WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY AGAIN?????

Such pretty weather we are having isnt it? Absolutely beautiful…

We don’t know what happened in court with Jason , Michele didn’t have to go because the charges were from the police not her. Anyway she didn’t have to go to court and she was thrilled about that.

We have no idea what happened since we saw his truck down here on Tuesday afternoon…didn’t see him but did see his truck….maybe he ask for a jury trial and said he couldn’t afford a lawyer. Who knows. What ever it is you can bet it is a lie…

He goes to court here in Taney county tomorrow the 9^th at the court house in Forsyth we don’t know what far but know that he goes. I may go up there in the morning and see if I can hear why? He was arrested on an old warrant. Don’t know how to find out. other than go up and sit in the court house. Lol

Hopefully his mother is up here from La. And is going back thrusday I think , maybe he will go back with her. Lets hope so anyway.

 

Had several texts from Janet today about the girls and their surgeries. Said theypass their leak test but both were having dry heaves ..hope they are doing better now. Maybe they need some water or something lol

Poor girls that isnt fun  hope the medical staff there gave them something for their nausea. Hopefully that will work for them.

When I had some nausea in the hospital they gave me meds in my IV and within a little  while  I felt really good.

 

We are waiting for the garage to fix the little truck again. he isnt charging us for it and he says he wont give it back till he knows for sure. So hopefully he will drive it about 60 or 70 miles first. Lol because we are going to. Before we drive it over to Michele again.

Bless her heart she is being so patient , of course I guess she cant be anything else. Lol

 

 

BARBARA  S:::: LOL  you bad bad girl. Yeah blame it all on the granddaughter , they are handy to have around for that aren’t they ???? lol

 

Hey maybe I could do some gardening for you and you could knit something for me lol

Would be a long way for me to come I do believe…

I hope the granddaughter loves the coat and im sure she will since her bestes grammy knit it for her out of love.

 

 

SHEILA:::::: so your wreck was a matter of  A ROCK AND ROLL  incident huh? Lol

Couldn’t resist that one.

Will be thinking about you and praying for you. Thanks for the good wishes on our trike trip…we wont be leaving until the 15^th and Sugar will be back on the 16^th lol

We will be back on the 19^th we had thought about being gone longer but doctors appointments and such have gotten in the way . Joe is scheduled for a MRI with Contrast in Springfield on the 20^th. And I have an appointment with the Oncologist/ hematologist on the 23^rd so no extended vacation for us this month. but as soon as Joe gets in this series of 3 shots and he sees the new neuro doc the first part of Nov, and , and and and….well you get the idea….

I sure hope the bone docs can come up with something for your pain tomorrow. Don’t know why they couldn’t give you stuff  in the e.r. to last.

 

Oh you know I have you on my list for seeds and bulbs….

Yours are being reserved. Lol

 

 

SUGAR::::: I think you are pretty special too. Just wish I could look as nice as you do. But even when I wear things other than jeans I still think I have them on lol now is that silly , the thing I missed more than anything when I was fat was Jeans..i love them always have and that is who I am I guess. Jeans and shirts don’t always have to be t-shirts can be sweat shirts or sweaters. And at least im wearing jewelry now with them…and pretty blouses.

That gas station sells sandwiches I think. But we are only a little bit , two more exits from the new shopping center. They now have a dress barn, a Maurices, bed bath and beyond. Kohls, book stores. Michaels, and getting more every day. …then across the street is Chilis I think it is and another place too.

So we could start meeting there at least.

 

Is there someone down around the school that you are thinking of that would be good? Maybe you need to do a little intervention stuff lol

 

 

SUZIE::::::                     Tell Lynette that she needs to take it really easy with foods for awhile , I know nothing about the sleeve that she has had but do know several girls that have had it. Hope she can educate us here some time soon. and tell her that she has to chew the cheese before she swallows. Lol

 

 

SHERR::::::: well when ever I went up there either on an emergency or when ever I would tell them im not leaving till you can figure this out and get me well.

I bet the two things are related , somehow, some way. Don’t know how but too much of a coincidence don’t you think???

Sweetie you are sort of like me, life hasn’t always been kind to you but that doesn’t mean that we cant be kind to others , does it?

