WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY
Today sure has been cold , rainy and dreary hasn’t it? I don’t think it got much above freezing all day. I got some of the presents that I have bought this past summer all put in bags and or wrapped. Still have more stuff to get.
I bought my gifts the other day for the COF Christmas party on Dec 17th. Glenna I was wondering if Joe comes with me is it ok for me to bring a present for him to put into the mix of stuff? I figured that if you want to draw a present you need to put one in right? And the food that we are bringing that night is it suppose to be party foods or anything?
I guess we can discuss this tomorrow night too lol
Jumping the gun huh?
Hey gang the answers to the OH post are good, I have only found one other forum that is more than us so far and that one is Minn. They have about 65 posts. So rally round all you lurkers and post on there. PLEASE.
I am trying to figure out how to bring my protein shake to the meeting tomorrow night. I have to drive so far that I don’t know how it is going to travel. Am trying to work something out tho. .
TRACI: sorry you missed your husbands families dinner. But it wont be long till Christmas and you can make it up to them then. Shame that the kiddos are sick tho. How are they today? Are you taking them to the doctor or just going to let it run its course? I guess you cant take them to school as long as they are broke out tho can you?
JANET:HEY that is an idea about taping two boxes together. That might really work. My limbs on mine fold up so might be able to fold them and tie them up some way and be able to use just one ref box. I know about the Tupperware boxes and I don’t think they really make them that big anyway. Oh well I bet we figure something out.
Please , please please unless you are so sick you cant stand it sure hope you come to the meeting. It seems like forever since you have been there.
LOL about the magic rabbet. I cant believe he gets out so easily. Does he unlock the cage or does it have a lock on it? Lol
That will be something to see your dads twin that he has never met either. Will seem weird wont it
LADYMOYA: what type of surgery do you want to have? Lap band or RNY? Hopefully you can get some answers from us at the meeting if you still haven’t made up your mind. I think they both have pros and cons. I had the RNY done because I don’t have the will power to just have the lap band and I know it. If you have that is great. But I knew me I would cheat. With the RNY it is a lot harder to do that since we get sick if we eat the wrong things lol I guess it is sort of weird to pay someone to do a surgery on you to make you sick but for some of us it takes pretty drastic measures.
Your babies are all pretty young aren’t they? Got a long way to go before they are all grown.
Im glad that you got most of your Christmas shopping done already. That is good. And yeah it is incrediable how much it cost now days.
Will be nice to meet you at the meeting.
CHIPSTER: wow sounds like you really had some bad experiences with that first meal. Lol I don’t know how you did it either , oh yeah the morphine. Lol
Glad that you didn’t do any damage and are home now and can eat the way you are suppose to. Sure seems weird that , 2oz is all you can get in isnt it? That use to be a sip of something didn’t it? Glad you have a good support group up there and be sure and call your angel with any questions. She is super smart when it comes to all of this stuff.
Glad to see you posting and I know you are glad to be home.
HUGS AND BLESSINGS

This is a first - they don't normally get this much time off for Thanksgiving, but they do this year; and with the girls sick, that may be a good thing.
Anyway, have a good day everyone!!

