Candice--looking for Peter update?

Steph and Karri--looking?

Melsky had his biopsy yesterday. Should get results tomorrow. Very sad day at work: My closest co-worker and friend's husband died unexpctedally--54 years old--heart attack--two late-teenaged daughters. We're all just reeling. My job to tell students and figure out how to cover her classes. This is the second friend who lost her husband in a month--the first was a car accident.

Ah Linda; I am praying tonight for you and Mel... Keeping positive thoughts for a negative result. I am so sorry to hear about your 54 year old friend. GOsh that is just too young to die.

Janet: yup, you are right on the money... food not good this week... Im not going to say I'll do better or be accountable... my w/l struggles are just getting to be too damn boring and predictable....

Phyl; Tell Earl that you were never in danger, Janet is a GOOD driver, you gotta speed up now and then to get around the idiots.

Karla; How is Alysia??? How are you?? Did you get your sleep caught up?

WEll, got my Lt Hip checked out yesterday... not arthritis, but rather bursitis... which still hurts, but its only temporary. Doc gave me a note for a Physiotherapist, and Celebrex... I'm not going to the physio until after our camping trip and the elections... too much going on in the next 2 weeks. Oh yeah, and um, my little "Unmentionable" rash is B A C K... argh!!! Itchy, nasty thing... gosh when will I learn NOT to use Personal Wet Wipes... it was right after that ... boom!!! So I am doubling up with Benadryl and putting ICE on my who-who.... o.k. stop your laughing!!!:thumbup:

Candice, thanks, I needed a chuckle today!! But I am sorry.

DD#4 says she isn't better, but I am beginning to question it. I am wondering if it isn't a result of her not taking her antidepressants? The or very 'active' extra curricular activities...if you know what I mean. But I do hope she starts feeling better.

Linda..I'm so sorry. It just reminds us to live each day. AND prayers for Mel, things are going to be okay. Unfortunately you know to much medicine not to be worried! Hang in there.

My band doc emailed to see how I was doing so I have begged for a fill. I have zero restriction. So he said IF I am healed in two weeks then we can talk about a fill, grrr. But I understand I did it to myself. I hate finding myself cruising for food. I haven't all summer and really thought I was over my food adiction, yeah right. Today I snarfed a salad so fast that I don't even remember eating it, then there was the apple and 3, yes 3 laughing cow light wedges, and then, oh crap, I can't tell you about that. Okay 3 tootsie pop suckers. They were for a lab and there were some left over. Tomorrow they go. I feel like I am a bloated pig bumping around like a Macy's parade balloon.

I'm still tired, which makes me eat more, but I have a lot of homework to do, so now time to sleep. Well back to the books!

Candice - Hugs on the food struggle - wish I had some magic answers - Sorry about the rash.. Not laughing ;0) just smiling

Karla - Your food wasn't that bad - I don't know the calories in the sucker - but can't be that bad - looked it up 60 - as long as you didn't drown your salad in dressing you should be ok

We are suppose to eat - not starve - ...

Well I'm pooped too - and it makes me want to eat too - I have veggies cooking ...

Think I am going to veg..

Janet, nope I don't drown my salad with dressing. It is light yogurt ranch and it is mainly veggies and spinach with diced ham and feta. But I feel like I'm stuffed and I hate that feeling.

So very sorry about your friend's death.

That's so awful! Too young to die!

Will pray for wife and family!

Glad Mel had his biopsy! Keep us posted!

You know his bark is worse than his bite!! I'm ready to go to the outlet mall or that other place you like any time you say the word..... "shopping", that is! LOL

What wet wipes do you use??

I buy Cottonelle and they don't do that to you!

Glad the hip is something temporary! Mine is bugging me again. I have been trying to get an appt w/spine clinic for 2 weeks!! Went there again today and took them DVD with my x-rays from March on it. Now she says she needs the report!! Give me a break!! It's the same hospital system.... Eisenhower! You would think the could get it off the freakin' computer! I have called there repeatedly and today was my 2nd time to go over there in person and I still don't have an appt!!

