My hubby's mom/family is in MA... oh that's cute! Was just wondering if it meant something...but it means something to YOU... that's sweet!

Right on!

What part of ma? I'm in western ma near the Springfield area? I like it here cause its where I grew up but I really hate the winters? Yeah the nickname is cute he has called me that since we started dating???? Thanks blade!!!!

Right? I just realized that my closet needs a trend overhaul!!! Time to step it up.

LOL, I know what you mean!!! Today I put on one of the pairs of pants that I love to wear cause they are the skinny jeans, and I like the way I feel or felt in them till today, I feel them sagging everywhere I even have to wear a belt with them and they still feel like they are falling off? I am like what the heck???? lol

Amen Sistah!!!

Way to go PuppyChow (HA!) I lost a pound over the weekend as well. Two more pounds away from my next '0'!!!!

Thanks, I am having a hard time finding my groove, with the food part, but I am getting in what I can!!!

That's definitely something I am nervous about when the time comes. When you rely on food for so long and then you have no choice but not to - nerve wracking!

Yes it is, in fact Friday I was so upset, and I just wanted to curl up with some ice cream, which was always my comfort food presurgery, and now I can't even tolerate it? Not even frozen yogurt?

Care to share a recipe? Sounds delish!

No real recipe??? Just get the veggiti thing it's an as seen on tv thing, and you take a zucchini and make pasta out of it, and then throw some pasta sauce on top of it stick it in the microwave for 1 - 2 min and eat up!!! Quick, easy and delicious!!! Oh and really good for you too. Will be trying other types at some point but for now the easier the better!!!

Hee, Hee, Hee!

Great field! I see the big rush. Well you tell that body of yours to hurry up and get better so you can move on

Great field! I see the big rush. Well you tell that body of yours to hurry up and get better so you can move on

trust me I am telling it!!! LMAO, I am going home after today and standing under a nice hot shower and just going to let the water run down over me cause I am in so much pain just after 6 hours of being here. I could go home now if he would let me.

@Ginger Snaps Thanks I know, I think that is probably what happen last week, this week is probably going to be just as bad if not worse but I will push through and do whatever it is I have to do to get through it. Thanks

It will come off, just keep doing.

@BladeFox Thanks!!!

Isn't it funny how we're afraid of things just out of preconceived notions and then have a ball when we challenge our beliefs??? Good life lesson in lots of things.

I can't do Zumba or anything intense on the knees. Zumba is fun with the right instructor but not if you have one that lacks staying on beat Glad you are having fun!

@BladeFox, been a long time girly, glad to see your still here!!! Yeah I thought zumba was going to hurt my knees too, I was very nervous about taking the class just because of that, but I wore my knee brace and it turned out ok!!! I am going to try to keep going, but I need to find other things to do too!!! The instructor was great, and totally stayed on beat with the music!!!

@BigGirlPanties I am telling you, you won't ever eat regular Spaghetti again!!! I was skeptical at first but when I tried it, I was like holy S#%t, this is good, and so easy!! Plus it's good for you, I can't eat pasta at all, it doesn't do well in my tummy so I needed this!! I got mine at Walgreen's, and I have seen it at Walmart too. The person who told me about it got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond? So it's around. Just in case!!!

This is on my to-buy list

I have my coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond ... now to just get over there...it's across town...but thanks!

I got your back!

Thanks mama!!! I am going to be strong and tough!!!

Yep, good but I have chosen to stay off pork rinds for a bit. I love popcorn and have started to eat Skinny Pop Popcor. Low carbs and a little protein(not much.) Still must be careful on both - full of sodium.

Blade smart pop is what I've been into too they have a new low cal one too!!!

Love pork rinds. P.s. Watch the salt content..it may make u retain fluids.

I decided to have my small hernia repaired with my WLS as well as having my gallbladder removed. I don't want anything to get in the way of my weightloss journey.

Wow, Pup, I didn't know that you had a hernia or didn't get it removed during surgery!!! Glad that you went in and will be having the surgery. Look you made it through the first surgery and you will make it through this one as well...and just in time to miss Thanksgiving...Gobble, Gobble!

I didn't have a hernia when I had the surgery I got it from the surgery, so I have been dealing with it for about 6 months now and I talked to my doctor about it at my 6 month appt with my surgeon and he said not to worry about it at the time but now it's starting to hurt, I am actually getting my surgery moved up to the 17th so I should be ok, but I will be out of work for 2 weeks they said? So I don't know??? I am considering telling him to check out my gallbladder while he is in there doing the hernia just in case!!! So we will see!!!

wow, I would have been in the bathroom!!!

I'm going to our required seminar this Monday to discuss transitioning from puréed to solids and I will ask then if there is something wrong with my sleeve. I think I'm ok because I had heartburn something fierce yesterday.

They say that you can still get the heart burn with the sleeve? I haven't had heart burn since I got my bypass, and I am so glad, cause I used to get it bad!!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery and great success

Thanks MissME, I am super excited, and just can't wait for it to get here!!! Thanks BlueMoon~T, sorry I missed you on IM!!!

sending only good thoughts!!!

Thanks Mike, I don't know if I will get any sleep tonight but I am really excited tomorrow is my day!!!

What you mean? A pound is fantastic! Hurray, hurray for you. This is a marathon and a pound lost is a pound conquered. Stake that flag, you just earned it.

@Beni, I know, that is how i feel, any pound lost is a great success for me, as I am getting closer and closer to my final goal and the pounds are coming off less and less, this week friday is my 6 month mark, and I am only 39 lbs from my goal? I am good with that!!! VERY GOOD!!! lol

Amen!!!!

dealing with stress is hard - you have a great attitude holding on to those positive thoughts

Thanks proudgrammy, I am trying to turn over a new leaf? LOL, I am sick of stress getting to me!!! I want to be free and happy!!! Thats what this surgery has started to do for me so far!!!

situations are what happends and ? how we react and how we let it effect us. Making the decision to not allow it to stress you out is hard but freeing!

How about your key person taking 2 weeks off and you get all their projects and they fall apart the first day? At least I leave on vacation as she comes back and she can deal with all of it on her own.

@Ginger Snaps, I would freak, but I took 2 days off and today is my first day back and it seems everything that all my jobs that I had were going great friday when I left and now everything has gone to S%#t??? I got phone calls on my cell like the dam flood broke and everyone was drowning? I can't take a freaking break without someone freaking out????

Great job ! Keep it up , you can do it !

Yay! Great work!

Oh no! Boo to the cold but Yay for your sticking to it girl! You are worth it!

Pupichupi sending you well wishes I hope you get over your cold soon.
