Shrinking violets- part 6!!!



Recommended Posts

LOL Laura, I couldn't read it all...I saw something dipped in maple and had to scroll down!

Last night we had the windows open while watching TV (it was 83 yesterday) and my neighbor was bbq'ing...OMG, That was painful!!! I actually felt sick the tummy pains hurt that bad.

Well...TOMORROW MORNING I FIND OUT IF I AM NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED!!! What a long wait this has been. I REALLY NEED SOME PURPLE POWER KIDS! Please keep me in your thoughts. I would love to have this under my belt. There are 5 pieces, and I can pass all or some of them. If it is not all, then I make a quick decision (to try and get the funding) for retaking it!

As if I don't have enough on my mind right now!

Laura, that sounds really good! Maybe your mom can make doughnut pops as her signature item!!

Alright back to bank business. I didn't get it all figured out yesterday, adn I think it will probably take a few days for me to get it all straightened out!!

What is your board certification for? I thought all was done as far as your doctorate?

Oh well, off I go................

OOOO no Jane! That sucks. Last year I paid the gas company twice and then got a shut off notice from the electric company...haha...I am not allowed to pay the bills anymore!

Good luck sorting this out sweetie!

The Nat'l Boards are above and beyond. It is a very prestigious National recognition that would allow me to teach in any state (not that I would ever leave CA).

off to work!

Morning girls~

had a complete meltdown last night. Minimal calories, National Board scores pending, dad's passing 2 yrs ago Sunday, surgery Monday, teaching, having 33 papers to grade this weekend...omg, it is too much. It all hit at once, and I don't have the caloric intake to handle it. Crying now, just thinking about the stress...need to just get through the day.

not much else going on...wish me luck!

      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.