Love you so take care.

 

 

BEV:::::: please make yourself stay active , don’t go getting depressed.  Hey I have a challenge for you>>>> you are upset that your not losing more even tho you are exercising all the time….and you are afraid that you will gain weight back if you eat more . but im here to tell you it aint so sweetie…I was doing the same thing. Now I don’t exercise as much as you I just walk but I have increased my calories to 1000 calories a day and I started losing tiny bits of weight ….but if you will increase your calorie count to 1200 and keep up your exercise I bet you will see a weight loss.

Your body has to have a certain amount of calories just to live and the last thing it will do is lose weight because of tiny amounts of food , it thinks it is starving and you are. That makes you depressed, tired and and not lose weight…Now the hard part is to get in the calories without it being fat or sweets ….if you are able to eat stuff with ground beef like chili  beans are protein too and also have quite a few calories in them….if you can stand the protein shakes made with milk and frozen fruit and a little splenda that adds some noticeable calories and is all great for you….if you cant stand regular milk go get some Lactaid milk   it is 100% lactose free. Ok? Please and I know that next Friday you will be on Janets post saying my stall is broken,,,now you have to keep this up and it isnt easy , nothing good ever is you know. You don’t have to eat fattening things. Eat protein , protein protein….ok? there are lots of soft meats that are full of protein. Do you like viennie sausages they are full of protein….canned chicken or tuna or ham are all high in protein. One can of the chichen the size of tuna can has 22 gram of protein and about 160 calories. So nibble on this stuff , eat this stuff and throw in a couple of shakes a day…make them real tastey,,,,add lots of frozen fruit make them thick and frosty like the dairy queen. Drink with a big fat straw ….and when you get done burb reall real big lol …ok am I on for this next week

 

 

DEB:::::::oh wow that is so neat I hope you got into see this doctor? She will be your pcp? That is so important to have a good doctor either real knowledable about the surgery we have had or is like mine knew nothing about it but wanted to learn. She has been in touch with Sedalia since I had my surgery. She is real careful with me too seems like.

I think the feeling you all are getting that you are saying is food stuck it really the new full feeling that we get . it is entirely different that what we had before, well who are we kidding here we probably never had the full feeling before lol

Especially if it is dense protein like meats it doesn’t take but about 2 or 3 bites to make you full. But you wait about an hour and try another 2 or 3 bites. Or drink a protein shake then . then another 2 hours and eat some more dense protein.

See the post I did to Bev up above ….it is all the truth. I don’t eat nothing like some of my friends do but I am eating 1000 calories a day at least and some days I have gotten in 1200 ….this we have to eat to lose.         We have too. …

 

 

            SHANNON:::::: DO     you think you went back to work too soon? bless your heart that is hard the first day back I know.

Oh I am so so glad that you heard from your daughter. That is wonderful , doesn’t seem like they stayed very long at your house did it? I know we build things up for so long and then when it is over seems so short.

I know how you feel about your baby so just know that things are going to be ok for her and they are where they are suppose to be now. …

Did you get your power nap in? sometimes just a 15 min one will restore doesn’t it?

 

 

Andrew is home…..yipppeee. and in a few days I will have my walking buddy back…it has been so easy to set appointments for early since he has been gone and not go walking. So now I have to get with it again. lol

 

 

 

LOVE AND HUGS

GOD BLESS

 

P.S…..I WANT TO THANK MY SECRET PAL FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL CARD THAT YOU SENT ME AND WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU MADE ME CRY WITH YOUR MESSAGE. Love you and love the card….and Sugar I know it wasn’t you that sent it lol so don’t try to claim it ok???

 

Hey Guys ~n~ Gals...
WOOOOO HOOOOO finally got my internet back!!... Kinda sad to have to deal with dial up after getting use to DSL but it's much better than not being able to get on at all....

Im almost all the way moved...I will be soooo glad to get it all said and done...And if I mention moving again...Someone please kick me in the butt!!! lol lol....WoW has it been some kinda work out getting moved and settled!!! Would have been a lil easier if we hadn't had to redo gas lines and work on water stuff at the same time we were moving...Then the only time Joe had to help was on the weekends and a few hours in the morns since he had to work....
But if all goes well we should be ALL done this weekend!! He has to move the shed and clean up the yard and we should be done done done!!!