Sorry for your struggles!! What more can I say! Didn't I confess about popping Papaya the last two nights!! None tonight!! And I'm afraid of them now because I think they might have contributed to my problems last spring!!

If you are stuffed then why do you need a fill - you are suppose to eat girl.. losing weight isn't about not eating - it's about eating healthy and Portion Control & exercise...

So very sorry about your friend's death.

I didn't think he really meant it - Shopping - well don't know if I will be doing that for a while - just paid off the family vacation - 7 weeks away - don't think I need anything thing and right now not WANTING anything ;0)

Me too - bella is the problem now - I think I threw (not really) but put her on the floor at 4:30 I was just to freaking pooped to get up..

OH my gosh, I woke up to YAKING Dogs too!!! Twig decided to eat grass last night... so his dinner didn't digest... blecht!!

AT least he had the decency to do it on the hardwood floor and NOT the bed...

I didn't find any wet spots - and she went when I got up at 5 - but this 4;30 wake up isn't cutting it..

Just a drive by - I'm to tired to think or type - just wanted to say hi - I need some down time..

Linda - we need to know what's going on - hugs and prayers

Linda, ditto, hang in there girl!

Janet, I think I am heading into hibernation mode. I am just wanting to curl up and sleep. Maybe I'll turn into a bear, fatten up during the summer, develop an anal plug and sleep. Other than the freezing your butt off, being a bear can't be all that bad. Of course I probably would become a rug or something!

I know I need to eat, and I am eating healthy, it is just that I want to eat all the time. Today, was 1 ounce of cheese, 2 wheat thin flatbreads, 1 cup of Tomato Soup, 1/2 apple with 2 laughing cow light wedges, 1 cup of grapes, 1/2 a biscuit, and then dinner. I haven't had dinner yet.

Yep, I agree on the down time, ttfn

Earl is feeling better, but still complaining of sinus drainage and ear aches. Over a week on antibiotics now. Follow up appt is Tuesday afternoon. Thanks for asking. He's trying hard to cope with the heat today, too. I asked him to please not turn on the a/c until at least 3 pm! I hate having the windows all closed up, blinds closed and a/c on!!

Holy Cow!! You have a busy week coming up!!

No shopping??!! Bummer! I don't have room for anything anyway! I'm surprised I didn't catch any flack for the things I bought last week before Vegas!!

Hope Bella lets you sleep a little later this weekend! One morning this week Zoey decided to walk on my face and neck a little after 7 a.m. because I was a little later than usual waking up! That pretty much did it... very effective. Sprawl yourself across my neck and lick my eyes. Then I slipped off the cpap mask and she thoroughly cleaned my nose!

C'mon, Linda.... we're waiting anxiously for an update on Mel!

Linda, ditto, hang in there girl!

Hibernation is a GREAT idea!!

I love those Wheat Thin Flatbreads. I often have two of them in the evening with a little FF cream cheese.

Tracy is going to be depressed this weekend.... high winds are forecast for the Pacific NW

and 3-5 inches of rain!!!

:biggrin::frown::thumbup::frown::tongue:

I've been exercising hard every morning.. in the pool... I say "HARD" because I'm working when everyone else is talking!! LOL! Except Earl... he does all the exercises, too. And I double time most of them. Not bragging... but.. just to make a point... my hip is hurting again and then Earl says... you're not exercising enough!! YES, I AM!! But it hurts anyway! Tried to walk the dog today after lunch. Well, to begin with.. she refused to walk. Planted her feet and refused to move and then sprawled on the asphalt and was going to stay there and sun herself! But I couldn't have walked anyway... left hip hurt too much. I'm going to call that doctor's office AGAIN!!! Neighbor told me doctors there are great buy staff is awful and NEVER return your phone calls!! Surely they have received the FAX with the x-ray report by now!!!

      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.
