WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY ALREADY??

This is going to be pretty short this morning....i have a gillion and one things to do today or it seems like it anyway. I was so slow and week yesterday after having another one of those what evers... the last two times I have drank a strawberry smoothie protein drink I have gotten , will say sick for lack of a better word....i have drank those since I had surgery daily for at least 2 years now I only do them if I haven’t gotten in any protein other ways too. I have my protein coffee every morning now...and i use protein bars as a pick up during the day but a couple of times , one about a week ago and the other day be fore yesterday I had a busy day running and didn’t have anything to eat so I mixed up one and both times within about an hour I started getting hot , so hot I thought I would explode and sweaty , clammy, palpitations,  dizzy, confused, so weak that I couldn’t stand up and not able to form sentences right. Scared poor Joe half to death, well it did me too I guess. I am trying to figure up the total of stuff in them to see if something is really high . don’t know why all of a sudden it would start affecting me like that tho. I hope it is the sugar content in them...i haven’t had any trouble eating things that I shouldn’t and I have wished I did. So maybe  I have gotten sensitive to it ....i ask some people that have studied this a lot and they said that yes your body can change over time. Well enough of that. What are you all planning on for the day?   Renee what a good surprise to see you online....wow what an exciting time for you right now , a wedding and getting to meet your new grandson too ....do you think they may be wanting to come back here to live? what about his job out there ? I know you are anxious to get your hands on that sweet baby.   And congratulations on the weight loss wow ....you have done so good ....arent you glad that you had your RNY? I know I am I do so much now days that I meet myself coming and going. OH you will have to bring the kids to the meeting on the 27^th...we need to ohhhh and awaaa over Noah ...lol You didn’t say anything about Janet in your post , have you seen her lately? I have written her and have left messages but I haven’t heard anything from her....is there something wrong , is she mad at me? I really miss her... if you see her let her know that I love her and wish she would let me know what is going on now and then.   Oh my your truck is messed up again? that poor thing ....lol  that is aggravating when you don’t have your own transportation.....How are you and Larry getting along? Is that still good or what?     Jo congrats on your anniversary...that is neat getting to that one year mark isn’t it? lol yeah I guess most of us are cheap dates anymore. And I have found out that the stuff I really liked before surgery is the things that I really don’t like now. I think most of it is the grease...kfc is horrible to me now. Haven’t tried their grilled chicken...our kfc here in Forsyth doesn’t have it...said they didn’t have room for a grill. And bbq is another thing that I dearly loved and cant eat now unless I fix it myself. Because I make sure it isn’t greasy... Keep up the good work and get in some exercise that will help you get your weight off ,     Sandy you don’t have to warn us about whining and venting lol that is what we are here for. I know you and your other dog miss your baby you had to put down. Im sorry that had to happen... I have planted another row of green beans so I will have another fresh bunch the ones I had . hope they will come up and do ok...i have some other things started in the green house so I can sit them out around the first of August. My tomatoes are doing so great and taste wonderful and not a one has anysort of blemish on them at all. I used that spray on them and is great. I will see about building up some calcium in the soil this fall. My Zucchini hasn’t been producing like it is suppose to either. Big plants and lots of blooms but hardly any squash. Wonder why? That is suppose to be something that produces like crazy. I have frozen almost everything that I have gotten out of the garden. I will even freeze some of the tomatoes too. they are good for soups and stews and chilis frozen.   Andy and Susan hope you all get your internet on today....Susan im ready for you to take this back over. I am having a hard time finding time to do it already....so take it away girl.   Suppose to get hotter today, drink drink drink everyone... I had 120 oz yesterday and still felt like I was dehydrated , now how can that be???   Hope everything is good for everyone...and God bless all of you  

Jan,
   Had to pop in to say hello.  I mostly want to tell you that you better get your butt to the doctor with your symptoms that you are having.  At first I thought it may be low blood sugar, but you also could be having mini strokes and need to check with dr.  I do not want to hear that you had a stroke.    DO YOU HEAR ME?   Ok enough of my sermon.   Pease, Please Please make appt. Colette

I am already ahead of you got an appointment tomorrow.....more than likely she will send my for some sort of test ...she always does lol ....

 Big brother starts tonight. I get caught up in it  which is stupid I know.  I spend way to much time watching tv as it is. I have enjoyed watching it every time and I know I will get sucked in again.

Jan as you advise others not to let things go , you need to see the doctor to make sure its nothing serious.

I am going to try to be at the meeting on the 27th. I haven't been to a support meeting in a while and I think I need one. I see myself eating more and it worries me. I know in my head I am not eating that much if you count the calories but I also worry it will continue. I guess I am afraid I will stop losing or worse yet gain weight. I just need reinforcement.
It s really getting hot and there is a chance of severe storms tonight. I am glad I cut grass yesterday . Stay hydrated and cool and have a great day.

