Hump Day

Hey Its Wed. after today it's all down hill!!! I wont be on tomorrow so pray for my grandaughter Emily. she is having Kidney reflux surgery and I will be at the hospital with mom and dad...Just cant have her going under the knife and not be there.. she is 2. (She is one of the triplets) Didnt sleep last night.. sigh.. laid in bed but know I wasnt asleep the whole night!! Now I am up and going to exersise before my shower for work... it is going to be a LONG day.. Linda

Linda, Im saying a prayer for baby Emily, im sure she will do great but i know you are worried. You better get some rest tonite you will need it tomorrow. Be thinkin about ya. Carla

My prayers will sure be with you tomorrow! I sure wi**** was Saturday already. I hate working nights, and i work that shift thursdays and fridays. It sucks big big time, as I'm really sleepy and sick these days, and its hard for me to even stay awake that long, I'm normally in bed by 7 pm for pete's sake! Think I'm going to have to call Dr. Caccuci as much as I dont want to, I've hardly broken 1,000 calories once this week, and I'm supposed to be getting 1800. Sounds like the liquid nutrition is on its way sadly. Really can't afford to delay much on this one, baby needs those nutrients now. So I guess I'll be making that call today. Also found out that if dr pulls me off work any sooner than Nov 1, I'll get no benefits whatsoever. We need that extra income right now, or I wouldn't be working at all. So I'm not sure what we're going to do, just wait and see what he says I guess.

Thank You to the weather Gods! I like it when it cools down. I even like the rain once in a while. (Being from the Pacific Northwest) I still haven't opened the scale package yet! I feel so good about that. I don't want the number on the scale to define who or what I am. It feels so nice to have a good day because I feel good and not because I have lost a pound or not. I know I have been doing good, because my pants are getting to big again. I had three pairs of jeans that I loved and now I don't want to wear them because they aren't tight. LOL The scale will not control my life any more!!!! I had my labs drawn yesterday so in a few days' I will know if I am getting the proper nutrition or not. I tried the no bake cookies from Sherri's profile, YUMMMMM!!! The kids and husband loved them. I'm not much for sweets but I did enjoy one! Thank you for sharing them. Lynda your family will be on my prayer list! I had a child have the same surgery and it was so scary! I know she will be fine but I will pray for her just the same!! Take care of yourself and her Mama. Lots of smiles, Carmen

Good Morning and Hump Day To Y'all, Monday was my 12 month appointment with Dr Clark. He told me I was the picture perfect poster child for lapband sucess... . He asked that I only loose 9 more lbs in the next six months. Hahahahaha - I KNOW I'll loose more then that in six months. ANyways he gave me the go to go ahead and have Dr Turkle start my plastics so I called her office yesterday and they are gonna start processing the insurance information and then I see her again Nov 27th. Today though - I'm heading down to St Francis Beach Groove for a CT scan. I told Dr Clark that I was still having lower abdominal cramping frequantly after eating and that the only relief I can get is by a heating pad which then makes me blech and/or fart. So he wants to rule out adhesions and today is my CT scan. I'm sure it's nothing but I always say - "Better safe then sorry". Linda - you and your family will be in my prayers tonight. Everyone have a positive day. Jodi

OMGosh Jodi, I had to check your profile to make sure it was really you. You look so great!!! I am amazed at everyone. Keep up the great work, you inspire me. Thank you, Carmen

Hahahaha Yep it's me! Thanks for the compliment. I'm getting ready to add newer comparison pics up on my profile here before to much longer. My son's cousin and I are gonna do the HOME version of Glamour Shots, hehehe. So I'll hopefully have so "pretty" pics to show soon. Jodi

Linda the grandbaby will be in my thoughts tomorrow!! You better get some sleep tonight so you can be ready with the grandma love tomorrow! I have been doing really well this week getting all my protein and water etc. Next week I am making myself start exercising. That's been the biggest thing I haven't been doing. I hate exercising and sweating. Blah! I think I am going to have to put the scale away. I find myself weighing every morning and I know that's no good. I am having the feeling like with previous diets where I lose a little weight and that's all. Feel like I am just stuck/done. I know I'm not but its still hard to kick the thought. Have my friend's wedding this weekend so lots to do in regards to that. Might skip out of work early to go get my nails done and my toenail polish changed. Have to color my hair tomorrow. Ordering the dress a size smaller worked out perfectly! It's being altered and they are taking the straps up and taking it in on top. Losing a lot of my weight in my boobs...DAMMIT! I'll post pictures this weekend when I get back. Hope everyone has a great day!! Sam

Linda Your family will be in thoughts and prayers. Oh and I got the box of goodies and am getting ready to take it to the boss. I know he will sure appreciate it. Thanks so much. I hope everyone is having a great day. I am not enjoying the weather. It is a little to cool for me. I don't know what I am going to do when winter gets here. Freeze I guess. Kylie

Linda, Will keep you and little one in my prayers. I do understand your not being able to sleep. I have three granddaughters and would be in the same place if any of them needed surgery. Take care. Gail
