1day at a time

Arlene - it is 47 degrees now but supposed to low of 27 but rain comes Monday we will see. So good news with the diabetes Dr she said that if I lose my insurance it will only cost $30 to see her and the educator and also they are switching me to generic meds. I found out there is a liquid metformin I can take, whihc will help since I can't take the horse pill. Anyways wanted to say a quick hi. So Hi everyone hope you all have a good day

Bummer I know as of right now nothing yet. There is a chance it could be much north of me

Weather has cleared up. The sun was out yesterday and people were making comments as to what the bright round thing in the sky was LOL. Anyways supposed to get snow or sleet again tonight and then some tomorrow or this weekend. As long as it is not as bad as last time I will do fine. Julie - I hope your Chrio can help you out. Hang in there it will get better.

Hey just driving by. Beep Beep I wanted to say hi. I work 7-3 tomorrow I thing I will weight tomorrow to see where I am at. I hope everyone is doing well talk to you all tomorrow. Cheri - Thanks for the info from the 5 day site. Apples - I just thought you were all knowing

LOL I was wondering why I was getting the bad food lecture. You saw what I ate today didn't you. I knew you and Janet see all but wow your talent is amazing. Anyways off to go lay down and relax now that I am 35 I hear my bones creaking and I am getting sleeper much early these days. Just messin with ya, To some I am still a baby (right Janet) Love you all Good night

So I got a new computer monitor for my Birthday. Yeah I am so excited I am on it right now. It is a 22inch flat screen monitor. it is awesome. My monitor I had been using took almost ten times to turn it on. It hard a short circuit in the power switch and would shut off on its own all the time. I was dealing with for almost a year. Anyways I wanted to share my present.

Thank you everyone for the Birthday Wishes. I am having a wonderful day. I will check back in later. Love to all

Julie - Thanks again for the birthday wishes. i hope to meet you soon as well. Take care of yourself. I pray you get some answers soon.

Oh my goodness you guys are to sweet. I just popped out of bed at 5am this morning for no reason could not go back to sleep so I logged on. Again too sweet Love all my LBT friends

Hey Beverly I have a very trying year this year. Here's to 2011 and getting back into losing again we just have to go back and remember our steps that we used in the begining to lose the weight and get refocused. Come on 2008 Butterlfies where did you all fly off too

I use Tostitos Spinach Dip in my chicken to maken chicken salad, It stays very most more than using mayo. It is very yummy. Peas - I got back to my primary Dr and my Diabetes Doc to talk about all my meds. And possible changing to a lower cost option. I was on Byetta in the past I forgot why they took me off of it. But we will see what both Drs say and see if I can come off some meds or go to a more generic med. Anyways yes I really like my job it is fun and you stay busy. All jobs have its up and downs but I can handle the downs better with this job.

Thanks so much for the info

Question about freezing food I made chicken salad using a Rotisserie chicken. It turn out to be a big batch. I premeasured 1/4 cup sizes and put them in tiny containers. Can I freeze them? I won't be able to it all of it in a week so I was wondering if freezing would hurt anything. Advice please

Julie - What happen I thought your pain was better? I also thought you saw a knew Dr already? I can't believe this is still happening. I pray that this new Dr will found out what is going on. A person could go crazy with all that you are going through. Hugs on this. I really wish I could do something for you

Hey Butterflies I hope everyone is doing well. We have been iced and snowed over her in GA which is not the norm. I was going stir crazy but was asked to come in and worked today which I agreed to even though I was off. I had to get out of the house. How are the other Butterflies doing?

So I was called late last night to ask if I wanted to work today. I was tired of being at home I said yes please. Well I worked today which was nice to get out of the house. School was canceled again for tomorrow. Since the kids have missed a week of school due to the weather I think they are adding a make up week to the end of the year. The roads are still icy but not too bad near my house but still really bad in other areas. I work tomorrow I supposed to close hopefully the roads will not be to bad tomorrow night.

Well everyone still stranded at home. It is 27 degrees and we will get a low of 17 tonight so everything melting now will refreeze over night. School canceled again tomorrow. I think people are starting to go stir crazy here in GA. Funny but not funny 4 people have been injured in sledding accidents. We have never had this much snow so people don't know what to do so when they use make shift sleds they are getting hurt. Tons of places are closed including banks. Also major roads are closed as well. Just got a call saying schools are closed again tomorrow. I think everyone in Ga is ready for things to get back to normal. At my house we have power and stuff but we have been playing board games to keep from getting bored. Maybe this is mother natures way of saying slow down enjoy what you have cause you never know.

