Recommended Posts

This is a great idea!!

I am 37 years old, happily married with no human children. We have 4 pugs, 2 rottweilers, and 3 cats. We live in central California, but are relocating to Pennsylvania within the next year.

I am a medical transcriptionist and work for a large company from home. I have a bachelor's degree in management and used to work for the railroad before MT'ing. I love to read, crochet, play with the dogs, work, laugh, and spend time with my husband who travels a lot.

I am a 51 year old grandmother. I am married and have a yellow lab named Casey. I love dogs, I collect angels and cyrstal figures. I love to read, take walks (which I haven't been able to do for awhile, can't wait till after surgery to do again) and movies, especially suspense and thrillers. I love flea markets and traveling. I usually put in a small garden each year and love lots of flowers.

Is someone in charge of the penpal situation? I was wondering if we are still supposed to PM someone or we are being matched up? :confused:

I love this penpal idea. However since I'm living in Portugal, some one from the UK would be ideal because of postage. (shipping to the US is WAY expensive and vice versa for some one shipping here.)

I'm 25, married for 2 yeas to a wonderful hubby. I'm orginaly from Florida, I have a B.S. in business management, but I teach English here in Portugal. I like to play tennis, I also play the flute, and I like to do lots of crafts like needle point and crocheting(sp) I'm not banded yet, but I'm in the process (docs appts and all) I don't have any kids, but I have 2 cats, I love animals.

Ok so should we find some one or is some one going to match us up with some one else?

If some one gives me the Go Ahead, I'll make a list of every one that signed up and work out a system to match people up. I can:

A:Make a summary list of every ones post and then you can pm me with who you would like to be matched up with and I'll set it up

B:Make a list of names and just randomly draw from a hat to match people up.

C:I can match up people who I think would be good penpals on my own.

What do you guys thinK? Or should we wait for the person who started the thread to come back and set things up?

      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.
