Thank you ladies and gents,

So many of you have signed up for the recipe forum.  Weve had over 120 just from OH join.

 

Ive gotten so many new recipes from all of you.  I got a new new idea there for  a talopia  with black bean salsa that was awesome from one of your recipes.There are so many recipes now I could try a new one everyday for the rest of my life I think.

I have sent out over 120 invites now and I even won a mixer from Kitchenaid on tuesday for so many ppl joining.  I dont need it since I already have 2.  So I promised it to give it to a lady on here that recently lost her job and had signed up.  I hope she enjoys it.

02/08 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When we first stopped drinking, using, over-eating, or gambling, it was an enormous relief to find that the people we met in The Program seemed quite different than those apparently hostile masses known as "They."  We were met not with criticism and suspicion, but with understanding and concern.  However, we still encounter people who get on our nerves, both within The Program and outside it.  Obviously, we must begin to accept the fact that there ARE people who'll sometimes say things with which we disagree, or do things we don't like.  AM I BEGINNING TO SEE THAT LEARNING TO LIVE WITH DIFFERENCES IS ESSENTIAL TO MY COMFORT AND, IN TURN, TO MY CONTINUING RECOVERY?

TODAY I PRAY
May I recognize that people's differences make our world go around and tolerate people who "rub me the wrong way."  May I understand that I must give them room, that some of my hostile attitudes toward others may be leftovers from the unhealthy days when I tended to view others as mobilized against me.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Learn to live with differences.

Try Miralax, Senna, DOSS(this is a stool softener) Milk of Mag.  Warm Prune juice....ya I know it's nasty but my old folks swear by it.  Try a combo of these things.  Don't take them all.  Maybe start with DOSS(Docusate Sodium) then do Miralax daily....helps me when I am stuck

 

I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:)  After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great!  Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should.  Now it's my turn to lose this weight!  It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!

Good Morning OH'ers It's FRIDAY! !

Today I am grateful..

For the things in my life that make me think..

For being able to watch a hero of mine Pat Summitt win her 1000th game..

That I am able to live with myself..

For the people in my life that make me realize I am not so bad..

For good comments on the video Yvonne did of me on the www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com

SONG OF THE WEEK..

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT BY THE ROLLING STONES..

I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

02-05 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
If I am troubled, worried, exasperated or frustrated, do I tend to rationalize the situation and lay the blame on someone else?  When I am in such a state, is my conversation punctuated with, "HE did..,"  "SHE said..," "THEY did..,"?  Or can I honestly admit that perhaps I'm at fault.  My peace of mind depends on overcoming my negative attitudes and tendency toward rationalization.  WILL I TRY , DAY BE DAY, TO BE RIGOROUSLY HONEST WITH MYSELF?

TODAY I PRAY
May I catch myself as I talk in the third person, "He did..." or "They promised.." or "She said she would.." and listen for the blaming that has become such a pattern for me and preserves delusion.  May I do a turnabout and face myself instead.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Honesty is the ONLY policy.



Personal request..  a dear friend of mine is struggling with her own emotions as her son struggles with his addiction.  If anyone.. everyone.. can keep them in your thoughts right now, I would appreciate it.  Her name is Kim.  I think I have her convinced to go to an Alanon meeting and I will go with her.  Keep her in thoughts that she will go please!!

Thank YOU

RNY on 03/13/09 with
Topic: RE: Bi Polar more intensive since WLS?
My husband had RNY on June 25, 2009 and is down 155 pounds. I would have thought this would be an exciting time in his life, and it was for the first 5 months or so, but now he is one of the deepest depressions I've ever witnessed.  Normally he is outgoing and fun loving.  For the last month and a half he has been mopping around, not going anywhere, gets anxious around people, and has become obsessive about being around me all the time.  He is going to his psych doctor and is on Zoloft for the depression, but he is bipolar.  They had him on depokene (liquid form of depokote), but it wasn't touching his depression.  They will put him back on that as soon as he is leveled out, but this adjustment has been over two weeks now and I'm not seeing an improvement.  I'm really starting to worry that he isn't going to pull out of this.  I can't help but feel it has something to do with the RNY surgery and the major changes to his body.  Does anyone have information on this type of thing as it relates to the chemical imbalance that may be going on here?

Topic: Gotta have surgery
I am finally scheduled for sinus surgery in two weeks, on the 18th.  I have been sick since October with this disgusting infection.  I have concerns about the surgery, due to my history with relapsing with alcoholism just prior to my hernia surgery 13 months ago. 

I have other things to talk about, but I am too beat and tired to go into it tonight...hopefully tomorrow I will be able to write about my group therapy nightmare.

Take care.

Hugs,
Trish
