WOW! 161 Pages already! You guys are going strong for realz!

So, I emailed Indio (I think) wanted to make sure I was on the correct thread.

My husband and I are currently in Seattle....the surgeries are COMPLETE!

I had the Belt Lipectormy (abdominoplasty, flank lift, and butt lift) on 2/2 and yesterday I had a breast lift and chin Lipo.< /p>

I really healed AMAZING! The Belt was actually quite easy...the lipo hurts more than anything! I've been out walking the malls, Pike's Place Market, downtown tonight (although one-day out today after surgery I was a bit tired). Have some plans for tomorrow, but the rest of the week is RELAX until we head home on Wed.

Used Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder and am VERY happy!

Thanks for all the support and help!

Hi Marcie, nice to hear from you. I'm gonna have to google that op to find out about it.

Candice- I waited all week for the opening ceremonies. I started watching, and it wasn't much. I was kinda disappointed. The countries walked out and I figured I was gonna go to bed. So I wash my dishes and start up the stairs. DH still has the tv on. So I go back and look and I see some show starting after the countries are done. So I sit and watch.

OMG!!!!!!!

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!

ALMOST AS GOOD AS WINNING THE FREAKING SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!! :thumbdown::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Ya, the whole thing was Wonderful!!! Especially Rick Hanson with the FLAME into the stadium at the end.. and of course the GREAT ONE, Wayne Gretzki....

I was surprised though that Celine Dion was not included? That was weird....

The OPERA singer at the end and the French Guy singing sucked but other than that I was Extremly Proud of the whole production...

Two weeks of FUN ahead... lets all watch!~~~

Bad news...good news.

Got a call as school this morning from mom, the doctor called and said he didn't think dad would make it through the morning. Wrote the fasted sub notes in the history of teaching and headed for the 7 hour drive. Made it in 4...don't ask. Dad is still with us, and made a bit of a rally, so who knows. Doc NOW thinks he may make it for a couple of weeks. So I will stay the weekend and see what happens.

Good news...sold my house while driving 87 mph on the interstate. We countered, they countered,,.. actually came up with a deal that will give me enough for a down.

Unfortunately there is state wrestling tourney in Billings, so rooms are pretty scarce. Go one...barely.

Anyway, IF dad hangs in there, the plan is to move him to a nursing facility in Roundup, I'll head home so DD#4 can take the 6 tests she has this week, and I'll find a house, then back on the road.

Lost my debit card at a gas station half way here. Called them, and someone actually turned it in. God is definitely looking after me.

I'm going to take a show and go to bed.

Candice thank you. Talked with the doc and he said as long as dad is eating and drinking, he will make it for 1 to 2 weeks, they are planning are moving him to the nursing home on Monday. The facility is in Roundup so his sisters can come and visit. Dad is one of 12 children. He really enjoys the company.

Its too quiet here!! Where is everyone.

I'm at Seatac waiting to board my flight back to Palm Springs. I just treated myself to a Cosmo, cup of chowder and oysters appetizer for Valentines Day! Earl was willing to take me out when I arrive, but that's not until 6pm and I think I'll just want a little wine and cheese and watch Olympics.

I'm Home !!!

Karla - Hugs on your Dad - Congrats on the house !!!

Marcy - WTG - got your message - You got to tell us more -

I have been gone just got back

OMG what a time

I had an experience of a life time getting to my mentor thread reunion - I was up at 3 a.m. on Thrusday (after going to bed after midnite) - Met Eva at DFW - had lunch walked around then our 8 p.m. flight wasn't showing up on the boards - do I called to see if the 8 p.m. flight was cancelled it was - Talked to the ticket guy on the phone - we could get a flight to Ft Meyers - so we ran to the ticket window

the ticket girl was great - they only had 1 seat available - we said we wouldn't fly without each other - she put us both on stand by and got us on the plane - Thanks Robin (that was her name;0)

Got on plane at 6 - plane didn't take off till 11 p.m (de-icing) got to Ft Meyers at 1 a.m. - rented a car - got to hotel at 2 - hell didn't get to sleep until after 4 a.m. up at 8:40 and on the road by 9:30 - Any Yes Phyl I ck'd my bag - no clothes or make up..

Got to the resort about 12:45 pm on Friday - was originally suppose to be there 4:05 on Thrusday..

Candice - I am about to go and watch the Olympic's right now - I heard from the Canadain gentleman who sat next to me on the plane from Dallas to Palm Springs that we have one a gold..

Phyl - Hugs...

Karri - Hugs

Gang I am pooped - I will post later and incl pics but I gotta veg

I'm home for now, flew home like crazy. I looked at 5 houses, none of them totally thrill me, but what do you expect for $130,000. The house I can live with is next to the police department. That is probably a good thing...I guess. The house is good, the yard sucks, no privacy, but has a good chainlink fence. No garage or carport. Here is the link:

MLS#10000807 Stevensville Montana (Residential Property)

So let me know what you think. I'm exhausted. My sister talked to the doctor after I left and he says that dad is fighting to stay alive for us. We did talk to him about his final wishes. He kept thinking we were talking about his money, which is none. He wants no service no coffin, cremeted and sprinkled in the hills that he grew up in. I'm not thinking about the fact that I probably have seen him for the last time. My sister and I talked about telling dad that it is okay to 'go'. He still talks about getting strong enough to go home. Mom says that he doesn't know that this is the end. I don't know what to do. Do we tell him to go, which tells him that this is the end? or do we keep up the pretence and he keeps stuggling to hang on.

I need a little 'down' time.

      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.
