lunch WAS fun! I'm so glad you were there, Jennifer. And the 18th is just 4 days before your big day! Hope your car troubles are fixed by then, but if not, let us know. I could swing by, too, if you need a lift.

I too can offer a lift, don't know how close I am, but being where I am in charlotte, I'm pratically in Gastonia.

I forgot to ask if any of you wanted to borrow the ps1 dance dance revolution, or the xbox one. Let me know, I can always meet up to get you the game to try if you want.

Oh I have dance dance revolution already for the xbox. It's too umcomfortable for me to play currently. I do plan on working on it after surgery though.

Ugh, I don't think our car troubles will be over for a while. We basically need a new one and don't have the $$ yet. We have a tenative plan for my husband, he's in grad school. We are carpooling (he's a substitute teacher) and he's gotta find his own way home. This leaves daycare for me, to and from. Traffic is so hectic in the afternoon.

I figure there's no rush with surgery coming up. That should buy us an extra 4 weeks, however, I'm reading people are returning work way sooner than 4 weeks out.

I will let you guys know if I need a ride. I do live close than goodness I'm not out in the stix.

Kathy - you seemed so firmilar to me. I don't think we've ever met before but it seemed like I knew you.

hmmm...maybe? Perhaps we have a mutual friend? I'll try and think how we might have met. Here's some hints?

I attend church in Huntersille, I have lived out this way since I was married almost 9 years ago, so for as long as you have been here.

My MIL is in a nursing home in Stanley.

My daughter is 6, in the 1st grade, but we talked enough about kids and schools that we'd have found a connection, I'd think.

I used to belong to Curves on Mt Holly-Huntersville Rd at Rozzels Ferry.

Do you know anyone who is mentally retarded? Seriously! I used to work for an agency in Charlotte and have met a TON of people all over town.

I have a friend who used to live in Gastonia. Her hubby is a pastor, and used to pastor a Presbyterian Church in Gastonia. She's the friend who used to teach at Piedmont Charter.

hmmmm...keep thinking!

      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.
