Howdy

WOW the month of may has just flown by. Some of you know that Thurs is my last day to teach at MBC. or is it ? Long story short i am trying to get my cdl for school bus driver but every time i turn i got a bump in the road. Well Friday i went and thought ok this is the day ........Well 500.00 later i am getting glasses this week because i failed the eye exam. SO i am starting to wonder if this is a SIGN.......... you know the redneck comedian HERE IS YOUR SIGN lolol.


Kids are excited we joined lifetime fitness gym this week. They are having a ball at the child's center. I am considering putting them in swim lessons(god help me lol) . I joined a one month free pass for the gym's weight loss group its ok but i think i could do more on my own. SO i will go and finish the month with them and see what or how i feel after wards.

As far as my weight loss its a stopping point right now. But its ok i have all summer to push my self i am setting a goal that by my birthday (July 22) i loose the 18lbs that i have to go to get to 200lbs. Can i do it i am going to give it all i got this summer to make it happen.


Good note or a WOW moment i have went down from a 32 in waist size down to a 18 waist size (workout clothes) . YIPPIE ME


Off to finish cleaning i feel asleep at 530 last night (guess i am tired lol) and just woke up at 2am so the house work i didn't get to do i am doing now lol .



Sweet Wed
Juliet

WHOS THAT GIRL

Karley Ann 2009

Two of her favorite teachers

YIPPIE

Waving to mom lol

What a cuite pie (or i think so lol)

Karley doing the bible pledge

hard tough questions parents must have answers too ........

I am learning to explain things more detail as my children are getting older. When they were young you could get away with " I dont know son/daughter" now you cant do that. Because as their age grows their little question mentor turns on and it just doesnt turn off.


Karley Mom when i die you die and go to heaven will you still be my mom?
Mom OF course you are my baby girl
Karley When i become older will i be your baby girl?
Karley When i die will i be your baby girl?
Karley WHen you die will i be your baby girl?
karley When we are in heaven will i bee your baby girl?
karley WHen i get in heave will i see my hermit crab?
karley IS HEAVEN BORING???

MOm .......... uhmmmmm (so i sat and told her YES YES YES) . and the last question NO WAY is it going to be boring.
THen i went on to explain heaven etc.

Boy i sure am not ready for the teenage LIFE LoL.


Raising kids isnt easy but someones got to get them on the path to heaven. I wouldnt want to be living now if i knew my kids didnt know about death, jesus, heaven etc.
SO i am going to start reading more bible stories to my kids and with them going to church etc i am hoping they learn more. I believe every child has a right to learn their up bringing beliefs .
I cant wait to see Bailey (son) when he gets back from church camp in august. He will be attending by himself and its the same camp i got saved at and i learned ALOT .


have a great tues

Mother days pictures 2009

I had a great mother's day . Here are a few pictures. These pictures are in my moms front yard. She has a green thumb...........i didnt gain that from her up bringing lol.

Enjoy

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

This is my wonderful mom with all her kids but one(michael my nephew wasnt here that day) . My mom is my backbone . She would give a stranger her pair of shoes if they didnt have any. My kids just adore my mom. She is always there for them when they are hurt or need a extra minute with granny. My mom has taught me ALOT and i treasure every minute of it. She is my best friend i can tell her anything and she will give the best of advice. I LOVE YOU MOM Happy MOTHERS DAY .............love your daughter Juliet

Do something special for your mother this weekend. She will enjoy it. IF its just a call saying how much you love her or a visit............Those memories will always be treasured in a mothers heart.



HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

ps Oh yeah that picture of me (gray shirt) is way before surgery YIKES i look nothing like that so i guess i will take new pictures of me and mom tomorrow and post

I cant believe i am saying this

Yes, I cant believe i am fixing to say this .............I am getting tired of hearing ......... GIRL you are loosing so much weight....... Girl you look great how did you do it . ....... Girl your clothes is falling off (like i don't know this ) ..........the comments keep rolling. Ok now i am not saying i don't like hearing it but it does get old quick. I love the comments but when they are repeated daily it does get old. I then thank the people for the nice comments.............then i get told OH yeah i knew someone who had that surgery blah blah blah. So now i think i came up with a plan i am just going to start telling folks i am eating right and taking my vitamins and making right choices for a better life. I am not lying to them i am telling the truth i am doing better in choices and that's why the weight is coming off. Ok not sure why this post looks so funny . So i will write later. For some reason its not letting me make spaces............ strange love Juliet

GOOD MORNING

Wow i have so many wows to say i don't know where to start.
First i am 20lbs from my next goal (which is to get to 200).
I had to return a gown because it was TOO BIG (this is the first ) and i got a Large because that's all they had ................and IT FITS lol.

