OMG, Erin & Our Company Potluck


DeLarla

Recommended Posts

Those of you who have followed my Erin stories will (un)appreciate this one! Today we're having a traditional potluck (we'll talk about my to-die for cranberry walnut stuffing later.)

Erin just announced to the firm that it's time to eat. It's only 10:15 in the morning and she's heating up dinner for the whole firm! I told her it's way too early, but she's telling everyone that we're getting off at noon, which is NOT true. Our firm always lets us go an hour early (I've been here 5 years, things don't change.) So she's convincing people to eat by saying we're closing soon.

AARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Actually, I'm busting up laughing right now. Erin's got the microwave going heating up food, while Jon (one of the attorneys) is looking at his watch like she's gone mad.

So yes, please come fast, and bring the straight jacket. And this time it's not for me, put the girl away!

No Estella, this Jersey girl ain't holding you back... I'm going to get the popcorn so I can watch ROFLMFAO!!! Its 2:10 pm here so I'm allowed ehehehehe.

Maybe one of the attorneys should tell her to back away from the food. How embarassing.

I just don't know what to do with that woman! Our managing partner was out of the office and came back just as we were finishing. He apparently told Erin he'd be back in time for lunch and even said, "How come you started without me?" Erin responded, "Because WE were hungry." Then everyone started chiming in that Erin has been ready to eat dinner since 9:00 this morning and kept going in people's offices ever 15 minutes saying, "Time to eat." I refused to go in there till 11:00 though, so everyone followed my lead and made her wait till 11:00... BUT ON THE DAMN DOT cause nobody could hold her back any longer.

      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.
