 This is my third day of doing absolutely nothing. My hips are hurting so bad, I can not stand to lay, sit or walk. I hate it when I have these flare ups of pain. I was so hoping the weight loss would help this.  But no such luck yet. When I took my shower yesterday I could not stand for the water to hit my hips. So I am fixing to try a bath and see if that helps. 

I need so prayers please that this pain will disapate soon. 

Blessings to you all.

 Well what a wonderful Christmas I had. I got to spend Christmas Eve with my mom, dad, two brothers and sister and their spouses.  The table was trimmed with everything yummy to eat. But I was completely happy with my tablespoon of mashed potatoes small amount of dressing and turkey or ham. I had one pinch of a dinner roll and after a couple of hours had a sliver of fat free chocolate cake. What wonderful fellowship we had. My mom and dad own several antique cars and they gave each of my brothers and sister an antique car. I got the oldsmobile that has been sitting in the garage for a few years. It's still a great car and even though I did not get one of the antiques I am thrilled with the thoughtfullness of getting anything at all. He could have sold all of these cars but chose to give them to his children. 

Christmas day was just as awesome. We went to my mother and father inlaws for another dinner and "white elephant" gift exchange with my sister in law, her husband and children along with a cousin and her husband. Again the table was filled with everything you can imagine. And again I was content with my small plate of soft foods. My wonderful husband purchased me a beautiful new refrigerator that I had been wanting. We got to talk on the phone and skype in some cases with all of our children and grandchildren. 

Today my husband and I have just enjoyed a lazy day of watching old movies and I am working on taking the tree down and getting all the Christmas stuff ready for another year of storage. 

I am so thankful to my Lord Jesus Christ for being in my life and giving me such wonderful family and friends. I am thankful that the coming new year will be a much healthier one for me, thanks to my WLS. I certainly hope each and everyone of you have a new years filled with an abundance of blessings.

I certainly hope everyone is in the holiday spirit and ready for a wonderful Christmas.   

I weighed this morning before my walk and am down 32 pounds. Yippee 

I'm so excited about the weight loss. And so excited about my son's family coming in today and bringing my beautiful grand daughter. She is ten months old and it will be a blast watching her open her Christmas presents. 

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! 

Well it's been a couple of days since I wrote. I am still doing great as far as the WLS, but have really been down in back and legs the last couple of days. But feeling much better today. I have been up and walking again, Gosh it makes you feel so much better when you can walk. I walked about a 1/2 mile on the WII today. Working towards that mile before I go back to the doctor on December 8th. Walking helps keep the gas down, bowel normal. Never thought I would have said exercise is a good thing. LOL

My husband hugged me good bye this morning and said "Hey there is less of you already". It's only been eleven days. But I certainly did enjoy the compliment. He's such a wonderful support system.
