I'm sleepy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how much it costs for a 5 year old to go out for wrestling???????? $80 to sign up $30+ for shoes $30 for headgear $12-$30 per tourney (if attending) Geesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! I have until December 3rd before I get a fill, and she already told me she is going to take it slow....... blech... Back from the wrestling "parents meeting"........... we shall see.

LOL@@@@@@@@ I have no shitting black stuff or swallowing going on! I didn't need it. She looked at my band under fluro, after getting me to BE HONEST about how much I pb and how often I get heart burn and how long it has been since I've eaten actual meat........ SHE UNFILLED ME ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1.4 cc's!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this is less than my first fill!!!!!!! I gained 5 lbs and she said to give myself a break and enjoy my Thanksgiving and then come back in 4 weeks to see if I have stopped having heart burn and pb'ng! The good news......... my band looked good and healthy. The bad news.......... I am already hungry! (PISSED!) The good news........ MY BAND IS FINE!!!!!! I've got to remember the big picture here...... I am seriously scared shitless of myself....... I see pizza and cheeseburgers in the next month..... NO NO NO... Tracy.. I need you to come be my food slapper! LOL or give me a damn staple gun for my mouth! LOL When I called my sister in a dither about it, she just laughed.. and said.. Tracy I know its not funny to you, but it IS funny to hear you so upset about being able to eat a cheeseburger!!!!!!! IT IS JUST A CHEESEBURGER!!! and that is why I'm scared........ the non banded person, just does NOT GET IT!!! and maybe no one else does either... maybe I am a super duper weirdo........ OK, with that I need to go pick up my script for the heart burn medicine........

LOL Trace!!!! I am leaving the office at 1p for my barium swallow

Good morning.......... I may be having a barium swallow today, as my docs office called me back last night. She was harping on my reflux.. GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! I don't think I could take an unfill right now...... if I get an unfill I'm going to have to have him stitch my mouth shut, as the pizza and greasy burgers WITH BUN's would be calling my name...... scares the everlivin crap out of me.......... I just watched the video of Obama's acceptance speech, and I have to say that I was moved to tears.... which is no big feat for me, as I am a wreck every week watching extreme home makeover! LOL, but I am proud to have been part of history. Charles did not even REGISTER to vote, so when he complained that McCain didn't win, I just wagged my finger at him and said if you don't vote, don't bitch! LOL I just heard thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did well yesterday, the crab cakes probably had a lot of sodium in them but they were good....... I did start TOM this morning........ yipppppeeeeeeee I hope everyone has a great day, and I will let you know if I go get the swallow.

I didn't have to show ID... the rule here is if you voted at the same place before you don't have to show id, but you do have to verify your address..... I pointed it out to the lady trying to find my name and she went OOPS! and covered my address with her hand while making me recite it..... I am sad...... I don't know why.. I just feel like crying......... I MUST BE PMS'ng!!!!!!!!!! GREAT I WANT the damn Recees PB cups sitting here at my finger tips but I REFUSE to ruin today with a dang ol nasty pc of candy!!!!!! I did have crab cakes for lunch... as my boss took me out for my work anniversary..... they were very tasty and very tender, so I was able to eat with no problem........ DH made chili, but I just don't feel like it, so I had a glass of milk instead....... I might make me a mock danish.... Have a great evening........ and thanks Tonya! I'm pretty sure its nothing......

Good Morning....... I waited in line for 1 hour, but I'm all voted. Robby had a better day yesterday... thank goodness~ Michelle: Yes.. I think all this stress is now showing its ugly head. and CONGRATS on the loss!!!!!!!! I managed to keep the crap down to the bare minimum yesterday, and the scale was 183 today......... Today is my 6th anniversary at work, so my boss is taking me to lunch. Jane: I'm so sorry for your heartache. Jenn: what up with mr cuddles? Jane yes you need to come back to KC so we can go to that italian buffet again!!!! (well.... maybe not a good idea) Terry: OK so are you and DH now divorced or did you mean the kids father? I'm CONFUSED

Ok girls........... on top of it all.......... I think I have a hernia! Anyone have experience in this and what do I do for the PAIN????? Left Side, level with port but about 4 finger widths away from it and about 3 finger widths above my belly button...... if I push through my belly fat I can feel a knot that HURTS....... it got worse when I took of my tight pants........ anyone? anyone? Denise our RN are you reading? If this is not better I'm going to call my band doc tomorrow and see what I should do....... Maybe its just stress........ now I feel like a hypochondriac!

