Shrinking violets- part 6!!!



Recommended Posts

I think I remember...think! The class project I am raising $ for is for a $180 bulletin board. Welcome to public education! I didn't put it on FB cause I didn't want people making a judgement call on what is important in my class. I want a bulletin board and have already gathered 100 buckeroos for it!

Good afternoon, Violets..

I luv you too, Michelle, but I'll pass on the fun table, if ya don't mind!:huh2:

Geeze PamELa.. I was hoping for something more exotic than a bulletin board!!! Like maybe a huge kindle or seat belts for the trouble makers. Oh well...still money well spent. :huh2:

The Bobster got all of the backyard cleaned up today.. furniture put away, gazebo uncovered, artsy fartsy stuff from the gardens stashed for the winter. Only thing left is the humungous pile of leaves in the front and back yards. It's been way too wet to burn and now we have a high wind advisory for tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm counting on alllllll of my leaves being blown out of my yard and none of my neighbor's leaves blown into mine. Wishful thinking??

I scheduled a fill for Nov. 15. That's St. Antler day around here.. first day of deer hunting. The roads should be pretty bare with all the hunters in the woods. I am going to get a fill to bring me up to 3.5 cc's. I had 3.7 in before surgery and that was just a smidge too tight. I have 2.9 in now and it's not cutting it at all. I ate a 6" subway flatbread sandwich today with no problem. We are having authentic U.P. pasties for dinner tonight. Bob bought some on his trip Saturday. I didn't have to make them!! :)

I did some laundry today and then rearranged the kitchen, added a leaf to the table and moved the island around. We need more room since there are 4 of us eating at the table now instead of 2. No job yet for Joe, but I'm still praying that something will come through for him. Not sure he and Jen will stick it out after January. They just make better friends than spouses at the moment. We shall see.

Everyone have a good evening..

Community Chorus rehearsal for the Messiah tonight. Can't believe it's that time again!!!

Did she get married?

It has been in the eighties but I think we are headed for the 70's and maybe even the 60's. We got rain last night for the first time in over a month!!

Is anyone watching Oprah? Oh my Gosh is all I can say! Heart wrenching and uplifting at the same time.

Good afternoon, Violets..

A blustery Winnie the Pooh kinda day here today. We took Grady and Ethan to the mall to play in the "bouncy" place. Ethan loved it, but Grady didn't. When it was time to leave, Ethan threw a fit so he and Joe went home while Kris and Grady and I went out to lunch. When I came back home, Ethan was sitting at the dining room table and had to stay there a few more minutes. He apologized to me, but his daddy says no computer or video games today. Guess I'll be reading a LOT of books to him today! Thank goodness he can still watch soome cartoons on tv otherwise he'd drive me nuts!!

Off to read some more....

Everyone have a great day!

Listenin to Carson scream through nap attempt. Schools close for bad weather now, so I had to pick him up an hour ago from daycare, we have tornados on the way. I want him to get his nap over with before it hits (in about an hour), but he's screaming his head off.

SLEEP!!! ARRGHGHGH.

Bad timing, why couldn't storms come earlier or later, this is messing up his routine.

Morning girls~

I wanted to post at the butt crack of dawn, actually way before dawn because I get too busy at work to jump in!

I went to bed at 7:50 last night...and didn't move until 5am! My left hip is sore cause I didn't move...like literally, didn't turn over for 9 hours! Too tired, but today I feel better!

Worked out Monday and will do a repeat today! I really wanna work on core strength, and weight training until the surgery. It is nice to not have to worry about cardio for a few weeks...it makes it nice to walk into the gym!:laugh: I SHOULD do the eliptical for my leg strength, but will do leg presses instead!

Not much else going on...looking forward to a mellow weekend, just with a Halloween party on Sat. It is mandatory costume...and we will be rocking the pirates again (easy!).

Almost finished with Freedom...actually at 93%. I really loved this book, love the complexity of Walter and Patty. I've already downloaded Room: A Novel. CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT! If you haven't heard about that yet, check it out:

Amazon.com: Room: A Novel (9780316098335): Emma Donoghue: Books: Reviews, Prices & more

Hope everyone is well...haven't heard from Haydee, is she gone? Laura, I LOVED cracker!!! That rain was crazy! Judy, don't get blown away! Jane, what is the Walmart meeting about if it was already approved? Michelle, what is up chica?

HAVE A GREAT DAY GIRLS!:biggrin::):w00t:

      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.
