gone 4 ever

hi everyone. Hope you all have a great weekend no matter what you are doing. enjoy the mac&cheese Luluc sounds good. I had a bad day at work.:tongue_smilie: I actually was swearing and I don't swear often. I have to be extremely mad. which I was. we have a new person who kept yelling over and over for stuff. She wasn't listening when I would tell her I heard her and I would get her items working soon as I got everyone elses done. Then she kept putting sauces in the wrong buckets. I could see that if they weren't labeled! READ the darn things. were going to end up with a law suit if she doesn't watch what she is doing. people who are allergic get something out of the wrong bucket, yep right to court we go. So I had to keep running back and forth between the kitchen and cook area washing the buckets out. I really didn't have time to be doing that. One of our cooks kinda got onto her about yelling wanting her stuff. he told her I heard and had 6 other things working to stop yelling and blaming me for the food not getting out. She would holler some things that one of the other people hollerd so I would cook it 2 times!:frown::cursing::cursing::Yawn: I wasn't the only one mad as all get outs with her. She was told yesterday to waite and let me get things out. so the others that trained her yesterday was upset. O.K. that is my rant for the day.

I'm with you Beth. I am not sue happy either, but this is my health were talking about. They should have told me. It is my right to know. I wonder how many people have had something wrong and wasn't told and something terrible happened. Even though I have been told usually knots on the thyroid are non cancerous doesn't mean squat to me. My lymphoma didn't fit in any of the 36 different types of lymphoma. I had my own special brand! So until this is removed and tested we don't know that it isn't cancer. I just want amends. Take care of the dr and the thyroid and the after care if it is cancer. Gotta go to work thanks bye

Taps I hope the rest of your day is better. Sounds like Murphy has visited you in a big way! Rest, relax take a 3 day weekend!

Correctomundo! I still have internet this morning Woohoo. Maybe I'll get lucky and have it all weekend. That would be nice. I am going to contact a lawyer and see what if any actions I can take against the ER. When they told me about my thyroid it threw me for a loop. I found out that they knew about in in"94" when I was in there for walking pneumonia. They never told me I had a lump on my thyroid. In the report it states that it has gotten considerably larger since "94". I am a Lymphoma caner survivor and should have been told. I could have had that taken care of back then when I had insurance. Maybe I can have this taken care of without any problems. Well you all have a wonderful and blessed weekend.

Last post tonight I promise. (with fingers crossed). I can't remember what I was wanting to post.....Dang senior moments! Any way nitie night folks, Love ya'll and will miss you.

PJTP...:thumbup: there is a person on other threads that had a revision. I will call her the angry person. Since that revision she is sounding so hateful towards others. Her last few post has been very hateful. Last one was talking about the poster not losing very much. But she is pbing everything. Some one talked about starvation mode and the angry person said something to the effect of there is no proof that you go into starvation mode. She was angry because the woman doesn't like to excersize. If she doesn't want to that is her perogative. Don't belittle someone for not doing what is the smart thing. I just had to get it off my chest:cursing: I used to really like and respect this person. She is intelligent, (or so I thought) Her post was always to the point, but in a nice way. Not like lately.

I think you need a slight unfill before you cause damage to your band. You should NOT be pbing after every meal. Get a little taken out and up your calories! Eat at least 1100 but that is still starvation mode. Your not eating enough to burn any calories. Your in starvation mode. I absolutely hated excersize. But it's not so bad now. At least try walkin, or make it fun and dance while you cleaning the house. Good luck and keep us posted.

thanks everyone. that means the wold to me right now. fanny....question...if your "The land down under" then what are we referd as? The land on top?:thumbup:

PJTP... hello everyone. Tomorrow phone and internet will be cut off. So I will check in with you all when I am at 1 of my DD's homes. I will keep you updated. :wub:ya'll

You have to be careful when you choose one. I have 1 that is made for heavy people. I am very cautious when sitting on anything.

You will start feeling better soon. Everyone heals differently. I wish I could take credit for the phrase "food porn" but I can't. Someone else called it that when I first got banded. Good luck and keep us posted hon.

Your welcome and good luck. Keep us posted.:biggrin:

I just got back from the chiropractor. Not only did he work miracles he is gooood looking! :wink2:He is ordering me a head traction kit. He thinks that If I do all the right stuff it might heal on it's own because it was caught early enough! But I have to go to work. Have a great day.

