Jo it is so encouraging to hear how well your son is doing. dont mean to be a wet blanket but , and hopefully it wont happen , just be prepared ....they can sometimes stumble a couple of times when they are going thru all of this stuff....we will pray that doesnt happen just dont want you to get so down if it does happen........i hope he doesnt have a bobble at all. and shows lots of really good signs for locating another AA meeting close to where his therapy groups are. ...I so wish my daughter could and would do all of this. she is still pickiling her brain ....it is just so so stupid.
lol no i dont think Zumba would be for you at all if you dont like latin music....but you are right if you go every day and just walk for at least 30 minutes ...you will find you are able to walk farther and farther as the days go by in that 30 minutes.
take care.

Topic: RE: Cancelled revision surgery
so sorry about getting your hopes up for that surgery but i know you werent looking forward to it at all. lllyou could just keep on with the liquid diet for the next two weeks , and use only high protein drinks for most of the liquids ...you will be surprised how much you will lose just with that. and it will help reset your pouch ....you already had a few days going on the liquid going so you should just keep on going on it. we are all here for you and for any help if you need it...we can laugh, cry, jump , clap and cyber hug anytime you need us ok ??lol/
You might want to check into a procedure called the Rose procedure , they do it i think at columbia, they go down your throat and make the stoma at the end of your pouch smaller by putting stitching around the top of it and sort of gathering it up ....makes it a lot smaller so the food you eat stays in the pouch a lot longer so you cant eat any more...and that way there is no unhooking or re hooking things up ...and no other incisions on the stomach either. if Dr. H was willing to do a revision im sure you would qualify for the Rose ...since Dr. H is very conservative about revisions, which is good i think.
any way you might call him and see if he thinks that might be something he thinks would work for you.

Topic: WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Good morning everyone....im in a better mood this morning since i dont have to go to work today . I sound lazy dont I ??? just getting very tired of working and not getting to do anything i like to do. After i get all the insurance paid for this year and taxes paid for the year i am going to quit i think ....i told Joe it is no longer fun ...at least quit till next year sometime or the other. Will see. I know i will have to take a long leave to be able to spend the winter in AZ anyway ...Hope to be able to leave like the next day or so after Christmas . would go before but since George is here and Michele. and they both enjoy Christmas last year so much with the family i want to do it again...George said it was so much fun and didnt know why his Grandma and Grandpa in Tex had never done it. He said it was like after he and Patrick got about 12 they just quit and would give them some money and say Merry Christmas and that was it.
Well it is suppose to be 100 again today the only thing that might make it feel less is the fact that it is suppose to be cloudy today....wi**** would rain...we could use more ...when it is so hot like it has been then it could rain at least every other day as far as the plants go. I have a beautiful second crop of green beans all blooming really good. hopefully i will get to put more of them up in the freezer with this crop...i have two rows of them planted ...the last ones i had only about 5 plants and we ate them a lot and gave some away to the neighbor and still put up some in the freezer. but would like lots more of them. Most people love green beans and they taste just about as good frozen as they do fresh...George said he always thought green beans tasted nasty until he ate my fresh ones , he said those things out of cans from stores dont taste nothing like that. lol by cooking fresh veggies for him i have gotten him to change his mind about veggies and is eating a lot of them ....so he isnt just eating meat and potatoes...and bread.
Well cant stay too long this morning , i need to get outside and get started on a couple of things before it gets too hot. I have meds to call into pharmacy for refills and need to call Joes doctor to get him sit up with more shots for his back. wish we could afford them for my back ....even with medicare and the insurance we have too it still leaves a couple of hundred we have to come up with for each shot every time. ..cant get ahead for falling behind lol
whoops i need to get the trash out to the curb this morning , they will be here in about 30 minutes. got to go love you all you all that posted yesterday i posted after you while ago....sorry i didnt get to it last night was just too too tired

