Oh wow the ones of you that didn’t make it to the COF meeting tonight missed a really good time. Lots of good weight loss friendly foods and good conversation and fun with the exchanges of the gifts.

Im not going to make this very long my granddaughter and daughter and great grand son are here and staying all night tonight and all of my family will be here tomorrow and we will have Christmas together.

TRACI: Well did the kiddos go to school yesterday? I hope all of the snow and icy roads are going away. I hope you have gotten all of your shopping done now and things are going according to normal . lol what ever that is.

JANET: it was so good to see you and Melissa again. Even tho you looked so awfully tired or in pain or both. I have been looking for that double stroller , granddaughter has one if we think your tiny butts will fit. Lol

I sure hope that March hurrys up and gets here so you can start getting your body fixed. Love you and I just hate to see you hurting. You have so much to be proud of with the weight you have lost.

LANA: hi twiggy. Lol Loved your chili that was really really good. Was so great to see you again. …

BELLANNA: oh wow sounds like you have been thur some really trying days in the last little bit, but thank God for some pretty awesome friends. Sounds like you have some of the best.

Wish you the best of luck in the world about your new life and your weight loss. Hope to hear from you often. And maybe when you are feeling better you can come down to one of our meetings we would love that that is for sure.

Well that is all for tonight so maybe you all can tell us how your day went or will go or what ever. Lol

HUGS AND BLESSINGS

Good Morning Jan and OH Peeps~

Last night was such a good time! I wished that everyone from our board could have joined us.....We even got an extra hour-and it still didnt seem to last very long-LOL!!! Love seeing my peeps when I come to Springfield! Sorry we were late-I felt so bad-but I had to keep having Mel pull over-and when it wasnt me getting out-it was her! The gift exchange was so much fun too-and seeing everyone smiling and such-what a great time! Good friends, good conversation and good food-what person could ask for anything more! NOT ME!!! You ALL looked so FANTASTIC!!!! As usual though!

Just have one question for you all-DID ANYONE GET THE LICENSE NUMBER OF THE SEMI THAT HIT MEL AND I???? Did anyone happen to see the accident? I had to have been hit by something-I have never felt this much pain in ALL MY LIFE.... Oh peeps-Im telling you, I was waking up arching my back and trying to get the pressure off my tailbone and back-tears rolling down my face. Im not so sure I will be making another trip like that before I have back surgery. If I do-I may stay overnite at a motel and go home the next day. Mike, bless his heart-kept just rubbing my back every single time I woke up-I kept him awake non stop until 2:30 this morning and then on and off until he finally got up for good at 4:30.

On the way to group last night, Mel hands me a box and says-Open it. Little square thing with a butt-load of tape (you always know when something is hers-LOL) so I open it-and its this BEAUTIFUL bracelet-with squares all the way around with a spacer between each square-and each square has a picture in it!!! I have a picture of each of my kids-plus my SIL, and of Mike-its one of the best presents I have EVER gotten!! I was so excited-and it was a size 6-which I would have never been able to wear before! Its sooooo awesome!! Many of you saw it-wasnt that cool~??? Ok-so when I get home, Mike is waiting for me....He and I talked for a bit-then I get this text from Mel asking if I opened my present? I said-Oh girl, Im not sure how much pain medicine you have had-but you saw me open it-LOL...Silly woman! She says-NO, the big box on the bar counter...Oh-the ONE that MIKE told me belonged to Stephanie-and so I put it in her room since it was taking up a big chunk of the counter? LOL...I didnt open it-because it wasnt mine-LOL...She went to this Christmas party over the weekend and I figured that she just forgot the box there when she went to bed....So-I go in her room, get the box, sit down, open it-out comes a MS SANTA outfit (WINK WINK) with this red bra with white fuzzy trim, this little red skirt with white fuzzy trim and these undies with white pom poms on the side that dangle....Mike is now salvatating all over himself and I KNOW I AM BLUSHING~~~!!! He looks at me like rarrr rarrr.....And I am going OMG....I HAVE TO SHOW SKIN IF I WEAR THIS!!! He says-tell Mel thanks for MY Christmas present....Santa is VERY HAPPY with MRS SANTAs new outfit...OH CRAP! Now HE has seen it, and now HE IS EXPECTING ME to wear it...Im gonna get her back! Im so self conscience that I have never owned anything quite like this outfit before. One of the things I have always admired about Mel-is her self confidence...... Maybe I need a little of that confidence? I dont know. Anyway-we have to go to the store today and exchange the bra-its too small. I measured MYSELF since the girl at Victorias Secrets had to make a mistake-and this bra is bigger than my VS one and is too tight around and the cup is a little big. So there is my drama for today!! LOL...