I have noticed i am eating better and making better choices then i have ever have since surgery.

I went to Central Market and my best friend and me FELL IN LOVE with that store. So we are making a trip again this weekend. They have so many things there that i can eat. YES Kroger's Heb has foods i can eat but they don't have alot of foods high in protein and Cm has lots of nuts, granola, etc that Kroger's doesn't carry. Plus being a wls patient we eat alot of cheese. Well at Cm they have over 700 cheese to choose from and alot of them are high in protein .(so this is a plus for me ) . But overall i love that place and its alot cheaper then Wholefoods . At Cm they do carry alot of things that Kroger's would as for as Wf they carry JUST their stuff.

Ok i will get off that subject lol.
Well this week is going to be great i have a meeting on Tues night one tonight then after that i am free.

I didn't get to take my cdl test as i planned because at 1030 Thurs the sitter called and said she couldn't watch Karley . SO i am going to try in the next two weeks to get it done.

Please keep Russell in prayers he is thinking of going into business on his one (owning his own truck ) . I have alot of concerns but i can only give it to god to help Russell to make the right choice.


Ok off to work
have a great day
Julie

WHAT A WEEKEND (camping )

Ok folks when they say 20% of rain ................that really MEANS FLASH FLOOD from the woodworks.


I have been so excited to going camping. So since i am co chair of the program we had to be out there day early (fri). SO all day friday i packed just with so much excitment i couldnt wait . Finally its the big time to GET OUT there.............YEAH we are going camping.............

Well we get out there the wind is blowing 90 to nothing so a sweet boy helps me set up my two room large .........ok giant tent. So every other thought wasnt nice to the wind but we did it had to use rope but hey i got a tent UP .. YIPPIE ...............

Well its getting dark (ok its probably because its 7ish ) NOT because we are under 20% of rain . Well we will just sit in the tent for a while no biggie. Well WRONG again . SO we grab the two rolls of paper towels and start putting it by the doors because its leaking in my tent because of the way my tent is made (ARGGGG). no biggie got it taken care of >>>>>>>>>NOT so lets grab a blanket that will stop the rain ...............NOT .......ok lets grab my jacket and stop the water....................NOT ok this point i told Bailey take your shirt off. Of course i heard MOMMM .................JUST DO IT ............. so that still didn't work and at this time of the excitement i have a lake about 15 feet or so RIGHT behind my tent(thinking camping by a lake oh how nice it would be etc ) So now we are about 2hours into this rain pour(remember its only 20% ) and i am freaking out by now. SO they are rescuing us in a 4x4 truck. Well it was feeling like it was taking FOREVER to be rescued. I start calling my Co chair fussing and crying and freaking with her GET ME OUT OF HERE. I had two boys in my tent (one decided he would roll over and take a nap .... my son) and the other one was s trooper and helping me hold the tent and etc.


WELL by the time we got rescued out..........it was about 3hours from the time it started. There was ankle deep water in my tent and around outside. Remember the ONE lake i told you about well afterwards and today (when we went back out there to get the stuff ) it was more like 5 lakes that had no where to go . SO of course we canceled the event (DUH i wasn't swimming around doing Dino events ) . SO we made it home safe around midnight . Well i take the stuff to moms (she has a big yard ) and we lay it all out to dry and now guess what happen around 4 today when we got back from eating.................................YES YOU got it RAINED........so now my stuff is still sitting out in the rain (tent, tables, etc ) .......

SO that's my weekend. I wasn't happy when all this took place and i have never prayed so hard in my life like i did last night. Now we are laughing about all the crazy things that took place.

So do you think your weekend was better then mind i would love to hear it .lol

SO this is my famous camping trip i will never forget.. I have been camping for two years i have copper head and bats around my tent, extreme cold weather hot weather, ..........BUT this one topped it all . I think what made it the worest the wind was a nightmare to deal with .



