What's Happening Monday

Hello Everyone;

I know I am not Jan but, I will give it a try.

Had DGD last two weeks. She went home last night so this is my day to just rest and catch up on everything I let go to visit with her.

Tomorrow, my brother n law is having a triple bypass so, will spend the day at the hospital with family. Please pray for him.

My life isn't as busy as Jan's so you will all have to chime in a tell us what you did.

Jan, missed you this morning.

Hugs;

Hi Everyone!

Spent most of the weekend working in the garden and mowing.  It's almost been 2 years since I had surgery and I look back and there is no way I could do all the things I am able to do if I hadn't had the surgery... 

Has anyone used the new "Off Clip On Mosquito Repellant"?  I have been attacked by the pests and need to do something as my insect repellant I was using did not work.   I had to take some Benadryl last night to sleep and of course I feel sluggish today.

Going to make some individual chicken pot pies for supper to use up left over chicken and some veggies. 

It's raining here again.  2 days dry now here we go again just when I need to pick my bush cherries.  The birds got to my big cherry trees this year before I could pick them.  It seems like I can only get them every other year...  Ok - Done whinning.

 

You all have a great day!

Sandy

Good afternoon to all!!  What a busy morning I had.  Too busy to get on my personal emails and message board. 

We had more rain during the night and gully washer mid morning.  It was sunny for awhile but supposed to dump more rain this afternoon and in the morning then no rain and temps in the 90s. Ugh....probably a lot of humidity too.

Good for you getting the swimsuit and getting out for some sun.  I bought one off Ebay for $3 for water aerobics then they changed the class time so it's not convenient for me.  At $3 I haven't lost much.  If we ever go on vacation I will get in the pool now where a few years ago I wouldn't.

I need to track my food intake just to be sure I'm getting in the required calories and protein.  I'm sure I get enough protein but sometimes carbs sneak in there and I do need to watch them.

In yesterday's post I mentioned vitamins and Jan responded saying Walmart sells some that are ok for us WLS people.  My dietician told me take only the bariactric vitamins but I need to look into the W-M brand.  I do spend a lot on vitamins.  I get calcium at W-M or Walgreens but don't ike that monster tablet.  I got calcium chews from Bariactric Advantage but they are kind of pricey.

I really need to get busy....again.

Sounds like everyone is having a great day!  Its so hot and humid already.  I've already been to the office and now home getting ready for our float trip with some friends this weekend.  Its at Dawt Mill.  I have never been there, we rented a cabin on the river.  Sounds like fun, its a 7 mile float.  My goal is to stay upright in the canoe.  For some reason my husband has trouble doing that.  Could be all the beer but I'm just saying LOL.  I have a house closing on Friday and then we are leaving.  I'm so ready to get away for a few days.  Our son turns 19 on the 20th, I told him for his birthday we were going to leave. HAHA  He keeps asking when we will be back.  I hope there's no party plans going on.  I told him we would be back on Sunday am, which isn't true but maybe it will scare off the party goers lol.  Hope you all have a great day! Lou ;)

Good afternoon everyone. Again it has been a while since I have posted on here. I am not the best at doing that. But thought I would try to catch up on everyone and everything.

Lou, you are looking fabulous.

Actually all of you ladies (& gents) all have a lot to be proud of. The weight that you all have lost is amazing.

Tomorrow I am at my 3 mos anniversary. I cant hardly believe it. Sometimes it seems like forever ago and then it feels like yesterday. We went camping this past weekend with some friends I havent seen since last Thanksgiving. The first words out of her mouth were, YOU NEED TO BUY NEW CLOTHES. I laughed. I am having a hard time buying anything. Luckily I have some clothes others have given me, but still not quite into wearing some of them yet. I am pathetic. I have kept wearing some of my pants because they are unable to fall off of me. They look awful I am sure and if someone gave them a good tug they would come right off. But I still wear them.

We took the kids on go carts this past weekend. I had never been on a go cart, never really wanted too. I saw how tiny the seating area was and really didnt want to go and embarass myself and my kids. But hubby insisted said I would fit no problem and to get on the ride. So I did, and I did fit and I didnt have to adjust the seat belt out and best of all didnt need any help getting in or out of the cart. That was the absolute best feeling, I never thought I would be able to do stuff like that with my kids.

Barb- I hope your Brother in laws surgery goes well .

Susan - you are looking wonderful keep it up. By the way in case I had not told you in the past I think it is so wonderful that you and hubby are on this journey together.

Well I should sign off for now. You all take care and have a great rest of the day. Try to stay dry, I tried this AM and by the time I dropped the kids off, and got to work my pants were soaked from the hips down and my shoes squished when I walked. I am still cold and wet, 7.5 hours later.

Take care everyone!!!
