What's New FRIDAY?
Morning,
Nothing new to report for me. Just the usual- work and chasing after others. At least it is pay day.
It looks like it is official even though the paper work hasn't been submitted. I was welcomed at the back to school training for the Related Services Providers and given a farewell at the Back to School training for the Special Education Staff.
I hope that everyone has a great weekend.

The love of my OH Family has me humbled!!!!
I know that you are probably tired of hearing this one, Aime, but remember to take care of Aime too. She needs some tender loving care too. Just a thought.
I am so glad to see you posting this morning. I miss you when our family isn't all here.
Have a wonderful week end. Don't instead

Good Morning Annette & all,
Annette, your waterfront dinner with Tom sounded so lovely.
Brenda, I see you got your Century Card!! Congratulations!! You are doing terrific.
Susan enjoy your concert tonight.
Margo glad your tummy is better today.
Kathi, I know it must be hard for you to be in this stall but keep on keeping on, it will get better!!
Julia, Enjoy your weekend!
Floyd, enjoy your vacation, it's such fun to meet up with other OFF members.
Debbie G., I'm sure your wishing your vacation was a little longer, especially since you've worked so hard through most of it.
I had my follow up appt with the Endocrinologist yesterday. The nodule is benign, so she'll do another ultrasound in 1 year. She is very happy with my progress, I've lost 20 ounds since I saw her the first time in mid May. Down 47 pounds since the first of the year. She doesn't feel that I need to have wls, I'll have to post separately about that as I have mixed feelings. She said I am her best patient in the Metabolic Program. Made me feel proud.
Also saw the physical therapist in the afternoon and he worked me for 1 1/2 hours straight, but I was able to do everything he asked/pushed me to do. He also said I am doing fantastic, gave me a couple new exercises that he said will help with the hanging panni. Don't know if it will help but figure it can't hurt. He said if the core muscles get tighter/stronger it will help to pull the lower abdomen up so that even if it is still hanging it will look like it is shrinking by holding it in and up??? Also will help with supporting the weak back muscles.
Last night DH & I went shopping to look for a couple new fall outfits for church. I got 2 beautiful Alfred Dunner outfits on the 50% off rack......in size 20, brand new 20"s off the rack..still can't believe my big butt fits in them! Someone pinch me!!
Have a blessed day, Hugs, Paulette

Paulette, congratulations on the size 20's!!! You have come a long way, girl friend. You may not see it all the time but it is there. Take our word for it. Remember when I told you that you are NOT as big as you think you are? I meant it! And you need to think I am saying it just to say it. Keep doing what you are doing and you might be surprised!!! Just wait~the Paulette inside is fighting to get out and she is coming a bit at a time. Love and hugs to you, my friend.

Good morning Annette and all,
I am in Seattle; in an interesting B&B on Capital Hill. We are in the Carriage Loft. Quaint little room in a very old "mansion." Tom thinks it smells like cat pee. I usually smell stuff but it just smells mildewy to me. Haven't really seen the grounds in the light of day but I think from what I could see in the dark it's a neat little spot. We'll see. Didn't get here till late.
Went to Mt Rainier and of course raining and fog so couldn't see the Mountain. It was all good though; stopped and walked and took some fun pictures.
Met high school sweetheart and his wife for dinner. Was nice. Weird but fun. Hadn't seen them for over 20 years.
Today, we will roam about Capital Hill and maybe go to the Seattle Art Museum, then to dinner with my son Collin. Tomorrow night he is taking us to a drag show. I think my sweet husband will need a couple of drinks under his belt for that
They serve breakfast here at 8:30 am so I am curious to see what that will be. Did really well with my food yesterday. When we used to travel we always had lots of snacks in the car. This time we had fresh cherries and had a little picnic...was perfect.
Have lovely day all,
Glad you are all here to talk to!

Good morning all. Thank you to all who have sent prayers my way. It is 0641 here. Went to bed at 2030, woke up twice for potty (my normal). Sipped 60 cc. total, 30 for each break. Could not stay in bed another minute, at 0630, was up sipping profect,and tylenol for my headache. Plan for the day is get in as much water as I can. Walk the treadmill 1 lap in am and 1 lap in pm. I have found ,if I fill a 30 cc. cup with what I need to drink, and sip every 5 minutes, I don't get that feeling in my stomach. I know it is swollen. I just have to work around it. Happy Friday to all.Keep me in your prayers for a successful day,
Love you
If you think there is swelling there, when that happened to me in the hospital right after the surgery Doctor put me on ice chips only. I was on that for 3 days and it helped. Maybe you should try that for a couple of days. Don't push the fluids or the protein right now. The ice will help get the swelling down and then you will be able to start doing things like you are suppose to. I have to say that I started feeling much much better doing that. I was miserable trying to get fluid down. It was making me feel like poop! But maybe it would be best if you got a hold of the doctor and ran it past him. Just keep trudging and things will work out for you before you know it.

Good Morning,
I have taken the day off to get ready to head to Sacramento for the OH conference. I will be seeing Julia, and cannot wait. It has been awhile and I am sure we both look different. This will be my last outing for awhile. On Tuesday I have my plastic surgery. Tummy tuck here I come. The surgeon said I will not be able to get around for awhile. I am not an indoor person so this will be very challenging for me. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will post pictures when I get home. I am planning to change my picture when I get home.
