Well so far my tongue is still the same size, my lungs are taking in oxygen, and I haven't turned into one giant hive! My boob has gone from one giant rock to many midsized boulders now, so progress is being made.

The pain seems to be easing up some, but I pretty much didn't sleep last night. Went to bed at 9 but woke up at 12:30 WIDE AWAKE...ugh. Fell back to sleep at 3:45ish and woke up at 5. Umm...I'm a little tired.

I need to go grade some papers and get some food for lunch so I will check back in later.

Karri, I am so glad that the antibiotics are working!~!! Hall-le-lu-ya for that... Don't forget the ICE PACKS too if you still have pain and discomfort!!!

Steph - Hugs on your postal lady you told us a little murder/suicide - how sad... What about your procunies (sp)

Karla - At least you are reading what the calories are of those snack size candies ;0) !!!!

Candice are you painting today..

Well, this is drive by - I gotta hit the shower

CBL

Hey there, yes i WAS painting today... have tomorrow off then back at it THRUS and FRIDAY... hopefully I'll be done on Friday....

It's lookiing mighty FINE if I do say so myself!!!

Just had {Janet} dinner , TILAPIA FISH, Sauteed Veggies, Rice... I gave myself a good sized peice of fish , cause I need more protien... only got about 3 oz. in... then the veggies/rice.

Set my timer for 1 hour so I can HAVE my tea!!!

Went to the DOctors today on my lunch... she froze my leg and cut out a nasty looking MOLE that I've had forever... only lately the little buggar has been changing colour and size, and getting flaky.... Ummmm Doc didn't like it, so she sent it for BIOPSY, but she said she was 99% sure it is not cancer... I go back in 10 days to get the stitches out...

Now NOONE will want to see my thighs!!!! :(

Good Evening Gang

Aint going to the gym- I am pooped - so will do some wii instead (well maybe ;0)

Candice I missed this yesterday

1) Eat EVERY 3 hours, weather I am HUNGRY or not...

2) Each time I eat, it must include PROTIEN -

You mean you didnt - I might not have hard Protein for bf but yogurt does have pt in it -

3) No drinking with meals ( i wasn't doing this) but I need to WAIT One full HOUR before beverages.< /p>

4) Between meals I must drink MORE water... he thinks I am dehydrated and that's causing fluctuations in my B/P... (makes sense) I HAVE BEEN BAD ON Water MAYBE THAT'S WHY MY HEAD HURT TODAY

5) I must NOT skip Breakfast, under any circumstances... if I am TIGHT, then have a pro shake or pro bar, cut up in very tiny peices. I EAT BF 5 DAYS NOT SO MUCH ON THE WEEKENDS BUT SOMETIMES I DO

6) I must stop saving Calories to Eat at night... to the detriment of rule #1 & #2... if I am going to snack in the evenings it must include a protien source...ie. pc of cheese, then the popcorn... or NUTS, then a SF, FF pudding or yogurt

THIS I DISAGREE WITH NOT BUDGETING CALORIES /BUT THAT'S JUST DR JANET - AND SF PUDDING & YOGURT DOES HAVE PT - NUTS HAVE ALOT OF CALORIES SO BE CAREFUL

7) strive to eat more veggies and fruit, and if I can't tolerate them... then I may need a slight Un-fill... AGREED I EAT meat AND VEGGIES FOR lunch & dinner 99% OF THE TIME AND FRUIT IN THE MORNING..

8) No carb. beverages.. (o.k. cause I don't drink them anyways)

He said I was "setting my body up for failure" because I was NOT eating enough protien, plus with working out at the gym 4 times per week, I need MORE cals on those days... up to 1250 cals... and increase PROTIEN...

So I think I can do this and refocus myself... eat more HIGH quality foods and less junk... he didn't say to completely eliminate sugar, but I think I'll do that anyways... gotta get the cravings under control....

YEP GF YOU KNEW ABOUT EATING JUNK !!! IT'S ABOUT EATING HEALTHY - I HAVE BEEN PREACHING THAT FOR 2.5 YRS ;0)

Glad you are refocused

Well - tmi - I a constipated !!!! I haven't been drinking enough water - took some phillip hope it works..

