WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

Starting today im going to start answering you all on the day you ask or what ever. In my post ..ok so at the end of the day if you have made a post on whats happening look back up at yours and under it I will have ask or said or responded to something you said ok?

This way late at night when im about konked out I can maybe get the post on and started so you all will have something that makes sense to read lol. Sometimes when I get so tired and sleepy I think by reading it the next day that I must have been asleep while I wrote it .

Well I should be getting my O2 to use when I sleep today sometime. Im really looking forward to it to see how I feel the next morning. You know maybe that is why I always feel better in the hospital. Lol

Or could be the answer to why all my life I have felt tired , Most of my doing so many things is just to stay awake and because I thought I was just a lazy person for real.

I remember asking doctors for years and years why I was so tired all the time. They would just shrug their shoulders and do nothing. DARN no telling what I could have done and accomplished if I had been getting good O2 to the brain all this time. Lol

 

We finally got the back of the rental house all cleaned up I think and as soon as we get our truck back we are taking another load of metals to the dump. Old freezer, water heater old lawnmower etc etc. hope we get it all this time.

 

Worked on the surrounding of my pond today . I want it to be on the back side against the house like the side of a hill with pockets of dirt in between the rocks. You know it takes a lot of planning to make it look natural lol isnt that weird, I guess because we are trying to copy God?

 

Its official now, im an old fart complete with O2 in the bedroom , Im suppose to call the Electric co.  and tell them so they will know , I do have a back up tank if the elect turns off the concentrator. OH well I sure hope this keeps me from waking up every morning with a headache and feeling like I have no energy.

If this really works, makes you want to go hit all those other doctors over the head with something. I have been telling doctors for years that I was tired, and sleepy all the time.

They always looked at me and shrug their shoulders like I was dingy. So naturally I though everyone felt this way., really I did, and I always wondered how some people act like they were so full of energy, so I have forced myself to work and keep up with everyone else, and then collapsing. Just isnt fair….so if you feel tired all the time and always sleepy go insist that they run a sleep study on you.

Im anxious to see how I feel in the morning.

 

Been picking flower seeds most of the day. Have several trays of them drying in the greenhouse. So will be deviding them up for some people soon.

 

I really do love this weather don’t you all? it is absolutely beautiful. And on top of that no need for the a/c….so hopefully a lower elect bill next month. the month that it was so hot , that is the one we are paying for now. What a bill …like taking out a mortage on something lol

 

Well Sheila had her surgery for the gallstones and Dr. H. took the gall bladder out and then found some adhesions around the area of her gastic bypass so he cleaned that up. Rachel said she did really good and should come home tomorrow.

So Sheila hello girl hope you are feeling better than you were.

 

 

LORI::::: so glad that you are feeling good. Should have know lol you have the best doctor , well I guess I shouldn’t say that because I guess I am partial huh? Since he was mine too. Lol

Keep up that walking , do at least 30 minutes every single day. That is what Dr. H says you need to do . every day not 3 days a week or 5 but every day.  You can do it and it sure will help the weight go off so much faster for you and you will be toned better.

Just keep increasing  how far you walk cause after while the amount you walk will go faster than 30 minutes. …any questions be sure and ask first and then do. Ok

 

 

SUGAR::::: hey everyone even if you aren’t going to get to go to the reunion please respond to Sugars questions for the game. Please. It will make it more fun for us to have lots of names and info.

 

Yeah im wanting to find out….about the lifestyle lift. They have an office in Springfield.

I ment to call today but forgot , got too involved with gathering seeds lol

 

Yeah Mikaila  already loves to shop too. And she is very sure of what she likes. She so far is a girly girl.

Loves ribbons and bows and pink everything ….she is quite the little princess.

 

I will email Steve and see what he can do ….how many would you say?

I know he got tickets for some at 10.00 a piece would that be too much???

 

What bedroom furniture did you decide on? The outfit that had the dresser that was too big? Oh yeah those two colors are really good together. Rich and sophisticated looking

 

 

 

DEBBIE  D:::: Well did Becky rally after you talked to me today? I hope it didn’t take too much out of her. I know it made me really tired like I had run for a long ways.

But after I rested for awhile I was ok again.

