Hello Y'all! Welcome Patty! It sounds like you have a lovely family! Good Luck Saturday! How special to know Tinkerbell Zan - Good for you for doing something special for yourself! Beanie - Anything is worth a try! Maybe a simple letter might do the trick! Eileen - Mmmmmmmmm Chili sounds good right now! I made a pot of potato Soup to take for lunch tomorrow since it will be cold. Try a heating pad on that back, sometimes that helps me! Cindy - I lost my Mom and Dad 10 days apart from each other right at Christmas. My Mom passed away on Christmas Eve. My Mom had been sick for a while (CHF) but my Dad was healthy. My Dad had a freak accident and fell and hit a bench real hard with his chest. He passed away 10 days before my Mom. Dad passed away before I could even get to say goodbye, and not being able to say goodbye still haunts me today. Christmas was always our favorite holiday. It took me about 3 years before I could even get back into decorating again. It was the hardest time of my life, and probably always will be. I was very close to my parents and I still miss and think about them every day. I still get tears in my eyes when I talk about them. I think the thing that helps me most is remembering the good times we had together. I don't think the sadness of them being gone will ever go away, but it does get a little easier each year. I will be going to my DB house for Thanksgiving. I cook a bunch of stuff and take it over to his house, but usually the next day I cook a turkey and the trimming for here so we have some in the fridge. I don't know if I will cook all that this year though since I won't be able to eat as much! Well, everyone have a great evening!

Awwww Beanie, I'm sorry to hear that! But, I always say "Where there's a will, there's a way!" I do believe that! Please don't give up yet! Sorry I am so late getting here, I am working this week for my neighbor, and don't have acess to the site, so I just sit and think about it all day! Ira - congrats to you! I love your new avatar too! Pat - Love the pictures! It makes me feel like I am right there with you! Eileen - Hope that back feels better soon! Back pain is so bad! Cindy - 3 hours, girl you do have restriction! Well, I am tired, going to go kick back and watch some tv. I like the new Prison Break, does anyone watch it? I also watch Medium, that is if I can stay awake long enough to watch it! :sleep Catch you all tomorrow evening!

Good Luck!

Welcome to bandland!

Happy Birthday Ray! Hope you have a great one!

Good Morning, Today is supposed to be pretty, so I think we are going to try to go riding. I have some work to get done today too, so I guess I will do that! UGH! Eileen, next time just eat off his plate! My DH is a fast eater too, and it really use to bother me because I always felt like everyone was saying "look at her, no wonder she is fat she eats a lot longer that her husband", but now since I lost some weight, it doesn't bother me as much. I just make him wait longer, of course he usually helps me eat my food now! Catch ya all later!

I use the Viactiv too, it tastes great, I feel like I am eating a piece of candy! I use Flintstone's complete chewables too.

Great NSV!

Wow, that is great!

Good Luck! Let us know how you are when you can.

I'll second that!

In the morning, I drink a cup of coffee, pee, then weigh in my nightgown.

Good Morning Y'all! They are predicting rain here today, I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get some! Everything is so dry, even when you step on the leaves barefoot they crunch! Beanie - I'm so sorry you are going through all this. I hate dealing with insurance companies. I think Eileen is right, you need to ask to speak with a supervisor or something. I know the one time I got upset with them it was the only way I got an answer. I just hope they are stalling you to say the policy has changed the first of the year. Keep after them girl! Cindy - Glad to hear your fill is going good. Pat - Your trip sounds wonderful! I love sitting out just overlooking the Water with a nice cool drink! Eileen - What's on the menu today? As soon as you can start solids, most of that hunger will go away. I don't have much planned yet for the weekend. It is supposed to get really windy today, so all the leaves that I worked on yesterday will probably be right back where they were. I picked up the ones that I raked, but they are falling so fast. It certainly isn't like up north though, I used to spend weeks, hours a day trying to keep up with those. I ended up eating the filling out of a piece of pie, but not the crust! So, I guess I was only half bad!

Hi Y'all! I had some shopping to do this morning, then I decided to make my DH a couple of chocolate cream pies. BIG MISTAKE! All I can think of are those dang pies now! UGH! The leaves are falling quite a bit here now, so I worked out in the yard, mostly getting as much of them out of the pool that I could. Man, what a job! I am glad it is the weekend, DH can dip all those leaves out tomorrow and Sunday! I've also been doing some laundry, and cleaning house. I can't say I feel like doing it today, I have to fight myself to keep moving to get it done. I just can't get in the mood for it today. Cindy - Way to go on the weight loss! That's fantastic! How long do you have to be on liquids? I am one of the lucky ones, my doctor only has me do liquids the remainder of the day of the fill, then he wants me back on solids the next day. He does not believe in liquids for any length of time or during the solid phase. Beanie - I sure wish they would hurry up and tell you that it is a go with your surgery. My legs, arms, fingers, and eyes are tired of being crossed! Today is the day for good news! Eileen - So, what is the first thing you are going to eat in the mushy phase? That part of the diet isn't bad, you can blend up just about anything you want, or eat so many things that are soft. Well, going to get finished with my work!

I rings and shoes got too big!

No cup size loss for me either, but I did lose inches around.

Paula I had to laugh when I read this because this morning I made up a couple of chocolate cream pies for DH. Well, first I licked the pan after I was done, and now all I can think of is that damn chocolate pie in the fridge. I am not even a big sweet eater, but I can't get it out of my head! I don't think I will make him any more chocolate cream pies!

Same here, it goes down way to easy!

Awww, how cute!

Welcome to LBT! You have done an amazing job with your band!

Welcome to LBT!

ROFLMA0! You are too funny!

Good Morning Y'all! I was so busy yesterday I didn't even get to post! I had a lot of billing to do, then had some running to do, then I was having company for dinner so I spent a lot of time cooking. By the time everyone left, I was ready to get some R&R! Beanie you are doing so good with your exercising. I am very proud of you! Cindy - Good luck with your fill today! I hope you get a good one! Eileen - Sounds like a fun day to me, love that shopping! Respitatory Girl - Nice to meet you! Sounds like you are doing great with your band. Ivan - I remember my doctors office telling me it is only one day, it won't hurt to try a little bit of something as long as you make it one day. So, for the main days during the holidays I will probably do that. As far as all the other parties, maybe you can eat something before you go to make them a little easier. I also find that if I put a piece of gum in my mouth and always have something to drink in my hand it does make it easier. I also find that if I don't take that first bite, I can handle it better! Good Luck! Pat - I love your picture! You are one hot mama! You look beautiful! Lisa - You can send some rain this way! We need some! Gotta run, catch you all later! Have a great day!

Thanks for sharing, please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Happy Birthday! I hope it was a great one!
