WHATS HAPPENING FOR SUNDAY
Beautiful Saturday, but it was cold this morning when we went for our walk. Andy wants to try and get the 19 pounds off by the end of the month, that may be cutting it close but I am pushing him to do 3 protein drinks a day and then other food too. So his calorie intake will be better. …sure is funny that the more I eat the more I lose of course I don’t lose pounds anymore just pieces of pounds lol . been going down like a tenth of a pound about ever other day. That isnt much but better than going the other way. So far I haven’t had any problems of gaining anything back, knock on wood. They say that most people start gaining some back between 2 and 3 years. I am keeping an eye on this possibility.
Don’t ever want to go back to that again.
We have the great grandbabies today, they just waved by to mama and daddy and the baby girl blew kisses to them…, Kim said that everyone says she always cries when she leaves her but doesn’t cry for long. She didn’t cry at all today. I am glad she didn’t. It is really upsetting to me when a baby cries and you cant get them to stop.
Anyway we have been having a good time with them . Brendan has a runny nose and running a little bit of temp . I gave him some pediatric tylenol we had here and kim brought him some other med in case he needed that.
He is watching Sponge Bob right now and Mikaela is taking a nap with Joe. Lol
Well having these two here today hasn’t been that bad really . they have minded well and just in general sweet babies. Lol
Gave them both bathes after supper , those little buggers sure got dirty today. Look like they had been rolling in the dirt , I guess the digging holes and sitting in the dirt most of the day was the cause of that. Once I looked at Mikaela and she was laying down in her hole she had dug…I ask her if that was a bed …cute. They tried to rake leaves and stuff with us too.
Joe and I worked on the entrance to the shade garden , the tunnel like entrance. Having to replace several of the posts after Ike went thru he sort of tore it up some , so now we are trying to repair it and make the structure better without tearing up the vines that are on it.
BARBARA S.:::::: Do you know how proud of you that all of us are???? Doing a 5K but not just one but two of them , and just think that a few years ago you sure couldn’t have done that …I know I couldn’t have. Doing one of those is something I am wanting to do too. I will feel like I have gotten somewhere. Since before surgery it was all I could do to walk from my house to the car. Yea!!!!!! Way to go girl….you rock as Peggy says…
PEGGY::::::you had us all worried about where you were? And all the time you were out having fun ?? we will have to give you 30 lashes with a wet noodle. Lol anyone remember that saying ?
So so sorry that you are not feeling well….seems like several people have been having tummy troubles.
Take care of yourself and get in to see the surgeon.
Im sure there are some that really like the actual working out thing. But im not one of them either. I do like the results from it and I love how good you feel afterwards but I hate the actural act of working out.
We will surely be happy to see you when you get down to
It is hot where you live? It has been really nice and cool down here I think? Well today it got up to 80 but to me that is nice not hot.
DEB:::::: if you felt better taking the extra b vitimans then you know your body better than anyone else you know. So keep taking them. It wont hurt you , B vits. Are water soluable and if you get to many of any of them you will just pee it out ok. So you cant get too much of any of them.
Lol I hope your hair doesn’t do like mine it is so curly that I can barely do anything with it. ..It was always curley but I lost some right after surgery and then when it came back it was so curley that I just have to let it be and try to keep it calmed down as much as possible.
Hair coloring , I get mine done every 2 months and haven’t stopped since I had surgery so don’t think it makes anydifference. Not enough for me to not have it done anyway.
I don’t think there are enough good words to give to you about the life and home you have given Nikkii. God will surely put some big diamonds in your crown when you get to heaven.
That is the most unforgiving and sweetest thing in the world to take her into your home and make her yours like you do. I know it certainly isnt her fault to how she came to be born but honestly I don’t think im that big of a woman ..You are special and I am proud to get to know you.
You know this post is what this is all about. You or anyone can tell us your life and know that we all still love you. So you can continue to use this site for as much venting or telling as you want. We give out love here. And a lot of us have things that happened in our life that caused us to be big and ate to satisfiy…don’t feel like you have to censor anything. There are a lot of us that can relate to a lot of your tellings too.
VESTA:::::: im not an expert on the B vits. Or any of them . I take two complete B Complex vits a day , plus a shot of B 12 every two weeks. I hope I am getting enough.
You know what I would do if I were you ? I would email Margie and ask them what is right. That way you will know what they say and what he said about the carbs too. I am pretty sure you count any and all of them but then maybe not, just the bad ones. So I would email I guess I basically just count the bad carbs cause if the good ones are good then you don’t have to lol
Hey that will be fun the volunteering… yes we are getting excited about our trip….hey advertise on Craigs list about wanting to trade the travel trailer for a gold wing trike…you sure might get some calls …
SHERR:::::: I don’t take the expensive one from Bariatric Advantage either, I get all of mine from www.pilgramspride.com they are so much cheaper and good vits too.
You buy like two and you get 3 free . and I had my cousin that works in a lab to test them and they are good vits.
Man that is the pits to get in debt like that , I know we have been there before and it isnt fun at all.