 

So how is your eye? Do you really think it is pink eye too ? it is contagious so sure might be. Or at least it has always been considered contagious. 

Tell her she got thru the worse part today will be a walk in the park.

What time is her appointment today.? Is she going home from there or is she spending the night again?

Im glad that she is spending the night tonigh with you since it zapped her so much.

 

 

ANGY:::::hey you know 15 dollars isnt a very good buy for a pound of protein powder ….i buy ON in 5 pound containers for 39,00 that sounds like a lot but not according to that you get at GNC. Of course I think most of their stuff is high.

 

What is wrong with your water? Your drinking water???

Are you feeling ok today? If it is your drinking water messed up did you drink any of it before you knew it was? That might be the chills and fever. Be careful.

 

Lol im going to tell you all something , about 4 days after surgery  I made Joe some bacon for breakfast and I love the stuff. I thought my mouth was going to slobber all over everything from just the smell so I took a piece put it in my mouth and chew and chew and cheded somemore then spit it out. lol gave me the taste and the chewing that I needed and didn’t hurt me either. If you do something like that tho do NOT swallow it please you will be so so sorry.

 

 

 

JEN::::: you worry me about being alone with a baby that age , I know he has to weight more than you are suppose to pick up doesn’t he. . each day brings you closer and closer to the day that things will start getting lots and lots better. The head hunger will be turned off even and will be like I am right now, having to make youself eat….if I could I just wouldn’t eat anything except drink the protein drinks and eat protein bars lol

Food is just not of an interest to me anymore. It is something I do to stay alive. Wow never thought I would hear myself say that.

I cook for my husband every night most nights. And it doesn’t bother me to cook him biscuits , and gravy along with his meals . sometimes I will say I remember that was so good tasting , I will get out my baby spoon that I keep handy and with me and taste and you know what ? it doesn’t taste nearly as good as I remember it tasting.

Hang in there and  KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE>…

 

 

 

VESTA::::: did Virgil ever decide if he was coming to the reunion? If Sheila gets to come could she share a room with you? There is one of the rooms that has I think 3 beds in it.

I know not if Virgil is coming but if not would that work? Let me know.

Oh yeah do you still have an outfit you saved from your biggest? If so bring it to the reunion ok? We will have a fashion show and tell. Lol

 

Thanks for the congrats on two years but the name is Janice Kay not Janet  lol

Ive heard that name more and more lately since my sister blabbed it all over the internet lol  sisters !!! sometimes lol

 

 

 

LOVE AND HUGS EVERYONE

GOD BLESS

 

 

 

 Wow, where is everyone?  Its almost 1pm and I'm the first to post?  Do I get a double  S.F. Lolli??   lol

Oh well I hadn't posted in a couple days and figured I better get on here and see whats going on.  From the looks of it, not to much  lol.  Its been a nice cloudy day here so far.  The last few days have been really nice,  we havnt run the AC in a couple dayz now, thats so niceee,  I just love having the windows open, esp in the living room cuz we have so many. 

Monday and today  Jan and I walked...2 MILES Yesterday I made it pretty good and at the end felt like I could prolly go another time around  lol  today tho, geeeze,  going up this  longgggggggg steep hill we started going up I thought I was gonna run outta steam  lol  We made tho, w00t w00t  lol  I'll tell ya what,  you go walking with Jan and she'll make sure ya get a really good work out lol  I know I wouldnt be pushing myself so much if it wasnt for Jan's encouragement,  I am so thankful for it!!   Im pretty sore today but it's a good sore and I really feel good that  we've accomplished 2 miles but not only 2 miles, its the hill that we walk up, thats an accomplishment in itself.

Today I'm trying to keep my legs up a bit, they been swelling a lil,  I go back to the doc's on Sept 2nd so hopefully if they are still swelling he'll order some tests to see why. 

Well I hope everyone is having a good day,  been praying for all those that had surgery,  I know its been tough on some of ya but you wont regret having this surgery when ya get on that scale and you've lost, thats for sure. 

Have a great day!!

