WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

another day another dollar isnt that how it goes. We went to the support meeting last night and it was great. exactly what a support meeting is suppose to be. lots of good information and lots of fun too. Was so good to meet some of the people that i talk to on the boards all the time. My hubby went with me and he even enjoyed it. Except for the chairs . He has such a bad back and hips that he cant sit in anything hard at all. I forget that he has that problem sometimes untill he has so much pain and stays in bed for a day or two. Andrew and Brenda: I would think that around 6 pm would be a good time to have supper dont you. Ok Sky, Linda, Collette, Barbara S. and Julia. Golden Corral 6pm on the 19th. Be there are be square. Sherr: sure wish you could come to our meetings you would really have a good time. We all signed a card for Melissa tonight to send to her. ...and also one to send to Marilyns Husband along with which we are going to send some flowers for her services. I never have had a finicky stomach until this surgery and now im so finicky about everything. No shopping for me yet and people may not get much from us this year. Our truck is really acting up . afraid it is going to cost us about a thousand dollars to fix it. if so no one will get anything. Kat : the time is really moving fast now isnt it? just a couple more days. woooooo hooo I know how those money problems can be. too much month left at the end of the money right? I am thinking about going back to work now that i am getting my life back. to get us straightened out. Your kids will be just fine , just worry about yourself and pray up. Andrew: oh boy fresh turnips. i always want one good mess of them a year. but that is enough. I hope they dont hurt you eating them. How did you do??? the sugar free popcycles are what it seemed like i lived on the first 2 weeks. I had a hard time getting anything at all down except those. so i was getting my water down with them anyway. lol Cant wait to see all of you on the 19th. We have a support meeting on the 18th and then Sedalia on the 19th. then the next week is Christmas and i have a granddaughter getting married on New years eve. Well not many people posted today but i figured they would say what they wanted to at the meeting.lol. Almost everyone there had their spouse with them . i think there were maybe 4 that didnt but everyone else did have. was really great. may have to get more chairs in there next month. I bought about 20 packages of spring bulbs all for half price yesterday. daffodils, tulips, crown imperials, all sorts of things. giving some of them to my daughter but keeping some to. I was going to show everyone at the meeting my new jar my sister got for me. it is a saving jar and on the outside says (facelift.) lol i keep saying that i can cover other things but my face has lost so much fat that there are wrinkles now that werent ever there before. lol Will have to put major bucks in this jar for it to have enough to help. lol Thanks Sugar. It is so cute. Hope all of you post on here today. LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS JAN

Good Morning Jan and Missouri Board, I guess this is the only way for me to be first to answer your post is to do it before I go to bed! I e-mailed Linda S. and Colette S. about the place- time & date for our meeting in Sedalia. I heard from Craig and he wishes he could come too, maybe he will. That would be great! I will enjoy seeing ones again that I have already met and meeting ones I haven't yet. Jan the support meeting sounded great I wish I lived close enough to go to it. Well I'm going to bed. Goodnight all. Brenda

Goood Morning Ya'll Sounds like the COF Support Group was great last night. Im like Brenda, I wish I was closer so we could attend. There's really not a close support group around here. Im attending a weight loss group at a church here in town called "First Place" it's a nation wide group simular to weigh****chers but everything based on the bible, it's a good group that meet once a week but none there have had the WLS. Closest group here I think is in Cape and one in St. Louis unless there are some that are not listed in the support group section. The wife and I want to make the drive to springfield one month soon, maybe after the first of the year. Jan the turnips were gggrrreeeaattt. I boiled them with some Mrs. Dash and was able to eat about 4 bites, that sure filled me up, so now I got my fill of turnips. I mashed em up pretty good so they'd go down ok. I cooked the greens from them too but was kind of afraid to try them, maybe next time. Today we're going over to Fredericktown to visit the FIL and Im gonna try and weigh and see how much damage i've done. It's raining here so looks like the yard work is gonna have to wait, oh well. The golden corral sounds like a great place to meet, the wife and I are so looking forward to meeting everyone Well Im gonna go get my day started, hope everyone has a good day!! Bless ya's Andrew

Good morning everyone! I will be ther on the 19th if wheather holds out. I won't drive if it's bad. DH works for MODOT and he will have to plow if wheather is bad. Pray for good wheather! Hugs! Barbara

Jan it was wonderful meeting you last night, you look wonderful..we had a great meeting,such a nice bunch of people...God Bless.....Vesta

Good morning Missouri..... I have been at work since 6am.....We are not that busy...so i might take the afternoon off....I had such a terrible migrane yesterday that I took lots of medication and went to bed at 630pm.....i got up at 130am and got a drink and back to bed to get up at 430am....I attempted to call Melissa yesterday but they were on their way to take her to have an ultrasound.....she said she would call me back but I think she forgot....So I will call her today....... Hope everyone has a blessed day.....and may the peace of the Lord keep each and everyone of you today..... God bless Rachael

Yuppers, just a few more days. I am getting really nervous now, and my stomach doesn't like me right now. I think it knows what I am about to do. I bought my bowel prep stuff last night. I think reality is FINALLY kicking in. It is almost time. I think the worst part is that I do not have the support of my Mom. She has been agaisnt the idea since I first started this journey a year ago. I am just glad that I have all of you and the support of my husband. I will be ok. I just have to get my head back on my shoulders and get focused on what I need to do. It is crunch time now. Time to pull out the suitcase and pack the few things that I need and pack the kids to go stay with my neighbor. My precious babies!!!! There are a few things I need to get done before I go. I need to find the charger for my camera too. Time to go get busy, I will check back in later. Love to everyone!!!

Hello Jan and everyone....YES I do want to come, I tought if you guys didnt mind, Leta, jeff and I would come on down and meet up with you all....Golden Coral sounds nice but my trips to resturants are meaningless now...I dont eat much at all or try things im not use too so its skimpy pickenings for me....But it would be fun to see you all and talk to you without my trach in this time.....God Bless Craig Lee
