  1. Even better....cannot even open eyes but he can write...wanted to know date/time and tell me he loves me. So happy with todays progress!!!
  2. Got some responses this am....squeezed my hand and did a thumbs up when I told him he got to ride in a helicopter yesterday...made my morning...he's sleeping again now.
  3. Out of 2nd surgery....tear on eye found and repaired...will keep out infection and hopefully keep eye from dying. Vision may or may not return in that eye...waiting game on that...overall good news. Going back in to see him shortly!!!! My saying/drinking is not gonna be on target right now...can barely stomach anything right now.
  4. He's out of first surgery and vitals are good....get to see him shortly...getting sewed up right now. Thank God for all this family and friends here to keep me swim.
  5. Winston Salem...Baptist Med Ctr....one of the best in NC!!!!! PRAY FOR MY MAN!! text me if u wanna
  6. husband in BAD accident at work this am....in trauma ICU at Baptist med ctr .....every bone in face shattered, face has huge gashes everywhere on face, eye may be lost, internal bleeding - working on right now, breathing tube, etc....its bad and I'm scared to death!!!! Please pray for my sweet wonderful husband!!!
  7. Taste not years...my auto correct has ADHD...won't slow down long enough to make anything make sense!
  8. Made these double chocolate fudge cupcakes with cream cheese icing and sprinkles for my best friends bday dinner tomorrow night without so much as licking anything off my fingers!!!! I need a taste tester before everyone eats them...what if they aren't good??? Never had this prob before because I would have been the taste tester!!! Oddly enough I didn't even want to years them.....they didn't even smell good to me - thank goodness!!!
  9. Exactly what my husband says!!
  10. Awesome!!! Its a great feeling!!!
  11. Most recently ive been using body fortress...you can get it at walmart....mixed with 8 oz milk. Sometimes I use premier protein already mixed up...30 grams.
  12. It was...they looked so "normal" to me and I'm still overweight...just way less than before.
  13. Kinda like dry roasted peanuts...its good! Very crunchy. It feels me up extremely quickly....its not often that I can actually eat the whole 1/4 cup. My husband loves them too and he had never tasted either until after I had surgery.
  14. Like it or not I most days start with a Protein shake so I immediately get 34 grams in....and mostly meats, cheeses, yogurt with Protein powder added through the day. Dry roasted edamane is a good snack too....14 grams of protein in 1/4 cup serving.
  15. Even though I am now down 109 lbs I still don't see it myself (unless looking at side by side pics).....everyone around me notices but its harder for me. Well yesterday I was in the waiting area while my husbands truck was getting cleaned...I looked down and wondered who the hell was sitting on my lap....these legs can't belong to me, can they?!?!?
  16. I think its hardest to start....I used to hate even thinking about exercising. Now I feel really off and guilty if I don't get it in....I try for 5 hrs/week....it Will get easier if you get it started. However if I am spending the day doing house cleaning/yard work...I Will count that as my exercise for the day if it takes away the time I would have used on treadmill etc.
  17. I can't handle ckn if its dry....have to have it juicy or in some kind of sauce.
  18. I'm also 4 months out. My nutritionist says only to eat half....but that's all I can handle anyway....they make me so full.
  19. Me too!!! Lol...I swear when my husband asked what I was looking forward to most I said "you taking me against the wall"...LOVED the look on his face. I think he was expecting my answer to be something about shopping...haha!!
