Challenge: To Be A Blessing



Recommended Posts

Leatha, you might find an appropriate card at something like a Hallmark shop. My DD got one for me for Father's Day last year...made for the single Mom who filled the Dad role too. They make all kinds! And although I know we need to find ways besides food to Celebrate everything, since he has kids, maybe a plate of cookies...or some movie passes...coupon for free movie rentals...a gift certificate to putt-putt golf... I guess it would all depend on the age of the kids. I think any type of acknowledgement would be great! Mother's Day may be a difficult one for him if it reminds his children of what they don't have. You have a wonderful heart for thinking to do nice things for him....

Keep on going, Angels! Leatha, you are so wonderful to think of that grumpy man! I think you are being guided to minister to this man, and showing love and kindness toward him is surely a blessing to him.

Let's keep blessing others...it's truly the best feeling!

Happy Mother's Day! Cindy

      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.