Ok.. I am reviving this because as I sit here and type I am pretty sure that I have a hernia. I am 19 months out from band surgery and down nearly 100 lbs..... I LOVE it....... but I was too tight for too long last year and I consistantly pick up things that are too heavy ....... so my belly is greatly deflated,... left side of my belly button up a few finger widths and pushing below my flab I can feel a knot.. it feels better when I have tight pants on but tonight in my sweat pants the pain is worse.... damn it I don't want any issues...... but my doc did say during the seminar some 2 years ago that MOST morbidly obese people HAVE hernia's, its just a matter of if they are bad enough for him to fix while in there........ so I'm wondering if I've had one all along or if me heaving chunks of poorly chewed food has irritated it. To bad I couldn't get a tt out of it, but as I understand a hernia could be fixed Lap, no extra cutting required..... What can I do tonight to stop the pain........ and know that I am diagnosing myself. I KNOW that I must get a professional to tell me the facts.

I am starving............ I bought some Egg Drop Soup for lunch and then burped it back up and I just said......... OK WHAT IS THE USE??? I guess I'm a wee bit more worked up than I thought. REALLY though, I'm ok! I have managed to NOT eat crap so far today! I have not drank any water yet though........... I bought more cream cheese, more cheese, more milk, more cottage cheese, and more meat.... for my sticking to a Lower Carb plan... (Milk is not exactly low, but I LOVE it and it does have protein) I managed to NOT buy any Milk Nog, and I've not allowed ANY ice cream to pass my lips.. Thanks everyone for the continued support on Robby and now the boobs..... and Pammy..... I WANT TO GO HOME~~~~ and now I'm HEARING you sing the Violets Song in my head! LOL

Welcome Mae!!!! LOL!!! and 75 lbs is GREAT!

Haydee: Your beauty takes my breath away!!!!!!!!! and the dancing pic is nice too! :thumbup: DO NOT FREAK OUT at what I’m about to tell you……….. My cell phone just rang and it was the hospital. I had a mammogram a week ago, the radiologist read it and now want to recheck both breasts as they see area’s in both that are of concern. My last mammo was in 2005, so there could be a lot of changes since then (namely losing 100 lbs). But I will tell you all this right now…….. If I do have cancer they will BOTH be coming off. I really think it will be fine. I am sure it is that I wore deodorant and the weight loss. I have my follow up Mammogram on Friday 11/07/2008, @ 11:30 (11:15 a.m. check in).

Good morning!!!! I had ONE mini (bite sized) Pumkin tart and 1 bite of lemon cake with reduced sugar icing yesterday and that was IT for junk! Yeah me..... Morning was: Mock Danish (LC standby) Coffee w/sf creamer Small glass of milk L: Tomatoe soup w/milk Few chunks of mozz cheese D: ground pork w/refried beans and taco seasoning (boys had burrito's) I ate abot 1/2 c of this S: 2 slices of provelone cheese S: 1 cup of SF pudding S: cream cheese, splenda, vanilla, baking cocoa, heated and stirred smoothe (another LC standby) No Rum, but I did have dt. dr pepper and NO WATER..... The scale was 185 today....... Going to work on the water issue today....... and I LOVE the NO-to junk-Vember. Kat: I'm going to be singing that song now all day!

OK..... so Robby had a bad bad day at school........ he told everyone he didn't CARE if he lost the party because he would be swimming all weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge (Indoor Waterpark) He then wrote on the walls and had a very difficult day........ So hard as it was............ Robby did NOT dress up for trick or treating and he watched his brothers go from place to place, while he held my hand in street clothes........... AND he did NOT swim at the Great Wolf Lodge..... I didn't even take his swimming trunks! IT SUCKED, but it had to be done........ Charles and I took turns sitting out with him while he watched everyone. He was so bored, but he never got as upset as I expected him to. He is now sitting in his timeout chair bored out of his mind........ this has been a rough rough weekend ON ME, but I know it had to be this way........ he needs to get it through his stubborn head that he CAN NOT act that way day after day...... The scale is up 187 today......... so I am getting my act together and going to drink my water and get my fat fingers out of the candy bowl!!! This is my breaking point......... and I am going to make an appointment for a couselor....... I have stress coming at me from every side of my life and I just want to eat...... and I've had at least ONE drink per night........ this is not helping matters.... Jennifer, sorry to hear about your aunt. Denise: those babies are soooo cute!! Tracy: Macy was a beatiful princess! Suzie: Well at least your VALUED at work!!! LOL Pamela: Hope you had a great weekend! Haydee: were you a vampire vixen?????? Laura: Did you find your pirate outfit? That roast sounded yummy! Judy: are you at church right now? Terry: I've been thinking about you lately.. how are you doing? How is Hero? Jane: Did you make it through your working weekend!!!!!! I saw something that made me think of you yesterday... and did you all know Jane has a SOCK FETTISH!!!!!!!!! She wears colored socks that matches EVERY OUTFIT!!!!!! Today you need to wear YELLOW SOCKS becaue Yellow (the color of sunshine) will brighten up your day!

