Life as I have known it..........

Its been a while since I posted.. Have lost track of alot of things along with friends.... for this I am sorry and I will try to do my part when I can but for now I must work on myself, I am over tired under paid.. (what pay????) full time slave to food... grown kids and even to myself.... I never thought I would ever have a problem with losing to much weight.... but wow am I I am slowing getting back to where I need to be but it been a battle.. first was to fight with my Dr about lowering my thyroid pill and I won that one started out at 200 MCG then last year went to 100 MCG now yay me down to 50 mcg's maybe just maybe the Dr was wrong and I am right ( I know I am!) its been a week and I put on another pound and that's with 2000 cals a day... I really hate eating its become a chore so as soon as I hit 145 my nut said I can go to 1500 cals yay me! As for family life ... well it has its ups and downs with my kids... my youngest daughter is now 23 weeks pregnant her and her boyfriend are doing OK for the most part but he is having a very hard time with the fact my daughter is hormonal and she has cancer and chose to have the baby first then have treatment after.... and so far the cancer is still a stage one so the OB Oncologist says it is very safe for her to have the baby "THANK GOD!" and to my other daughter well lets just say she has to hit a rock bottom because I am done with watching her destroy her self and her life...and last of all my parents... well the state took over there care and its all my fault" YAY!" and yes I am happy about that.... they were nuts ... crazy and needed help..... On the good side of things I am very thankful my husband Steve has been amazing through all this and I am thankful he is my best friend... Now i know he will never read that but but it felt good to write it.
Well I am almost writing a book at this rate but I did want to thank everyone for being on this site and I hope that life is treating you well and with all the bumps in the road you pass that you will take it like a grain of salt and toss it over your shoulder and keep going.. the journey we all must travel is worth wild no matter how bumpy or smooth it might be.

Hugs to all, Lisa

Lisa 
       Good to see you posting. Wow. You have lots on your plate right now.
     Also glad your parents will be getting the help they need. I'm leaving on vacation Tuesday for 5 weeks. Much of the time I will not have computer access, Every one will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
   You can get back on track. I have faith in you. Yes, there are bumps along the way, but we can overcomes these with the support of our friends and family. Keep posting. Let us be blessed by encouraging you.   Mag    
  

Thanks Mag... Enjoy your vacation.

Hugs and lots of support sent your way!

Thanks Dani, That means alot to me.

  Hugs Lisa, you have more than you need in the emotional baskets these days.  Know that you are making the best decisions and that the world will still spin.  Give Steve a hug from us, we need the support at home as well as here.  I hope the rest of your daughters pregnancy flows by smoothly.  May the rest of the troublesome people in yourlives get to the places they need to be.  Hope the weight stabilization continues.

Keep us up to date.  I have my step son here for a visit.  Dennis and I have been married for 3.5 years, plus dating, this is the first I've met his son.  Hasn't been home to see his dad for 7-8 years.  He is 27 and lives on the west coast.  Different having another person around the house.  His son is used to eating one meal a day, that just does not work out with wls.  I shared that with him, and that he was welcome to have small meals with me if he chooses.  I am not letting this affect me meal choices, just having the option open for him to share.   So far, so good with the visit.  He will be here another 10-15 days.  Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Thanks Kathy,..its been a roller coaster... but I am practicing what I preach.... live life on lifes tearms..... with having to eat more then I am used to is a work in progress, but I can do it, sounds like you have alot going on too. Hope the visit goes well , I know it can be good and interesting at times when you have family visiting..... I am glad your doing what you need to do regardless... keep up the great work.

Hugs, Lisa

 Wow Lisa, sounds like there is a lot on your plate!  Blessings to your family, and my prayers to your daughter for a safe and healthy delivery.

Thanks Jane.
