Hey Kristi, you go girl!!! Dang... that's alot of miles there. Good luck with your wisdom teeth getting pulled, I've had that done ouchhh!!! Although, you will feel alot better after it heals. Just remember, don't drink out of a straw or smoke.... I didn't listen (big surprise there!) And I got a dry socket (serves me right huh?) hehehe. Yeah, I'm kinda rebellious like that but it always gets the best of me. Well Karl, it looks like you've got yourself a BIG challenge with Kristi huh? Oh man, you did get beat by a girl, poor dude! At least it's for a good cause ;) Well, I hope to hear from you all soon I've missed you and I've been a BAD BAD GIRL!!!

It's not the refraining from drinking out of the straw that's killing me.....it's the liquid food for a whole week!! ahhh! Oh and I wasn't supposed to rinse for like 2 days and my mom apparently caught me in the bathroom brushing my teeth and rinsing with an evil look on my face...like "don't you DARE come near me. I do what I want to do!!" don't remember that AT ALL. scary!!!

LISA! missed you too girlfriend! And the blue thing on my head is a party hat!! So is your cable back up and running?? I guess I should stop by your journal and find out! ttys!!!
 
Okay so I thought I'd be unconscious for days after going to the dentist today to get my teeth pulled. I'm conscious, but not in my right mind. I'm very loopy and still can't walk in a straight line. I'm surprised that I can still type! Anyway here's the rundown of my day.

My mom drove me and I took 3 :chillpill: pills half an hour before the appointment. By the time we got there I could feel the calmness come over me and wasn't feeling nervous at all. My mom was in the waiting room with me and just kept laughing at me. I think she wanted to see me get loopy!! She told me later that I was singing Rod Stewart's "Have I told you lately that I love you??" to the UPS man that walked in. WHAT?! Then the denist told my mom that I was laughing at everything he said. He told me to open my mouth, and apprently that was the funniest thing I had ever heard! I remember bits and pieces of being in the dentist office(like the shots and the gas mask) but I don't remember leaving or the ride home. I remember getting out of the car at home and going into my bedroom and when I woke up I was on my couch. Sometime in between being in my room and coming into the living room was when I was brushing my teeth and rinsing. My mom caught me doing this and said she was telling me not to and she said that I got really angry! I don't remember ANY of that! Now I'm just groggy and I feel like I have a little hangover. I took another pill this afternoon that knocked me out cold. My mom said I was throwing a fit and was crying and then once I took the pill she said I just slowly stopped talking and then just passed out. This has been such a weird day.

My mom-in-law is bringing Erik back tomorrow. I'm really glad that I have such help from my family. I know that some people are not as fortunate or if they have it they just don't want it. Anyway, I better go before I start rambling. I'm feeling dizzy and hot.
 
Sounds like the surgery went well enough. I'ts funny hearing the stories afterwards about how you acted when you're all drugged out.

Well, I may just have to take advantage of the situation. While you're down and out, I'll have to get some mileage going...

See ya!
 
HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I know. I've been MIA for ever! With my power going out, then getting a sinus infection because my windows were open, and then finally getting power, it has been two hell-atious weeks!

I'm so glad you got your teeth pulled! YAY! I know you were so concerned, but look at it this way, you are going to lose some major poundage (shhhh, it's water weight...)

Aren't you loving Biggest Loser!?!??!?! I know I am!

I'll talk to you soon!
 
Hey Kristi, glad you are doing good with the surgery. It is funny to know what you do or say when you're on those darn pills huh? I know, my mom said that I told the anesthesiologist, " You're hot, I think I love you." when I was going under and then when I woke up I asked, "mom, can I have my grandmas panties?" My nana had bought me some underwear for after my surgery. It was funny hearing all of the stories, there were a few more, like I spit in my cousins hand, and was dabbing my face with one of those toothettes. Funny stuff!!! Ahh it will pass and you'll have something to laugh at afterwards. I hope you feel better soon.

Just popping in to say hello. Hope you are recovering quickly without your wisdoms and thanks for dropping in and making me feel better. I was feeling like blob myself but I think I'm over it. I'm ready to face my lard! :smilielol5: Have a good one ;)
 
Just wanted to tell y'all that everything's okay with me. I'm still not 100% but I'm getting there. My mouth hurts still, but it's not unbearable.