Good morning ............my coffee is done so I will be back in a second

Happy Halloween! We shall see what today holds!!! It's a busy work day. I did not dress up as planned........ no energy....... I just have a pumpkin t-shirt.

Back from my all day meeting, Back from picking up Robby from school and today he got his 10th checkmark on the board so that means he loses the halloween parade and party tomorrow at school...... THAT STUBBORN CHILD..... he really doesn't know yet what he is missing, because he just shrugged his shoulders and said oh well. Then I told him that since he lost his party I would not be attending it either, and I called my boss to tell him that I wouldn't need the afternoon off work....... it was then and when I told him we wouldn't even be sending his costume to school because he lost it...... then he got upset......... Also he has lost riding any of the "big" slides at Great Wolf Lodge tomorrow night.. (we are taking the boys to an indoor water park for Halloween)........ I am sick at heart about it all but I know that he needs to learn the lesson the hard way..... the only way he learns anything....... STUBBORN.... ahhhhhhhhh ........ Anyway, my scale is bouncing.... 179-184......... no water and lots of crap........ like Michelle, I do give a lot...... I worry, I think, I dwell, I stress....... and yes ice cream makes it go away for about 30 minutes... me thinks I have some issues! I hope everyone has a great evening!!!!!!! its Survivor and Grey's Night!

I am checking in to let you all know that I will be at an offsite meeting today! Jane: I'm sorry you are having a rough time!

Oh yeah oh yeah!!!!!!! I was hoping that was the date!!! Charles and Cody will be in COLORADO ON A SCOUT TRIP!!!!!!!!! can I get a HELL YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO justification REQUIRED!!!!! I just got re-engergized!

LOL!!! Pam I was waiting for someon to figure it out for me!!! LOL

its for RNY patients (I think) also what is the DATE for Bama???

Good afternoon!

Good Morning! Crazy Hair day at school... so I moused Robby's hair up and put a bit of the green goo in it, dried it with the hair dryer and sent him to school............ two little girls exclaimed.. HE CAN'T HAVE DYED HAIR!!!! over and over again......... GOOD GRIEF! I'm going to have a melt down...... Luckily I ran into his special ed teacher and she had a bright PINK wig on, she said she was unaware of a hair dye policy and stated she did the same thing to her kids, and that he would be fine for today.......... My boss got into a HUGE fight with our "sister" boss yesterday afternoon...... and she basically called him a liar a cheat and a bad person, all over a $1700 check that is meant to purchase 86 gift certificates for an employee drawing, and Candy Bars. HE IS LIVID and stewed about it all night............. so this morning he was in here waiting for me to arrive and he tore up the check and is currently at Walmart right now buying them with HIS OWN MONEY...... He said NO ONE, and HE MEANS NO ONE in his 45 years of working has EVER accused him of such horrible things least of all a nun........ this is not going to end well................. Panda: I've been wondering about you!!!!!!!!! How is your mom doing?

The flying monkeys found my fat ass and hauled me back in....... I have had a week (and it's only Tuesday) I had a MJC today and then dumbass me ate a campfire burnt hot dog (DRY NO KETCHUP) and then spent a very painful series of trips to the woods so that I could PB in peace! I am logging on to check in before bed............ Suzie, Tracy and all thanks for coming to fetch me! I have been OD'ng on Milk Nog................. Robby and I had a VERY FUN weekend alone just us doing Halloween stuff while DH and DSS camped...... Bliss really. Kat that is so wonderful about the "C" word!!!!!!!!!! Denise I'm going to check out the slide show tomorrow! Tracy: I'm jealous of the easy time you are having with Macy (except for the teacher issue) OK.. gotta go to bed now. YAWN Oh and Judy YOU LOOK MARVELOUS! Gas was 2.12 here in KS.... and I'm filling up heading Terry's advice.... I am rebublican but I just don't like McCain........he irritates the everlivingshit out of me........ and I gotta say it....... I DO NOT WANT MY MEDICAL PREMIUMS TAXED...... this is the worst thing he could say to someone who has great insurance, great premiums and carries FAMILY EVERYTHING....... and see's the impact on my paycheck... I am still undecided........ and that stresses me out too!!!! OK.. GOODNIGHT!

Oh and our household is split down the middle so I'm not even going there on this box.
