Hi everybody! Guess who has to work the entire weekend- me:crying:. Three 12hr shifts. I have been sneezing for 2 days, took benadryl last night it did not help very much. Oh well, nothing to do but "suck it up" and get 'er done.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend, the weather here is suppose to be beautiful. I will be either sleeping or working

Hey everybody,

Kat, thank you for the explanation. This woman says she wants to lose 70 pounds, so i'm not sure if she'll qualify. It seems like one would have to be at least 100 pounds overweight, but I'm definitely no expert, that's just my opinion.

Terri, a couple of times I couldn't log on at work, either, but this must be the day for computers to cooperate :biggrin:.

Yesterday one of the accountants asked me if I'd received my check for the annual meeting I played for a couple of weeks ago. I said no, thinking that was a strange question because I'd already gotten the gift card.

Well, this morning I got a check through our inner office mail. $100! Works for me!

Evrybody feel better.

Have to go back to work.

Debbie

Good Saturday morning Folks.

We have been having some of the most beautiful weather here. I wonder how much longer it will last. I know they are calling for in the 60's about the middle of the week. That's still not bad. Great walking weather.

Jenn, WOOT WOOT.

T&A, I forgot to mention to you guys that Darrell and I stopped by Buc ees on our way back. Holy Cow. You could spend a fortune in there. And I have to admit that they do have the nicest, cleanest bathrooms ever. We actually got out of there without buying anything, :biggrin:, go figure. I highly recommend it to everyone. A Texas must see.

Ok, off to go do my walk. See ya all soon.

Did my walk and it felt good.

I took off and mailed a package to my brother in California. I think it would have been cheaper to drive it there myself. And get there sooner then Thursday. lol.

Went over to Zarda BBQ. They are having their Rib Fest. So I got 4 slabs of ribs, 1 quart of cole slaw, 1 quart of Beans and 2 lunch specials. I asked the girl if $60.00 would cover it. She charged me $45.00. She used to date my nephew and the lady in line in front of me is a good friend of mine and her son owns the store. She got hers free and I got mine at a reduced price. I'm happy. I'm gonna freeze 2 slabs for Christmas. Normally their ribs ar $21.00 a slab.

Got my housework done. Working on laundry and then I'm gonna chill for awhile.

It sounds like we are all knee deep in cleaning and laundry! Oh what fun...

I actually have Zach shampooing the carpet!

Congratulations, Jenn!!!

Suzie, glad you got to see Bu-cee's. The largest I have seen is on I-10. Did you go back that way or is there a Buc-ee's I am missing???

Mmmmm....ribs. I made lasagna last night and there is plenty left. We are doing left-overs tonight!

My nose/head issues seemed to have passed but Mike feels terrible. I rubbed his chest with Vick's last night and well...we both slept good! It was strong. I could still smell it after he left this morning, lol.

I am going in tomorrow for a 10 hour shift. Mo' money...mo' money!

Have a good one...

Angela

Happy weekend everyone! Well except for the cleaning and laundry part lol. I've tried catching up on posts and see there are a couple new people. Hiya new guys! :) I'm still kinda new here too but you'd never know by how they've welcomed me.

ughh Suzanne your bbq sounds soooo good. It's very chilly here today and windy so that sounds like nice warm comfort food. I hope it freezes soon so my allergies will get better. I can't hardly go to sleep at night because of the ringing in my ears. It's driving me crazy, anybody have any tips for lessening it?

I've got to tell you guys what happened on Thursday. I got to work and was hungry (I haven't been eating Breakfast since LB, well really before either!) and I had an Atkins Protein Shake in my little fridge (NP told me NO cold anything first thing in the morning ever) so I poured it in a cup and drank it. Filled me up.

About 30 min later my back started hurting BAD and then it moved to include the middle of my gut just below my breast bone. It was hurting so bad y'all I started getting queasy and felt lightheaded. I was afraid of 2 things, somehow I did something bad to my band or those dang kidney stones were starting to move (I've got 4mmish ones on both sides ugh).

So I left work and made it home and laid down for about 20 min. Got just a tad better but still hurt bad. I was getting really scared by now. Trying to figure out what doc to try to see, the one that was open to LB has had to leave her practice as she has cancer and the other 2 PAs I've seen there don't seem very open to it. And our ER is awful. But it's a 3 hour drive to see the NP at the surgeon's office. ugggghhhh panic time.

Then it kinda started feeling like a really bad muscle cramp in the middle of my belly. So for some reason I thought I would drink some really really warm (read: HOT duh) Water. It actually felt good. And made it hurt a little less. So I got the heating pad out and put it on my belly. After about 15 min better still.

Got up to go into the kitchen and just as I got in there I let out the biggest longest burp you've heard! O.M.G. it was the worst one yet lol. But.........

the pain went totally away!! ROFL I was starting to think I was going to die right there and all I needed to do was BURP! So I've learned 2 things...... NO cold drinks at 8am and SLOW DOWN. I love how the band gets your attention.

over. and. over. again.

Been quite awhile since I've felt that goofy! :D

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
