I had to see my specialist and he told me what i didn't want to hear, my last liver biopsy shows that my liver is badly scarred and that i now have cirrhosis that was the one thing i didn't want to no. He also said i have a problem with my bile duct and he wants me to see the surgeon and put me on a long dose of antibiotics because he thinks i have an infection as well. Well it can only get better who was it said " tommorrow is another day ". I am going to go to bed now put my head under the sheet and pretend this weekend hasn't happened. Jeanette UK Jeanette, I'm sorry to hear this news. I'm curious -- when was this last biopsy that showed cirrhosis? When would the doctor have told you about it, had you not come in following the accident? Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Yep, you blew ALL six weeks of hard work in just two short days...NOT!!! You ate bad for 2 days? You get one free day, right? So you blew ONE day! One day in six weeks is a great record. Eat squeaky clean until your next free day and hit your 10's! This isn't even a blip on the screen. Lynda.

This process is so frustrating. > So, how did the rest of you do? > > Do you have your meals for the week planned and shopped for? Well..... as for me..... I'm focusing on other things, not on losing weight. I have so much stuff to do and so many things taking my attention that I'm not focusing on getting healthy. I need to find a balance because this doesn't have to be an all or nothing endeavor. There is no reason I can't remodel the house and eat healthy too. I just need to take a few extra minutes to plan. I need to have the house well stocked with good food that is easy to prepare. I have healthy meals planned for the next two nights then we'll have leftovers for two nights. Sat. I'll be at first aid training all day so I need to plan dinner accordingly. Last Sun. I took Lynn, my kindergartener, shopping to pick out paint and stuff for her room. Dh took Vonn, my 3 year old, grocery shopping. Ugh! They filled my safe house with candy and chips. I need to get my exercise by kicking my husband! I never have tempting stuff in the house. If I buy candy I get Dum Dums or something that doesn't tempt me at all. I never buy chips for home. Sheesh. is usually pretty supportive but he blew it this time. At least he came home with a ton of fruit too. I've been working so hard that I felt kind of ripped off that I didn't lose any weight this week. On Friday it worked great turning on the sprinklers while I laid sod and dug out junipers. The heat didn't bother me at all even though it was 97 degrees. On Sat. I cleaned out the garage for about 6 hours. I was totally exhausted. On Sun. I went shopping for 4.5 hours and all that walking should have done some good. Unfortunately my eating has been counteracting my activity. I checked the Sun. ads and no VCRs were even shown, just DVDs. I guess I just have to hit Best Buy and pick one out. I'm going to put Lynn's furniture in our room while I paint her room and lay new floor but I'll make sure to put it where it won't interfere with doing videos in there. This is the first week of summer vacation and we have an activity every day. One problem with summer will be playgroup every Mon. We'll head to a park from 9-11 and then head to a fast food place for lunch when the park gets too hot. Mcs has new salads which is great. Burger King doesn't really have anything healthy. The veggie burger would still be served on a white bun. Today we're going to see dh's new office and take him out to lunch. The place we're going has healthy choices but not low carb choices. I'm going to enjoy lunch and then have a healthy dinner of garlic lime chicken, brocoli and a salad. I'll serve dh leftover white rice too. Dh's department moved to another location and his commute increased from 50 - 60 min. each way to an hour and 20 min. each way. Ugh. He changed his hours from 8-5 to 7-4 to reduce his commute. It's nice having him home at 5 instead of 6 but it will take some getting used to to start dinner earlier. It is really going to make evenings less frantic since we'll have extra time for dinner, bath time and getting the kids to bed. Well, I guess I'm back to my usual rambling posts. I can't believe the kids are still asleep. Lynn woke me up at 6:15 due to a bad dream. She crawled in bed with me since had already left and she finally went back to sleep. Unfortunately I couldn't go back to sleep. Argh. I was up until after 1am designing her loft bed in my head. I do tend to get just a tad obsessive when I'm in the midst of a project. I need to carve out time to make **me** the project! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Sometimes the FAT loss is not on the scale.......look in the mirror, measure yourself. You may have lost some fat with all the good eating and walking and chores......and built up some nice lean muscle that will burn more calories as time goes on. Alot of times, even though the scale has not moved, I find myself in a smaller size. I can even notice the loss sometimes in the rings I wear. And have you ever felt the joy of putting on a pair of socks and not feeling strangled around the foot? That is FAT loss.........it's just that the scale only measures pounds.

