Good Morning Gang….

Phyl – Hugs – maybe it’s time for Kurtis to learn that he can’t have it his way – Tough love is hard but it’s needed sometimes… Hugs on your Mom – hope that it’s nothing too bad – My Sis should get out today – I will call later it’s to early now..

Janet, I am sorry but forgot to ask about your Sister. What is wrong with her

WTG on 196 !!!!! You need to slow down a bit and get well - Hugs

Candice – I am glad you are reading Beck – like Karri say’s it’s in your face and it counters all the excuses you make as to why you can’t do stuff.

Absolutely, until I started reading this book I didn't realize (admit to myself) that I was DELUSIONAL in my thinking... it makes sense to me know... it IS the BAND around my head :( thanks so much for recommending it. I told my GF Dardar all about it today too. She has always struggled with her weight too . The definition of INSANITY is always doing the same thing ( over eating, & sweets) and expecting to get different results (dah, lose weight permanently)

Karla – Hugs on the house falling thru – that’s means it wasn’t meant to be – but something will come along…

Yes, Karla THERE IS a house out there just for YOU...

Denise - Keep us posted ok - What are you giving up for lent :0)

Happy Ash Wednesday at your Catholics out there :D

Ok this has to be drive by – I gotta get to work – Joseph & family here yesterday – tonite going to have Melissa’s Mom Stepdad – bro his wife – and their 2 kids – PLEASE PLEASE Pray for me - I can’t wait for some recharging time…

Oh Janet, you've had nothing but visitors and FAMILY the last while (hugs to you) have you started becoming an alcoholic yet!!! :thumbup:

Went shopping today to COSTCO.... $179 later.... but I am proud of myself... I bought ALL healthy foods.

Protien bars, an assortment so I don't get bored

Protien shakes, already in a tetra pak singles, so I can grab-n-go in emergencies

SCALLOPS, the BIG ones, I cooked them (3) in EVOO and 1/2 cup of leftover RICE.... delicious

So it's been a good, clean day....:thumbdown:

Quick stop, need to go do master's work. Dad got to take a shower today. He had to have 3 people help and was exhausted afterwards, but if helps give him some feeling of independence. Mom said that dad said it is getting harder to breathe. So the final process has begun. They have him on max oxygen, can't do more without intebating him and that is against his DNR. His remaining good lung, the other is collapsed, is filling with Fluid until he drowns. But he isn't in pain, right now he is on a morphine patch. mom & I talked about if the pain gets to bad we will insist that they give him a pump or shots as he requests. Mom got permission to bring dad's kitty in, but dad says not yet, he doesn't want to upset the kitty.

Best go get some work done. Thanks everyone,

Hi Everyone,

I did the fluro on Mon. I have an appt. with the dr. next Thurs. I would hope if something was wrong they would have wanted to see me right away. They sent the report to the dr. I have the films. I have looked at them 10 times. I hope the dr. is not POed about my fingerprints all over the place. I'm obsessed. I've been googling problems. It looks ok to me. Who knows?

Phyl, have you gone to the doctor? Sounds almost like you might have bronchitis or something? If you don't get better soon, you might need to go back!

Janet, hope your sister is better soon, enjoy your company.

Went to the doctor last week in Seattle. No fever now, cough in the morning mostly, aches are back tonight but we had a very busy day today with DD & SIL here now.

Good Morning Girls !!!!

Sounds like the gal Tracy & Jim described that was sitting with them on the plane yesterday. Tracy just wanted to take a nap but she said the chick never shut up for 2 1/2 hr flight!

Yeah, I definitely could use a break... just stay on th couch and rest for a few days!!! Not in the near future though! I think we're going to the fair tomorrow. Saturday Chris is hoping to fly his plane down and have lunch with us. Sunday we go to Temecula and visit Jim's son and family. We have hotel reservation for that night. Monday we're driving over to San Diego and have hotel reservations for there Monday night so we can do some sightseeing Mon/Tues. They fly back to Seattle Tuesday night about 6pm. Makes me tired just thinking about the next four days!!!

Just payed off my credit card, whoooooooooohoooooooooo!!!! I have a zero balance!!!

Good for you!!! Congrats!

      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.