Jan..AKA Flower Lady..lol lol..Please pray for my flowers....Sunday we spent 6 hours straight planting all my flower, trees and bushes....They are a lil limp looking, but seem to be doing ok...then Tues & Wed we got lots of rain so I am in hopes that help to boost them....Im in hopes we dont get much frost for a few week while they all take a hold....

Been a few weeks since Ive had much time at all to be online where I could check the board....Took a few minits to scan over the past few days before I posted...Looks like alots been going on....

Wanted to send a big ole HOWDY to all the newbies...
A Giant CONGRATS to all the peeps that'**** the loosers bench the past few weeks!!!!

Angie....Loved the ideal of the Secret Pals! And was pleased with whom I got...Looking forward to getting to know her better...And I think rotating after a few months will be cool...That way we will eventually have a chance to get to know more about all our peeps!!

Janet...I hope Megans doing better weth the nausea..
Christina's really having a time with hers...She's had to switch to suppositorys and hates it but it's helping a bit better than the pills did...If it lasts as long as Heathers did she has a several more months to go ....She found out today that she is aprox 7 weeks and is due May 13th...

Much love and thankfullness.

Andy

Andy
WELCOME HOME!!!! so glad ur feeling better n i will keep praying 4 ya

I've missed out on the secret pal thing!!!!!  Jan, I want one!  How do I go about doing it?  Please, please, please help me with that.  Anyway, I haven't been on here a while and I should be wacked with a wet noodle.  We are finally done with the house for now.  We do have the kids' room's to paint and with our tax return we will be fixing the back porch.  It is so nice having our new room and the kids love their rooms especially my daughter.  You all have a great day and God bless, Penni

Hey sis, it could have been me! YOU really don't know for sure! lol..

This is alot of fun, I had forgot how much fun you can have with secret pal stuff...Im on an errand today for mine and am anxious to find what Im looking for...

Hey maybe Jason will leave the country and shellybean wont have to ever worry about him again...that would be great news for her wouldnt it?

Well I cant wait for tomorrow! We will take off in the morning I guess unless I can convince Rick to leave tonight...lol~

I think our first stop for overnight will be at Patty's settlement over in Kentucky at the land between the lakes. We always love to stop there and eat...well I used to love it, probably wont be as good to me as it used to be...although I still love good food.

For those of you praying for my friend and her daughter, good news, the daughter was very responsive to them yesterday evening when they went for the first allowed visit...so maybe she can get some counseling this time that will help. Her last episode of this the DR said he had cured her???What kind of statement is that from a Psycholigist???He was mad cause my friend wanted her to follow thru with some therapy...he said she didnt need it...dumb man! Anyway, she ended up going somewhere else this time and they seem to want to help her and work with her. Pray that maybe even the whole family can get some counseling. Thanks for what youve carried to the KING in thier place.

Im so glad the girls leak tests went well but hate to hear about thier nausea...didnt have that while in the hospital except when they made me drink the stuff! GAG!!! Cant wait for them to be home and getting on with the good life!

Okay sis, so when do we want to meet? You know we will have to set a date and stick with it and not let anything intervere...cause life will if we let it! But us meeting once a month at a shopping area could get very expensive! lol

No, I dont know anyone down by the school but I would think there is someone down there that would be interested if they only knew about it..lol!

Andy it is great to see you post again! WHEW! we were all concerned for you and what you were going thru.

Shiela, sorry for my sisters pun about the "ROCK & ROLL" but that was kinda funny! (Dont tell her tho) Really praying for a quick and full recovery for you and I am saving the wallpaper for you. Dont know when I can get it to you. It would cost a small fortune to send it via mail I think. Do you want me to check? How much did I tell you I would take for it? I dont remember now...lol! But I dont suppose you will be hanging it anytime soon anyway unless you can get someone to come do it for you...maybe you could play the sympathy card!!!