Today I have to go to Joplin and get some stuff for our Christmas party tomorrow with Mel and her family. We were going to try to get a girls and one boy (Jon) day of baking, but since the kids already used so many snow days-they have to go until Friday and we were gonna try to get together Thurs...May not get our baking day BEFORE Christmas-may have to do it afterwards. Will see. So anyway-Have to go and get that done today. Got caught up on all laundry yesterday-in fact, I did ALL the kids' chores and gave them each ONE extra thing to do. Darrel had to pick up the trash that grandmas dog got into and Stephanie had to mop the kitchen floor-still cant do that. Today I dont have much cleaning to do-so I am going to wrap this up, get a few things done and get to town! When I get home-Will give Mr. Jon a haircut (geez, his hair grows soooo fast!) and wrap some more presents....

**Jan-you look so good for someone who just had major surgery....You are getting around like nothing is wrong!!! WOW! You always look amazing-but last night, you truly looked like you had a glow about you and I got some good pics of you!!! Im so glad to see you getting around so good-but then, I knew you would, because you are such a trooper....

Thanks for the pictures-they are wonderful. I appreciate it so much!! I am gonna put them in my scrapbook-and jons...first pinata he ever played with!!

I hope and pray that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas celebration today!! I know you will. They are lucky to have you and Joe!

**Glenna-Thanks for another great group get together! You mean so much to us and we love you. I am praying for your baby Joey-that he feels better soon and I know you will be so relieved when he is okay!!! Tell Jess we missed his smiling face and jokes!! I hope and pray you have wonderful holidays and I love ya!

**Lana-Its always so good to see you tiny...You better not lose anymore weight!! Your so tiny now-I cant imagine you losing another pound!! You will be see through-but your so darn cute!! Got some more good pics-I will email them out!! Hope you like the pressure cooker and it works great for you! I wish we couldve met Stacy!! Eventually Im sure we will!!! LOL...Love ya!

**Tami B- It was so good to see you again-seems like forever!! You looked wonderful, as always!! Tell Jim we say hi and hope to see you again!! I hope you have wonderful holidays too!

**Mel-THANK YOU so much for the ride.....THANKS for the bracelet of my children and hubby-Mike THANKS you for the Ms Santa outfit...LOL-and Jon LOVES his sweatshirt with him and Claires picture on it...He thinks its cute-of course, he thinks she is a little doll anyway...His best friend (his own age anyway-LOL)....It was great to have time to talk without interruptions of kids or hubbys and even though we are paying for it today-it was nice to have a few hours of togetherness.....I had so much fun! Love you girl. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart-

**To everyone else-I hope everything is going good for you. I hope that you have heat and electricity-and as always, your all in my thoughts and prayers-Janet

Good Morning OH I am so glad to be here. Finals are over and I ended up with 3 A's and one B. Submitted my last final this am. I have missed everyone so much and plan on posting EVERY day during my break. One more semester leftr and then I am DONE! I hope everyone's holiday season is going great!! As for me I haven't even started shopping yet. I have my four kids, three grandkids, three sisters, mom, brother in law and then theres my friends that I need to shop for. It wears me out just to think about it!! I need to get started. I also need to find time to get up to the store and buy christmas cards for all my OH friends. So far, I have received many wonderful christmas cards. Thank you all so much I really enjoy getting all these cards. I hope I don't drop the ball and am able to get cards back to all of you. My daughter is doing well. She will be having the baby in about five weeks. Doesn't seem possible that almost 9 months have went by so quickly. I only have 14 more pounds to hit before hitting onederland!! I am so excited. Janet do you remember all my moaning and crying thinking this surgery wasn't going to work for me?? Well take it from me people IT DOES WORK. Just give it some time you'll be getting down there before you know it. My health has been good. I do have a low TSH which means that my thyroid is hyperactive and producing too much endocrine hormone. I really don't know how serious this is. I can't seem to get into te dr to address it yet. I am understanding that one of the side effects from this is weight loss so I am hoping that maybe this isn't a bad thing and it can help me along the way until we get it fixed. I also moved while I was in school and still have to go over and clean the old house. I love my new house and have been enjoying my big kitchen and cooking for my family. Janet and Mel I hope you are both feeling a little better today. I wanted to ask both of you what are we oing to do about our tummy tucks now that Dr. Scott is no longer with Mo Bariatrics??? I am in need of ideas for this. I told him that was one reason I didn't want to have surgery and he ahd told me we could fix it. So now I have this big apron and it's only going to get more unsightly with the next 75 pounds I plan on losing. Jan, I hope you are doing well from the sounds of it you are pulling through this as if you only had a hangnail!! I miss you all terribly and please plan on seeing alot more of me for the next few weeks. For all the new losers congrats and for all waiting it'll be here before you know it. I am praying for all my friends here. Hugs

