Hello.. So what’s the next big adventure Lisa?

I’m planning my summer and keep using Disneyland for blackmail. It’s got Hunter out of night-time pull-ups and he's wiping his own ass:clap2:

Is the bash for sure the last weekend of Aug? I can try to use it as an excuse to buy more toys?

Everything is justified! I’m saving my money

You'all can come to my pad...we're de-winterizing the boat next week and it's been raining for weeks. Lots of Water in the lake, surfs up!

I don't have any fun planned for 3 solid weeks (maybe I'll try that "sleep" stuff I hear people talking about.) End of month is Laughlin River Run (biker weekend at the river) then the following weekend is a Slumber retreat in San Diego, where I invited Penni to come to Sea World with my Slumber family.

Vera, one day we'll get there, but this paralegal thing keeps me tied to limited vacation hours. It's a vicious circle, how can I book parties when I have to work, and how can I work if I have to book parties? Most gals quit their full time jobs in their 2nd year of Slumber, and if I quit I give up a large percentage of my 401K money. DOH!

Yes, the bash is still on! Vera, I'd LOVE to come for a boat ride but my vaca days are all spent this year.

Paula, did I eat any Cajun food? Are you nuts? Uh, YES! I ate at Buba Gumps, plus fried catfish on Bourbon Street, plus we rode out to some really fun place where locals danced to a Cajun Band, where we ate some corn things that were Heavenly. And we ate crocodile and Dirty Debris Gumbo. I've eating crap called "southern food" here in Nevada, but ain't nuthin' like the grub down there!

Thats exactly what Mikes people in NC say. People try to imitate cajun food, but they just know have the knack. :biggrin1:

When my parents make gumbo, its takes them a full 6 hours of work. Stirring, chopping, adding, stirring, boiling, adding, simmering, adding more, stirring, stirring, stirring....

You ate CROC????? OMG. I actually havent tried that.

Ive had alligator, but never crocodile. Was it good? Did it taste like "chicken"?

Maybe I ate alligator??? Is there a diff between alligator and crocodile? I know we ate one of them though, and I know I need to know the next time you're making real gumbo. I never liked gumbo till I hate that garbage in New Orleans (they call it debris gumbo.) Sooo good!

      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.