Well off to clean house and get ready for my tupperware show tomorrow (pray i do great ) .
ALso pray that i pass my written test on friday for my new job.

ps YES i will still go camping . Yes i still love camping.


LOVE YA GALS ,
Juliet

YES i am alive lol

Sorry i been MIA. I have had a week from .............oh i wont go there lol. Lets just say its been a week i hope i dont have to redo again. Good thing though is i KNOW God will help me make the RIGHT choices, will be there FOR ME, and WONT let me have too much to handle in life with out his help of guideness.


This weekend we are camping .........i am excited i love camping only part i wont get to shower until sunday..............hahhaha want to smell me lol.

Diet is there ........going to start a soup or say a very light diet (raw veggies, soups, water, water, water, ) the scale is moving up and down between a freaking ONE pound.. SO i will be on a mission next week to GET IT DOWN DOWN lol.

Kids are great . They are getting excited for camps. I love summer and camping. I am so glad i am blessed that i can do tons of things in the summer with my kids instead of just sitting at home and playing in the yard. Its night to stay home but its great when your kids can explore what God has given us.

Steven .... My mentor , My OH angel. GREAT

PawPaw

I was told today that it would of been my PawPaw's 97th Birthday today. My grandfather passed at age 87 (then two months later my father ). You dont realize how much those people have impacted your life until they are gone.

I find my self sometimes doing things that my grandfather and father did rather its cooking, gardening (my new thing in life ), talking, or even thinking or watching tv.

My grandfather didnt know a stranger (just like my father or me at that ) . He was liked by everyone. HE LOVED to jigger bug (its cajun dancing) but in his own way so of course it was funny to watch him. The man had a green thumb out of this world. HE loved to be out in the sun gardening . He was in the war and served in WW2. There will never be enough words to express what that man MET to me.
I LOVE YOU PAWPAW and one day i will see you and dad in heaven. .........LOVE YOU GUYS LOTS



PS if you havent told your love ones how much they mean to you DO IT you never know when its your time or theirs...........




Juliet

70lbs GONE

howdy

Wow i have tons to chat about but not enough time to .

so here is a few things

1. HE IS RISEN .........

2. I have had a sore throat for last few days and it seems to be getting worst so please pray that it goes way .


3. The children's father came home (unexpected work related) so the kids got to spend lots of time with him and me. The bunny came on Friday night here .


4. My weekend is going great got a bill changed so hoping it will save on money. .. I have been cutting back on alot of things and bills are the first thing to go lol.

5. WE had Easter dinner early since russ was home at my mom's it was so much fun. Then mom and me went to walmart . Its so fun to just have those few mins with your mom no matter where it is .


6. Monday i am taking my test for CDL please say a small prayer i pass it .

7. I only have 6 weeks left of teaching . I a sad but happy at the same time. I love teaching and wish i could do it more but after 15 years the money just isn't there for me to help on my part of the bills so i must move on to something that is full time and more money. I will miss my co workers - friends but its something that has to be done. I know the lord will bless me and my family in this transition .

8. My labs came back low on Vitamin D (already bought some extra to take) good on iron and high on something that helps my liver function but been told this is normal so we will see

9 WOW lot above well you all have a great day . I am off to baby this throat (if there is such a thing lol) .

Juliet

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year o ld son waiting for him at the door.SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?' DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?'the mansaid angrily.SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down andstarted to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started tothink:Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said theman.'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

howdy

WOW

It's been a while since i posted. I hope you are all doing well. Well i am staying home today with a sick baby girl . She has had fever now for a soild day now and going on second day .

I have never (well that i can remember ) this small..I went to the doctor yesterday and he wants me to get to 165 with bmi of 30 or less.............i told him he was nuts my goal was 140 with bmi 24 ............ so guess i will let my body decide where it wants to be on the scale of weight. I redid my blood work yesterday now i just have to wait for it to come back. Thanks

Taking Chance

I just finished watching a movie called TAKING CHANCE. oh my gosh i cried threw the whole thing (main actor was Kevin Bacon) it was about a fallen soliders death and funeral.


