Ten things Thursday. Are ya ready??

1. I know I've lost some weight this week. But I've jumped on the scale before my designated time. So, I don't want to tell you how much until then. So I will edit later to add the total loss!! Btw, FINALLY!!

EDITED TO ADD: my total loss is now at 122.2!!!!!

2. My hubby has been doing really well too. He's lost almost 30 lbs. He changed his diet a little, cut out pop and recently starting working out at his company's gym. I'm really proud of him. 

3. The kids and I have been out this week to meet friends to swim. They are so happy when they are swimming. And with friends. It's been a nice week. 

4. My husband is on day 11 of a 12 straight work period. In a very hot plant working 11 hours with about (roughly) a 45 min drive in but at least an hour drive home everyday. Bless his heart. 

5. I tell you what, I was getting super frustrated that I wasn't losing any weight, so it's nice to see a loss this week!!! But, I'm having issues with my hair. It's falling out BIG time. More than it ever has. I told my hubby it did when I was losing a lot maybe it was a sign I was on a losing streak again (he hid the scale - which I asked him to do - so I could only weigh myself once a week). Then I remembered I haven't been taking my bariatric vitamins because I ran out. I've been sharing vitamins with my son. So, who knows. I need to get my own this week end. 

6. My daughter's 13th birthday is coming up so we are in the process of beginning to make plans. 

7. I'm also in charge of planning a road rally the next day. 

8. I'm so enjoying my summer as a SAHM. 

9. Finally got my hubby to drink 1.5 protein shakes a day. I wasn't drinking my strawberry flavor I bought. So instead of throwing it out he volunteered to drink it. Which is cool in lots of ways. It's helping him eat way earlier than he was and getting way more protein :)

10. Because of previously mentioned protein shakes being consumed in our household, we now own 4 blender bottles. 

Here are a few pics :)

At the market where we buy our fruits and veggies, they had mini apples. 

Family game night!! Trouble!!! L beat us all. 

I get more pics of him sleeping....

1. I had minor surgery that turned into major surgery.

2. Before said surgery, I had to do a bowel prep. Have you ever had to do one? Me neither. It was not enjoyable. Even those 4.5 lbs I briefly lost.

3. My surgery was done robotically. A few things about this. First, you are tilted on the table with your head lower than your feet. Second, they double up everything on you, IVs, pulse ox and bp cuffs. That way if one shuts down they automatically have a back up. Lastly, they pin your arms down by your side vs out.

4. I went in originally to have laparoscopic surgery and ended up with a hysterectomy. We had talked about it well beforehand, but I was still surprised to hear that's what ended up happening.

5. During my time in recovery, I was in and out of it. I heard my nurse tell me not to scratch at my eyes? Did I listen? Nope. What happened? I scratched my cornea. Sigh.

6. Because the plan wasn't really for me to stay, my doctor forgot to write in orders for me to have my regular meds. The problem with this is that I take migraine preventative meds and if I miss a dose it starts a migraine cycle. Add in the stress of surgery, anesthesia and pain meds themselves and yep, I have had a migraine/headache for two days. She called in an emergency migraine med today that's beginning to help.

7. They put me on the mommy/baby floor. I was fine with that. I'm done having kids. But, I hope they are sensitive to others that might have a harder time with losing their uterus while people around them are giving birth.

8. That being said, someone at the hospital made a mistake and accidentally brought me a diaper bag for new moms. Then she said well you are a mom. Go ahead and keep it. What am I going to do with formula and coupons? Now grant it, the bag doesn't really look like a diaper bag. But still...Luckily, my husband's cousin has a new ADORABLE baby, so we passed it on to them :)

9. My kids seemed thrown off by me not being home. Not horribly just slightly. My 12 year old seem to want to come as close as she could to me yesterday when I got home without touching me necessarily :)

10. Today, I'm very grateful for my God. He protected me during this surgery. It went off flawlessly. I'm at home recovering. My hubby gets to be home with me. Although I'm going to need some help with the kids and help driving me around, I have a wonderful set of parents and in laws to help.
