Today is TWO YEARS for me. What a difference it has made in my life. I defiantly am not the same person and never will be again. Best thing I ever did.
Glad to hear our newbies are ok now. Sorry to hear they had some trouble.
I am still thinking about a face lift but haven't done anything about it yet. I guess I am a little gun shy but I am still wanting one. Maybe I will call tomorrow.
Enjoyed the great weather today ,hope it lasts but I will not expect it to. Farmers almanac says snow around the 20th. Humm.......

Jo i know what you mean about everytime they call and holding your breath....especially if it is later than normal when most people call. but after staying with her for 4 days i know that she is up at all times during the night. but it is no wonder her boyfriend snores and talks all night lots of nights. I told her it was no wonder that she doesnt sleep...lol
I think the difference in cost lets me take two of the vits a day and still be cheaper than most others i have seen.....besides if you order two bottles you usually always get 3 free so that makes them lots cheaper. lol
like your idea to try and get the calcium into a shake let me know if it works ok?
will keep praying for your son and keep my Michele in your prayers too ok....

Jan, that is wonderful that your daughter is doing so well as well as her BF. I've never been one to go to garage sales, figured I had enough junk of my own. Sounds like she knows what she's doing. I do go to thrift stores for clothing and find great deals. It doesn't matter if something is used. However, I would never buy undies at the thrift store.
I started out with a jacket but took it off. It's supposed to get to 73 today. Sure wi**** would rain.
Max is picking Greg up today and he will stay until Wednesday. He has an appointment with his attorney Wednesday morning. He and Max have a great time together. They both love sports so there's a lot of sports talk going on. I still hold my breath everytime he calls. There's still that fear he will drink again. I thought he had been given the ok to have the breathalyzer put in his car, but the letter he got said he would have to have it once the year was up for another year. Hopefully, he can get it put on now so he can get a job.
I ordered Bariactric vitamins because I didn't know if the Puritan brand was good for me. I had sent the info to the dietician and she took several weeks to get back with me. She said they're fine but I need to take 2/day. Anyway, Bariactric Advantage sent me a huge jug of calcium instead of the vitamins. They said keep them and they sent me the vitamins. The calcium is in lozenge form and they are just horrid. I was hoping I could use them. Although they were free I hate to throw them away. I'm going to put them in with a shake.
Better get busy.

well we are home from Ark...beautiful drive down 21 ....have any of you ever been to Ponca where the Elk are? that is one beautiful valley isnt it? the leaves are all at their peak color down there and they have so many more red, oranges and yellows than we do in the woods. it is so so pretty.
I guess they are the hardwood maples. we have lots of maples but they are the softwoods or that is what i have been told. I know the maple trees i have in my yard arent a pretty color , they are just tan sort of.
Well lots of work to do this morning , I usually leave the elephant ears in the ground and cover them with straw but they have multiplied to the point of needing to be thinned again. so i am digging them up this morning before i go to work because of the heavy frost we had while we were gone. then tomorrow i will have to lay them out and get them all dried out so i can store them for the winter or replant them and get straw over them one or the other.
Also tomorrow since i will be off i need to get other plants cut back and covered and a lot of stuff pulled up out of the gardens too. busy busy day today and tomorrow and probably the next day too.
need to do some transplanting now too. then have to get the fruit trees ready for winter. need to spray then with this oily stuff to protect them...forget what it is called lol .
we really had a great time at Micheles on our visit. was great....We ran around and did normal mother and daughter things. She had me all sorts of little gifts when i got there. so cute.
She even had me some of my favorite protein bars stocked up ....didnt think she had noticed what kinds i ate.
Their house is really really nice....a ranch style 3 bed 2 bath , large kit, dinning room and living room all open to each other. and a nice 2 car garage. anyway she has it decorated so very very nice. with beautiful furniture she got all from garage sales. lol no joke that is her new passion , garage sales lol
she has some of the cutest clothes and shoes. brand new stuff that she has gotten at garage sales, and her furniture isnt wore out junk but really nice stuff. the bedroom suite in her guest bedroom is solid cherry ,colonial style...beautiful not a scratch on it either. then her bedroom suite is big oak four poster , i told her i have never seen stuff like that at garage sales and she said you just have to be patient...and look....and go to the best areas lol ...anyway she loves doing it and it sure doesnt look like garage sale stuff. She appears happy and content. that is all any mother can ask for her child.
Her boyfriend seems the same. They prayed at every meal, and early in the morning before we would go out garage saling and then again at night before we would get ready for bed. Sort of took me by surprise but loved it.....Thank you Jesus.
well guess i better get busy this morning and get out there in the cold and start digging...dont want those elephant ears to ruin. they cost too much to replace and the amount of them i have it surely does.
Heard from Lisa about her dad and his surgery....he had a little bit of a rough time but i think is comimg out of it now. he was in ICU for a day or two but is back on the reg floor ....they were hopping he might get to come home today i think.....
love and hugs.

Jo~I think you're right about the hospitals sedating your son, sometimes that's what they do best. I hope he has success this time, and maybe he and his GF can work on their addictions together, shopping and drinking sugary drinks may be legal, but the addiction is still hard to fight.
I come to KC, in fact I was there this week end. My DD lives in Lawson Missouri. After I get back on the road maybe we can hook up. Would love to meet you and the others that live in the KC area.

Topic: RE: Where is veryone who used to post to MO site.
Where have you been? 
I check the MO board almost daily but don't always post because I really don't have anything to say that would interest anyone. There are several we've not heard from that were posting a lot last year.
For awhile I was looking at and posting on the RNY board and a couple other boards, but sometimes people could be so nasty if they didn't agree with the post so I no longer look at those boards. This MO board has the nicest people. We may not always agree but there's no bashing.
Jan is quite the busy lady with her yardwork and now working outside the home. Some are substitute teachers so probably don't have access to the Internet during the day and too tired in the evening to get on. I'm 2 1/2 years out and feel like I know what I'm doing. I'm working on losing the last 20 lbs. No issues or problems from my surgery.
Tell us how you're doing and come back often. Maybe we can build up the MO board again.

I was self pay, don't get me started on that problem. I was not a candidate for the RNY because of my High BMI >74 starting now 70 (lost 23 pounds pre op) My co morbidities kept me in the USA and Dr Scott's reputation kept me in St Louis. I thought I might be a "trouble " patient. I have only had two surgeries prior to this one and both had some complications. One really really bad complications. So Dr Scott checked EVERYTHING out pre op. I wonder what would have happened to me in MX for surgery, with the much longer Surgery needed and the complications. Just wondering..., Love Maja

Glad everything went well. You will be feeling better in no time. Watching the pounds melt away really is a great feeling. Take it slow and follow the rules.

Congrats!!! Sounds like Dr. Scott did another good job. Keep us posted on how the sleeve is working. My husband is thinking about it, but it will have to be self pay, which will probably mean out of country. He has diabetes and Rheumatoid Arthritis, so we don't quite know which way to go. I went RNY gastric bypass, but I am really mal-absorbing and of course can't take the meds he needs for arthritis. What to do what to do.