I dont think any of us as americans really know what our men and women go threw out in those war zones . Yeah we know from history books, tv, and families who have had members in the service....................but do we really know what they go threw . I dont know and after watching this short movie i dont know if i really want to know .


Give thanks to our service folks if you see them in or out of uniform.............they dont make alot of money and they work harder then we all do in their job fields to keep us safe.


GOD BLESS our service folks

SATURADAY

GOOD MORNING

I am up got some vitamins in me. Yesterday wasnt great with my migrane but today will be awesome. We are bleaching my house, i am washing my bedding, cleaning, getting my tupperware stuff ready for my party on sat in baytown. I am planning to walk with someone this morning from my support group . My headache is gone finally.

Scale this morning

237

so so far my scale says 59 lbs lost WOHOOO

my next goal is to get to 200 which i am hoping by may i get there.

Ok yall go out and enjoy the weather today

JULIET

WINNER IS

Kim H guessed 45

and Sheila guessed 50 at the first then went to 42

(yall were the closest i couldnt just pick one )
SO THE WINNER IS>......................... BOTH of YOU WOHOOO


Kim please email me your home address to Misskittysmother@aol.com

Sheila i will get your prize soon


NOW guess you want to know what i lost lol


According to the doctors scale it was 240 i started my journey at 296 so 56 lost according to his scale.

According to my scale i weigh 237 meaning i lost so far 59 lbs

So i think i wil just stick to my scale reading lolol


Thanks for guessing
Juliet

Doctor visit

Ok back

Still have a migrane but i think its getting better.


Ok Doctor visit went well. I had to get blood work done again . So i am hoping everything comes out well . I go back on June4

I told the doc how i hate and cant get protein shakes down me. HE said he would rather me eat high protein foods instead of drinking calories that are good and bad. So my intake of protein should be no less then 40 mg up to 60mg a day .

Also my goal is to weigh 140 the doctor said thats too low (i am not listening llalalalal ) lol he said he wants me to get down to 165 that would put me at a 30bmi or less.

According to my weight goal and bmi (24) would be skin and bones because of my height
So i am going to just go with the flow and see where i end up at.


SO last last last call any more guess
I will post in morning


hint two i am close to meeting one of the goals of lost in weight................


Juliet

OK vibes from my doc

Well i went to doctor i got great answers and not so nice scale answers lol


But i have a major migraine so i am going to lay down ( i havent eaten all day )

But houston time tonight i will post the winner...................HINT some of you arent right on your answers you can guess again ..................but you all are very close
One guess under this post please.


Talk tonight
Juliet

TODAY IS THE DAY

Today is the big day ............... My three month check up (actually its 2 and half months ) I am so excited....................but not happy i woke up and weighted more then i did yesterday lol. I gained about 8oz or more .................so my goal today is walking , this weekend is walking to get to that big milestone i am trying to reach (shhh cant tell until i get back lol)


My goal for the next week is to drink my 64ozs every day ...............i have been bad i havent drunk anything else since dec 29th and its getting old ............i have tasted things but i havent actually drunk a glass of anything besides water.

Also my goal is to do more with the kids .......... even if its just reading a book or spending time in their room (NOW THAT THEY ARE CLEAN>>>>>>>>>THANKS TO ME ) lol

Ok guys cross your fingers for me i weight less at the doctors scales (his scale is always right lol)


Have a great FRIDAY
JULIET

Tupperware Recipe (chicken)

Ok guys
(bottome picture is what it looked like going in ) then salsa then the cooked chicken then the oval baker i hate blogger the pictures are always mixed up )
I sell Tupperware and they have somthing called Oval Cooker......... if you dont have one you NEED ONE ........ Ok for those that know me i hate .....let me say it again I HATE touching raw meat..........even if it doesnt have legs and feet lol..

SO here it goes

You take a Whole chicken 3-4 lbs clean and wash it (thanks hubby )
Then you stick it in your oval cooker
Put your choice of seasons on it . ( YES SHEILA I TOUCHED THE DEAD THING LOL )
cilantro
onion(half of one in side and then cut up rest and layed around it )
Rubbed our Tupperware Seasoning on it

Then you put the oval lid on it
and throw that sucker in the microwave and cook it for 35mins
Now my chicken at my show was way smaller maybe a 2-3 lbs chicken and it cooked in 35mins well this one was 5lb chicken so we put it in there for about 45mins
and YUMMY

after we eat it tonight i will save rest and make chicken salad like i did last time.


