Kat, painting? I tried that a couple of times, it looks almost like fun, until you paint a few strokes with a brush or a roller, LOL. I know Rick will be very happy and surprised.

Betty, batten down the hatches and be prepared, looks like one H of a storm. How close or far away are you from there?

Diane, are interested in a cocktail this afternoon? I'm thinking about heading your way about 11ish.

Donna, where are ya? I know school is a busy time, but don't forget about us.

Chrispy, those pictures on myspace are adoreable! What cuties!

Hugs everyone!

Hi everyone!

Im back! Had the surgery Tuesday. The actual surgery went real well, however, I did have complications. They couldn't get me out of the anesthesia and than after that I couldnt breathe on my own for about 1/2 hour, so while wide awake, they had to put me on a respirator and bag me. it was so horrible. I had to actually get their attention by writing on paper because they thought i was ok, but was actually couldnt breathe. so i ended up in ICU for the duration of my hospital stay. But I am home since wednesday and doing real well. i am moving around, able to shower and sleep and drink

i am still real excited and very optimistic about my journey!

so how are all of you?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about all of you.

Pat, of course I wouldn't forget any of you! I'd love to have a drink sometime and don't mind driving to meet Diane.

School is still going well. I am also taking a class on Thursday nights from 4 to 7, so I've been pretty busy. I'm settling into my new school. I hope I can start cutting down on all the hours I've been working. After a lazy summer I'm struggling with these 55 hour weeks. lol

I'm due for a fill on Oct 1st. I'm thinking about calling in sick, since I'm taking off to go to UVA medical center for my husband on the 23rd of this month. Let me know if you'll be around that day. I'd love to celebrate!

Eileen- those puppies are adorable! They all look so different too!

Sherry - I'm definitely going to try that crock pot recipe. It looks delicious!

Betty- I'm glad you are healing well! Send some pics when the swelling goes down.

Michaele- good luck with your new band; I know you'll be glad you made the decision.

If I missed you, it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you. Take care.:smile:

Nothing much happening, pups are getting bigger, they can see and have teeth... they yipe pretty loud now LOL... but boy are they cute, little teddy bears.

Have a wonderful week ladies...... keep smiling.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
