My losing streak is continuing. Down a full lb today.

Hi CRICKY! I know YOU are awake and here with me! I will be leaving in one hour. Ed is making coffee and I am simply dying from jealousy! I can't even have a little drink of water! That coffee smells so good... and my stomach is growling, too! I am going to bring my cream and sweeteners with me and after this procedure, I want to stop at our favorite little breakfast place in town (the Farm-Inn) and drink coffee and eat bacon & eggs!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what I'm a-gonna do.

We all did so well yesterday. CRICKET, I know you went up, but you are so sick! I sure hope you can start to feel better soon! Poor Cricky. All narced up and still no sleep.

Wish me luck this morning. I hope nothing is screwy and they can then schedule the removal of the evil uterus. You all have a great day!

Well THAR SHE BLOWS.....

Gopod luck and prayers with you today Paulette, hope it all goes well!

Cricket I dont raise the Himalayan breed, however their signature COLOR (pure white body, colored points at nose, feet, ears, and tail, ruby eyes) exists in other breeds--- in my breed, Holland Lops, it is technically called "pointed white", but "himi" is still the nickname many people recognize for that color. They have himis in Netherland Dwarfs as well. (and in NDs the color IS technically called himalyayan). NDs are the smallest breed of rabbit and they are dang cute-- they can tend to be really active and even a bit nervy compared to bigger breeds-- kind of like the general difference between big dog and little dog personalities, or draft horse and pony... The Himalayan BREED, while not too much bigger, is known for being calm and placid-- a good breed for younger youth to show because they are generally pretty tolerant of being hauled around by kids. My breed, holland lops, are kind of in between-- they are the smallest lop breed, but they arent typically as nervy as Netherland Dwarfs can be. Both HLs and NDs are "dwarf gene" breeds-- if you are thinking about breeding rabbits and like the dwarf breeds, the dwarf gene in rabbits is something to read up on, since in dwarf breeds you will have some neonate fatalities because of it-- comes with the breed traits.

I chose the name "Himadri" for my rabbitry name, because I am working with the "himi" color, and the Himadri mountain range is the tallest range in the Himalayan Mountains. This color is uncommon in Holland Lops and because its not common, and not many breeders work with it, body/head/general type is not up to par in the general population of pointed whites/himis.... so I am working on improving type.... and eventually darkening point color (which is a slooow process because improving type necessitates breeding out to other colors which, among other things, can affect point color negatively... but its possible to bring it back around.)

Here is one of my favorite little bucks--

Move over CHRISSIE~~ stable Mable Mobile rider hopping on.
After some success on the Throne I got to sleep at 4ishAM. and SLEPT until 11:30 this morning Sat out on my mini deck on the lounge for an hour.Sun is strong..not missing South Florida in weather like this! Have no clue what is going on with upper GI discomfort. Heading to take more pink pills today.Solid foods are not helping.I did have the Atkins shkes available so that was breakfast at 2PM ( now) with added 1/2 C heavy cream. At least no sugar alcohols and the carbs are 10 carbs.. had 2 cans of it.Have half now and half later. Very fillig and going to FD to enter it is and see what the stats are. later will have teas.

CHRISSIE.. of course you are losing at 15-20 carbs. That is induction range. When you are 10 pounds away add 5 carbs a week until you are not loosing . With our crazy flux, do not panic.. but give it a couple of weeks to make sure weight is not going up for more than the week.

HIMI>> Thank you for that great info. I do recall you referred to your rabits as COLOR now that you explained it. I have been reading up on the various breeds and have just begun. Have to say that the HIMIALYAN is gorgoues and your BUCK is so pretty and love the lop ears! It is the genetics that intriques me. I worked on gov'e copntracts in a large breeding facitltiy in the late 70's and helped develops the nude mouse. Looked like Yoda LOL.. SOme of us took that white nude mouse a step further and created black and white nudies... not exactly what the contract was calling for but we watned to see what we could do In that time area I did what my vet said could not be done.. I created the mini cat. ALl identical thick furred blue grey with exact same marking of one white spot on chest. Original pair were grey Persian female and short haired smallish grey male. took 10 generations to get it perfect and reliable. Surprised the heck out of my vet who always gave free rabbies vaccination to farm cats that could be coaught.. well, he gave one injection, and I came to the barn with another of my minis.. he said he already did THAT ONE.. uh,... nope.. SMILING HERE.. he looked at me as if I were crazy. I told him I bred a breed of minis that all were identical in looks.. he said not possible.. LOL.. I BLURPED called the cats.. and out of everydirection came running 10 mini cats!!! all were the size of 4 month old kittens, had wonderful dispositions and looked like Persians with dense fur but a bit shorter. I had a waiting list for my kitttens. SO, breeding for type and coloring is right up my alley I guess I will begin with the ARBA and get their literature for what is around here. That will dictate al lot to me about what I can have. I am still torn between the 2 breeds. Low birth rates are ok.. but I do understand the problems of the dwarf breeds. Have alottothink about, and have the time to do that! Not going into this overnight but maybe next year or the following. Some changes may be occuring here in the next couple of years so not rshing. I want everything to be perfect for my new endeavor. AGAIN, you gave me some really great things to consider as options and eleminations!