We've had a lot going on this weekend b/c Chris' grandma died. She had Alzheimer's and it was slowly eating away at her brain. Everyone was prepared for it to be soon, but it was still very hard on the family.

Chris is home, so I'll be posting more and catching up with everyone when he goes to bed this afternoon or possibly tomorrow.

Thanks for checking up on me! Talk to y'all soon :)
 
Hi Kristi, sorry about the loss. That's always tough to go through, whether expected or not. I also hope that you're mouth feels completely better really soon. I'll keep you in my prayers girlie. You hang in there, and we're always here. :)

I'm sending positive thoughts your way Kristi!! I'm sorry to hear about Chris' Gram. It's never easy, even if you expect it.

Hope you are feeling better soon too, because...
I just kicked your butt on mileage:sifone:

You gotta catch up before I raise the bar again, girl!!
 
Hey girl,
So sorry to hear about your wisdom being pulled... OUCH!!! But, glad that you are feeling a little better from it all.

Even though it is sad to lose someone you love, sometimes it is good to know that they are finally at peace. Hang in there through the loss of Chris's grandma. You are very strong willed, so I know you will be able to help him through this sad time.

Well, I'm still fighting to get back on track, and struggling not to give up. I will overcome this battle of the bulge!!! You are a great inspiration to me, and I want to be the same for you, so no more MIA's... even if I'm having an off day. Congrats on reaching your 25 pounds. That is a very exciting accomplishment. You will be out of the 200's in no time soon.

Plus, just think... having your wisdom teeth pulled must have some benefits if you are only able to eat soft foods like soup broth and jello!!!

Hee hee... Hang in there. You are doing AMAZING!!! :hurray: :hurray:
 
Kristi!!!! I'm BAAAACK :D So hurriez up and get well so I can bug the crap out of you :newangel: I gotta go to work soon but hope to chat with you tomorrow ~Lisa

Hey Stacy~ Thanks for the kind words about Chris' grandma. You are so right about her finally being at peace. In fact, the little cards with her obituary on it said at the top, "I am free." She was a special lady.

Well, I thought I was going to gain about 5 pounds back this past week! I actually did, but have lost it already. Here's what happend... I asked my mom to pick up a smoothie for me on the way back from the dentist to put in the fridge for when I woke up and was ready to eat. The one she got was an extra large chocolate peanut butter protien shake..... Well, when I got up I was starving because I couldn't eat breakfast or lunch. Also, I figured, what the heck, I didn't have any other calories that day....That night I also had some V8 butternut squash soup and I put cream cheese in it to make it taste better (plus I figured I would need some more calories for the day)....WELL, the next day I hopped on the scale expecting to see a loss...and I was up to 219!!!!!!!!!!! I had gained NINE pounds! I was so confused! Later that day, Chris took me to get a smoothie for lunch and I asked about what was in the chocolate pb protien shake....Guess how many calories were in that thing????? 4,000!!!!! It was made with muscle milk and some other calorie infused stuff for people trying to GAIN weight to bulk up for body building!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So with that and the cream cheese soup I had a 4,500-5,000 in ONE day! No wonder I had gained!! Well, after that I stuck with fruit smoothies, fat free pudding, yogurt, and I still ate the V8 soups with the cream cheese about twice a day. It was very hard to stay full and satisfied. I dreamed twice that I was at a buffet line, once that I was eating a whole bag of doritos, and once that I was biting into a HUGE breakfast burrito. It was terrible! Well, on Sunday (or was it Saturday??) I woke up and wanted a big breakfast. It had been 4 days since I had chewed anything and even though it was a day early I felt ready! My stitches were just about desolved....soooo me and Chris and Erik went and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel restaurant. I still had a little trouble chewing, but I honestly didn't care. I was sooo hungry!!! I think my stomach had shrunk because I ate a couple bites of each thing and was really full so I brought the rest home and ate it later. Anyway, all that to say that I DID gain at the beginning, but am back down to 211.4 I'm up a pound, but since I haven't exercised in a week, I know that pound will be gone by Friday. I'm so glad that the day before the protein shake, I had burned well over 1500 calories on the exercise bike (the day I went 32 miles) or else I'd probably wouldn't have dropped that weight so fast. The shake was good, but not good enough to destroy me!!

Wow, that was long winded.....

I'm so glad you're back and even when you are in a down time, you still inspire me because you get back up and keep trying. You are doing great!