Topic: Chicken Enchilada Recipe~by Janet
Jo,
Here's the recipe you requested! It is one of my families favorites! This makes a LOT so you might want to down size it for just you and Max. :)
Chicken Enchilada Recipe~by Janet
3-4# of chicken (if you use tenders OR boneless-you can use 3#-if bone in-more....) **Note, I always bake my chicken breast and put McCormick’s Fajita Seasoning on them before I bake them. Really does help the flavor!
2 pkgs Cream Cheese (can use low fat/no fat)
2 small cans of diced green chilies (haven’t been able to find one large....)
2 large cans of green enchilada sauce
1 pkg of flour tortilla shells-soft taco shell size (NOT big burrito size) 10-12 per pkg
1 pkg of your favorite cheese (depends on how much you like to use-8 oz-???-and can use fat free/low fat)
Different toppings-sour cream, guac, lettuce, salsa, onion, tomato-etc etc.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Cook and season chicken as you like (I bake mine). When done, let cool down, then shred and set aside. In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the 2 pkgs of cream cheese-stirring frequently, when melted, add the 2 cans of green chilies and stir well. Add the shredded chicken and stir until well blended. Remove from heat. In a cake pan, pour enough green enchilada sauce to coat the bottom of the cake pan. Take flour shell, and put chicken mixture in it length-wise. Fold up like a burrito and line them in the cake pan, SEAM SIDE DOWN. Do this until your mixture and/or shells are gone (I often times use cake pan and a smaller pan as well). You can make them as thin OR as full as you would like-but it just HAS to overlap a bit (so it stays together-and you don’t want the mixture coming out the ends, either). Once pan is full, pour the rest of the cans of green enchilada sauce over them-coating and covering all well. Cover with tin foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil, top with your favorite cheese, and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and looks a little bubbly. Remove from oven and top with favorite salad fixings. (I put them on the side-sour cream, lettuce, guacamole (sp?), salsa-you get the picture.....
**I put my cream cheese with the undrained chilis into the microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes and mix throughly...hate having to slow cook it on top of the stove.
The recipe says 1 package of tortillas but we used 3 today. I use the low fat ones and they are really good...kids don't know the difference.
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

Topic: RE: Cancelled revision surgery
Thanks for the update, I was planning on being there for you again. I am sorry it hasn't worked out for you. Are you on any meds? Just asking because I was gaining weight and having trouble eating constantly until I tried to go off my Lexapro but, had trouble so was placed on Celexa. Now I don't want to eat like I was and no more craving of carbs. I have been amazed. Just an idea.....

Debbie, so good to see you here. Haven't seen your posts for awhile.
Please do pray for Greg. He finishes his classes next Friday. He is anxious to get back to work. There have many obstacles but he's seems determined. My husband has become such a great stepfather. Greg is comfortable talking to Max and Max is always ready to do anything to help him and encourage him. They talk about things he's not going to talk to his mother about.
I have the Kindle and yes I love it as much as I thought I would. So far, I've only gotten free books from Amazon. They download within 60 seconds. I think to download to the Nook you have to use a computer. It's so handy to carry in my purse. I still get books at the library but the Kindle goes to work with me and I use it at lunch.
I'd like that recipe for Janet's Enchiladas.

Topic: Daily Bible Reading - Wednesday - August 11th
I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today’s Reading
Nehemiah 1:1-3:14
1 Corinthians 7:1-24
Psalm 31:19-24
Proverbs 21:4
Daily Devotional
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves"
(Romans 12:10, NIV)
What are you devoted to in your life? Being devoted to something is simply being loyal by giving of your time, affection and resources. Many people today are devoted to certain restaurants, television programs and even their cell phones! There's nothing wrong with any of that, but we have to examine our own hearts and see if we are being devoted to the people God has placed in our lives. Are we honoring others above ourselves? The world's system says to "look out for number one—yourself," but God's system says "look out for others, and I will look out for you."
Today, as you examine your own heart and life, ask the Lord to show you ways that you can honor others. One way is by simply being faithful to your word. Be a person of integrity and honor. As you live your life devoted to one another and honoring others, you are actually honoring God. He will repay you for your kindness and reward you in this life and in eternity!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, teach me to be a person of honor. Teach me to be devoted to others the way You desire. Fill me with Your love which is all that matters in eternity. I bless You and thank You for Your goodness. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Topic: RE: Cancelled revision surgery
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Maybe do that 5 day pouch test thing.Or just do the protien shakes like I would of for the 2weeks. And get back on a regular exercise plan.
My journey to live life to the fullest!!!
Topic: RE: Cancelled revision surgery
I don't blame you for cancelling with those risk factors and for a 30 lbs. weight loss.
Maybe doing the protein drinks for a few days will de-carb you and help you get on tract with a good food plan.
Good luck to you.