Bev, depression is such a bummer! Been there and done that and I hope and pray I never have to be there again, but will pray that the good LORD gives you brighter days ahead. I know sometimes that big black hole seems to swallow us up! Do like sis says and stay active, even just walking can help...any exercise keeps the endorphines excited and makes the brain happy. I do beleive that after this surgery our lives become a very fine tuned balancing act of diet, plenty of fluids, exercise and sharing with others that have been there and done that...so stay in touch and try to do what you can, we are here for you!!!

Gotta go get ready for my day at the gym ....I feel like I not only work my body while there but my heart and spirit too! Being a Christian, I know that my body is a temple for where my God resides with in me and I need to and am responsible for what condition that temple is in...I spent years abusing it and now is my chance to redeem myself and care for it the best I can...

My the Lord of second, third and fourth chances give you yours today!

 

Good Morning Jan and everyone.
 Yes it is beautiful weather but my oh my it's cold. I'll never survive the winter at this rate. I freeze all the time.LOL
 The stuck feeling i have isn'tcoming from meats or anything like that, I can not eat anything but soup.
 This morning when i woke up i felt like i had ate a big meal, Oscar feels like that every morning. I wait about an hour then take all my vit and other meds with about 10ozs of nectar protein drink, THen i don't eat again till supper and it's always soup. I have tried little bites of other stuff it's all a no go. So instead of feeling like crap i just do soup. IO am starting to get in more protein now that i am doing the nectar, Because it is at least drinkable ,if i put it in the freezer let it get kinda slushy LOL.I do sip on protein drinks all day.
I did get an appt with Dr Ciesemier, I called yesterday and she does accept medicade, WEEEEEEEEE, I was so excited, I go se her the 22nd.I told them i had gastric bypass and needed a dr that knew something cuz the one i have dosen't have a clue.So hopefully it will all work out with her,She has had the bypass herself so hopefully i'll be in good hands.
 I go the 16th to the pain clinic for a consult,Finally! hope they'll be able to figure out away to stop this pain or at least get it under control so it isn't 24 hr a day pain and it is like an 7-8 on the pain scale most of the time.
My scales have stopped moving again ,matter of fact i've gained , Someone please tell me how that is possible,When i eat nothing, It is all so confuseing and irritating.I am starting to feel like i am gonna be a failure at this or it wasn't done right. 
 I called the Y yesterday in Brookfield closest one to me and they won't do monthy membership they want it yearly. $247.00 .So that ws outta the question, So i calle CHillicothe they do monthy !st monthto start is $41.00 then $21.00 a month, Bu****er arobics is extra $25.00 for 24 sessions. Ya would think they would be included in the membership.
Maybe Santa will be nice and get me a membership LOL.
 Well i better get busy, gotta run to post office ship off these protein containers,then gotta go to wally world get some chaser christmas lights before they are sold out.The chasers go fast.Then i have a 30 gal bag of baby clothes to fold and box up for Janet that i got yesterday.
 Prayers for all who need them i can never remember everyone and their needs but God knows them all so i leave it to him. Hope everyone has a great day,
  Love and {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} Deb.

What size clothes was sugar needing for her grand daughter? Was it her grand daughter? See I tell ya i'm senile.

You will love Dr. Ceisemier. She is great! Tell her that Tammy VanGilder says Hi!!! Take Care and God Bless,Tammy V.

Deb;

I would say your weight stall could be one of two things. First, your body feels as if it is starving and it will not release any weight. You need to eat more protein, even if it is thined out. Try puree food. Run something in the blender until you can get it down. I had to do this for about 3 months. I took what ever was for dinner and ran it in my blender and then ate it. Not too bad if your a good cook.

Second, think back and see if you were at the weight your at for some time. Each time I had a stall, I could remember a time that I was at that weight for maybe a year or more. Your body is so confused that it gets to a weight where it remembers and says : hey, maybe this is where I shoud be, and stops for a while".  I know sounds funny but, it was that way for me.

Hope this helps.

OMG had to laugh at the rock n roll thingy,,,and it hurt 2 laugh,,,wasnt funny a few days ago but now i can kinda laugh about it...even though i have NEVER  been in this kind of pain and cant stand being able to do NOTHING!!!!  when there is a 1000 things that need 2 be done and boxes 2 be unpacked....
