Good Morning OH'ers It's FRIDAY! !

Today I am grateful..

For the things in my life that make me think..

For being able to watch a hero of mine Pat Summitt win her 1000th game..

That I am able to live with myself..

For the people in my life that make me realize I am not so bad..

For good comments on the video Yvonne did of me on the www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com

SONG OF THE WEEK..

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT BY THE ROLLING STONES..

I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"I'M SORRY, DID I INTERUPT YOUR CONCENTRATION"  FROM PULP FICTION

         Thank you We love you

My husband had RNY on June 25, 2009 and is down 155 pounds. I would have thought this would be an exciting time in his life, and it was for the first 5 months or so, but now he is one of the deepest depressions I've ever witnessed.  Normally he is outgoing and fun loving.  For the last month and a half he has been mopping around, not going anywhere, gets anxious around people, and has become obsessive about being around me all the time.  He is going to his psych doctor and is on Zoloft for the depression, but he is bipolar.  They had him on depokene (liquid form of depokote), but it wasn't touching his depression.  They will put him back on that as soon as he is leveled out, but this adjustment has been over two weeks now and I'm not seeing an improvement.  I'm really starting to worry that he isn't going to pull out of this.  I can't help but feel it has something to do with the RNY surgery and the major changes to his body.  Does anyone have information on this type of thing as it relates to the chemical imbalance that may be going on here?

Thanks for being honest...One time I had a therapist tell me to make a gratitude list for homework.  He did not expect much, just one item a day.  I had a dear friend help me look at my days and see the things I could be grateful for.  Life really sucked for me at that time.  There were some days I could only write that I was grateful for the sunshine, and getting home from work safely.  That was a healthy start.  Soon, I was seeing God at work in my life in really neat ways.  

So, today I am grateful for getting my surgery scheduled, sinus surgery is in two weeks. 

I am grateful I had a snow day off from school.  I really felt lousy today.

I am grateful I got to an AA meeting.  I really needed it.

Hugs,
Trish

Guys, don't mean to be graphic, but I need help.  I've been struggleing with constipation and trying to get in more fiber and water/crystal light.  But I had a hard painful bowel movement, that I swear its so hard I can't pass it, sorry...

Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do???  what is helping you?   You know its pretty bad when you have to lay your heart out about pooping, hee, hee... 

Thanks for any ideas, I truly need them....  Hugs
