First Thursday

good morning kathy, great that u got some good sleep.  let me see, the 16th is only 6 days away and u can have something else besides carnation ib.  do u get to have protein drinks now? it is cooling down here. sat is a chance of rain and supposed to only be 70. i can't wait.  it is has really been pleasant here.  in the lower 80's.  i just love new seasons. that is why i can't wait for sat.  well have a good one. vick

Morning Vick, I add extra protein to the carnation to get my 60 plus grams.  I have been using the nutrition tracker on the health part of this site and see that I usually get 86-90 grams of protein from this mix.  I am looking forward to getting some texture to chew, besides meds (gritty).

Fall is my favorite season, now getting to see the start of the changing leaves, the maples are turnig briliant colors.

Hugs, Kathy

Good morning Buddies!

My surgery is just a handful of days away, which is hard to believe.  I am on the 1200 calorie diet today and tomorrow, then on a liquid diet Saturday and Sunday, and then I'm off to surgery on Monday.  I have lost about 10 lbs since 08/29/2009 - not to shabby! 

I have SO much to get done at work today so I'm keeping this short.  I hope all of you have a fantabulous Thursday!  Be kind to yourself!  And take care!

Just headed on my way to fantabulous.  You have a great one too Kim.  I will be thinking about you on Monday.  Sending vibes of well being for a speedy recovery.  Hugs, Kathy

hey kim, good luck on your upcoming surgery. here is a list of some things to take to the hospital
1.  lip balm without petroleum jelly, you might need to use oxygen and petroleum is flameable
2.  sleeveless men's t shirts to put on under binder, makes it more comfortable, be sure and prewash
3.  good houseshoes, you will be walking
4.  pillow for use in hospital and on the ride home, slip under seat belt and hold against u incase u hit a bump
5.  i just used the hospitals gowns for a gown and a robe, saved a lot of packing
6.  toothpaste and toothbrush, or the hospital can provide
you really don't need a whole bunch, you will be sleeping a lot. good luck. vick

Good Morning everyone!
Kim...you are doing wonderful! Saving you a spot here on the losers bench right by me! You will definately be busy getting ready. You must be getting very excited! Make sure you have what you will need when you get home from surgery! You really won't feel up to running around looking for it all.

Kathy, I am thrilled that you have lost the last of tha****er weight! YEAYYYYY for you. And happy you got a great nights sleep.

Annie and mary...how are things going with the two of you?

Charlotte, you are kicking behind on the weight loss..sooo happy for you lady! Don't over do it on the treadfmill! Don't want to see you hurt yourself.

Vick, how is your #2 doing? has it slowed in its draining anymore? How are you feeling these days? Hows your Father doing?

My love to all!
