Miss you all

I only log once or twice a week. since my grandson broke my laptop. I will be getting it back next week. I miss you all and want to catch up. Went to Rascal flats concert sat in Cincy. Stayed in Newport kentucky. wow isnt that the place to go. Just like nashville. We are going to brad paisly on sept 30 and doing the same thing. 7 girls went we stayed in a hotel. It was a blast Hugs to all barb

Wow! Now brad paisley I would want to see!

Barb, You WILD woman!!!! I can just see you stowing away on the tour bus... I would love to see Rascal Flats at the Fair and Brad Paisley can just stop by my house for a private concert.. I am so happy for you .. Isnt this new life wonderful... Hugs and kisses, Miss Laura

I know you must be getting all ready to go to the concert on Wednesday.. That's one of my preop test days, so I will be at the hospital from 9am to 3pm, I will be wishing I were you that day! I just wanted top know which Oil of Olay product you use, so I can get some before surgery, actually I would like to start using it now. Is it the classic face cream or is it the firming lotion? They have so many available now it confuses me. Where do you get yours? I was looking at Walmart.. I used their store brand years ago and didn't like it..I always liked Oil of Olay (used it in my 20s when i really didn't need to) but it got so expensive that I had to quit buying it...But now that I am on my way to taking care of myself, I think I will invest in some! Have a great time!

I use the regular oil of olay. I put it on two or three times a day. I keep it on my face. I only wear makeup if I go out. I try to not wear face makeup. The concert was such a great time. We tail gated before the concert. Partyied in Newport Ky. That place is a blast. It is just one partying town. So much shops and bars. We are going to the Brad Paisley concert on the 30 Sept cant wait. Your surgery is almost here. I am so happy for you. I am going nuts. My husband hurt his back at work and is home. I dont know how long. He is driving me batty. Also there is a oil of olay lotion. for the body. It is a firming lotion. You need that for your body. Or just get the lotion thats in a purple bottle. Keep that lotion on your skin. You dont want to have alot of excess skin. Try to do all you can. How is you foot doing. Oil of olay is all I have ever used. It will help you. You are the same size I was before my surgery. You going to do great. I am in a size 6 womans or a size 9/10 size meduim shirt. Lets get together next summer and meet for a concert somwhere. If you tan or lay in the sun. Dont tan your face. I only tan freom the neck down. The face is the most important thing to keep looking young. Do all you can to keep your face toned. Hugs Barb

I don't go out in the sun and I don't wear makeup except for mascara and blush..I will start using the oil of olay as soon as possible. I know I will have the apron belly because I already have alot of that from having the 6 kids..I can't imagine a size 6.. Heck I can't imagine a size 16...Foot aches all the time, I posted a picture of it from behind on my profile, it is one of the pictures I sent to Medicaid. It is so curved, just imagine walking on it all day everyday and feeling the bones shift with each step... Do you eat the ground flax seeds that I see people talking about on here? I was going to get some and have them to grind into my food after surgery to keep me regular. I have everything else I need for afterward.. They will probably tell me one or two more things to get when I go in tomorrow for my pretest.. I will let you know how that goes.. I've never smoked so I hope my lungs are good.

Never used the seeds. I have heard of them. I go everyday without help. I had a few problems the first 3-4 months. I used smooth move from gnc. It is like a herbal tea. Works great the next day. also it is natural. I dont think you need to worry about the seeds. Not unless you really have a hard time. Also remember your baby wipes. For the hospital. Also remember the first month is the hardest. I felt like killing myself when I woke up from surgery. I was so mad at what I had done to myself. Alot of people go threw depression. I had to be put on depression medicine because of my head hunger. I didnt like my family eating and it was driving me nuts. I got threw that hard time. You have been on here long enough to know what its all about. You will do great !!!! I am just so happy for you. I had my surgery Sept 21-2005. So next year you will be where I am at. God it is so nice. You will also have had your surgery on your ankle. I seen your picture. Wow I bet that hurts. You going to be fine. Hugs Barb
