I would not make a good pregnant laday if we had to stay off sugar for the duration...

Good afternoon, Violets..

Back from my shift and I just finished making the ham and cheese Soup. We'll have that for lunch and Talapia for supper. I've had 1 liter of Water so far and a cup of cottage cheese with peaches.

Off to add the sour cream to the soup and wait for Ethan to arrive.

Haydee.. so glad to have you back!!! Sounds like a wonderful trip.

Yes Haydee, I am surprised they pried you away to come home!!!

We had plans of a tour through Mexico that some friends took, and it was through the little authentic places, they still rave about it. Then come the 9/11 tragedy, and all the security that ensued from that, and now I cannot get a passport! Which just saying it reminds me, I need to get moving on fixing that situation. I plan on going and changing everything from my SS card to my drivers license to having my full name, and even intend to hyphenate my last name to make it harder to match. I have had enough of being a possible threat to society!!!

I have laundry going, and my beds changed....I need to go shovel some snow. But I feel like hell. I was up most of the night with an earache. Kinsey is down with it too, so we might just stay in our jammies, and work in the house today, and not even venture outside!

Rick took my van to work. It handles soooo well in the ice and snow. And we left his car at the farm and had brought the truck home, which even with the 4WD handles like crap on the ice! It is an F250, deisel pickup--but it is like on the ice, the front end out weighs the back end so much you fishtail all over. And it is a big truck, so when you are in traffic, there is no room for the back end to be acting all hinky.....so, he has my van. Manda caught a ride up to work with one of the guys, so if I need it I have her car, but really do not intend on leaving home!!!

Medicated the girl, and she is snoring hard. She is coughing so much, I gave her half a Triaminic cough strip--------and that's all she wrote!

So far this morning, I listened to Manda complain that she sent Kinsey to her Dads with 3 pairs of jeans and got none of them back.......so she is mad. I know she will get them back---he is just VERY unorganized.

Then my DIL called, and my son got his DD and her brother for the weekend, and she is complaining that they picked them up, and they come running to the car as is. No extra clothes---nothing. So they had to go buy socks, underwear, clothes, jammies--everything. Then his DD got unhappy when he kept them for when she visits next....

I am so glad I am not dealing with it any longer, I had all the same issues when Manda would occasionally see her Dad. And when the kids come to us it was always empty handed.

Jane-----better call the Dr. If we are on pins and needles, I can only imagine how you feel!!

Gonna go change laundry, BBL!!

Haydee, the vacay sounds loverly! I have a surprise for you that I'll throw in the mail this week.

It is nice to be back to work, although I complained for a few days. I am very blessed to even have a job in these hard times, and to have a job I love. I missed the little babies, and it is nice to see their faces again!

OK...gotta go teach figurative language to the natives!

It's also VERY nice to get a paycheck each month for the work I did for 32 years. AND I start getting another paycheck from the government in July. I feel very blessed.

Piehole report so far today.... I need to be accountable.

1 cup cottage cheese with peaches

1 liter water

2 cups ham and cheese soup

1 small slice cheese

1 50 cent size slice of bologna from Ethan's lunch

1 cup lo fat chocolate milk

We're trying to do the potty training with Ethan and it's NOT working. He sat on the potty chair for a little bit and read a book and got up and when I pulled his diaper up, little poop pellets fell out on the floor and one of the yorkies..... well, let's just say.. he got some extra Protein in his diet today.. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I think I'm a little too old to be potty training again. I'm at the stage of my life when I need the training to make sure I get to the john in time!!!!!

Pamela, got the Christmas card back that I sent you. I sent it to your po box #. I checked just now and it is the address that I have written in my address book. I also sent you a congrats card, did you get that? Bizarre, maybe it is the post office that has Michelles package!!

From my ss Haydee I got a bath and body works relaxation/aromatherapy basket, complete with everything needed to relax me, including a pillow for the tub!! I also got back Haydee's birthday card a few weeks ago, I sent it to her po box, but I think it said it was closed.

I am in a funk, I take anti depressants, but I don't think they are working!! I HATE calling Dr.s. I don't even know for sure the Dr. who did the broncoscopy's name, let alone where his office is. I am waiting for the nurse to call me about a fill. I am hoping maybe by late January, I will be ready for a fill.

YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT ON YOUR POUCH TEST!!!!!!

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        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