Wishful thinking but I haven't been controlling my eating. I would love to see some nice lean muscle but it is hidden by my bad eating habits. Ugh. Losing weight really shouldn't be so tough. We all know what we're supposed to be doing. Why can't we just get busy and do it? > Alot of times, even though the scale has not moved, I find myself in a > smaller size. > I can even notice the loss sometimes in the rings I wear. > And have you ever felt the joy of putting on a pair of socks and not feeling > strangled around the foot? > That is FAT loss.........it's just that the scale only measures pounds. I've lost 30 pounds since August. I've been stalled out for months but I do still notice the difference that those 30 pounds have made. My thermometer has been reading 97 but it just hasn't felt that bad to me. I've even been thinking that my thermometer must be broken because it doesn't feel that hot. I would love to remove some more of my built in insulation. Ok, this time I'm really going to get off the computer. I've got lots of chores to do today. I'm trying to plan a fun summer for the kids with lots of activities but they know that mom is going to have to work some each day too.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 > Aren't you the one giving us a hard time about weighing too often? I'm a typical mom - Do as I say, not as I do. > Ugh. This process is so frustrating. Yep. At least this morning I'm down another pound, so the scale is going back in the right direction again. Eating those leftovers last night I realized she also heavily salted that pork roast, too. At least for today, nothing I have planned has any appreciable amounts of salt in it so things should get back to normal. >I have so much stuff to do and so many things taking my attention > that I'm not focusing on getting healthy. Are you at least buying Sugar Buster legal stuff to have on hand for when the urge to eat healthy strikes? Did you find a brown rice that's edible yet? How about the pasta - have a few boxes of semolina or whole wheat ones in those newly painted cabinets? > Dh took Vonn, my 3 year old, grocery shopping. Ugh! > They filled my safe house with candy and chips. Did you watch Everybody Loves last night? The episode where he told his brother to be incompetent so his future wife will do things herself so they're done right rather than her asking him to do things all the time? Maybe your hubby did the same thing - bought all kinds of useless junk food so you won't send him to the grocery store anymore. >At least he came home with a ton of fruit too. Yeah, but too much fruit is no good, either. Just 2-3 pieces a day should do it because of the sugar content. > I've been working so hard that I felt kind of ripped off that I didn't lose > any weight this week. Were you drinking enough while working in that heat? If not, your body is probably retaining all the water it can get. Try drinking more and see what happens. >Mcs has new salads which is great. Watch those dressings! I read on another list that some of them have more calories than the chicken supreme salad itself. Burger King doesn't > really have anything healthy.

Your best bet, if you *weren't* doing Sugar Busters, would be the plain baked potato that 's has or one of the low-fat sandwiches at Subway. >his commute increased from 50 - 60 > min. each way to an hour and 20 min. each way. Ugh. Ugh is right! Henry & Ed both commute that length of time on three trains each way, so at least they can veg out and either read or listen to music on headphones with eyes closed. Are there any options for him, like carpooling or mass transit? > Well, I guess I'm back to my usual rambling posts. I, for one, missed them. >I was up until > after 1am designing her loft bed in my head. I do tend to get just a tad > obsessive when I'm in the midst of a project. All you engineers are alike!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 > Sometimes the FAT loss is not on the scale.......look in the mirror, measure In my case, it most likely is water weight. I had recently had to switch back to a very low salt diet because of water retention (I had been on it since age 11 or so), and with the food served at hubby's aunt's house, there was enough salt on one plateful to make a salt lick for a horse! LOL > I can even notice the loss sometimes in the rings I wear. When I start getting water bloat, this is usually the first sign, and this weekend I could barely turn my ring on my finger again. My feel also start to swell, as well as my eyes. > And have you ever felt the joy of putting on a pair of socks and not feeling > strangled around the foot? Not for many, many years, even after I had a 46 pound weight loss and I stayed the same size with hardly any change in my general measurements. My weight gain and loss is usually in those weird places that don't affect clothing sizes, like in my legs, the space in my back between the shoulders, my hands, my face & chins. I'm wearing the same size now at 260 as I did when I weighed 220 and 292. The hips get a little snugger as I gain, but it's always the same size.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 > Poor kid. It must be tough being a college student and living with your > parents. LOL Last night was even better. He called me at 8:30 pm to say they're going bowling. 2 am they're still not home so Ed gets him on his cell - they're in the city and on their way home. 3am comes and he's still not here so now it's my turn to call him. Gee, ma, we stopped to eat! He finally wandered in around 4 am. After Ed's call they *left* the city and went about 10 miles away to a greasy spoon burger joint for a bag of burgers. I know the place - real seedy neighborhood but delicious burgers, about the size of a White Castle and topped with slabs of Velveeta cheese. I haven't been there in over 25 years, but he says the burgers are still the same. How am I going to survive his young adulthood?!?! My hair is already going gray! LOL > Sorry to hear you had car problems. That's always a pain in the butt. It's an old car, we bought it used, and knew about some *other* problems it had, not the ones this guy claimed we did. I wish we could find our old mechanic from the blown up gas station. We found one of the guys, but not the one we liked. One of these days we'll find out where he went.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Janet, So sorry about your bad weekend. I do think they should have at least offered for you to go to the marriage and let you be the judge of whether or not you could handle it physically, however, what's done is done so congrats on that one! Your second son, my goodness, sounds like he has his hands full with that wife. I am sorry about jail and will pray he gets out quickly. It sounds like she is a master manipulator. My mother was like this and these people are very dangerous because they will go to any lengths sometimes to get their way. My mom attempted suicide and had two nervous breakdowns in an attempt to manipulate my dad into staying and he still left her. I cannot say I blame him for going. She is still to this day a real piece of work, but then again she is an alcoholic as well. I hope there are not children involved as that will make it so messy, but hopefully your son can move on soon to a better life. I hope your week goes much better and just know that there are people out there who understand and sympathize with you. Do you know if your son's wife has a diagnosed mental condition? My mom is bipolar with depression being her main component of the disease now. Well, good luck. Hope your hubby feels better soon too. Take care and stay well.