Also i made homemade salsa with the same tupperware seasoning
YUMMY

Tues

Well i did loose a pound (wish it was more after all that walking i did ) lol

So Friday is my day to the doctor........... Remember the contest

It goes like this
How much do you think the doctors scale will say i have lost since my journey began in Dec?

If you are the closest to weight lost on sat morning at 8am Houston time) you just might get a surprise in your mail.

SO WHATS YOUR GUESS (post under this post in comments) .

Juliet

Rodeo (I DID IT )

Ok we take the kids to the rodeo(carnival and petting zoo etc stuff ) and i walked the WHOLE DANG PLACE ...........even a two and half hour walk going back and forth in same place because my two kids and their father didn't listen to us when we said STAY HERE ..............OK that's whole another story lolol . But last year i sat MOST of the time while the kids rode or done activities because my back would hurt or my stomach would give me trouble etc. This year I WALKED THE WHOLE PLACE from 8ish this morning until 4ish today . Now i might of walked the whole time but i did come home with the MOST soreness legs and feet of my time...........but no back pain no sickness............... YIPPIE.

I am wind burn but i had the best time with family and my special sweet mom.

So hoping the scale shows all this walking in the morning lolol

Have a great Monday evening
Juliet

before and after at 48lbs lost

SPRING BREAK

Hope you all have a wonderful break. I have lots to do this week (including the doctor) but i might have to change the date though due to reason.



TODAY I have hit a HUGH MILESTONE in my weight lost................can you guess?


Dont forget the contest for friday i will still do it even if i reschedule my appt. So far someone was a little close but since then i have lost more......


JULIET

You will never be forgotten .........DAD

My heart is heavy but at the same time i know my father is in a better place then we are in . He left this world (march 9Th ) 9 years ago yesterday to be with our savior. I don't think you can ever let it go that your loved one is gone. I miss him more today then i did yesterday . Every day goes by and i wish he could of seen my kids born, me get married, me having wlsurgery. etc the list goes on. But i know though he wasn't here in person i know he was with me threw out my years of life in spirit.


My dad was a hard person to get along with but he was one of the MOST giving person i have ever met. (that's where i get my big heart from ) . My dad was far from being perfect but he had a rough life in his young years and i believe that had to do with how he was as a father and husband . Every one has their problems I know i am not perfect but i know i can learn from my mistakes and keep moving on because my lord will forgive me and help me move on the right way in life.


I LOVE YOU DAD. I miss hearing your cajun music every weekend, miss your cooking, miss your jokes.........the list goes on. I LOVE YOU


LOVE YOU DADDY

Juliet

GOOD MORNING,

I am doing WONDERFUL. I had my grand opening last night for my Tupperware business. I am so grateful for the ones that came and had fun and ate some YUMMY chicken and salsa and potatoes and cake right out of the micro steamer set. I also have two bookings from this party so please say a prayer that my business will keep growing. I am really wanting to help our finances some since Russell's company got a pay cut. Please pray for my new job i will take after May. I will be driving a Bus and i just pray i can drive that big YELLOW THING LOL.

I am doing well on wls (weight surgery) . yesterday i just didn't feel well at all not sure what that was all about. So today i am going to run few errands then come home and enjoy the kids and my clean home and work on my Tupperware stuff .

If you would like to order please let me know .

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON

Its been 8 years since i gave Birth to my First born. I still remember that day like if it happen today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY


Well i am doing ok .Today and this weekend i don't know its been kinda of hard for me. I am missing my Dad alot . I don't know if its because of valentines or because he was never there to see my son born. I also think it has to do with my weight lost. IF he had taken care of his self better he would probably be here today. (though heart issues run in the corbello family ). I know he would be proud of me if he was alive with my weight lost choice. Some folks like to judge people who consider doing the Weight lost surgery ........ they say its the easy way out.........BUT ITS NOT. We struggle more now then when we were fat and barley moving.


I am doing well I had a very bad case of vomiting yesterday but i think it had to do with what i tried to eat. So yesterday i probably didn't even eat two bites all day .

