It's been a while
Well Howdy everyone. It's been a while since I posted so I just thought I'd update myself. I still read everything just don't get a chance to post.
Found out yesterday my first Grand Child will be a girl. She is due at the end of Oct. Jenni, that is my son's girlfriend, I shall referr to her as my daughter in law cause I believe they will eventually get married. Called me and said are you home? Stay there I have a present for you. She showed up with a gift bag and her little boy Zak (he is 5) says don't tell Russell. It had a bib in it that said I love Grandma and it was pink and white. Nice way to be told! I also got a framed sonagram picture of the baby so cute. She also has others to give me that "show" it's a girl. Now if they could just decide on a name. She will be my first girl I have only had boys, so I can't wait to meet her!
Well I thought the major rains where over, so with the rain comes the migraines! I'm getting tired of this. I spend more time in bed lately just trying to meditate past the pain, and life and fun times are passing me by. I have a sleep apnea test this Friday. I get to stay over night at the hospital. I'm looking forward to a night alone as silly as that sounds. I am almost hoping I have sleep apnea and I get a machine and it helps with the migraines. I never used to wake up with them and now I get them upon waking all the time.
So I am on a 1400 calorie diet till liquid diet prior to surgery. According to my scale I have lost 14 pounds but when I went to the dietitian I was weighted in at 330.5 so as of this week I have lost 2.5 pounds. I'm ok with that cause I have to show the insurance company I can stick to a diet and lose weight. Anything prior to surgery is better then nothing! So according to the gym's scale last night I am 328 pounds.
I have a small request. Anyone who was a size 26/28 and still have some summer shorts, capris or tees i would glady pay postage for them. I check the clothing exchange all the time but really don't see anything. I have no summer cloths and really don't want to buy anything this year cause I have hopes that this time next year I will be much smaller. 
Looking forward at the end of the month to going to Canada to visit my husbands family! Nice vacation, family reunion.
Hope everyone is well!
Hugs,
Bel
Hi Bel, I have been wondering what happened to you and If you were okay-so glad to hear you are-minus those dang migraines-and its been so rainy, I bet you are really suffering. I will add you to my prayer request list. I hope you get relief soon!
Oh Bel, how exciting to be getting a grand-daughter~CONGRATS. You are gonna have so much fun dressing her up!! For some reason, its just been recently that little boy stuff is getting cute too-but I sure love shopping for those little ruffly dresses and leather paton shoes!! Please let us know as soon as you do what her name will be. Your poor DIL to be pregnant in July and August here really stinks~ I will be praying she has an easy pregnancy and sure sounds like a doll-how inventive, the way she told you they were having a girl-thats pretty neat!! Congrats on your weight loss too~2.5# is something!! Im very happy for you! How much longer do you have to do the diet for before surgery? You can do it-I am so happy for ya! One more thing before I go-I am currently wearing 24-26. I have some that are too big and have hung on to-I guess I have the mind set if I let them go and gain weight back (like so many times before) that I will not have anything to wear. I am down to 284. I started my journey out at 438....so, I know it still seems big for being 6 months out-but I am down 154# and thats something, in my book. So-I will go through my huge box in the middle of my bedroom floor and grab the 26/28s that are in there-and I will get to the post office and check the weight and cost-then will email you-but.....before I do that-do you need any jeans? I will email you seperately by this weekend and let you know what I have and you can let me know what you want of it-I really didnt get a chance to wear much of it (maybe 2 months tops-) because I was 5-6x when I started the journey and just whizzed by a bunch of stuff thinking it wouldnt fit-and by the time I tried it on or could wear it-it was getting big.....I also have a couple pair of capris-that are pretty cool-which I am actually sad to see go since they are pretty neat!! Would love to pay it forward. Talk to you soon~and keep us posted, ok? All my love, Janet
I have till after August to do this 1400 calorie diet. A visit once a month with each Dr to update my progress and then they send their reports to the Insurance company. Then I wait to see what the insurance company says.
You are a Darling and a live saver! I will take anything you are willing to part with...shorts capris...shirts...sundress.
I can't thank you enough!
Hugs,
Bel