Just got a phone call from one of my quilting friends...one of our quilting ladies has been rapidly loosing weight and we have been really worried, nagging her to go to the doctor. She was put in the hospital last week and they found nothing. Finally had some more tests...she has lymphoma..in the back and abdomen, plus Graves disease. This is a death sentence and it is going to happen soon. This sucks, she is in her 50's, so ladies, live life to the fullest. I am done with would haves & should haves. I am going to grab each day. I don't want to watch her die. And her husband is an a--hole. Has cheated on her for years. Was going to leave, but the kids through a fit, so as a good catholic girl, she stayed and her life has been miserable. I hate this...she is an awesome artist and quilter. She was always going to paint a portrait of my girls.

Good morning,

TMI ALERT!!! So 1 hive on my left forearm and one on the right side of my face (not too bad) but I think my TRUE allergy is the runs!!!! YIKES! Started last night and this morning...holy hell!

Okay TMI Alert over.

I finished my taxes last night and we are getting something back. I was a little worried that we would end up paying as I was doing them, but Turbo Tax does weird things and saves up the deductions until the end! So I should have my refund on Feb 12. Janet I will send you a check then.

My fill has loosened way up already. I'm not as hungry but I can still eat way too much. If my doctor's office is open on President's day I will go in then, if not I am going to have wait until we come back from our Philadelphia/WA DC trip at the end of March. We booked our flight yesterday. We are intentionally taking a red eye to maximize our time!!! We leave Seattle at 11:25 pm and get into Philadelphia around 9AM!!! I am SOOOO excited. The only time I have been to the east coast is when I went to Disney World.

Well I got some things to get done for my AP Chemistry class today. Chat later

Going to go get my FIL! I'm so excited. I'm sure he's dying to get out of that hospital bed. Poor man must feel like a caged tiger. I guess the doc came in last night and told him he could go home last night....Dale looked at him like he was nuts and said, I need a LITTLE bit of notice, ya know. So I'm sure he's packed and sitting on his bed like Gump just waiting. Jeff's doing a little more detail work and then we are off.

Talk to you later ladies!

Karri, the diarhea is not an allergic response...its because the antibiotics are so strong that in addition to killing the nasty bacteria in your boobs, they ALSO killl the GOOD bacteria in the GUT...your intestines... You may also get a Yeast infection vaginally... but its an inconvenience while your BOOBS get better... try some immodium for the runs. And canestin for the vag(if you get caught there too)

(((hugs))) you'll be better soon...

She gave me diflucan to take to prevent the yeast infection because I will get one.

I had to take some immodium today because I was running to the bathroom constantly.

I just found out that our classes are canceled on Friday, Feb 26 because our kids are going to some college conference. As a result...I'm going to get another fill. Yipeee. This one is helping but it isn't going to cut it. I need to be a little bit tighter. I shouldn't be able to eat this amount of food.

Well I suppose that I should attempt to teach some physics.

Chat later.

Long day, survived the university person who is in charge of our masters coming to observe me. It always stresses me out. Then a meeting on a student and store, post office, home, shower, and sitting here drinking my latte. Don't plan on moving.

Since we are on TMI, I'll add my 2 bits. My prolapse is hanging way low again. Having difficulty urinating and the icepick in the bladder every time a take a step is getting old. If never use to 'jolt' when I walked and now it does. I guess when the pain gets bad enough I'll finally go to the doctor. About the only 'correction' left is to use a peccuary. Now I couldn't use tampons, who thinks I can live with a device wedged up there?

Okay, sorry, long day!

You'll be fine with the PESSARY I wore one for years before my surgery repair work... Once it is inserted you dont feel it as its up at your cervix and wedged in to you pelvic bone so it stays in place.. you can even have SEX with it in.. I used to take mine out 1 x per week to give it a good scrub, then pop it back in...just think of putting contacts in for the first time.. its just a learned skill

Did your doctor ever grade your prolapse? is it a 1, 2 3 or 4... cause if its a 3 or a 4.. you could end up with an ulceration. So get it looked at.

Also, (and I am saying this with love!) don't go back to the nursery job doing all that HEAVY lifting.. that is just making matters worse... Find a summer tutoring job, something that's less taxing physically. You do enough heavy work around your house cause theres no Man to help you.

      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.