But i am doing vitamins today, water and soup . I am loving the new me.



I am starting a contest. On March 20Th (the day i go to the doctor) if you can guess how much i weigh (doctors scale) you will get a 25.00 surprise in your mail.

SO be watching .


OK off to finish file cabinet cleaning (never knew it held that much stuff)
Happy SUNDAY
Juliet

OH WOW

That's the exact words i said this morning when i pulled out my mail from the ins company.

The hospital bill was 52925.00 YES YOU READ THAT right 52K YIKES
that didn't include the doctor's charge of 37k

so with all my prescreening stuff before surgery , and hospital , doctor

i am close to 95,000 for this surgery i had.

NOW before you think i am RI Ch and i can pay all that ..............NOT i only had to pay about 3,000 which is in payments for the new few months..........

WOW is still in my mouth lol.

So see sometimes makes me wonder why this world is starving when doctors, hospitals can charge for this crazy stuff like this.





OFF TO clean more house lol

Juliet

Good Morning

Hi yall,

I am well and excited that Friday is just around the corner. Today Karley has her party at school and I have mine in my classroom. Bailey's has his tomorrow and he is excited that i get to go. Last few parties i had to miss because of the day it landed on . I think its very important to be with your child during these times and their events at school. Now days there are very few parents who are involved in their child's activities because of crazy reasons. I understand most parents have jobs they cant take off work but i think its important to show your kid you take the time for them for their school events. Bailey might be getting tested for GT(gifted and talented class) at the end of the year. I am still deciding if i want him to take this route. Gt class use to be known as a SMART KIDS CLASS but as it was explained to me yesterday ITS NOT. It's for children who need a boost of a challenge or a child who can do well in other areas beside (reading, math etc) . I have heard enough comments to make me sick from family and friends already . I don't know what i am going to do but i was shocked when three of the teachers said YES to him getting tested. They are with him every day so they know more then i do what he needs. This has nothing to do with him repeating first grade. He is still on a first grade level though he is repeating. He will be moving up to second grade no matter what he does this year. He will also be in his therapy class next year too and its really helping him alot.
Well that's enough on that just pray that we as a family and teachers make the right decisions when it comes closer to test him .

As far as weight i have lost another Pound (YIPPIE) so now i am total 41lbs lighter.


Well that's about it Have a great Thursday

Love
Juliet

IF i see one more holiday item i will

SCREAM................. Valentine's is so hard for me.


I am home today with karley who had 102 fever this morning but we got home and got meds down and you would never know she had fever arggg kids.


So i am spring cleaning i redid my stockpile stuff in the wash room , cleaned out the pantry .

Now in my room cleaning (GROSS LOL) i want to change it but living in this home is just about impossible .


I am just in a grumpy mood this week. I have a few things on my mind but sometimes it doesnt pay to express them nobody would understand.........and yes my wls has some what to do with it .



Well i am ok as for as the dieting and surgery stuff going. I still am never hungry i some times have to make my self eat. I get tired of eating the same things over.

Well thats about all off to write a friend and get the letter in the mail soon.


LOVE YALL

NOt much to post. Just tired of choas etc. I just wish people would LISTEN to your concerns and not brush them off or make excusses. WHen you try to talk to someone about the issue ...... you wonder if they are even caring to listen the way they answer you back.. Guess i am not in the CLICK i am going to just stay to myself and hope for better things to come. . I am just in one of my moods i guess. Scale isnt moving ( its moving just not fast enough) , still having issues with foods and now i just dont want to eat i look at food and it just gags me. I pack my lunch i open it and i just get this sick feeling...............Gosh when will the mental thing ever stop .

IT was cold and some times sprinkled on us but it wasn't going to stop us. (SO that was 2 miles we walked ) . Then i came home and my best friend keivn called and we (kids and me) went with him to the car show. Well of course its packed so we parked way out in space . Then we had to walk for ever to get to the reliant center. By the time we got to the show my legs were killing me . SO i walked for about 2ish hours then karley was getting sleepy so her and me sat down while the boys looked at the cars. Then we leave to go to olive garden.... it was full,then we go to pappesitos(spelling) it was full.........so we go south freeway that olive garden full...........so we ended up on 1-10 to that pappas by this time it was 9.00 karley is so sleepy she wouldnt eat her giant icecream she got. Bailey and me brought our food home . SO we slepted in this morning.


