I have family in Granite Falls. Hutto is the last night. Not sure where abouts they live though. (my grandfathers nephew)

Okay, so I went to college at Montreat and had a classmate named Charlie Hutto. He and his family lived in Black Mountain. What's the possibilitiy?

Okay, Denika, I went to post the link to the picture thread but I see you found it! See, you get along just fine in here! Can't wait to read your blog.

Kim,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about Jamie! I'm a little proud, but I'm sure you noticed.

How old is Curtis? I've never heard of the birth defect that you said he has, but I read just a little bit about it. It sounds like you've been through a lot too! I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't had much support. That is sooo important. We had zero support at first, but we were very blessed to find a website and a listserv for parents of cleft-affected children. Even though we don't live close to many people on there, it has been a big help to us. No matter what stage of your journey you are at, there is always someone there who has already been there. Kind of like here! :))

I'm so glad that Clomid worked for you! Believe me, it is not fun to arm your husband with a needle and let him give you shots! I would definitely go through it all again though. We'd love to have another baby at some point, but I'm not getting any younger. Do you have other children?

Oh, and you ARE right! I do love this place!

Denika

Lynda,

Yes, my pic is definitely there, and very BIG! I won't do that again! Oh, and don't worry, in six months you'll be there, and may have lost way more than that.

      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.