Hello Missouri,
COF was wonderful last night. Such fun with all the food and the gift exchange.
Janet and Mel, you guys coming from Joplin makes it so special for the rest of us but I know you pay the price in pain. I'm really praying that both of you will have pain lifted in 2008. That's my New Year's wish.
Glenda, you are soooooo tiny. You are melting away for sure.
Glenna, we appreciate all your efforts for us more than we ever remember to tell you. You have kept our hearts together and we thank you.
Fran, great salmon patties. Gonna make some this week.
Jan, you looked wonderful and I can't believe how well you are getting around. We knew nothing could keep you down for long.
Sugar, you looked so beautiful with the fluffy sweater. I remember how afraid I was when you were so sick and I thank God for his tender mercies to you.
Tami, you looked wonderful, as usual, the the pecans were spectacular.
Tina, what an effort you made to be with us. Thanks.
Jean, I'm praying for you today for your GB surgery.
I know I've missed a couple (or more) but I love you all and wish each of you a blessed day and week.
I'm going to DD's on Thursday so probably won't be on much until after my shoulder surgery on 12/28. Keep me in your prayers - I'm dreading this much more than my Bypass. Silly old woman!!!
Again, I love you all - you are more than friends, you are family to me.
Hugs,
Lana

Good morning OH, I haven't posted in a while it's been a crazy week! Friday I was driving and tried to come to a stop at a light and my break peddle went all the way to the floor and I couldn't hardly stop. I slid about 10-15 feet before my car stopped almost ended up in the middle of the intersection. I took my car yesterday to see what was wrong and both the back wheel cyclinders were out which caused me to lose all my break fulid that's why the peddle went to the floor. Well needless to say it costed $245 to fix which really bites at this time of year so now I'm depressed!!! I only have to work today then I'm off until Jan. 2nd It's nice to have the time off but because I'm only part-time I don't get paid for being off like everyone else does which is really a bum deal. I work for a christian college and you would think that they would take better care of their employees then what they do. I have not been in the Christmas spirit this year for some reason? I thought putting up the tree would help well got that done this weekend and I'm still bummed out about the holidays and I'm not sure why? Well, I really missed not going the our meeting last night cause it was called off. I probably won't get to go to the Jan. meeting cause my surgery is on the 21st? I can't believe I only have a month before my surgery I guess I just want to hurry up and get it over with at this point. I have been at this for almost a year and I just want it over with. I start my liquid diet on the 8th and I go for my preassessment on the 7th. I just hope that that weather holds out and it doesn't snow/ice on the days I have to travel to Sedalia!!!!!!! I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and a safe one! Bev~

Hello All, Jan, I have to agree......Last night's COF meeting was so much fun. That's what I wanted it to be for everone......just a fun, Christmas party with our supportive friends. As I was sitting there last night, at one point I just took time to look around the room at everybody that was there, and it struck me how this group is so much more than just a Bariatric Support Group. Not only is it a place that we meet and support each other, but such friendship bonds have been made. I love and care for you all. To the ones that weren't able to attend last night, you were thought of and missed. All the food that was brought last night was so good. I liked everything that I tasted. I really enjoyed tasting the different dishes and finding out who brought what, and how they made it. We are all still good cooks......that hasn't changed........we've just learned to cook a different way than we used to, and still make things that are good for us but, so enjoyable The gift exchange was fun too. Thanks to Lana, and the rule to the game that I didn't know about.....sure made it work in my favor huh? lol Thanks Lana I also want to say a great big THANKS to Joe and Jan for getting there early last night and THANKS JOE for all your help in setting up the tables and getting the room in order. That pocket knife of yours sure came in handy too. lol Thanks also to Janet and Mel for providing the silverware & plates, etc for all of us. Girls we were so happy to see you, but so sorry that the trip was so difficult for you. I hope you are both doing better today. Jean, you are in my thoughts and prayers today as you are having the gall bladder surgery, but we were sure glad that you and Bob were able to come last night. To each of you, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2008! See you all at the COF meeting in January. Hugs to all, Glenna

Afternoon everyone I've been busy today and just now getting here. Jan: no, the children did not have school yesterday; but they did today. So I'm trying to catch up with things I need to do. I've got a migraine this afternoon and am not feeling so great. It slows me down and I need to GO! Darn migraines.

Glad you all had a great COF meeting/party!! Sounds like fun.

Have a great evening everyone!