Hi everyone may I join in? I live in Bonne Terre (hour south of st louis) have a wonderful husband of 13 almost 14 years and 5 wonderful boys. I am currently working towards getting my suregery next year and so can't wait to be a normal size person. I have been overweight my whole life and know nothing different.  I have started my first of 2 six month failed weightloss attemps that need to be supervised. Still trying to get the rest of the info from my ins but they will only give it to my dr in details. I meet all the criteria except for the supervised weight loss attempts. I still am waiting to find out how much weight the ins wants me to lose during these and if there is anythiing else with these that I need to know. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Oh I am 35 and my children are 11, 10,7,2 and 1 .

Suzy

Welcome to the board Suzy! I am six years out and doing great. You can get a wealth of information and support here. Glad to have you.

Hugs
Barbara

Suzy, welcome!!  I'm a year and 2 days out and what a great thing I did for myself....RNY.  I had to do a 3 month diet and exercise program required by my insurance.  I didn't have to lose weight but I lost a few pounds.  If I could have lost weight I wouldn't have been having RNY. 

This is a really nice group and full of information.

I get caught up in BB too  but like i have said im a reality show junkie...i love them one and all even the stupid ones like (Im a Clebreityget me out of here. )lol that was a joke of a show. lol
really hope you get there on the 27th been awhile since you showed up....Lou is going to be leading the meetings for awhile. when she gets tired of it she will pass the wand to someone else,.lol...
i had an appointment for tomorrow but they called and canceled ....dont know why...but i have an appointment for Monday.  i know that these spells what ever they are leave me weak all the next day.

Hello Everyone,
 Looks like the weather is going to turn hot again, I love summer. I hope and pray it doesn't rain next Saturday, Tiff keeps saying it doesn't matter she will just get married in the rain, that's sweet and all but it would make things alot easier on the rest of us cooking and serving food if it didn't. LOL
 We got all the meat bought yesterday for the wedding, I had planned on just buying chicken but we decided to get like 40lbs of leg quarters, 2 huge roast, 2 hams, and then 2 steak's for Tiff and Chris. A close family friend is doing his famous ribs and then Fran is bring a huge tendor loin plus smoking all of the meat we bought yesterday. ( Jan please tell Joe to come eat lol)
 Poor Tiff is letting her nerves get the best of her, when we picked her up yesterday she hadn't slept in over 24 hours, I told her she needed to calm down and let people around her help out, she couldn't do everything alone, and she can't control everything that happens cause no matter how hard or how much planning a person does things don't always go as planned. But what do I know. When I talked to her this morning she said she slept good last night, so hopefully she's recharged.
 I should really be up cleaning and working around the house since the kids are coming in, and I think maybe Janet may be staying with me next Friday night also, plus I'm sure Larry will be here. No I'm not complaining at all, as a matter of fact I'M LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I love love love the whole group family things and the more the better. Shoot I would do it every week if I could. (I know I'm a nut job huh)

 Jan your right I can't wait to get my hands on Mr. Noah, I think I've waited way to long now as it is. LOL I got plans for that little man when he gets here.
Kala and I have already talked about coming to the meeting and as of right now we are. If we don't spend the day in Springfield and just come up for the meeting I'm thinking we may bring Peanut also that way you and Joe can see her, Kala is talking about taking her back with her this time ( I really hope she doesn't.)
 Larry and I are doing great, he is such a sweetheart. I'm so very happy and thankful we finally decided to move our friendship up to the next level. Sorry no wedding bells for us though. lol We've both been there and done that and don't see a point in screwing things up for us. I'm not saying marriage is a bad thing as a matter of fact it's great for some people just not for others. LOL (Next Subject PLEASE) LOL
 Please know that you guys are more than welcome to come Saturday, let Joe know there's going to be plenty of food and Tiff and alot of others will be fishing. Yes she put on the invitations to bring lawn chair and fishing pole. LOL only my kid lol
 I did get to see Janet for about 10 minutes yesterday and then talked to her on the phone this morning. She is doing ok and super busy, please say some prayers for her. I plan on talking to her this afternoon and seeing her this weekend (Mike has a race), so I will pass on your message.
 I was going to tell you to get yourself to the dr, but it looks like you are way ahead of me sooooooooo I hope it's nothing and you are good as new again soon. I'm thinking I need to go myself I've been having alot of chest pain here lately of course I was thinking (ok hoping) it was just panic attacks, but when I told Janet this morning about them she said it sounded more like gall bladder attacks. I know food is getting harder and harder to eat so that maybe it.
 Well I better get off here and see what I can get done.

I hope EVERYONE has a wonderful BLESSED day.

Love and Hugs
