Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year all...Sorry I should have  posted this earlier when you all could see it but I was busy, busy, busy with the kids and with preparing yummy foods...On Christmas I do a veggie platter, chips and dip for the rest, cheese and crackers, and finger rolls for them...Me I didn't really eat badly or too much because I am still having a lot of stomach problems.  I just get pains in my stomach after eating, makes me not want to eat at all.  I have talked to the surgeons office and they put me on a couple pills, one is for infection, but as you all know I am a very bad girl on taking my vitamins and meds.  I am tired of taking them, and also I have been very depressed lately, somewhat from holidays and missing my mom, who yes has been gone for 9 years, but it doesn't get easier.  Anyway someday maybe I will start taking care of me, before its too late!  I am no around the total loss of 88 lbs, just 12 to go before 100, this includes the 24 I lost with the liquid diet.  I can't remember where I should be because I can't find my papers from when I went to the dietitian because I moved and haven't been able to locate them, so with being depressed and all I have been down on myself about the amount I have lost or haven't lost lol...Actually to be honest, I dont know anything that hasn't been bothering me lately.  Its been a few tough weeks but I keep hanging in there.  Anyway I am rambling on as usual.  I read all the postings and it sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas and I am pleased to hear it.  You all that got Wii's for Christmas have fun with them, I hear they are fun!  I am not able to afford one or I would go buy one right away...Anyway all, take care and Happy New Year! I Love all my OH buddies!  Hugs...Angela

Wow sometimes I feel like I am talking to myself on here, people read but dont post, oh well...

Well, don't feel bad.  You aren't talking to yourself. I think everyone is busy today too.  But I'm on my lunch, so I have time to read AND post!  The holidays are tough for a lot of people, so don't feel bad.  But you really should try and take your meds, I'm sure it's difficult but hopefully you won't have to take them forever if you take them now.  I was one of the lucky ones who got a Wii for Christmas!  Blew me away, didn't realize that DH listened to me...  I haven't got to use it yet, I'll share with you my experience and see if it is all its cracked up to be.

Keep your chin up, this too shall pass. But try to take those meds and vitamins!!!

Hey Angela...sorry to hear your still have problems with your stomach.

88 lbs...?!?!  That's awesome ~ **Congratulations** !!

I can relate to how your feeling about your mum...my dad has been gone for a lil' over 26 years...and no, it doesn't get any easier at all...especially around the holidays.  I was "daddy's lil' girl" and have never really gotten along with my mum...so I do miss my dad ~ a lot !!
But I know he's always as close as I need him to be...

So "ramble" as much as you need to...that's what we're all here for 

Take care ~
and I wish all the very best for you in the New Year !! 

I read. The holidays are always tough for me also.

My youngest sister dies on  Dec 27, 25 years ago today. On Mom's birthday of all days. She was a trumpet player. I have several horn ornaments on my tree which are a symbol of her. They bring back all kinds of memories. It's also hard to have the family gathered and know one is missing.

I have my EMMC notebook. I will post the average weight losses for you.
