THURSDAY WHATS HAPPENING POSTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

Well im going to write this early for Thursday morning and post it early since the weather is suppose to get so bad. and sometimes when it storms like that my satalite for my computer goes out . So ---- Today was spent gathering and collecting we went and got some propane for the guest house since we dont know what will happen to the elect. If it goes out from ice we would be sitting in our house without anything, no heat or anything. so the guest house is heated with propane hence the hooking it up. have two oil lamps over there all ready in case. also more blankets and quilts there . i went and bought some charcoal and lighter fluid so we can cook on the grill if need be. bought lots of crackers and tuna, and canned chicken . Man that wind is really starting to blow big time. the temp is dropping like a lead balloon. has went down 20 degrees in the last 30 minutes. It is now while im writing this only 7:30pm on Wed evening but like i said i need to get this posted in case the elect and all goes out. if you dont see me for a day know that is all it is and the ones of you that have my cell phone number can call me anytime you want Claudette : thanks so very much for all the info you give us,. you are very informative and i love hearing you explain all of the details to us. makes it so plain and concise and to the point. better than i have ever heard it before. Thanks for the recepes. i made the protein balls tonight. i took some cashews and ground them up in my food processer and rolled the balls in that too. yummy. lol Rachael: that would be so nice of you if you went to see Melissa. Hopefully the weather wont keep you from doing that. Sugar: I hope you get to use your tickets in Branson. but doesnt look like you will . Sorry about that. Kat: im worried about you getting to Sedalia on time for your surgery. this weather looks like it is going to be bad. hope you can get there. will keep you in prayer that you arrive ok. Andrew: Dont know what your reason could be about not much weight loss. usually guys lose like crazy. you may be retaining fluids. maybe go see your pcp and let them check you over. dont know what to tell you guy. i have noticed that once in a while my ankles seem to swell a little but that is usually close to the end of the day. best bet is to go see pcp and find out what they think and if they have no clues call Dr. Hs office. I know at a little over 2 weeks i had only lost 20 pounds and i was very disappointed. but everyone loses at their own rate and you may be losing lots of inches already. Did you measure before you started this journey? if not measure now and everytime you weigh measure you will get a much better view of where you are. Yeah i felt like a dork calling you this morning. I was turning my phone on and must have hit a button. I have gotten where i wear my blue tooth headset most of the time and i just had put it on and hear you saying hello, hello. lol but was nice to talk to you. Oh yes if the protein drinks were all you were doing for protein you would come up short if you drank the 3 drinks without milk but not much only about 18 grams. i know i have a hard time getting in 3 of the protein drinks a day. but i try to do at least two and eat the other 30 grams of protein which isnt easy but what i eat i try to make it protein, nothing but protein. make those protein balls up and have them on hand will help with snacking and also protein too. WELL THE RAIN JUST HIT HERE WOW AND IT IS RAINING REALLY REALLY HARD Vesta: everyone here will be keeping you in prayer till your surgery at least i will i know and im sure others will too. Im glad your daughter is getting more comfortable with the rny. I just feel like i dont want to devote the rest of my life to running back and fort getting adjustments to lose weight. i want it off now and then it will be up to me to keep it off. Debbie M: hey dont give up on getting your surgery before the end of the year. since you have had your consult your ahead of the game and as soon as your insurance gives the go ahead it will be a go. just becasue the weather is going to be bad here right now doesnt mean that it will be next week lol not in the ozarks. hey if you can come to our little get together in December dont worry about eating in front of us. all our spouses are eaters too you know. doesnt bother me one little bit , sure wish you would come. Brenda: wow on lindas 75 pound loss that is awesome. i bet she is looking really good. yes i sure hope she can get to the get together too. I am going to email Dena and tell them about our get together and ask her and margie and dr. H if they would like to come for awhile and at least stop by and say Hi even if they cant stay long or anything. would be neat huh? Oh you and Andrew talking about all those places over there makes me homesick . Since i was born and raised in Fredericktown . I left when i was 17 and graduated from high school. Did you read all of Claudettes posts about dumping etc? she really explains it well i think. I have never done that , I have thrown up but it has always been my own fault , eating too fast or not chewing well enough. something. NOW THEY ARE GIVING OUT TORNADOE WARNINGS. THE ROOF OF THE JIM STAFFORD THEATER WAS BLOWN OFF JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO MY SATILITE IS OUT RIGHT AT THE MINUTE ... MY COMPUTER INTERNET CAME BACK ON AND IM GOING TO POST THIS BEFORE IT GETS ANYWORSE. LOVE ALL OF YOU LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS. JAN

Please be safe momma jan and everyone!!! Xoxo

Jan, Thanks for having Claudette explain the dumping. I think mine is just from food that my new stomach just doesn't like and I throw up. I just heard from Karen S. From St. Ann MO. and she wants to come to our Dec meeting. Someone from Sedalia area needs to post directions on how to get to the Golden Corral. I'm looking forward to it. I agree that you should call and make some kind of reservations so we have a big enough table for everybody. May need to have, the ones that are going, to RSVP through e-mail so as to know how many are coming. We will all have to pray REAL HARD that the roads will be clear and the weather will be good!! I pray that Kat has a safe trip to the hospital and a great outcome on her surgery. We have to go to St. Louis in the morning, leaving out about 7:30 am. I just pray we don't get the snow until tomorrow evening. That's what the weather man says anyway that it will be rain tomorrow and then the bad front moving in tomorrow night. I sure do hope they are right. I have got to get things ready for tomorrow's trip and get in bed so I can get up early, that does not compute in my head, getting up early Everybody stay warm. Talk to you later. Brenda