Today i am cleaning house and then we are going to los amigos to visit with my angel STEVEN (LOOK I SAID YOUR NAME LOLOL ) and Donna too so i can get our scout fair tickets stuff. (ANYONE WANT TO BUY TICKETS LOL)

Then i am coming home and resting . SO i hope you all had a great day .

Juliet

Just bummed

Ok i am just down today. I am tired of not able to get food down. i will eat something chew it until its nothing and boom i am in pain and going to the bathroom to face the bottom of the trash can or toliet. I am fixing to just say forget food and just drink water the rest of my life. NO i am not saying i regret i had surgery its the best thing that could of happen to my body and me. But dang it its like nightmare figuring out what i can keep down and not. Its just driving me NUTS. So thats why i didnt post anymore menu's up this week because yall probably would of fussed because the things i have eaten probably dont even fill two large baby food jars. I know this is just part of the surgery process i must go threw but dang it i dont know what else to eat besides EGGS.

Guess i will start talking like a chicken laying eggs. lolol


Ok now since i fussed on here i feell better.................


Thank god my angel keeps my spirts up for me. He is such a great person. He knows what i am going threw so he can relate and tell me things. (yes i know some of you are on diets and i am sooooooooooo proud of you all but having wls is so much different then a diet plan or program. )


Well you all have awesome weekend I will be walking with my wls buddies in clear lake sat, hitting krogers sales, going to walmart and cleaning house what a weekend lol


LOVE YA
JULIET

I HAVE A HIP BONE

Breakfast water , lunch meat ham(piece of it ) and some cheese

Snack water (peach)

Lunch Homemade chicken soup (my stepfather made for me YUMMY) ,

DOCTOR SAID SO LOl

Well yesterday went to doc. I have lost according to his scale 28.8 lbs which is gone for life.

I am off my Blood pressure meds as well. I still take nexium and list of vitamins . So all is well. I am having troubles on eating still but that is expected. My stomach is learning all over again to accept foods and sadly some foods i just wont be able to eat anymore. But its ok iam sure i will eat new things that i have never ate before and will enjoy and be healthier.


This weekend not sure what we are doing since its so cold. I do know i will be hitting up Heb and Krogers for their AWESOME sales. ANd i am hoping i can go to the farmers market but not sure yet.

So thats about all i am feeling good besides a minor back pain . My clothes is fitting loose but not a whole bunch yet.

JULIET

HOME from surgery

Well surgery was not until 1pm ish and i came out of recovery around 5ish. I had some set backs i was not able to SIP a sip of water or i would gag ten times so The doctor took me off all liquids. We tried again on wed same thing so i was taken off AGAIN off of all liquids .


(at this time i wasnt the happy cajun girl i would normally be.) I guess you can say i might of been a little in the regretfull mood. I asked my self that night WHY did i do this ? Was this the right thing? IF its going to be this hard to drink what was the point. WEll of course i have great family and support angel and friends and if i want a longer life with them and my children then i had to do this FOR ME . I know what its like to be fat as a child and adult and i was tired and i didnt want to deal with that anymore. SO YES i know i made the right choice of having this surgery. I have a great doctor and a new support group family . So i finally hit a mile stone and was able to get things down on thurs (AMEN) and i came home to my wonderful kids and my home and i have enjoyed being home and just waiting for the healing process to end. I am eating creams of soups, liquids and cant forget the sugarfree popsicles lol. On 13th i go to the doctor and that will be the week i start blending foods to the texture of babyfood. I cant wait.

Heres my breakdown
Took me 4weeks to get all my screens done and aproved by ins
2weeks liquids diet
then surgery
Not everyones surgery will happen this quick but it can.

My weight status
started my journey with 296.6 (YIKES)
liquid diet for two weeks before surgery and the morning of surgery 276.0
i lost 20lbs on the liquid diet (yes i cheated on xmas day but i only had ONE teaspoon of foods at moms )

I am looking for a exciting 2009 and i hope your 2009 will be as great as mine.
May GOd bless you in everything you do

LOVE
JULIET

ps i do have surgery pictures but they will be posted later



HAPPY NEW YEAR
