Ky.hen

Thank you for the encouragement. Sorry that I haven't been on here much lately. I have been dealing with some family issues and having computer problems.

I happy to hear that you are doing ok. I will try to take time to keep updated on your progress. Judy

Just saw your new pictures. You look great.

I'm so happy to hear your good news. I'm down 34 lbs. now. My goal was to be down 35 by Christmas.

I'm happy with my sleeve. I know that you will be too.

The pre-op is the worse part I think. Keep us updated on your progress. Good luck with your journey. Judy

Happy Birthday!

You look great in your pictures.

Hi Norma,

Just wondering how you are doing. Good luck on your special day. I'll be waiting for you to post. Have a safe trip back.

Hello Mountain,

Glad that you enjoyed my story. Upton is about 15miles south of Elizabethtown. Good luck in your journey with the insurance co. My insurance would pay for the band or bypass, but not the sleeve. That is why I am self pay. I only wanted the sleeve. Looking forward to keeping up with your journey. Judy

I just loaded some new pictures. If you run your curser over the pic. you can read the caption.

Just checking in with you Mari. How are you doing? Judy

Hi Trudy, Thanks for the info. I e-mailed Sue. We are gonna have such a good time getting to know one another. Judy

Yeah, I'm taking 2 pair of pj's and a light robe. I am going to start taking vitamins tomorrow. I will start some iron pills this weekend. I have always been a little anemic. What kind of anxiety pills do you take?

How are you Mari? I went ahead and started working on the pre-op a little early. I was on an eating binge. Had to try and get it under control. Have a good day. Judy

Ok Trudy, here is what I had yesterday. I will tweak it down more carefully on the week before surgery.

6:30am 1 slice ham 1 bread.

11:30am stuffed pepper, applesauce

3:00pm 2 slices of ham

7:00pm stuffed pepper, small salad

Lots of water and crystal light in between.

Hi Trudy,

I'm sorry about not answering your last message. I just now saw it. I look forward to seeing pictures of your son. It really will be like a vacation won't it. I only dread the 7 hour flight and the 1 1/2 hour drive. That is going to be a long time to go without eating on the way there and then only clears on the way home. I might take something to help me sleep on the way home.

I started my "under 30 carb diet" yesterday. I too was eating too much. I already feel less stress by going ahead and starting it. I was eating everything in sight and thinking about what I was going to have next. I feel like a burden has been lifted by going ahead and getting started. I have to go to work now and I will write you back later and tell you what I had to eat on the new diet. Have a good day. Judy

Hi Trudy, I am looking forward to meeting you too. Please bring pictures of your family. I love children and looking at pictures. I work as a kindergarten assistant and I do alot of scrapbooking. I will bring pictures too. How old is your son? Judy