Snowed in again today. Yes Ga. is shut down again we never do good in snow. Parts of the major interstates are completly closed. I am actually off tomorrow and they closed the schools again. It is fun being home but could use the money since I am not salary. But you know what I am not complaining we are having fun watching movies playing board games. Power is on so we are warm and toasty. So maybe this is GOD's way of telling people tp slow down and enjoy what you have.

Meredith - The snow has been fun. I could not go to work today and they canceled school. Alex (DS)I had fun in all the snow. We were running in it at least trying too LOL. We started to build a snowman but then he got to cold. I told him to dress in layers but you know Mom's don't know best. LOL Anyways burned alot of calories running around and playing in the snow. Supposed to be worse tomorrow I think because we are having freezing rain now. So we will see if I can make it to work. They canceled school for tomorrow.

Kelly - WTG on the weight loss keep it up Eva - I saw on the TV at work the shootings yesterday. Was there a reason someone did not like the woman I really did not get to here the whole story Well everyone I have felt better since my fill. So I am in Ga and they say we are to get 6 inches snow between tonight through Tues. (GA does not do well when we get alot of snow we tend to shut down. Not like where Apples lives.) But you never know what the truth is so we went and got kerosene and supplies to stay in. However I am supposed to be at work at 7am tomorrow; even thought I work around the corner I might not be able to get out of my driveway. And yes I could walk but I do not feel like slipping and breaking something.

Welcome to our board we have some members floating around. We are active not as much as we were in the begining. I belong to another forum called "I'm here to help" below is the link. It is a very active thread Janet started it over a year ago we have people from all stages of there band. You are more than welcome to post any question here and we can answer it. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=60884&view=getnewpost

I think I am doing much better since I had my fill yesterday. He put 3 cc back in so that gives me know a total of 6.5cc which I can feel and still not as horribly tight as before. I also took yours and Janet's suggestions and bought smaller bowls. We can all do this and we will. Oh and I like your resolutions

Actually the changes i n the plan I need will not happen unil 2014 right now it is alot or senior people Actually I am a type 2 diabetic due to my weight. As I lost the weight I was coming off my meds. I have an appt next week to talk to the Diabetes Educator to get meds changed and possibly see if she has any suggestions re my insurance. I plan on talking to her next week. I can go to the ER if I do not have health insurance however it is scary not having it I am going to try to set an appt so I can see my PCP dr to see about changing my meds over You are right I don't want to die I want to live. I will do it for my self Janet - If you move from one company to another they can not deny your health conditions that is why I have alsways worked. However if you went and got your own insurance outside of the company your work for they can. But I think we are getting it worked out. I just need to make full time and then I will be able to get the insurance faster. All - went to the Dr yesterday he put 3 cc back in so I am at 6.5cc which is less than before when I got to tight and had all the issues. I can feel it now. He was shocked I gained so much wait and I said it was all my doing but now I havw a more physical job and I can walk to work so I should have this weight off in no time. I also went to target and got little bowels and plates that are the right size for what we eat. They were actually for appetizers and dipping bowels for sauces. I can eat mushies tomorrow yeah I am trying to remember to take it slow when drinking and when I eat cause now I have the restriction.

Great - Actually my Dh has his own company so that is why when he check on a policy for the company they restricted me. I do like my job is is very physical so I am tired when I get home but a good tired.

You go girl back on track Yes it helps me sometimes Your hair is cute but why do hair dressers never listen. Also I have the Zumba game for my wii and you are right it is hard even on the easy. I did switched jobs for that but I have to be there a year for the insurance. My last job did not have health insurance they had a reinbursement plan that is why I had to leave Your right heck everyone is I just feel like I need to focus on me I wish I could go away for a couple of days by myself and refocus but you can't do that in the real world. I will have to work hard to refocus myself while life is happening. We check insurance under my husband's business but because of me being diabetic they will not insure me. Well I go to my LB Dr tomorrow afternoon so I am sure he will have alot to say. I am going to the diabetes Educator on the 13th. He will have me on liquids for two days I think after the fill I will post more about that tomorrow.
