So I'm down 40 pounds now - what a great feeling! I move much better and feel better everyday. However, some depression has been creeping in. I'm told this is normal due to all the hormones that have been housed in my extra fat that are now released so I'm not too concerned. I would like this to pass though. Even 40 pounds lighter I don't feel much different, I'm still me.
We laid off 2 employees on Friday - it sucked. One was a really great guy the other was an accident waiting to happen but I don't like to see anyone loose their job, especially not in these times. Everything is so bad everywhere it's hard to keep a positive attitude but I'm so happy and thankful that I have the greatest family and we are all healthy. We have food, shelter and clothing. These are just some of the things I'm thankful for this year!

6 Week Mark
Today I had my 6 week check up with my surgeon and everything is going fine. I told him about my problem with eating meat or fish and he said it's normal but after 6 weeks I should be starting to eat with a little less discomfort. I'm down 34 pounds now and should be down another 30 by Christmas - WOW what a gift to myself!

The Time of Change
Woohoo - Obama won!!! It's an exciting time to be a part of this wonderful country!
NM6 went to the doctor yesterday because his stomach has been bothering him for so long! We'll the doctor ordered blood work to check for Celiac. Carrie took him this morning, screaming, to have his blood drawn. When I told Erika, she simply said it's about time they check him for that - he's so bloated all the time. So, now we just wait and see.

5 Weeks Out
Well I'm down 30 pounds now and am starting to feel it. It's good to be able to put my socks on again!!!
I only got sick 4 times, twice I had to vomit. Sometimes I just don't know what to eat.
The family is doing good - Nick is being tested for Celiac because he's had an upset stomach for almost a month now.
Abby now has a lip ring - it looks ok but why????? I told her if she kisses a boy and he has a ring they could get "ring lock" and have to go to the hospital to be separated - she just laughed.
Carrie is down 40 pounds.
Erika is down also but I don't know how much. She's going for Lasik surgery in Phoenix on November 15th.
I have my support group this evening - I need to pick up some protein drinks.

Hump Day
Almost one month out from surgery and down a total of 27 pounds - I'm very pleased. I still battle head hunger daily but I know if I eat to much, more than 1/2 cup, I'll get sick. Throwing up is not an option....
Carrie's car broke down today and she needs an alternator. I sure wish I could help but I just don't have any money to help. I have to put the oxygen mask on myself!!!
We all have out health and each other; that's what matters.
Things aren't looking to good at work. Copper is going down, the mines have halted capital improvements and Morenci has halted all motor repair until futher notice. The control shop lost 2 major jobs and new sales lost a million dollar motor. It's gettin' scary Scoobie!

Moving Right Along
Well, I'm down 19.5 pounds now but I still don't feel it. I can't wait till I can feel the weight coming off! I'm eating 2 protein shakes and one meal (1/2 cup pureed) and will do that for 3 more weeks. I can't believe it's already been 3 weeks!! I've been feeling a little blue lately, the support group says that's completely normal. So I'll keep plugging away!
Something happened recently to AB14 - my dear granddaughter. She was coming home from school and she got into an altercation with another girl. This girl is the one that got expelled from all TUSD schools because she threatened AB14 a couple of years ago at Utterback. Well, the girl, Justine, hit AB14 in the face twice!!! AB14 walked away and didn't fight back and when she got home she was crying and her mom called the police. They took pictures of her face and CG35 filed a criminal complaint. When they went to pick Justine up, her mom lied and told them she wasn't home. I don't know if they ever picked her up or not. CB35 knows there is a clause in their lease about that kind of behavior so she spoke with the office and they may get kicked out of the complex (yes, they live in the same complex). AB14 is ok now but she spent the night at my house and I just gave her lots of lovins. I can't believe that someone actually hit her in the face! It's so scary out there and young people have so much to deal with. She's always in my prayers.

MMMMM......Crackers!
Today I discovered I can eat crackers, plain saltine crackers never tasted so good! I'm doing pretty good, lost 16 lbs but I can't feel it yet. I'm excited about what's in store for the new smaller version of me - I hope more confidence!!!
Work is going ok - since copper prices have dropped so much some of our business is slowing but with all the new efforts in nuclear power we should be able to sustain ourselves.
Elections are a comin' - I'm still undecided. Obama/Bin(laden)? Kind of creepy but I like him for some reason. I also like McCain on healthcare and Sarah because she seems real. Kind of flaky, aren't I??
