Oh, Vix I'm so sorry! I was laid off once and I remember the total shock I felt. I hope you will both be ok! Hang in there!

I'm still just reading, reading, reading! I've found some great informational resources online for WLS, and I've even been reading the backgrounds of some surgeons in my area. I'm going to call my doctor's office today to see if they can call my insurance company and sort out all the details so we can discuss it at my August 11 appointment rather than wait until the appointment to even bring it up and then have to wait longer to find out all the insurance requirements.

I'm sure it's a big shock right now, but things have a way of working out. We're all here for you!

I'm so sorry... that just sucks. I'm sure you'll be super supportive of him though! I couldn't find a job for the longest time after college and being unemployed is just the most demoralizing thing (for me at least) but it can bring you two closer as well.

Vix - Sorry to hear about the layoff.

Anna & Roni - I know what you mean. I can't seem to focus in the spring/summer as well as I do in fall/winter.


Guess who got a wiifit last night? My BIL picked us up one when he saw a pile of them at BestBuy. It was too late last night to hook it up, but I'm getting on it tonight to check it out.

HI Bluesers!

Today, I woke up with a hungry feelling in my stomach. That's always a good sign. Yesterday, I put together a recipe file so my family can start experimenting and broadening our menu base from meat and potatoes to whole grains and veggies. I also cut up the pineapple and watermelon. My youngest DD had never tasted fresh pineapple. She loves it! I had to caution her to slow down as she might get a stomach ache.

As of today, I've not re-started an exercise routine. Today, I will make that a priority. We've been getting late afternoon/evening thunderstorms every day, so walking with Hubby hasn't been an option. However, I can dust off the treadmill and really have no excuses.

I'm sorry to hear that you leg is still bothering you. Hopefully, taking a break will help.

Jill, I hope our doctor and the insurance company work with you to find your best options.

Personally, I dread the challenge being over. I have a long way to go and I need the accountability.

Hope everyone has a great on-plan day.

GO BLUE!
