CHEZNOEL

Fresh white loaf bread. Everything else is good in small bites well chewed.

I weigh in the same thing I am planning to wear to the doc appointment when I have one, otherwise, in my birthday suit. By the way, I LOVE to weigh in at the docs, always 3 pounds lower than at home!

I was told at least 5 days, on the other hand, I have been constipated like Maddysgram since the surgery 20 months ago! Miralax, ducolax, and when all else fails phosphate soda. I am now on an Rx to keep me mobile, I know TMI but true!

I don't think the band will show unless your tummy is really high!

Mine is Gladys... biggest pain in the butt I ever met! Always acting out and wanting someone to pay attention to her!

I noticed my face thinning... the boobs were already hanging! Congrats on your NSV! Great news!

Carole, I vote for some exercise some place quiet and away from the house, without Jack. Not that I have anything against Jack, but you are showing classic signs of needing me space and time. If you happen to also get in some exercise, great! You will be in the house for a long time, so It will wait. Take a break for yourself. It is what YOU would tell us to do!

Keep the faith. You CAN DO this!

It is hard work and you look fabulous! Congratulations!

Hope you like the new doc and he can find out what is going on with you! Fingers crossed and prayers for you! One of those ought to work! LOL

Morning all! I finally lost a pound last week! Now just 3 more back to my doctor's goal of 179 and 7 to my goal of 175. The walking and logging of food shall continue! Diane... looks like a nice party. I am sure you had a fun day! After showing you picture to my hubby he has decided yours is a jerk if he thinks you look old! LOL Doreen sounds like a fun weekend for your bunch. Kids always love summer! Janet... wishing you a great week of quilting and relaxing with no surprises! Carole... hope your reflux is settling down. It is truly amazing what our emotions can do to our bodies! Cawa... enjoy you last week of time off! Dawn.... hope things are settling down for you as well. Michelle.... Batman eh! well have a quite week and study hard! Later my friends!

Order what you normally eat, just small bites and chew chew chew.

I loved the plication! Great success.

Can't wait for the 26th!

Time flies when you are having fun! LOL!

Sunday morning pancakes cooked by my hubby, even when it is Father's Day. I eat only one, lo card pancake with sugar free syrup... OK... so I add a little pecans and butter to mine. After all it is Sunday. I have walked almost 14 miles in the last 4 days and been very good on my food logging. I am hoping to down at least 1 pound this week. Weigh in is on Monday am. Carole, glad the carafate helps. I took that once with a med that caused me great stomach distressed... seemed to help a lot. I am counting on you and Diane on the 26th. I will be staying overnight so I can visit my Aunt Nell. She's a corker! Michelle, typical results with you daughter and son in law. Hang in there. Sound like you little one is growing too fast. What a nice surprise for a 6th grade graduation party. Next summer, my oldest granddaughter will graduate from the 8th and be off to high school. Oh where does the time go. Cawa, hope you are enjoying your time off... pop in and let us know. Doreen, always busy on the weekends, can't wait to hear all about it. I hope CJ is over his illness. Janet... hope you yard is losing it swampy characteristics and you did not lose too many plants. Need a report on how Maddy is doing these days and Ange too! How are the quilts coming. I started quilting my latest one yesterday. Finished the in the ditch quilting and will now use freehand machine quilting in all the blocks! Picture will be coming! Diane, I hope things will settle out for your Mom's new schedule. I hate to say it, but if she is making you feel like scum and is otherwise looked after... consider skipping a day or so. I had to do that with my Dad once he was in the assisted living place. He could not keep track of days anyhow. Consider giving yourself a break. You'd best show up for lunch are we may come after you! LOL Everyone have a great Father's day! Dawn, I did my best, but still don't think I reached novel status... maybe novella? Love to all!

Diane, we are pleased to have you among us!

Happy Father's Day to all GOOD fathers! We can skip the dead beats.

Are you calling us dogs? Seriously Michele, my heart goes out to you. Running is definitely better than eating your stress away. Take care of you while all this crap comes down around you. One positive note.... your daughter told you which means you are and always will be her Mom and she knows it!

Sorry, but I would like to know! I have the same problem. How about a note to Alex?

I would order the bigger size. I know you want the smaller one, but better safe than sorry.

Just watched the movie, The Social Network. Weird story and Zuckerman is strange!

Sweet dreams Carole!

Good luck on your journey! I hope it is everything you are wishing for. It has been for me.

Keep walking, windmill your arms, and try a heating pad on your upper back! This too shall pass! LOL!
