Shrinking violets- part 6!!!



Recommended Posts

hi there! Thanks for the birthday wishes! We had such a good time in Mexico City. It's such a beautiful city. We did so much walking though that it wore me out. By about 4pm each day I would be swollen like a blimp and would have to slow down for the rest of the day.

I'm gonna try to post some pictures tonight. I didn't take that many, my sister Erika took most of them.

I'll have to go back and catch up on posts. I worked late tonight and then had an appointment with a bride at the house so I'm beyond exhausted.

oh and my OB called me this weekend to tell me she is leaving the practice. Waahhh. So now I have to chose another doctor or even one of the midwives. There is only one other lady doctor so I might end up with a midwife. But with the kind of labor I want to have I might be a better fit for a midwife anyway. So anyway. That's what's new on the Sophia front.

Everyone have a great night. I'm gonna see if I can do a quick upload from my camera...

Yippee Pamela!!

Welcome back Haydee!!

Thanks for posting that Mae, job hunting sucks right now, sorry you have to deal with all that right now. My brother in law has been dealing with it for over a year and a half. He made a bunch of money and now no one will hire him because they say he will just leave when something better comes around. He is depressed and down, but thankfully my sister has a good job, and they have always saved, and they have recently down sized, and are doing okay, but it is very hard mentally for him. I hope he finds something soon. Plus he just found out his dad has got terminal cancer, so that is an added strain. Oh my gosh, would you like me to write a book?????

Wow, did I get off on a ramble or what.???????

Good morning, Violets..

Congrats, PamELa!!! You are gonna be a skinny minny by next spring!!

Joe got called in to work yesterday and then my friend Betsy called me to say her Water heater burst and water was all over her basement.... sooooo Joe got called to do that clean up. Thank goodness. He also went to a local factory here and they said they will be hiring in a couple of weeks. My fingers are really crossed for this one. One of our good church friends is the president of the company, so hopefully he can get in there.

I'm still pretty restricted. I had a cup of chicken noodle Soup for supper last night. Haven't had any Breakfast today.. I know.. my bad. But will have some tuna/soy nuts/raisins for lunch. We will go out for pizza tonight to our favorite place. They have exotic pizzas with extra thin crusts. We tried to go last Thursday, but it was opening day and it was packed. We'll go earlier today.

The bobster and I booked a cruise for Jan. 30 to the Caribbean. Can't wait!!!!

Just watched the video, Michelle. I saw ds in a few pics.. kewl!

Off to fix my tuna.. Everyone make it a good one!

Sorry about the computer problems Haydee, I thought mine was on the fritz a while back and luckily a few days of making a very odd noise and then nothing. Hope that stays status quo!

Have a great day everyone and congrats again Pamela!!

I am here...busy day, minimum day, but busy!!! I got out at 11:30, after being in my classroom 12 hours yesterday. Came home, took a nap, and then we went to see Waiting for Superman! It was a very interesting movie. Then we went to Burgers & Beer and had two margies on an empty stomach (I've been sooo tight, cant eat much...and still fat).

Came home and am enjoying my buzz...

where the hell is everyone????

Have a great weekend!

No, it is not anything you said!!

I just didn't get a chance to log in this morning and worked both places today!!

So good morning!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! Any big fun plans??

I work both places tomorrow and then Sallys on Sunday, the Gas company is coming out Monday to turn my gas back on, and then maybe I might buy a car? I don't know. I don't want to deal with the bs. Need to look into new phone plan because I am going to start using my cell phone for my work phone. So then I need to go get some magnets or maybe some pens or something to give to my clients with my new number, then dinner with a friend Monday night, then work week starts all over!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
