Saturday Whats Happening.

Good morning everyone, I know it is early but DH was snoring so loudly that I couldn't sleep so decided to come talk to you all. Lol He says I snore too , and I don't doubt that I do ,but there is a big difference for one I don't have to listen to me and number two it doesn't bother him, he could sleep thru a tornado. Well finely we got the shipment of the panels for the roof and walls of the green house. Man were those things ever heavy. We finally got them over to the work site from off the road but it wasn't easy. Now if my brother will get to feeling better to come and help us figure out what to do with them lol. Im sure glad that we had the guest cottage to put all my flowers in pots in to . Most of them are either house plants or tropical and would have been gone by now. Went to town yesterday and got everything done and back home in time to meet the trucker and help Joe unload the stuff but forgot to go by the Alltel store so I guess I will make a special trip just to do that today and go to the big store in Branson since they have a bigger and better selection of phones. Havent decided if I want a camera phone yet or not. Might be handy since you can download the pictures to the computer and so many of my family have the camera phones now would maybe be fun. What do you all think? Do you have them ? How do you like them? Is it just a novelty or is it a useable item. Tami: those dancing videos are really hard to follow along with aren't they? They just seem to think you ought to know what they are going to do next. LOL don't blame your daughter for not getting up early either. With today being Saturday I don't guess either of you will be up too early this morning. I wish I had the commitment to do my exercise tape everyday. I cant get into a routine of doing it seems like. It is a good one and not hard on the joints but a lot of stretching and slow steady movements. Sherry Baby: We really are glad that you are with us and Im glad the week is over for you too. Wish you would get a picture up on your post soon so I would know who I was talking to. Will you be at the meeting on Monday night? I am thinking about bringing my camera and taking everyone's pictures so I will know who is who lol Melissa: are you and your DH still walking every afternoon? Did you start going to the pool again? I wish I had one close to me to go to daily I know it would help these old bones more than anything. But the nearest one to us is about 45 minutes of hard driving away in Branson. And that is just to far to drive daily. Is your husband fixing up the garage to be able to work in this winter or what? The thing I don't like about the new website is that I sign in and it keeps unsigning me lol. I think they have some bugs to work out yet. Eventually I guess I will get use to it but I don't like it . It looks too much like so many other sites. And I like my profile like it was. Tressia: Oh boy it isn't too much longer till your surgery date is it. We are going to have a lot of new surgery babies soon and very soon. This next two weeks will seem long to you I would imagine with the liquid diet. Just remember that it is the start of where you want to be and that will make being on it a lot easier. And if it help shrink your liver and makes your surgery better that is good. I am glad that you have someone in place to report to us about your surgery an that you are doing ok. Who is your doctor? And where will it be done again? I am excited for you because I know what a neat thing you are doing for yourself and how much you will be changing in the next few months. Glenda: well good morning to you. Glad to see you posting. I am anxious to meet you on Monday night too. Weren't you one of the first to be done in Springfield? Im glad that you are holding well at goal. That is one of my horror thoughts is that I will lose all of this weight and then start gaining it all back. Do you exercise all the time to maintain or jus****ch what you eat? I know that we always have the TOOL to be able to lose if we do gain some but it is just scary for new post ops to think . First off that this wont work for them and then second that we will lose it only to gain it all back again. Tracey: sure wish you could come to the meeting on Monday night . Would really like to meet you face to face. I feel like I know you from reading you books. But would be nice to finally meet. How are the kids and hubby doing? Did you get a new dog to replace your one that passed away? Are you in the middle of writing a new book? I miss when you aren't on here in a while. Barbara: I am anxious to read your book . I think most everyone has at least one book in them but to get it down on paper and write it is a totally different story. I know my life has been several books lol I love to read and know yours will be good. I know it has been very therapeutic, or at least I would think it would be , there is something about writing down hurtful things that have happened to you and takes the sting out of them. Keep up the good work and hopefully it will be finished soon. Sherr: hope you are feeling better now. Take care of yourself and get well so you can get on with this weight loss journey. So it is true that blondes have dizzy heads huh? Today isn't suppose to be as pretty as yesterday was. wasn't that a beautiful day? Almost picture perfect. Well today is my B-12 shot day so guess I will go get that done so I will have the energy to get moving again. And then make my protein shake and get started on my water intake. Have already taken my vits for the day so am armed for the day. But I will get sleepy here in a bout another hour so will probably go back to bed and sleep another hour or so if the hubby quits snoring. I guess I can shut the bedroom door and sleep on the couch. See you all tomorrow. Have a good day . Hope you get to do all that you want to do. LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS JAN

Good Morning Jan And All: Jan I have a camera phone and I love it, I was out with my daughter (oldest one) at the old covered bridge off old lemay ferry road last week, I snapped a few pics for John to use as some of his nature paintings if he could. He is always looking for new material. The phone I have takes really good pics. You know the liquid diet isn't so bad for me, I rarely get hungry anyway, although I might start to be getting that way. It could be physco symatic because my daughters ordered pizza for lunch yesterday while they took a break. They helped me paint my kitchen. Boy did my stomach growl for that pizza, I had a protein shake and a little later a dish of sugar free jello. And that was alright. Jan, My Doctor is Valerie Halpin and the Hospital is Barnes Jewish in St. Louis. I am getting very excited. I have so many people that want to be there, I'm afraid the they will have an entire waiting room for just my family, and Johns. I know they want to be there to support me so I can't tell them to stay away. But I just hate people waiting on me, I always have. Well hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday full of sunshine and happiness. God Speed Your Friend Tressia

Momma Jan & Company: Well, I can say that this Blonde is very dizzy I did, in my flu like stupor, forget to tell you all that the dude, turned out to be a DUD....and that is okay....Honestly..... Can't WIN if ya don't PLAY, right? I felt really sick last night, and I know my temperature soared, so I went to bed at 7:00 p.m. I feel a lot better this morning, sitting on my huge sofa, with blankets on me. Feeling bad all week, I didn't "MOVE" around enough..........I only lost one pound thig week But, like Janet would say..."THAT'S BETTER THAN GAINING A POUND!" She always makes me feel better that way...lol Sherr

Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I had RNY April 24, 2006 and now have lost a total of 100 lbs!! I had to go to Evergreen Park, Il to have my surgery as my insurance won't pay for it to be done in Columbia, Mo. I dont post much but I do like to read. The question I have is I have seen some of the people on this website with a 100 lb lost certificate, where did they get it from Thanks, Kathleen Moberly, Mo
