Day 4 on Pre-Op Is Jello Pudding the same as Jello?

So last night I had a Sugar Free Jello Pudding. My pre-op paper didn't specify on this. They just said I could have Sugar Free Jello. I'm going to call and ask about this today. Today my weight is 244. Down 7lbs since I started the Pre-op 4 days ago. I know its water weight but its still nice :)

My poor husband is going to try to get a tooth pulled today. He has a couple of broken teeth and this one flares up every once in a while and usually with antibiotics he will be fine in a few days. But I'm tired of seeing him in pain and the side of his face swollen so I told him he needs to go through with having it pulled this time! So, he is on his way to the dentist now and I hope they can do something for him. The amount of money we have spent on Orajel this past year is ridiculous ;)

He went to McDonalds this morning and one of the girls that works there lets Davids brother Ethan, his girlfriend Kala and their son Bryson live with them. Now, my problem with them goes back about 1 1/2 years. When I first met David, I had just moved into my mom's old single wide trailer. I was trying to get my daughter and I our own place and thats all I could afford on my own. So after we got married and we both have decent jobs we decided to move. I owned that trailer when we moved and Ethan and Kala had just had Bryson. They were young and living with Davids mom at the time in a two bedroom trailer. SO, I thought it would be nice to help out family and let them have the trailer. We were selling it to them at $200 (!!) a month for 2 years and it would be paid off. So a total of $4,800.00 Not a bad deal right? Well, Ethan wouldn't let Kala work or she was just to lazy not sure which one, so he was the only one working. So they couldn't even afford the $200.00 a month payment. Davids MOM paid almost all of their bills! So we went over there one day and the place was trashed. Clothes, food, trash was all OVER the place. It was seriously GROSS! The hadn't cut the grass in forever. David had it out with Ethan and told them they looked like trash and they needed to get it cleaned up! So about a month later, we went by there again. Same crap. So David called Ethan and apparently the septic tank had backed up and they haven't been living there for almost a month! I dont understand why they didn't say something. We would have helped them out! So a BIG dramafest incurred. Which in that time I was called fat several times (low blow right?) and was even told that they didn't think Scarlett was Davids (um..hello have you seen my child? She looks just LIKE her dad!) and all this stupid high school drama. SO we cut off communication with them! Last weekend was Bryson's 2nd Birthday party and I refused to go. I seriously would probably punch that girl in her face if I saw her and I have two precious girls that need me so I'm not going to put my self in that situation. So when David was at McDonalds this morning the girl that they live with had apparently been running her mouth to people she works with because they told David that she was saving how "sorry" we were for not even coming to the kids birthday party and we wouldn't fix the septic tank for them and blah blah blah. For 1 thing: They were BUYING that house. They were responsible to fix any problems. Then they abandoned the place leaving us with a pile of junk to clean up before we could sell it. 2nd thing: They never say thank you for anything. We bought them a whole bunch of stuff when they were pregnant because they didn't have any money and nothing for the baby! Think we got a thank you? NO! Same thing at the past few Christmas's and Bryson's 1st birthday and when we took Ethan out to eat one time. No thank you's ever! That's just RUDE! 3rd thing: I REALLY dont think you want me to take you out on your kids birthday! ha ha. SO, being the responsible person that I am, I will just avoid being in the same place at the same time as them. If I do happen to run into them I'm sure I will keep my cool really but lets not temp it lol. So that whole thing has really irked me. And saying that we are "Sorry People" HA! We both work, we have our own house, pay our OWN bills, feed and cloth our OWN KIDS! They dont do anything but live off of other people and get high and run their mouths all the time. Its sick!

*Sorry for the rant today, I was just pissed off. Now, back to the lap band :)

It seems everyone has a story to share. When ever I tell someone I'm getting Lap Band done they are like "Yeah, I know someone who knows someone who got that done!" and continue to tell me the pros and cons of it like I haven't done any research at all lol. I'm the type of person that will research something until I'm blue in the face with it!

So, day 4 and I'm getting a little irritable (can you tell?). But all in all, I'm doing ok I think. I'll let you know tomorrow :)