POLLIE... hope you had a goood breakfast. For me fasting was never a problem. ENjoy the holiday out

WIll be back later.

Bouncing on the trampoline...yippee! Weeee!
Chris and I went to Dave and Busters last night and I had mouthwatering ribs (no sauce) and a few boneless buffalo wings since I hadn't had many carbs yet and some broccoli with drawn butter. I expected the bounce and I must say it was worth every bite.

Cricket glad you got good deep sleep finally and especially glad you're not in pain. Good luck with your pink pills. I've got a question...is it my imagination or do I start craving a steak when my iron is low?

Chrissie I hope you and Cricket have a nice cruise in Mable. I hope you end up being fortunate like me in maintaining...I eat 60-70 TC per day and still lose and/or maintain as well as maintain ketosis. I'm so thankful everyday that my tolerance is so high. I wish you the same luck.

Paulette...Dear sweet Paulette! I'm sending get well wishes your way. I hope your procedure went smoothly and that you got some especially yummy bacon and eggs and heavenly coffee. *Hugs*

I have a free room and dinner at the casino tonight so Chris and I are gonna go play bingo. I 'm craving a steak like you can't imagine and they have amazing green bean almondine I think it's called (butter and almond sauteed). My daddy gave me $100 early for Christmas...The casino is what makes me happy so I figure i'll use my $100 to play bingo win or lose it's all good.

Have a great evening ladies...

Hello Everyone!

Surgery went well - they were a great team especially the anesthesiologist.

The thing that worries me is that my blood sugars shot up very high afterwards. It was 209 right after, and now it is 241! I had my coffee/cream and my bacon & eggs. No carbs so to speak of. I googled this phenomenon and it is common for blood sugars to rise after surgery, but it should go down again after the anesthesia wears off. So far mine is continuing to rise!

I will continue to monitor it through the evening and I may have to have a unit of insulin if it does not seem to be going back down. I am going to call my nurse right now to ask for advice and see if I have to do this...

OK - Just talked to nurse - she is having the Doc call me back so I need to hold off on any insulin and junk until I hear from her. She thinks it is an anesthesia thing, too, and said it is not at a dangerous level, so I should not be worried.

HIMI - congrats on the whoosh!!! A big juicy one, too! That bunny picture is one of the cutest things ever!!!! I want to give it a big kiss!

CHRISSIE - Have a nice ride today and I hope tomorrow lets you see another loss!!!!!!!!

CRICKET - Hope the day is going nicely for you today. OMG - I just weighed myself and I am up 7 LBS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ALL ABOUT??????????? Oh my, high BS and extreme weight gain all in a few hours! I have had a lot of fluid after the surgery, though, and did not pee at all today except for a micro bit right after the surgery. I am actually having some tea right now and I wonder if I will pee all night, or just hang on to it all for the next few days?????? Oh well. Not much I can do about it, eh? Feel happy your little gain is so small compared to me!

KATHY - sorry for the blip. Do the bouncy thing today. When my iron was very low during last month I didn't crave steak or anything else. If you take a multi with iron you rarely have to worry about iron, except on your TOM. I always take extra during TOM. I track all these goodies on my SparkPeople food thingy. It lets me track any nutrient I want. I always track Iron, vit C, vit D, vit E, Potassium, Sodium, and Calcium, because the things I eat have barely nothing for these nutrients (except the sodium). I hope your iron is good! But having extra iron-containing meats during TOM never hurt and probably is the best! So enjoy your steak!

BARB - I hope you had a nice funeral visit last night. And I hope the day was as warm for you as it was for us today so you could get some riding in. (in the 50's today!) Good luck on the scale!

Time for me to relax a bit and watch some TV now. Ed is out hunting for another doe and I hope he gets one!!!!!

You all have a great night!

Hi PAULETTIE~~ weight gain and BS : anesthesia is in the system for minumim of 24 hours and not uncommon for a few days as well. That is why the warning not to drive for a week or so. The gain is your poor innerds a swelled up! Any trauma will casue the fluids to rusgh into that area. White blood cells at work getting rid of bad things etc... so all is normal . It iwll go down.

