Recommended Posts

Where the heck is he?

Here in the Panhandle of Texas we're used to seeing major snow and blizzards and ice and all the other nasty stuff associated with Winter.

We have not seen but a trace of snow and only 1 day of ice...Im not complaining, but this drought SUX! My yard is brown, dry and crunchy...blech!

The forecast for Amarillo today...Sunny & 65 degrees! Great Harley riding weather for sure. I told hubby that God was smiling down on all the motorcycle owners.

I hope Old Man Winter awakens from his autumn nap soon and blankets the top o texas with a foot of snow! We sure need some moisture!

Isn't it weird?! I'm up in Michigan. We should have a foot of snow right now with a windchill of -10. Yesterday we saw people walking around in shorts!! Okay, it was only 45, but for January in Michigan that's a heat wave.

Well he sure aint here - it's the height of summer. It's been over 40 degrees Celcius, which is well over 100 Fahrenheit here lots of days recently and sooooo steamy. I've been throwing tantrums trying to do my hair, lol, I have sort of curly frizzy hair and it takes a goodly amount of blowdrying and a straightening Iron to get it to look good. I'm dripping sweat as I"m trying to do it, and its just curling right up again, or I get it done, walk outside and it just pouffs right up. It's also been really steamy and humid, we have evaporative aircon and it just cant even work in this kind of humidity, the house feels all damp, the floors are slippery and all the dust has turned to mud.

And we're in the grip of a long running drought. We cant Water our gardens, the kids cant play outside under a sprinkler etc etc. It's been awful.

He is hiding from us here in the White Mountains of AZ also. We have had only a trace of snow and 2 days of VERY BAD Ice after a little rain. There were over 15 accidents from the ice. Az drivers just don't know when to slow down!

We need moisture soooooooooooo bad or we just wont have the beautiful forest anylonger. I don't want another forest fire like we had a few years ago! I don't, I don't, I don't!!!!!!!!!

Please pray hard for snow or rain!!!

      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.
