it has been along time since I've been here. I am down 100 pounds but seem to be stuck here. I haven't really been concentrating on losing though. I haven't been losing but also have not been gaining. looking forward to seeing my son and possibly but it is a long shot my daughter for thanksgiving. We are going to my brothers in andover ma. going up by train and will have a ride home. I am working or at least i'm scheduled 13 hours this week may work more is asked.. I also got a crockpot and am using it tomorrow for the first time I'm making chicken in a peanut sauce. I'm working till 5pm but have to go to rite aid and pick upa few things at my work. other that that nothing new just grooving ot some christmas music.
I know it has been along time so to get up to date. I am down almost 55 pounds since July 3rd. I am feeling great and able to walk once again. the only thing that has me down is that my daughter has decided to push me out of her life. After I had the surgery I sent an email to family members saying how disappointed i was with my children as they didn't get in touch or come see me after I had they surgery or since then and my daughter had a fit. Now everyone I sent that email too asked me where they kids were after visitiing me in the hospital or calling me daily. so it was nothing new for them to know how I was feeling. So i sent an apology with an explaination to my daughter and I hope she responds in a good way about it. I love her but she does hold a grudge and she is stubborn. For some reason she thinks I am in a contest with her late father as to how many medical procedures I am having. Her father dies last year and was very sick and in the hospital quite a bit. She sent me an emiail comparing me to him and I didn't like that. I did this surgery to improve my health and it is getting better every day. It just kills me to think that we won't be together for Christmas because of this. I told her I loved her no matter what she feels about me so hopefully that gets thru to her. I am upset with work cutting my hours but at least I have a job. I'm only working between 3-7 hours a week. I really need to work 12 to get by. especially with Christmas coming up. I have some videos posted under koolkooky59 on you tube if you are interested. I do a new one once in a while. I am behind in my daily strength involvment so I got to get back in the swing of things. Hope everyone is doing good and I'll be cathching up soon.

Well it has been a long time. I have been getting along good post surgery except I am not getting all my fluids and protein in. I have been keeping most things down except for reheated food. Getting low on money so I am going back to work this week starting wednesday. My brother is coming to visit tomorrow so I hope he'll pick up some groceries for me. so far I have lost 35 pounds!!! Except for the first two weeks I have been losing slow and steady which I can accept. I still haven't been able to fit into smaller pants yet. I saw my son on Monday and we went to dinner at Applebees. He is excited about going away to school and I am excited for him too. I hope to see him before he leaves. His move in day is August 31st in the am. I hope and pray he makes it through the 4 years. Unlike his sister who had to leave because of financial problems after 2 years. I worry about that happening to him too. I am no longer on insulin which means not having to take up to 8 shots a day and I am off the oral diabetes meds too. I still have to take my phsy meds which fill up my pouch when I take them morning and night. I have been tired much earlier at night I use to stay up till 1 or 2am but now I'm lucky if I make it to 10pm. I will be sad to see the olympics over with I have enjoyed watching them. I missed the opening ceremonies so I hope I see the closing ones. I didn't get out of my nightgown all day today and it was beautiful weather today. I spent the day reading cooking and watching tv. I feel somewhat down tonight I think the financial situation might be part of it. Then again I am a depressed person so that is just what may be going on.

Great to hear from you and how well you are doing with the weight loss. Sorry about the falling out with your daughter. Maybe the email to everyone wasnt a great idea. Some people are very sensitive, and she ma have felt like you were airing the "dirty laundry" between the two of you to the family. Just speaking from my personal experience in the past. Please dont take offense. I hope you guys can patch things up before Christmas. Hopefully work will pick up for you too. People tend to need more help during the holiday season, so maybe your hours will get better. Well, keep going with the awesome progress. Good luck with everything!