Oh on the test that was 7000.00 medicare will only allow so much of that to be charged so say they say they are only able to charge about 3000.00 so your 20 percent will be of that not of 7thousand. It is amazing to me that doctors and hospitals accept medicare or medicaide because they pay such a small amount on the bill and disallow them to charge you the rest of it. I guess they write off the rest of it at the end of the year
You don’t sound whinney so don’t worry about it. All of us have things we whine about at times. So welcome to the board. Lol. We love you and want you to be healthy , take care of yourself and get up there to take care of your body. It’s the only one you have you know.
You know like I told my daughter, I know it hurts to not have anyone but it is better to be alone than to be with someone that hurts you all the time.
TAMMY V:::::::we are so praying for you and that all of those pesky problems you are having will go away and be explained by something other than a bad heart. I know you have to be worried.
Have you been to any of the support meetings there in
I am very proud of you that you have realized what you are doing and get back with the program. It is very important , you CANT not do it. Will be keeping you in prayers for all of that. Maybe you will not have so much dizziness and all if you get backto takeing all you are suppose to .
Will also keep your dil in our prayers to be able to carry this baby to term ..and I hope you get your granddaughter you want.
BEC::::::::yea we are all glad to see our Bec back on the boards ….You be sure and tell your doctor about the horrible gas pains and that it is happening again every day…there might be something else to try that would help ….are you swallowing air when you drink your water every 15 minutes? I don’t know how you don’t do it but ---
You are losing wonderfully , enjoy all of those 3 pounds a day that is fantastic. Of course keep doing all you are doing and it will keep comeing off like that for quite a while. Im so happy for you . you will be getting your sass before long at that rate . lol you are doing so well , don’t know anyone that has done that well right out of the hospital.
Go go Bec…love you girl
So glad that you and your sister patched things up , nothing like a sister.
BEVERLY B:::::: lol you always think I do so much , not really , most of the time im thinking that im lazy for not getting this or that done but glad that it makes you think I am lol
I love going to garage sales but don’t really like going alone and for right now Im not allowed to drive up to Sugars to go with her by myself. So I haven’t been to many garage sales.
I love finding some thing great at them don’t you?
I hope you find a way to get in all your calcium…it is really important ..we have to have the stuff ….always will …
Keep up the good work you are doing and keep walking it is really good exercise for you.
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY

Yesterday was a garage sale day, I found some really good bargains! We wanted a chandaleir for our bedroom and couldn't find one cheap well,,,,I found one at a garage sale for $2.00
I love it when I find stuff like that. I also went back to this one garage sale late and they were giving everything away so I took a VCR and other stuff. Cool! Friday was scary. I put a load of laundry in the washer and took the kids to school. When I got back I went in to switch the laundry over and it was full of water and I couldn't get it to do anything. We thought we were going to have to get a used one or something. Matt called from work yesterday and said before we called anyone to check the plug in and see if it shorted out or something. Sure enough it shorted out and I plugged the washer into another plug in and it worked. That you Lord!
He knows that we can not afford another washer. Today my husband works so I have to get the kids up and go to church by ourselves I hate that. I like going to church as a family but I know how important it is for my kids if we are consistant. You all have a great Lord's day and God bless, Penni
It is sooo pretty out today.....to bad I will be inside cleaning. Not much more time left before surgery and I have a million things today, I want everything in order (like that's really going to happen LOL). It seems like I do something and then come back through and it's all undone.
I'm planning on having a girl's night next Sunday. I want my girl's with me and sharing in some much needed family time before surgery. It seems like Kala is so disconnected from us right now, and it's breaking my heart. I really miss our closeness.
Jan hehehe girl slow down we can't beat them all in one day. lol All I'm asking is that if we get busted for assault please let us do it in Barry County so we can be taken care of by people we know. But then again can't you just see the look on Kala's face when they drag us in. lmao I can hear her now. OMG!!! My momma and her thug friend's. LOL To Funny......
I'm so glad you are enjoying your grandbabies, and it sounds like they are good ones.
Bec you are such a doll thank you so much for offering to open your home to us. It means so much to me. I so hope everything falls in line so Janet and I will be able to. Thank You So Much.
I sure hope you get to feeling better soon, I hate hearing you are having so much pain. It sounds like you are doing so good other then that. I sure hope I do as good as you.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day.
Love and Hugs
Renee
If He bring's you to it.... He will bring you through it. 
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you and your support. I keep all of you in my heart and my prayers.

Extended Tummy Tuck with KU Residency Program
01/08/2010 ....Lost another 7 lbs with TT.
Hi Aunt Jan and OH Peeps~
I just wanted to come in and say hi~AND~to ask for prayer. MAN-ITS JUST BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER~Im so ready to go in the woods and bury myself!
Please pray that I feel better soon-I have so much coming up this next week and I HAVE To be better! HAVE TO! Im even going to the doctor tomorrow to get some antibiotics. I have bronchitis and, it just may be starting into pneumonia. Im so bummed out. This is what happened last year about this time-well, actually-over Holloween and then I ended up in the hospital with it! ARGH!!!
