3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY!

I'm so thankful for: 1) That I have been smoke-free for 2 weeks today.  Let me just say that it has been rough (thats an understatement).  The contract I signed with DVR said that I needed to be smoke-free 1 month prior to surgery, but I said what the heck, let me quit now incase I stumble.  I've got to say that I have come so close to going to the store and buying a pack, smoking one, and throwing the rest of the pack away.  But I never it did it!  So wish me luck!!! 2) That I'm two weeks away from my next appointment.  This is my final appointment before they submitt for insurance approval.  I get to meet with DVR again, and of course I need to have a definite answer on witch surgery I'm having.   3) I will be attending my 1st support group tomorrow up at St. Agnes.  I'm attending the LapBand meeting tomorrow, and the RNY next month.  Is anybody else by chance attending these meetings? I hope yall have a great day! Teri

T - I am SO proud of you for not smoking!!!!  You go, girl!!!  I know it's hard, heck, so is losing weight, but the fact that you're able to focus on both amazes me!!  Keep up the good work!! Keep an eye on the boards - someone usually posts the day of about the meetings.

Thanks Tia!  Yes, it has been really hard, but this is something I have to do.  As for the meetings, I will definitely keep an eye out on the boards. T

Teri. I think the lapband meeting is next week - the 3rd Wednesday of the month.... Do you know otherwise? Ellen

The flyer I got from DVR says the 11th in the waiting room of his office from 6-7 pm. I don't think its the regular meeting that it is held over at St.Agnes hospital.  I'm going to double check the flyer in the morning (its in the car and we are in the middle of this storm) and I will let you know for sure. Teri

I can't wait to find out if gia is getting better. I feel so bad for cira and her family. Keeping my fingers crossed that I hear good news soon. grateful for: 1. i put my two weeks notice in yesterday so my last day is the 20th. I can't wait. 2. still listening to the new earth by eckhart tolle and it is really helping. i recently ate bad stuff but i think it's cuz i overdid it over the weekend and i'm so tired right now. but i am done and brought good food for today. 3. my parents pool. i will be in it all this weekend. i can't wait. i love swimming. i am going to go swimming today as well, but an indoor pool. water makes me happy.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How come you made your two weeks' notice its own post on another board?  You belonged to US first!!!!!  LOL!!! Congrats!!!!!  I'm so glad it all worked out for you!!! My brother SO needs to get his pool opened!!  Poor guy, every SINGLE year, there's a problem with the pump, the filter, or some other tiny part that costs an arm and a leg!!!  Just for the sheer fact that I can let the kids swim all day is enough to make me happy.  Then of course, when they're not there - it's Tia's pool!!!  WOO-HOO!!! T

i didn't post here cuz of Gia. I didn't feel right. I will after I find out she is doing well. lol. pools are awesome!

I know, but Cira kind of gave me grief last night.  And just by thinking good thoughts, we're doing a lot for them!!!   Believe me, Cira will be SO happy to learn you've gotten a job you want!! Tia

Tuesday's grateful - nesses (sp?) 1.  That baby Gia is doing better. 2.  That my husband is expecting a job offer from the county ~ finally a career job offer after our move. 3.  That I got to swim last night.  Felt all my muscles tighten, but the pool feels so much better than that treadmill. The scale said 3 lbs lighter this morning and then I got back on it 5 minutes later and it added a pound from yesterday.  I have my first appointment tomorrow with Dr. K (3 weeks post-surgery) and I need to know what I'm doing wrong.  I don't think I'm eating enough.  But I can't keep enough down.  I throw up at least 1 time a day.