Andy

I know there isnt anyone on the board. it is as dead as can be. I think a lot of the newbies went back to their doctors today. that could be some of it. and the others who knows. I know Sheila is suppose to be sent home today and i think Sugar is helping her daughter ...and dont know about Janet, i tried to email her and the email came back... maybe she is trying to tell us something lol .
That hill is something you should be really proud of , walking up it. you are doing excellent. wel shaved off almost 5 minutes off our speed yesterday ....so wont be long before it is easy to do.
Rest and keep legs elevated and will be after you in the morning early. lol

Good morning Jan and board...
yes Virgil will be coming with me.
I guess all newbies are doing better......
news is short today..lol...here too....vesta

good morning to you too Vesta, tell Virgil hi for us ....good man.
we dont have much news either to be exact. ....finished up the pond in front of the house. still working on the rocks and trying to get them just right.

Well I finally realized why I was feeling so bad after I eat - it's because of the carbs I have been eating trying to gain some weight.  It's kind of like the dumping syndrome except I don't end up in the bathroom.  I just have to lie down and curl up and sleep it off.  It was explained to me its as though I was having a hypoglycemic reaction.  So I was very good today and having a meat packed chef salad for supper.  I just made a bad choice last night with about 2 oz of KFC chicken and 2 oz of mashed potatoes & gravy - it sure opened my eyes up about 30 minutes after eating!

Found a new love for my salad - feta cheese.  I used to turn my nose up at it but I got adventurous the other day and put some on my little salad and I love it with my light italian dressing!  That will teach me to turn up my nose at differant things!

Did not go to KC last weekend as the new mama was ill and we did not think it was a good idea to have a house full of company  to desend upon them.  My older sis came up here Sunday afternoon then she left this am to visit her dd in springfield then she will go on home to little rock.  We loaded her down with veggies from the garden.  I always feel so good after a visit with her especially since it was almost a 1 on 1 visit - no grandkids or even our kids asking for attention from us.  just us and dad.

You all take care and remember we learn from our mistakes!

oh wow that is a hard lesson to learn isnt it. I cant get enough calories in so i thought ok i will eat some simple carbs . wrong. cant do that for sure either. Im like you it conks me out . Sugar doesnt do it like other things do. like potatoes or spag. .no good to mice or man like that.

Yep lots of things that we use to not like are great now. for me that is yogurt. i use to hate the stuff now i love it. it is like my desert that i crave now. i do admit to putting a bit of splenda in it but it is sooooooo good to me now.
glad you got to visit with sister. always a good thing to do isnt it?especially if it is quite and you get to really talk and visit.

Are you going to get to come to the reunion this year? it is Sept 12 and 13th?

Hi Jan and OH Peeps~

For some reason, I cant get on the internet at home. I am using the computer in the office at the motel so I can check on everyone.

Ive been thinking about Angy, Sheila and Bec alot today and praying for them!!!! Hope they are all doing better. Also-I am so excited for Dennis-Brendas hubby-that he is going to be getting his surgery after all! I will be so happy when his diabetes is under control and he isnt sick!

I can tell you, I have been on the couch alot, doing ice and heat, ice and heat. Nothing is working and I am ready to scream!! I DO plan on being at group on Monday. Megan is going to drive-and she is getting her books from MSSU during the day. I was going to ride with Nutti-maybe she can meet Renee in Monett and ride with her or them ride with her. I know she gets lost in Springfield (as I did last time-missing my exit!!) so, maybe they can work that out. I am so excited to see Nutti again and to give Ms. Renee a huge hug-she is so wonderful and has helped me through a lot of "gunk" I have gone through with Stephanie and different things. She is a wonderful lady and I love her dearly.

I have a bag of stuff to take for the clothing exchange. I am excited to maybe find some things that fit me too!!