Morning everyone. I am getting ready to go to the chiropractor. Hopefully he will do some good. I have a flippen migraine this morning. Hope you all have a blessed day. I will let you all know if he helped at all.

Hello Kj. From what I am seeing I think you have done a great job on weight loss. I also had wanted to hit the 100 lb mark but didn't make it. So that is fine. I have so far lost 71 lbs. That is LOST not gained. But you might not be eating enough calories. It took me a while to find out that If I eat less than 1200-1500 cal for more than a day or to I stop losing. My body goes into starvation mode. There are times I have trouble getting in that many calories.I am also a bouncer. For 2 or 3 weeks I will bounce up and down the same 2 or 3 lbs, then I will lose 2-5 lbs. Then start the whole cycle over. A lot of people do that. You might just need to switch up your eating habits. So don't be hard on yourself hon. Be patient and thankful that you are losing and not gaining like before the band. Good luck with the rest of your journey:biggrin:

Hello and congratulations Paulette, Amy and Emmylou. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I hope you all have your Gas-X strips ready! LOL I lived on them for the first 3 months. Also walking helps with the gas pains. Please remember you don't lose at first you gain. So don't freak out if you get on the scale in a day or 2 and see you have gained, that is natural. You are to be healing these first few weeks so follow your Dr.s advise. During this time don't be surprised if you see a lot of food porn during this time!:biggrin: I couldn't tear myself away from the food channel during this phase. When I was able to do mushies it was easier. Also you might have trouble drinking enough for the first few days. This is also natural. Don't forget that there is a recipe thread on here for the different stages. remember we are here and we will help you in any way we can.:smile2:

Hey sweetie, I wish you luck on your journey. After a fill go on liquids for 24 hrs after. You have some swelling after a fill and to keep from PBing just do the liquids like I said and then do 24 hrs of mushies. As far as the gas goes get some Gas-X strips and walk. I lived off of Gas-X for the first 3 months. I just wished it would of helped with the other ahem...gas:blushing::biggrin: As far as the scarring everyone definitley has thier own thing. I use mederma and vitamin E oil. I would rub the E oil in really well and then the mederma. I have 5 scars. My port is the worst one. The others are pretty much all faded. Not all research shows all the bad on Dr.s A lot of times it isn't reported. So It doesn't always help. Just be patient about losing. You are in bandster hell right now. There will be a day when you realize you are losing. Your clothes fit differently, you have more energy. Then you will be jubilant! :smile2:

Congrats Tink to you and hubby! When are you due?

Good morning everyone. Plain glad your home. Yes fanny our health care sucks for the under-insured and people with no insurance. I am going to the family chiropractor tomorrow. He was dad's and mom's, he is my DBIL's and my DB has used him when he has been visiting. My DBIL and DS is paying for the visit. My DBIL called and talked to him and told him what was going on. The chiro. said he can at least give me some relief. he is cutting DBIL a deal. I am greatly apprecating this. But I feel guilty because they are having a really hard time also. I have figured out the amount of money I need to pay all my bills (including catching up) and to go see the ENT and the Back specialist (doesn't include food and gas). I only need for the month $1943.00. This doesn't include needing freeon in my car. If I add in everyone I owe money to it is $2843.00 Not fun without air in the summer! Boy I need a rich uncle right now! lol Everyone have a blessed day.

Good point Mac. Congrats on the hill. I want to meet everyone also!

Ebony, So glad your having a good time. Sms, so sorry your going though that at work. Aren't they nice to people without leading them on? Have a blessed day everyone.

Thank you Fanny. They were beautiful.

Thanks on both accounts Slim. The 1 family that didn't show has 3 kids. the other family finely called after I left at 7pm. She ended up pulling a double. So I can excuse her. But not the other one. They did the same thing last yr. I reminded my DD about that. But this is her best friend. Now she came to DGD's party 2 weeks ago and she will show up for other DGS's party at the end of the month. If you don't want to come because of the holidays just say so. yet she gets mad at DD if she can't make it to her kids parties. So DD will cut short whatever she is doing to pacify her friend. NOT! I would be darned if she can't understand that I had previous plans then to bad!. Ok off rant! Slim you seem so excited about work tomorrow:rolleyes:

getting ready to go to DD's to help get DGS's b-day party set up. heart sorry your having trouble sleeping and your hurting. (((hugs))) hope and pray you get feeling better. Everyone have a safe and Happy 4th. Thank a soldier and remember the ones lost.
