Mita

I am so sorry for you. It is truly a blessing Jake found you and you gave him such a good life. Now he is a Angle in our Lords kingdom..

Great Penni that you both have taken the steps to work it out rather than throw it all away... More Power to you both.. Prayer and Hugs to you both.

Try eating less, I know, how much less can you go. Just eat the meat and see how you feel? Try the Veggies at another time. I had to experiment alot. My band is tighter in the Am but come afternoon I can eat more protien.

Sending hugggggs to you Vines. Get better

My pain went away. Now if I over eat I will get it again but it is very seldom. And the time frame you are is around the time it started for me. I was banded in July and the pain started in Nov. I started to really chew chew chew and then stop and wait. You might be one that has restriction with out a fill.. How are you in that area??

Thank you all for you kind thoughts. By now you might think I am a bit on the flaky side but rest assured I am pretty close. The weekend was great except for the weather here in Colo. They all arrived on Sat afternoon and we stayed here at the house just talking and laughing. My husband and his mom made us food and a B-Q. Sunday was pretty wet and cold but we sat around a chatted some more. We had so much food left over from Sat that we ate that through out the day. They left around 4pm and we hugged and said our so longs. When I went into my bed room I found gifts then I cried. She left me a mini cotton bale. And this Poem " For Special Parents" Some families go their Seperat ways And seldom give a thought To treasured things like family ties That really mean a lot, But we don't see things quite that way - We have, with time, found out That a loving, caring family Is what life is all about.... And that's because of both of you- You're so special and so dear-- You're the heart of our happy family, And you're loved still more each year. Could not see who the writer was but I just love it..

That is a cute picture. I thought is was the little Gal from Our Gang.

Thank you all very much I have been trying to keep busy. Just got back from running all over town trying to get grocerys and coffee mugs cause they all are coffee drinkers. I know that everything happens for a reason and we are going to have such a good time that I am going to just hug her and never let her go.. Oh man here I go crying again. I am so stressed I just ate a Strawberry Blizzard for dinner.. Well gotta go I'll post when I can... Everyone take care:)

Hamu, Right now I am no help to you but we can sit there together and go on. I had a medium strawberry cheescake Blizzard of all things.. For me it's stress and that time of month..

OMG that is the first I have ever heard of this.. You are very cleaver I wonder what they did after you left and they found it?? LOL We do not have a place like that here all we have is the Panda and that is Chinese and I stay far away from the rice. But they do charge me full price just to eat or drink egg drop soup.

lol where did you hide the leftovers??

Humm going to be taking my boys and sil in the next couple of weeks to 6 Flags.. Should be interesting.

This is going to be a BitterSweet weekend for me and my Family. My Aunt who has the last stages of Breast Cancer is coming from Texas with her 2 sisters from Calif. 2 other sisters from Calif are driving down from Dallas to Colo to all meet her at my house. My Aunt says that she is not going to be here past Aug even though I pray that the Chemo and the medicine will make a miracle and she will be here for along time. She and I only met for the 1st time last June (long story met my dad for the 1st time 10yrs ago) Anyway she made the journey then and I went to see her in Feb of this year when they diagnosed her with the second round of Cancer. We have planned a trip to the Mountains and hopefully a small get together at my house before her trip back to Texas. She will stay in the new room we made out of the garage since I told her it was her room and she had to come see it. I planted Yellow Rose bushes for her and just in time they are ready to open any day now. Well I better be off getting upset as I write this. Thanks for listening

That Rings so true.

LuAnn are they even going to try to submit it?? I would at least wait to find out what the insurance says before losing all hope...

Heather how are you feeling today???

I was told that bread is ok to eat but only if you can tolerate it. I had 1/2 a tuna sandwich last night and did ok. I do not eat alot of bread since sometimes it will cause me to PB.

Mine had me show 6 months proof of being on WW.

Welcome, I was given liquid Jello if that makes sense. But take it from Kathy's Experince with Jello - be careful.

I snack in between meals here at work. I usually eat P&B crackers so it is not to bad. At home when my time is filled there is no time to snack.

Ohh Christina sorry that you are getting sleep deprived. It took me about 3 weeks before I could actually sleep on my tummy but in the mean time what worked for me was putting a pillow on the side of my tummy where the port was and would slowly try to sleep half on my side and tummy and with each night try more to be on my tummy and less on my side. Big T Amazing how we can adapt with the Truck seat I actually would sleep that way at rest stops when we got tired of driving.

WOW awesome. Good Luck What kinds of things do you do on these Jobs??

Good News Michelle that you are feeling better.

Glad you are doing well and back at home.

Have not talked with Chris but he has gone down my Mom's she says he seems to be doing fine. He works nights and sleeps days so we never see him. Thanks for asking Kathy:)
