Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

Morning Violets~

LMAO Michelle, you even had me going! My first thought was, "I guess her sister's name is Pam and I missed when she told us!" LOL that was a good one...I WISH IT WERE TRUE! That sounds like my kinda night!

Yeah Terry...Where TF is TracyKS??? She is too busy being Mrs. DH that she doens't have time for the Violets:crying:.

Boy, I had a headache the size of Texas last night. Since about 1pm...I even worked out thinking it might help. I had a porkchop and salad last night too. Then Susanne came home and she rang the door bell. I was surprised cause she was about 30 min too early by my calculations. I wasn't expecting her...plus why the hell is she ringing the bell right? Soooo, I yell "Who is it (it is dark outside) and I didn't hear anything. I slightly open the door, thinking the screeen door would be closed and locked and she was right there. She had opened the screen and was coming in the door. I screamed soooo loud, I gave myself a sore throat and a REALLY REALLY BAD HEADACHE. She was laughing soooo hard she almost pee'd her pants. I was dying. So I ended up opening up some wine and she and I finished a bottle...ON A SCHOOL NIGHT! WOOHOO. Sorry for the long rambling story!

OMG...I've been meaning to tell you all this. Have you all (ya'll) seen Into the Wild? OMG what an amazing movie! I highly recommend it. It is beautiful and teaches us about life...more importantly, living. It is PG13 and is great for everyone.

OK...I should get crack-a-lackin' and booty-smackin'. Have a great day! I'll pop in later!

Morning girls~

I have had no less than 40 spiders on my foot this morning! Scary huh? That was the example my DD used to explain April Fools to Kinsey, so she repeats it every little bit---ya gotta act scared!!! Dingbat!

Feeling a bit better today--not nearly as congested, thinking that is helping my stomach feel better too---not having all that drainage into it all night. Gross!

Going to strip beds, and do laundry today. Feel like it or not!

Pamela---I can so relate to your scare with Susanne! The other night, Rick had gone to bed, and I was still up, the wind was blowing something fierce....and I heard things blowing around out back, so I went into the garage, and hit the patio light switch--just about that time a big old tumbleweed blew across---scared the hell outta me! My heart was pounding from that, but I was kinda laughing to myself, so I walk back in to the house, turning off the light as I come in, and walked smack dab into Ricks chest! I couldn't even scream! He had been in bed! He heard the door, and gets all pissy when I go exploring noises on my own! He had his arms around me, I froze----it took a couple seconds to register it was him! I so know how frightening that would have been. You know what they say about revenge......

Well I will check in off and on between loads of laundry.

Michelle---do you ever read any Jonathon Kellerman?

Goooooooood morning, Violets..

Well, March sure went out like a Lion yesterday. It rained hard all day and today it's still raining and windy. Good news is a lot of the snow has melted. Bad news is... there's tons left!

I'm sore and stiff today from all the painting yesterday. Today I work my shift at the hosptial and then come home and tackle some more painting. The Bobster is moving the computer desk out so I can get behind and strip the last of the wallpaper. This is such a small room, you'd think it would take a matter of hours to get done instead of days!! Oh well, it will be a definite improvement when I'm done.. I HOPE!

Today in my journal I wrote 51 weeks. So next Tuesday it will be 52 weeks to the day that I had my surgery. We all have lots to Celebrate this month.. weight loss, self esteem boost and best of all, finding lots of Violet Sistahs here. Sure hope this meeting in May is the first of many so that those who couldn't make it this time might be able to next time. I'm really getting excited! I'll probably start packing in another week or so!:puke:

I'm off to the hospital. Catch ya all later! TracyinKS... we're sending the monkeys out after you!!!

Hah Kat, I didn't know what you were talking about, I thought you really had 40 spiders on your foot.. I literally would have died from a heart attack or shock.

I don't ever do anything for April Fool's, I can't keep a straight face!

Maybe the honeymoon isn't over :puke: :)

YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

No, I've just been super busy... and I've been eating like crap, we got a puppy, DH back went out and today he is seeing a pain management specialist (partner of a surgeon) he has been off work, and he's been very cranky because he is freaking out.... work is crazy and my boss called last night because his daughter went into labor so they were heading to the Lake to meet her at the hospital (about 3 hours away) ohhhh and my period is getting ready to hit, so I cry at commericals......

Robby starts swimming lessons tonight, and I've also signed him up for his first year of T-Ball........... trying to figure out if I'm going to switch daycare on him for the summer and then again when he starts kindergarten.... (the current' place put a stop to all field trips last summer and they are not resuming them this year) park, movies, swimming, skating, fire station........... so I'm thinking of switching him to a place that does the fun summer stuff.

The issue is he can't start the school district sponsored summer program util he completes kindergarten, but he wILL be going to the before and after program when he starts in August.........

I bounced back up to 194 today....... grrrrrrr, but I had a cookie for Breakfast, so that tells ya how I've been eating.:)

I come here to our April 07 Bandsters area and that's it... in fact, I didn't realize 'til just now that there was a "Tips" thread!! HA HA!! I thought that the tips idea just faded away!! Bwah ha ha! I think I was supposed to be Saturdays..... whoops!! Right now I feel very, very, very computer-illiterate! And a bit oogy to think that people can monitor what thread I'm looking at, etc... <shudder>

Yeah, I ignore the fact you can see where we're browsing.. but I don't like on profiles now it shows WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Like I was editing profile, and it said I was doing something, like editing my information. Eep.

And I don't like that people can see when I look at their profile, I like to be sneaky!!

And I thought the social group would be fun, now I'm not sure why I did it. SIGH! THANKS KAT! :lol:

You gals are funny today

my stomach hurts so bad. I am so bloated, wtf (i can still say it too :lol: ) is this ever going to go away?

I did push it and go to the gym today. I was going to shower but i'm thinking.............. no... LOL

I'm going to go outside and play with ds since it is 60 out and going to rain then get back to 40 tonight. Then i'm going to Water aerobics at 6:30 and will have to shower again.. so why bother

I'm going to do water aerobics again in the morning and work out then get my hair colored. suddenly groing at at out of control rate... come on, i'm not working, slow down, i can't afford you . LOL

Went to do weights already, I'm putting my exercise challange to myself back up, I was much more accountable when I had to log it.

Hey Tracyks - I hope to start swim lessons for ds this week for 1/2 session then the end of april he starts next level. We talked about Tbal too, but with not working and dd focusing on Cheerleading we decided to wait until next spring too. He loves tossing the football too so I want him to pick what he wants to do. Pop warner for his age is so cute/

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
