Carol, Hello hun ~hugs~ Yes it was the first time we went as well, so much money but it was a great time and we might just do it again next year. Now we know to save and bring money. Thanks for the congrats hun, I have many little mini goals because if I do not then it feels so overwhelming, it was a total of about 160-170 lbs I need to lose and taking it to each goal really seems to help. Now I am down almost 70 lbs, another 90 to go. Well I hope you have a great day hun ~hugs~ Debra P 285/217/125??

Debra, The Renissance Festival IS expensive, but fun too. Glad you had a good time. My food yesterday wasn't good, today will be better. Here goes: B 1 overeasy egg 1/2 bagel (not completely eaten) L D 1 meatball 6-7 Rigatoni in sauce S carb control icecream 1/2 c. Didn't handle the pasta at all, maybe the sauce, the meat, who knows? Linda

Linda, Hello hun ~hugs~ Yeah it can get crazy with all the extra money they want for this and for that. Though it was fun..... I have the carb control ice cream as well but I can only eat a tablespoon at a time or else it makes me feel sick, not to sick just just slightly. Kind of weird I think so I just take a taste from time to time. I think that 1/g gallon is only 1/2 empty and I have had it for well over 1 month. Now before surgery it would have been gone in 2 days..... Yeah our systems are strange now and sometime we just don't know what makes it sick... We are always learning as we go. Well take care ~hugs~ Debra P 285/217/125??

Hey Debra, I love the Renaissance festival. I have been there a few times. Hope you have a nice time, what a great weekend for it. I didnt do much this weekend but go to the park with my son. I think of it as the quiet before the storm. Lets see what my menu looked like yesturday: B-low carb yogurt s-nectar protein lemonage L-really mussy steamed eggplant(from my backyard)-had a huge stomachache, didnt feel good D-vanilla instone pudding(yummy) Drank a bunch of water and 8 oz.coffee. Today I am off to see Dr. Gellman and then I go straight to pre-op testing in the hospital. It's like I am there so much I should have free parking. Well if you are a family member of someone who is admited for more than a month they give you a free parking pass to the parking garage. My husband had this. You know my poor husband. He was in that hosptial so much, they were giving him employee discounts at the food court b/c they probably thought he was some kind of employee. Hee-Hee. Anyway wish me luck! Have a good day everyone! Tavia

Good luck girl hope everything will go smoothly this week for you.Your'e poor husband he must be tired of going back and forth to the hospital.But you know what the family members become so suppotive.My poor sister got so tired of driving me back and forth to ER(I was hospital twice after my wls)She told me she doesn't want to see another ER or an OR again.But she was so worried.Or the OR nurse telling you "YOUR BACK AGAIN".Well good luck this week. Claire.

Claire, Thank you so much really. The ER stinks. They do nothing for you but shrug their shoulders and then call a surgery resident who then take hours to come down and then they shrug their shoulders. I have learned to call your surgeon and/or PCP before you go to the ER and just see them in the office that day or next morning. If your doctor over the phone or in his office that he will admit you then the process in the ER goes so quicker than just waiting around the ER and letting them decide what to do w/you. Just make sure the surgeon/PCP calls it in to the ER before you get there b/c then you will wait around until you pass out and die. They seem to get nervous and move quicker when a "real" doctor(verus a ER attending) knows one of their patients are in the ER and is waiting to be admitted. I am praying for this all to be over w/as well. Thanks! take care. Tavia 255/130

Tavia, Hello hun ~hugs~ You should have an email back with my contact info.... Thanks for sharing your menu hun. Well I am really hoping that this time it will be taken care of hun and I wish you all the best Take care Debra P 285/217/125??

I have not been able to eat because I have such a bad cold and I don't have much of an appetite! I hope you don't mind my asking you this, but why are you going for preop testing again? Is everything okay with you? Please let me know and I hope that everything will be fine.