Kathy... some are sensitive to low protein levels druing TOM and if you crave it, have it! WHen red bloos cells are anemia seriously low, the eating of ice is a common phenomono... Happened with me too.. odd but that is a sign of serioulsy low red cells... You are normal my crazy friend.
Go have fun at the casino

GET this pals... I called the hospital for my shoulder surgery to see if they wanted money yet.. each time I call they say no that they are correcting things.. well.... today it was HAPPY HANUKKAH CRICKET!!! My new best friend there said she looked into my question about the self administered medication epinehrine since I did not administer it.. $45.00 on that! At first I was told that it was anesthesia.. I answered that there was no indication for me needing that and perhaps it was automatic for that andesthesiaologist to give it.. but I did not give it to myself so that was inocrrect.. and said oh well... well, this angel researched it and had that removed too! MY bill was $631.33 and NOW it is $166.58 !!!!! I like that a lot more! REALLY.. this is an exapmle of how many errors are made. This was a simple out patient straight forward every day times 7 a day surgery! AND almost NO ONE CHALLENGES THEIR BILLS>>>> please when you get your bill, look it over with a fine tooth comb... That does not even include the fact that an assistant surgeon was billed to me and should not have been. I hired one surgeon and anything else is on them. I had no contract with this other MD. So THAT was removed from my physician bill. I saved about $1,000! Scary!
The need for pink pills is doubtful... the shake really had an effect in 30 minutes! It was heavy so gravity won out.

Jodi had that gain from VEGGIES!!! she "over did the salad stuff".. she is a prime example along with me that NC and veggies is just plain bad for us.And here I thought she fell or jumped off the wagon!
Going to have I think some of the chicken thigh meat no skin and the rest of the drink later.Maybe no chicken and just tea first..? Maybe the ligueis first is the better idea.

Bouncing on the trampoline...yippee! Weeee!
Chris and I went to Dave and Busters last night and I had mouthwatering ribs (no sauce) and a few boneless buffalo wings since I hadn't had many carbs yet and some broccoli with drawn butter. I expected the bounce and I must say it was worth every bite.

Cricket glad you got good deep sleep finally and especially glad you're not in pain. Good luck with your pink pills. I've got a question...is it my imagination or do I start craving a steak when my iron is low?

Chrissie I hope you and Cricket have a nice cruise in Mable. I hope you end up being fortunate like me in maintaining...I eat 60-70 TC per day and still lose and/or maintain as well as maintain ketosis. I'm so thankful everyday that my tolerance is so high. I wish you the same luck.

Paulette...Dear sweet Paulette! I'm sending get well wishes your way. I hope your procedure went smoothly and that you got some especially yummy bacon and eggs and heavenly coffee. *Hugs*

I have a free room and dinner at the casino tonight so Chris and I are gonna go play bingo. I 'm craving a steak like you can't imagine and they have amazing green bean almondine I think it's called (butter and almond sauteed). My daddy gave me $100 early for Christmas...The casino is what makes me happy so I figure i'll use my $100 to play bingo win or lose it's all good.

Have a great evening ladies... [/QUOTE]

CRICKET - Wow! You saved a LOT of money by being so diligent. Most people just take the bill as is and never question it! If I end up getting a bill you bet your royal bippy I will analyze mine! I had a student anesthesiologist attending today. I wonder if they charge for that..... doesn't seem right. I will look for it. Thank you!

My doctor called back and said the rise in BS is normal and just wants me to take my regular Metformin pills day and night and not worry about taking anything else. I did more research on this and it seems it IS very common.

I understand the swelling thing so well. I am sure my poor uterus is very tender. I do feel some discomfort, but no real pain. I 'spose in a few days I will whoosh again.

JODI must have had a mighty large salad! I'm happy to hear it was just veggie carbs and not a donut feast or anything like that. I hope she whooshes bigly in the next couple days.

Back to the TV now. You all have a good night!

I AM happy to her all is as suspected... that student can not charge.. not licensed yet.. so only if there was a nurse anesthtist ould there be 2 cahrges.. one fore the RNA and another for the anesthesiolost itslef since that is the responsible license. I have fought the RNA before and won. THis time around I was just too tired with all the stuff I went through. DO check the medications and misc bills on the charges adn the EOB from the insurance.

Well, everything I had went thrugh me so I over did it major today. I just had 2 franks 1 carb ea. and tons of sodium in NATHAN'S brand..had that HC and whipped chream mixed in the WF dipping sauce...and a litle more protein drinkl that whooshed though me again.. and I had OMG CASHEWS! goodbye low carb.So far my stomach is ok..
Tomorrow I have to be at the PEEPER doc at 7:20 AM.
I called to check to make sure that the visit was covered by post operative..and was told by SUSIE that I WOED $50 from the last visit as co-pay...HUH???~#$%^&* here I go again.. calmly told her that no, I did nt andplease get Veronica in Billing for me. You know it is not a good thing when you actually KNOW the employees on first name basis like this.. well, she sai the notes said the visit was schedules as PT to come bck as needed.. so I told her that THE DOCTOR NEEDED IT! that is why the appointment was ade when I was leaving! and then said to check it out. She did and said that Sacrlet, ( another I got to k now the name of) said it WAS post op and the paper was not posted correctly and this ext one was covered as well... OH BOY>>> I am so over this!
I owe a bunlde on the cataract surgery, and still have the surgeon and anestesilolst and smaller hospital bill to pay off from shoulder. I know this will end soon!!!! PLEASE PRAY THE BERRIES SELL WELL THIS YEAR AND I CAN PICK THEM!!!

and now to say good night! and change the chart.
