Hi everyone Jane - CONGRATS on the -2 Haydee, good luck trying to get the photo on Laura - I LOVE the tables Well, I am hungry.... feel like day 7 after surgery when i was told no food yet and was still on liquids... probably head hungry but i have not done this in a long time only had 2 cups of soup today and the rest was all just sodium free broth and s/f jello... Mom is here and she was not here ever during my post surgery or post fill can't eat but hungry stages so it is not going well to say the least I have to be at the hospital at 8:30 and 9am ultrasound and 9:30 with surgeon... man do i hope they take me away. I was telling my friend that after he pressed on me i puked and she laughed and said.... "oh yeah... I forgot to warn you about that part" Nice friend huh? Anyway, going to put ds to bed, and maybe go to bed myself, cause i'm hungry night all!

Oh... Tracy then because I have not been able to eat for a month and eat what ever will go down i should be happy that i'm only bouncing 5-7 lbs... LOL I've been in the same place... but the pkg of gasx every other day is due to gall bladder so hopefully that bloat will go away and I can get back on track... OMG... will he have to unfil me?

hi guys Judy, chocolate is my favorite, Haydee, I have to say yours does sound very warm too...(might have to check that out) I have a large living room, the lenght of my house, which was seperated by a fireplace that was built out 6' into the room so it divides them, but they are all painted and furnished as if they were 1 Well, Made it back from the dr...after he pressed on my gall bladder - said it had to go, i got up, walked down the hall and puked... made it downstairs... and puked again. Going for an ultrasound 8:30 Thurs and up to him when it is done to give me a date.... On a liquid diet until I see him, and i'm sure until surgery hmmmmmmmmm Jello again :cursing:

Of course i'm so bloated on up to 208 so with clothes on i'm sure it will be 210 when i get there... i'm so disgusted with myself Tracy, is that how you did it... oatmeal and soup? what kind of soup? although i don't know if i could even choke down oatmeal right now, just because of how i feel Judy, i love hot tubs in the snow.... Have a good day

Morning gals running late but we have company at work today so i know there is no way i can check in, drinking my coffee trying to wake up - i have not slept good in a week Terry- I love your jewelery, you are so talented Judy - i had a fire roaring Saturday night - just so relaxing Denise - The girls are right, doesn't make it easy but there is a reason if she looses the baby. The summer before i got preg with ds, We went on vac in August, I knew i was preg ... 100% knew it but all test came out neg. I was taking diet pills, jet skiing, working out like a mad woman (i did look hot) and puking my brains out. I finally went to gyno and was told i was preg, but my levels were very low, next day started bleeding and had to have my levels checked every other day for a week. Lost the baby Anyway, it was horrible, I was14 weeks along (i've lost a few but never that far) I was an emotional basket case... and 6 mos later, it started all over again, so i took it easy even when test was neg, i was taken out of work 3 times! Jane- I love the bookmark- you are just amazing with your crossstitch, what details and patience well, off to get dressed and to work... I won't be able to check in so i hope you all have a good day

Good Morning everyone sounds like you all had a productive weekend... This was my first Saturday off in a long time, so i got up and went to get paint for the kitchen - Old Mexico is the main color with some deep green and a mustard type color for accents - I plan on painting Wed night so i can have cabinets by next weekend, my counter top should be in this week and as soon as i call them they will come measure an then cut and ta-da!!! I will have a kitchen! I cleaned like a crazy person yesterday and got up xmas decorations and my tree, Terry, just like you... I was in bed at 10, and that was only because i was watching a movie Had my first fireplace fire of the year last night when i was done and it was so nice Still having some pain but calmed down, i feel so bloated, i ate yesterday, some left overs, and i feel like a pig but in reality i didn't eat that much, i feel so full even this am and should not Hope you all have a great day Judy keep the snow, i'm not ready yet and usually what you get is here in a day or 2. I am going to mow my back yard today - i did the front yesterday, mulched up all the extra leaves and finished cleaning up the back, so no snow until it is done Hugs everyone

Morning everyone well, i think i figured out why i've been so bloated and chew on gas-x like it is my best friend. I had a gallbladder attack yesterday afternoon when i ate a pc of bacon. Just to let you all know - it was horrible, between the feeling like i couldn't move without throwing up and the sharp pain in my back right under my ribs - i choked down a slice of turkey and a couple bites of plain mashed potatoes. it actually seemed to settle my stomach for about an hour and that was it. I am not sure if the feeling like i'm going to throw up or pain is worse, but i have know this was coming but have been ignoring it since June when the pain started and serious constipation. I was about 30 seconds from going to the ER last night it was so bad..... ugh.......but would sure explain a lot I'm at work so no dr today, but i'm going to make an appt today - thank goodness my lapband dr is a general surgeon, because i want him to take it out, but need a referral from primary with my new insurance... going to be a long day

Tracyk- go you! I need to catch up... still hanging from 205-208 but i guess i should be happy i'm holding through it all. Tracyks- you are a brave soul! how did your lunch visit go? I'm bored today, too damp and cold to go outside and I am a distraction to some of the guys to i have to limit my walks... i guess i'll take that as a compliment? popped in while no one was in here, i cooked burgers on the grill for my boss and our mechanical guy - I had a lean cusine flatbread sand, which i cooked on the grill and made it more like a pizza. I can actually eat the flatbread and it is 330 cals and 21g protein

Icy roads this am, i'm not ready for this Terry - my dd has her first real bf too... i have not met him, he is going to come over for desert tomorrow, but i have friends who work for school dist so i always inq. about everyone she hangs with and they all LOVE him and say i have nothing to worry about! How nice I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, we are having a crazy one at my neighbors, making garbage bread for the kids and chicken wings to go with the Turkey because we are nuts... and perrogies and gumpkies (SP), turkey, cornbread stuffing, pumpkin cheesecake, and some other polish food... nothing traditional here except for the turkey (which i cannot eat) so i'll eat the polish food and be super happy... Pam -- be safe out there traveling Enjoy your families everyone - i actually am missing mine - so we are starting new traditions this year, and we are going to pick one up that my Aunt use to do, every year she had new year day dinner for all of us, and since she passed last month... mom and I decided since she was helping fund the walls going up we were going to try to get the 3 cousins left and have it at our house.

Hey girls what a day - got home from work, and then went to happy hour which turned into happy night - got home at 1 i think... too cold to walk so we waited for our friend to get out of work (only 10 last night) My sheet rocker took yesterday off so he could finish his floor and my walls could dry - so, he cut his finger pretty bad on a saw and they spent the night in the hospital, had to remove his nail and stitch him back together..... I don't know what this means for my work yet.... ugh Pam - hugs i wish i could say something as beautiful - but know you are in my thoughts and prayers Tracyks, Tracyk Judy, JANE Terry, Suzanne Michelle, Denise Haydee..... Miss you guys, hope all is going well Is anyone going to go to the NYC Lapband thing in March?