Good Morning Jan and OH Peeps~
Another dreary looking day outside. Today I get to stay inside tho and stay warm! Its raining here and real cloudy, or as I call it-an Eeyore day! I had to go to Walmart yesterday and pick up prescriptions and get some groceries, and before it was all said and done, I was broke! If that wasnt bad enough, broke AND cold-not a good combo now, is it? LOL....
I didnt get my decorations up either. I CANNOT WAIT to see the pain management doc for my back and knees. I CANNOT WAIT to get the surgery over with. Its making me a cranky ol' B, thats for sure. Dont mean to be, but I have to basically do yoga to sustain myself from thinking about it! This is blowing my mind, thats for sure. Try to think of something good in this situation-I dont feel the knee pain too much! LOL...
Dont know if I told you (dont think I did) that the PCP wants me to go see a specialist for TMJ...What the hell is going on? I told him NO WAY...but, its really bothering me. My jaw locks easily, I cant lay on that side of my face or it locks, cant open my mouth very far without it locking AND I lose hearing in that ear (left side) several times a week, my ear pops and I cant hear for hours upon hours. To add insult to injury, I had broken that pc of bone off my right femur and it grew tissue around it-which they will take out when I get the knee replaced-well, another pc has snapped off-and its about 3 times the sz of the old pc-and its all bruised and hurts like....heck-I didnt even fall or anything-not sure HOW it happened. When I asked PCP about the TMJ, they are speculating that AFTER the weight loss-its bone on bone....I guess I never read so many things that can go wrong AFTER losing all the weight. My bubble has been burst, thats for sure, because "I" kept thinking that life would be all rosey when I lost this much weight. Another chapter for my book. Dont get me wrong, I really would do it all again, in a new york minute, BUT-I wouldnt go into it again thinking the weight loss would fix my world, thats for sure. I set myself up for one of the biggest disappointments in my life.
I wont be coming to the COF group tonite. I really want to-but between no transportation that I can AFFORD to drive (it would cost in excess of $50 to drive the Suburban), my back and the boys STILL being sick-its just not in the cards tonite. I sure am going to be thinking of everyone. I WILL be there for the holiday party come hell or high water-unless the weather prevents me. My daughter said I could drive her car, but Aaron gets off work at 6 pm, and then she gets off at 10 pm, and they would both have to find rides. Mel isnt going either-she is hurting something fierce too-and so its just not happening tonite. Darn it!!!
Well, our cat, Abby, that now lives outside-I wanted to get rid of her, but Mike thought maybe she would outgrow her bad habits of getting on the counters and such, well-I have been asking around etc for a new home-and Saturday, when I got ready to go to town, she was behind the Suburban, and I went back there to shoo her out of the way, and she was killing a SNAKE! It wasnt a big one, but still-she was killing it-so I am keeping that cat-and I am going to spoil her rotten!! She killed a trantula a couple months back too-so she is A-OK in my book and I am going to make sure she stays that way!!!
Mikes mom and dad are picking up a couple of bales of hay for us today-to insulate the dogs' mansion outside! I went to both places I have gone the past couple of years-and they were both out. I waited a little too long, I guess, so they are going to get that for me, and I do need to get that done for them today. I didnt get my homemade lasagna done yesterday either, so I am making that for dinner tonite too....making a extra batch for my parents, since they cant actually come for dinner, my dad or mom will come out and pick it up when they are delivering a patio set I bought 3 months ago-LOL...for the pool area, just like the one I have. I didnt actually buy it-but I traded a dresser for it...now we just need to get it over here. Cant wait until next summer because I now have 2 patio sets and 2 recliner type heavy duty sun chairs that you can lounge in and they adjust in back and by the legs-so I am excited about next summer already!! LOL...
Not much else going on here. Waiting to hear from Brenda. Hope she is doing okay. Tammy was going to be picking up her little princess yesterday too-so I hope she had travelers mercy and made it home okay-will be texting her in a bit to make sure she is home and all went okay. She said she wont be coming next month like she had hoped because the girls' mom will be in town at that time, but she will try and make it for Jan or Feb meeting.
**Jan-I just saw you last month, silly!! I miss you too, though! I really wish we lived closer-actually, I wish I still had my car-because I would be making it to more of the meetings. I will be there next month though. I was going to send your jeans and such with someone if they were going, but Mel isnt going and I havent talked to Nutti, so Im not sure-but since I havent dropped them off-I think I will have to wait to give them to you-I would be about 20 miles one way out of the way for her to come and get them first....Im sorry!
Are we doing the Christmas card exchange that OH MO Board did last Christmas? Has anyone said anything about that? I didnt get to do it last year, because, of course, I was having surgery AND didnt have a computer at that time-so if we are, that would be fun and I would like to be included in that. My SURGIVERSARY is this Thurs-and I am so excited about it. Dont know why-but it means more to me than an actual b-day, really. I think I am going to go get my hair done this weekend, and I am not going to deny myself something special, because I have said at 100#, then 200# I would do something for myself and didnt-so I think for my surgiversary, I am going to.
Well, I am going to get going. I have to change Jons clothes, he just spilled all over himself and get some of my emails answered and start my day off. I hope all of you have a wonderful day, stay warm and as always, your in my thoughts and prayers. Janet
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be, before you can actually become that person.

Helloooo Mo board!
not much going on with me!
well but for the fact I can wear clothes I havent worn in at least 6 or 7 yrs. and that is very exciting for me!
I cleaned out my dresser and found shirts! shirts I can now wear. so with the pants Tammy Gave me I have clothes! more clothes than I have had since I was at home and in school! hoooraayyy for me! now I just have to get some shoes....all I own is airwalks and crocs. perhaps something dressier is in order....dont want to buy any heels...still stumbling all over the place. but when that goes away I will buy some heels...I LOVE heels.
all my presents are wrapped and under a fully decorated tree. yet another project I was able to do for myself.
it is excillerating to be able to clean ones own house! and do laundry and take care of personal hygene in a way most people do them!
unless you have been there no one but God know how much these things can mean to a person!
its very nice to go where people understand!
I made some progress on my mini houseboat project...this is good as the deadline is Dec 15th for the photos to be sent in...and not e-mail!
than I can work on my donation house....Janet...call me...I need an age and/or some color suggestions.
and than 2 more mini projects to get finished before Christmas.
I know itll all get done because I work much better under crazy pressure!
as for shopping....I am almost finished. not sure what I will get my mother but she is the only one I am still clueless about...usually am.
my hair loss has slowed way down and nobody but me knows how thin it really is these days.
so this is good....
Have a great day!
nutti
I wont be at the COF meeting....running the kid around to get her photos ready for the art show. judging is for tomorrow...she found this out today!