I got a text from Sheila-they took out her gallbladder and she also had a bowel obstruction and a lot of scar tissue. Please keep her in prayer. As well as Bec and Angy and Lori-heck-we have so many newbies-I know I am forgetting some names-PLEASE dont take that personally-

I am getting ready to go home. I have to stop at the store and get some things first-coffee is on sale this week for 5.57, so I am going to buy 2 of them-and we need bread, butter, and bread. I am making speghetti for dinner. Unless I change my mind-LOL...Will see. I am craving chicken. I make this wonderful chicken-boneless, skinless strips, and I wrap them in tin foil with marinade-and bake it-YUMMY......I LOVE having it with salad. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy. It can be any kind of marinade-I use several different ones.

~~~GUESS WHAT????? My scale started moving again-for about 5 months I have been sitting between 179-183...bouncing back and forth-well, as of today, I am weighing in at 175!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOO and guess WHY-believe it or not-because I am eating more. That is such a weird concept=eating more-to lose weight???? Who wouldve thought it? I have been making myself eat. Its hard to do when you dont feel hungry and I truly dont get hungry too often. I can probably count on both hands how many times I have been hungry since having surgery a year and a half ago-

Well guys, I have to wrap this up and get out of here. I will be back tomorrow if all goes well-but I gotta get....grocery store and then I have to get home and get some chores done that I havent had a chance to do yet due to my hurting. Feel like the house is falling apart. I hate feeling like I am neglecting my household duties. Our pool, I believe-IF it doesnt warm up again-we wont be able to get back in it-since its not heated-we have to rely on sunshine and warm weather to do it-and it sure hasnt been hot enough yet, for about a week now we havent been in it and I MISS MY POOL TIME!!!

I hope everyone is doing good-as always, I pray for all of you!!! Janet

Hi sweetie Janet, i know your internet must be messed up i send you emails and they get returned. did you pay your bill?lol just kidding.
Isnt Thursday your day for the hospital thing.? will you have to stay overnight? hope all goes well and it stops a lot of your pain . I use to have endometiosis and would have times that i thought i was going to die but i let stuff go way too long and had tumor and tumors and had to do a complete histy on me. but i felt so much better after all of that was out. Gosh i didnt feel like the same person any more.

I know what you mean about eating and the scales....i am pushing myself to get in at least 1000 calories a day . they say i need to get in at least 1200 but man im pusing it to get in a 1000. my protein and water are good but i just needed more calories. and then im walking too . i have been losing a few tenths of pounds here and there. but they are all going down . so i am happy. yeah is a weird concept to eat foods to lose weight lol ...only with wls.

you all need to get you a solar cover to put over it at night and hold the heat in and then will help it heat up in the day time....i know they are pretty pricy but would mean that you could use the pool longer in the year. .

Im doing the whats happening post a little different from now on. hope everyone likes it like this.

Hi Jan and All,
Jan this is in response to my question about the V8 Juice.
 I emailed my dietitician about eating tomatoes on my salad and she said she wouldn't advise it until 9 - 12 weeks because of the skin and acid. She didn't answer me about the V8 juice. Maybe it is for the same reason,
I just have to find something else to drink beside juice and water. I normally don't like V8 but I took a little sip last night and it was delicious. Isn't it weird that everything I wouldn't eat before surgery I like now...
Can't  wait until my class this thursday because I have lots of questions this time..lol....

I am trying to walk some and I am going out to Walmart and walking all around the store. I wore my grandson out the other day.lol haven't done that for awhile. My knees feel so much better. I can't believe they don't hurt that much anymore. I even got down on the floor the other day just to see if I could..I made sure I was in between something so I would have help getting up if I needed it. I couldn't kneel long but I did get up by myself...isn't that something to get excited about..my back still hurts me some but not near as bad as before, I can stand up more than 5 minutes at a time...

Still can't stand the smell of protein powder so I just use the unflavored in 3 oz water and add just a touch of crystal lite powder in it and drink it down in about 10 - 15 minutes. 21 gr protein. I drink 3 of those a day for right now..I have been getting pretty much all my fluids in so that is good.

It was funny about you chewing something and spitting it out..I did that to with a little bit of tomato. I have wanted a tomato so bad and my daughter cut up a bowl of them to eat herself and I just took a little bit and that was the best darn tomato..thats why I emailed the diet. when I saw that I could have lettuce.

Hope everyone is doing and feeling better today.
.
glad Bec has her test done now, that should be a relief.
Bec the long haired blonde  is my oldest daughter Tina..I am really surprised you would remember Briana..she couldn't have been very old going to church with mom...

Thoughts are with Sheila as she recovers from her surgery..
I just can't remember everyone but I think and pray for those that need it...

Have a good day everyone...
