Good Tuesday Morning!

Wow!!! I am starting the board this morning! I guess that means the rest of the Hoosiers are still asleep! Must be nice! HAHA I have not got much planned today.........except cleaning house and getting ready for my "Last Supper" with my family and friends this Sunday afternoon.  I am making spaghetti as one of my last meals, and I have invited 30+ of my friends and co-workers to enjoy it with us! LOL  Jimmy thinks I am nuts, but I say, the more, the merrier!  I have to clean the house from top to bottom today to start getting ready for it. UGGH! I hate to clean house, and Jimmy always is the one that does it, but since this is "MY" idea, I have to pitch in as much as I can! Oh well, it will keep me occupied and keep my mind busy with that. Time to get the girls up for school. I will be around again later. Have a wonderful day!

LaChelle, that sounds like a nice way to celebrate, with your friends! I had a rough day at work yesterday. I felt like I had done EVERYTHING wrong. I was in my supervisor's office for 45 minutes, going over things I should have done differently. Sigh. I know he's feeling pressures from above, and I know he wants to make me a better VR counselor, but it's still not fun.  Our daycare lady, Melanie is still in ICU, and not doing well. If anyone out there prays, she could use your help. We've had to find other daycare, and will probably stay at the new daycare, since this is going to be a chronic condition, but we will always be friends with Melanie. She has watched our kids for seven years.  I was so excited this morning to see I was down a pound! It's going pretty slowly now, but that's okay. I would like to lose down to 160 in the next 6 weeks though, before my plastics appointment. We'll see. That's less than 1 pound/week. Should be doable. 

Good morning everyone!

I'm in a better mood today than I was after Dr. Gupta's appointment. I'm still frustrated by it but I'm just going to have to accept that all things are for a reason and go on with life. So...for today....

I get to go shopping without the wound-vac! YEAH! Tiffany will be my 'date' for the St. Vincent party next Tuesday so I asked her to go shopping with me today. I think after all she's been through for me the past few months, she has well earned a new outfit as well! I love it though that I'll be able to try on clothes without the wound-vac in the way! I wish the belly wasn't either, but at least the swelling is down quite abit from where it was and that is saying alot.

Since I was given permission to drive yesterday by Dr. Gupta ('just be sure it's locally!'), Bill & I celebrated by going to our favorite oriental buffet last night. I love and appreciate all of our friends and family, but it sure was nice to be independant again.  Well...I better start getting ready for my big shopping trip! You all have a terrific day! Sherri ps...Check out my ticker!!! I'm NORMAL!!!  Woo-hoo!!!!

I'm glad your feeling a little better today!! Shopping is therapeutic hehe!! Just don't wear yourself out tooo much now :)

Good Morning Everyone.

Not doing to much today. I am going to go grocery shopping and spend time with my 3 year old.  This Thursday will be my 11th month diet program. Can't wait to say I am done with it and have approval.  Have a great day Robin

Good Morning All,  I went to see Dr Huse yesterday, He said "i was really going well" YESSSSSS!!!!! I can start to do some light exercising, but have to stop when my pain starts. It seems like forever that I have wanted to start exercising. Since 06/07 when Dr Huse did my 5.5 hr em surgery, I have felt so much better I want to do it all. But keep being rerminded I am not there yet. But I will BE. I plan on going to the ST's party. Is it eveing wear or what ???  Everyone have super day, its sunny but cold dress warm. Blessings and Hugs, Gail

I'm so glad your doing better!! Thats awesome.. As for the St Vincent's Christmas party the invite says come as you are. I hear some people show up in Jeans and a nice shirt and so get all dressed up!!! We're thinking bout coming and if we do we'll probally be somewhat casual.

Phew! I had to take a short break!!! I have cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom already, and now I need to start on the living room, but I need to catch my breath first!  My living room is a disaster as always with 2 little terrors! LOL  At least their rooms have doors on them, so I can just shut them when the party starts this weekend! LOL I am sitting here watching my own surgeon, Dr. Shina, on TV. He is the guest speaker on Listens Live, which is a Louisville local tv show produced by WAVE3. It is really an informative show and I am so glad to see that the word is getting out about WLS!  It is a blessing to see him on tv, just because it makes me realize that he does care about our health, and how we maintain our lifestyle long after the surgery is done. It isn't just a diet, it is a NEW WAY OF LIFE!! We all learn that in our own ways.......but with each other helping out, it does make it easier to manage!!! Ok, enough rambling, time to get back to work! TTYL!

Hehe enjoy!!! I had to do all that cleaning last week and it was just plum exhausting :) I

Sooooo I didn't get to sleep til 4 a.m.. It seems I'm dealing with more and more insomnia, yikes, I don't know what brought this on suddenly but I don't really like it. I've even quit taking naps during the day for the most part even though I'm really tired. I have somewhat of a busy day ahead of me I need to go to the grocery store and the library and some other running and then take my mom to work, pick hubby up later and then go pick mom up later this evening. I'm going to call  one of the ladies from support group and see if she wants to go for a walk with me or something today! She is really nice, she is preop still and hoping to have surgery in January! I had a message from my brother in law at 10:45 saying that my sister had just gotten out of surgery and he was waiting to see her. I'm praying everything is well, although I'm a little nervous that if she went in on time that her surgery was over 3 hours long. But I know all is in God's hands and she had previous belly surgeries that could have caused it to be longer. Anyways I am going to get going I think for now and start running my errands!! (( HUGS ))