I did start meds a week ago when I thought it was just allergies-as the boys got the cough/cold too-but mine-the congestion is really bad and so on and so forth. I havent left my couch since Friday evening when we got home from family night. Its all I could do to drag myself out with the hubby and kids-BUT...I thought it was just from the steroids and lack of sleep. Well-Friday night I didnt sleep well again. I did NOT take the big dog pill to help-I just felt like I had so much other stuff in my system with the Mucinex and Robittusin and Steroids along with pain stuff...So I backed off the pain stuff and I couldnt sleep. Im sort of glad though, because for some reason-Jon woke up screaming bloody murder 3 different times. Well, actually, he didnt wake up at all-but he had HORRIBLE nightmares-It made me cry while I was in there trying to comfort him. The other day, I cant remember if I posted this or not-but we were on our way home and he told me that he couldnt tell me about his nightmares because he didnt want it to scare me and he knew it would-and no matter what I said-he still would NOT tell me. I told Mike to talk to him and see if he wouldnt share it with him. Poor little guy. So, some prayers for him would be appreciated too.
The boys were so good yesterday-they took naps too-while watching tv. Pretty lazy day here. I just didnt have the energy for anything. Between the cough and blowing my nose-I look AND feel like death warmed over. Mike took the boys last night to the track with him and thats where they are now. They seem to be doing well-cold/cough wise-but I am still medicating them. No kisses on the lips AND lost of Lysol being used here and hand sanitizer! All I know is that I THOUGHT it was Weds-BUT...Its Friday-I am suppose to go with Megan and Aaron to verify that my intuiton is correct and we are having a girl added to the brood! I dont want to miss this! It just makes me sick to my stomach to think I may miss that! Then-Renees surgery-and I want to be there for that. So, I HAVE to get better. Too much going on and I cant miss this stuff.
I missed Becs call yesterday and by the time I felt good enough to be on the phone-Mike was gone and had the working cell phone. Was going to call her today when they left-same deal. Im gonna lay down for a bit and hopefully when I get up and they are home-I will be able to call her.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say some prayers for Bec that her pain goes away. I do remember being like that-Not sure how long though without going through my book. It seems like a week or so-and thats not till Monday for her. I KNOW she is doing everything by the book so I just hope and pray that her pain goes away.....and she continues to recover quickly. We may be able to go and see her on Monday and I am extremely excited about that! I just love her so much!
Also-for our preops that are doing their liquid diets. Renee and Lou-for strength and peace of mind. What an emotional time this is anyway-then add the lack of food, headache and everything else-and its just a disaster! I remember that so well. I did it for 3 months. Yes, there were times I had a little salad or tuna, peanut butter-something protein...but not very often and like I said-3 months. They didnt MAKE me-BUT...for me to get my BMI down to qualify for the RNY surgery-I HAD to lose 35# and I didnt want the sleeve and then have to go back in for the RNY cause it just seemed like a hassle-so I opted to lose the weight first-and I did it! In record time too-its all worth it-I think for MOBAR pts-this is the WORST part of the process-and then post op for a couple of months-everyone deals with that tho-no matter where your surgery was!
I would also like to ask for prayer for my Megan. She is just struggling so bad. They have run some x-rays on her-and they said something about a cat scan or MRI-I cant remember-but she is worried about the baby-so she has a call into her OB doc. They are ordering a brace for her. Her hip locked the other day and she was just screaming in pain and I didnt know what to do to help her. I tried to message it-but not sure if it helped or hurt. I would trade places with her in a heartbeat if I could. The ortho told her that most likely-its genetic. She does NOT have good bones and joints-like me... Yeah-a little guilt there-AND-the weight doesnt help at all-its not so much the pregnancy-I think she has only gained 7#-BUT....the changes-and all-its hurting her bones. just pray that everything is okay and that her and the baby will be great. Thanks.
Well, I am getting off here. My butt hurts, my back hurts and my chest hurts (no doubt from the coughing and congestion) My hubby is at the store buying me the "sick" person stuff-the o.j, sf popsicles, pudding and ginger ale. Love that man!
I will respond to everyone individually when I am up to it. I am praying for everyone that needs it tho.....As always, your in my thoughts and prayers and I pray that your all healthy and happy!! Love, Janet
I had to take Momma and Dylan to Jonesboro today. Momma needed stuff from Sam's and she and I needed to find birthday presents for Dylan's 18th (10/10)
Mom and I both wore ourselves out. LOL
Thank you about the vitamins info, and more importantly the medicare info. I didn't realize the bill could get reduced before I have to pay my part. That is great news. When I went to drive off from mom's today, Daddy was outside and my truck made an un-Godly sound in reverse. Daddy says it sounds like my Universal Joint going out. ((((Shakes head)))) and since I will probably be going to Columbia soon this is very dishearting. I will have to take my truck into the alignment guy tomorrow, and have it fixed. That will also go on a credit card. Oh, well...like my grandmother used to say, "Blondie Grrl...they can't EAT ya!"....She was a very smart woman. LOL
I am really tired, but wanted to thank for all for "listening" to me.....some days, all I can do is shake my head. Ya know? :)
xoxo
