I think it is that eggs don't break down very well.. even the smallest pieces act like little bouncy balls..... but who knows!

finished with my 2nd liter.......... on to #3

Tracy - How the heck do you drink a Liter of Water in 46 minutes?? It takes me hours to drink a Liter. Each sip I feel gurgling down. But then tell me why I have no problem inhaling friend chicken? I need to grease up my water, LOL...

I just got done with my first Liter that I started at around 12:45. It's 3:11 right now. I'll get started on my second and hopefully finish by 5pm...

Back from the funeral and finishing up my 2nd liter of Water for the day.

Got lots and lots of compliments today about the weight loss. And the best NSV was one lady saying those words I haven't heard in years and years and years.... "you're not going to lose much more weight, are you???" Never thought I'd hear those words, but it sure felt good. Yep, I said. got 23# to go to my first goal.

Another lady said.. "I have two things to ask you. #1, will you be in Menopause the Musical if I get the rights for it and #2, tell me about lap band cause I really need something"

Soooooooooooooo I just might be in a local production of Menopause the Musical. That's what I get for singing in public! And I invited her to the support group's next meeting Feb. 9.

Funeral service went well. Reception afterwards was Cookies, fruit, cheese and meat. I had some fruit and a couple cubes of cheese. I had to keep pushing the Bobster away from the lemon bars as he was telling me that lemon was a fruit so he could eat as many as he wanted. arghhhhhhhhh

Tonight he has Bible study and I have to sit down at my keyboard and really work on some trouble spots in a couple of the songs my acapella group is getting ready for our concert in March. Tomorrow is hospital volunteer shift and rehearsal in the evening. Daughter Kris is coming over to spend the night and we'll do our Curves workout.

Got to go check on dinner. chicken enchiladas from Schwans. Yums.

TTFN....

I am running to pick up my mom at the airport... I just quick threw on a pot of chili so we can eat when we get back

2 cans kindey Beans

1 can chili beans (similar to kidney but flavored)

1 can sauce

1 pkg of turkey meat

1 pkg of hot chili seasoning

1 small onion

dash of pepper

boiled it in a pot and now in the crock pot so will be done by time we get home. I had 2 Protein Shakes today... 200 cals each with 26g Protein each, and the chili is about 16g/ 1/2 cup.

Pray for a fill... I'm starving all day and so hard not to eat when you know you can...

Hello all...

Still really busy with this editing job... I literally worked all day Sat and all day Sun on it! Today I hit the Y, then had a "command performance" @ my mom's house for lunch w/her and some other old-lady friend of hers... then back home & back to work!! I'm trying to get it done by Weds so I can hopefully get the check for it BEFORE we leave for WDW.

I'm Haydee's roomie for the trip... haven't booked air tix yet... probably won't 'til after the WDW trip... that's Feb 8 - 12... I CANNOT WAIT! Today @ the lunch my sister asked if she could come w/us! Of course I said "yes"!... she's a lot of fun.

Ok... back to work... am hoping to get to bed before 1am tonight... that's how late it's been the past few nights w/all the work/work/work!!

Michelle,

thanks for checking in... we have been worried... might be better to book after WDW, SW has deals to SA and might be worth holding out.

Macy has 102.5 right now. She has started the sneezing and stuffy head and coughing (worse than before). She is so miserable. Poor baby.

As I sit here I have a tight chest, coughing and a mild headache....please Lord, make it go away.

She has not had a nap today so she is about to pass out and when she does, so am I. So, goodnight violets! Thanks for all th well wishes & prayers....keep 'em coming!

Evening Violets~

Good luck w/ the project Michelle! Looking forward to having you back!

TracyK~Hoping Macy sleeps good through the night...and you as well. Moms are amazing people, my hat is off to all of you!

Well, we had a lazy day! We have a house for sale 2 doors down. Over xmas, we meet someone who we thought was buying the house. But since then, these trashy junky people showed up and had all their crap in the front yard, garage, etc. The other neighbors and I were pissed...they totally junked up the "hood". It was so bad I called the police yesterday. They came and said they would call City code enforcement on Tuesday. Well, tonight as we were working on a puzzle...a friend of mine came over. I haven't seen her in 15 years or so. Anyway, she is friends w/ the guy who we thought was going to buy the house, Scott. Long story LONG...he did buy the house and is in escrow. The trashy junky people were squatters and the reason all their crap was out was because the sheriff came and told them to hit the road. That is when all their crap showed up outside. I guess they've been in the house for a few months and when we put a bid on the house that is when everyone found out. So, the good guy moves in soon. He is a pilot for Skywest and is great. So...we are all happy. I think all the crap will be removed within a week or so....whewww!

OK...gonna chill for a bit! Have a good night. Guess what I learned about myself today...I have no patience for a puzzle. We got the boarders done and then pooped out!

That is so odd... people just decided they were going to camp out there? and no one would say anything?

Well, i'm going to watch Medium and hit the sack. Going to dr tomorrow and who knows where that is going to lead.

pray for me

No, I guess the squatters made a fake lease and had the electricity turned on and everything. They were pretty quite about everything, even my next door neighbor did not know they were there...until the sheriff came and told them to leave. Just yesterday, there was a washer and dryer in the driveway and today the dryer is gone. I mean there are clothes, books, furniture, toys, games, ALL IN THE DRIVE WAY! This is a pretty decent neighborhood...all working people, but upstanding people. It is very quiet too. All houses are about $4-500,000 price range, but this is a bank foreclosure. Scott ended up getting this house for $290k. It is a huge 4 bedroom, w/ a pool and a great walk in laundry room. Anyway...that is the news from the "hood". LOL

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
