Went out a few minutes ago, with wet hair, nightgown, slippers, and jacket. It was beautiful! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

Sounds yummy, Debbie, but not as yummy as the SCRAMBLED EGG THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE 2 SECONDS AFTER MY EYES OPEN IN THE MORNING! :)

Welcome home Candee. Hang in there. It's perfectly normal for you to be mourning the loss of your best friend, food. We all did it. Just hang tough and it will all work out. Rita

It's normal to be a little nervous-I'll just tell you what others told me-I do not regret my decision.  There have been some hard parts, but 93 pounds later, I can honestly say it's been worth it.

Those shows can sure make you think!  I never thought I would reach and exceed 300, but I did!  I am also glad to have such great friends who understand and support me in my choice for WLS.
Thanking God for you all every day!!

Camille,

I dont have the same way with words that many here do but I know that the things you are thinking and feeling I experienced in the days before hand but I surged through and I am so happy that I did. When Cowboy talked about wondering what did I do to myself the first few days is true but then you turn this corner and you get on the scales and you have dropped 13 pounds in a week you know why you did it and that you would do it again already this quickly out.

Sky Show Tonight: Jupiter, Venus, Moon

Look at the moon. The 2 "bright stars" are Jupiter and Venus. This is supposed to happen like every 40 years so this may be the only time some of us will see this.

Prayers headed your way.  I am so jealous that she is getting her bat wings removed!  Maybe someday I can get plastics.

Topic: RE: Recipe for Turkey Leftovers
Sounds good! I do something similar and turn it into turkey pot pie -- in fact making it tonight. I don't use milk and add a bag of frozen mixed veggies. Put it all in a baking pan with pillsbury bisquits on top then pop in oven until the bisuits are golden. The kids would rather eat the bisquits so they can have "mine".

Ed is right, wait until you take those jeans out of the dryer and think they must have shrunk big time and won't fit- but they do!

You are so right in that the emotional changes are profound.  I am amazed by those changes even more than the physical changes.

You are doing great!  Keep up the great work!

Topic: Tapping in...
Ok - you guys are some the most powerful pray-ers that I know, so I'm tapping in and asking for a few for my mother.

Several years ago, mother had RnY at Mercy and has lost tremendous amounts of weight.  Her blood pressure has gone from the danger zone to virtually normal.  Last year she had a lower body lift / panniculectomy / tummy tuck and the results have been incredible for her.  She is truly a new person from who she was such a short time ago.  She has been an incredible single mother for over 35 years now, and is my inspiration for so many things - including changing my life by having my own WLS.

Tomorrow she is going to have plastic surgery to remove the excess skin on her arms.  This is something she wants and needs to do for herself.  She's using the same surgeon as last year, and we are very comfortable with him, but I think that a few extra prayers from incredible pray-ers like this group could certainly help.

Thanks for your time and prayers!  I'll post up an update as soon as we know something late tomorrow or Wednesday morning.

John
