I Have Resurfaced AGAIN!!!

Can I just tell you that this has not been my month!!!!  I have missed a week of work passing a kidney stone.  That was a joy.  I had to have a CT scan which revealed to me that I have many issues, one of which are gallstones.  I have been in pain practically nonstop for 3 solid weeks.  I am going tomorrow to see Dr. K. to see what we can do about this old pesky gallbladder.  :)  When I eat I get sick.. I have lost 10 pounds in the past 3 weeks.  It is SICK!   I am tired of peple telling me I am too thin.  For heavens sake I still weigh 159.. Now that is a LONG way from 324, but geez... give me a break already!  Do you guys get tired of hearing you are getting too thin?  WHATEVER!!  LOL By the way.. Prom was this past weekend.  I have new pics posted.  Take a look if you like.  Love you all! Jenn

Hey Jenn  Glad to see you are around and kicking(sorta). I am sorry to hear about your kidney stone I have never had them. I can sympathize with you on the gall stones tho. I had them pretty bad and had to have my gall bladder out while I was 6 months preggers. It wasnt a pretty experience. I know all about the pain it can cause. It took me those 6 months to find out it was my gall bladder and not just the baby trying to do me in! As for the too thin I haven't experienced that yet and don't know if I ever will but I do get tired of people saying "Ohh I can tell so much in your face" Dammit I want my stomach, hips and derriere gone too. Maybe one day they will notice that the rest of my body is losing too.  Prom pics are great. You too look like you arent a day over prom age! What are you two??? 21 and 20?? Great job on your weightloss. You continue to inspire! Melissa

Hey - I'm so sorry! I had a kidney stone once - it was awful! Worse than childbirth! I thought you looked absolutely wonderful last time I saw you and imagine you are still just as gorgeous! Here's hoping you get all better soon!

Jenn
Im glad you have popped on to tell us whats been going on and Im sorry you have felt like crap and had to deal with the gall bladder and kidney stones. I just looked at your photos and you are STUNNING. You look beautiful to me and NO you dont look like every bone in your body is popping out like the super nasty toothpick girls (thats what hubby calls em) I got a big dose of * your too thin* from my cousin last week at Disney.... well she weighs over 250 lbs so I probably looked like a toothpick to her and she was making comments how I need to stand in front of her in the photos ect ect.... geez... I weigh 151 and Im 5'7 so its not like Im a bone bag and I dont plan on being one either!!!! dont listen to em Jenn you look G R E A T!!!

hugs

((((Jenn)))),

I'm so sorry to hear about the gall and kidney stones ... I can definitely empathize on both counts. I had my gallblader out about 14 years ago shortly after Sarah was born. The first time I had a gallbladder attack I thought I might be having a heart attack. I know what you mean when you say that you can hardly keep anything down. I'm sure that once they get rid of that thing you'll feel soooo much better and have your appetite back. Misery must love company, because this Monday I was in the ER with my own Kidney stone. It seems to have 'settled' for the time being and I just hope that I don't get a flare up with it while I'm in NYC next week for my daughter's surgery.

I know what you mean about people thinking you are too thin. I get those comments from friends and family. I am by no means skinny. I'm actually just about 'right' according to the BMI tables and when I was at my PCPs today with my Mom and had him tell her that my weight is A OK! He told her that I'm not fat or thin, I'm FIT! I think it's just hard for folks to see us in a totally different light sometimes.

You look absolutely stunning my dear!!!

I hope you'll feel that way soon too.

Love,

Barb

Hey Jenn....you look absolutely wonderful.   You look awesome and don't let anyone tell you differently! Pam

I mean, can the woman get any MORE gorgeous????  WOWIE, Jenn!  Absolutely stunning!  And I loved the family pix and the one of you and DH.  What a beautiful couple! Sweetie, I am so sorry you haven't been feeling well.  I sure hope that turns around for you soon.  Honestly, I am beginning to think that this NC forum has been cursed or something!  We need some good voodoo!!!

OWTCH!!!  Owie owie, Jenn I am so sorry you have been sick!  Wondering where you were!  Did you see my little girl at the prom?  She was the short one, LOL!  Also wanted to let you know my surgery date is July 21st!  A little later than I wanted, but I'm still excited! And...NO....I don't think I would ever get tired of hearing I was getting too thin!!!  Oh, wait....I guess you have to BE thin to hear that, LOL! (((HUGS))) and good to see you back!

Hey Jenn, You look fabulous!!!!  The dress is beauliful shade.  Sorry to hear about your Kindey and gallbladder stones. Dr. K will fix you right up. Let me know what he says. My boss was in the hospital for a week,  for kindey stones. It back everything up and cause her Kidneys to become infected. So watch it closley. Reenie
