Recommended Posts

OMG - I don't know what I'm thinking, not paying attention I guess. You're in NE Texas, not NW!!! We lived in Henderson for 20 yrs before we left the Lone Star State....I bet you know where that is.....well, maybe not, it's a little town, not far from Tyler, Longview....just a hop, skip and a jump from Kilgore! We are hoping to sell soon, we've been 'on the market' for almost 11 months. People are not clamoring to move to central Wisconsin. Go figure! LoL Our fingers and toes are crossed!!! Thanks for the encouragement. I am sure I prayed for patience at some point when the girls were young, and NOW I'm being taught and tested!!! :rolleyes: I hope you've had a nice day......take care, it was great hearing from you!!!! Keep in touch if you think of it and have time!

Hey girl,

Very happy to hear from you. No the wild fires have not touched us here in the piney woods, but last time I was in FW the big digital signs around 820 west were flashing the warnings and that was last month. I forget how truly big our state is. I love it!

wow Los Colinas is such a nice area and so busy. I love going there and glad you will be living there soon. I understand the aging parent recall, I moved to NE Tx to help my mom with my grandparents and really miss being home. Thanks for responding and keep in touch. Let me know how the move is going. May your house go soon and for a good price. Welcome home!

I do know where Henderson is, although not sure if we've been there we go to Tyler and Longview all the time. Hope your house sells soon. I too learned my lessons about praying for patience. I will pray God get you a buyer soon and a good price. get home as soon as you can.

Hi Jovigrl62!! My dad lives in Longview and my in-laws live right outside of Tyler. Small world! We just changed realtors....or will be this week. The contract with the other realtor expired at midnight this past Friday. We'd been listed with them for a yr!!! It is time to try something new, fresh...shake it up a little. We are hopeful. This lady is a certified stager too, so she tells us what to do, where to put things, what to put away. She had us paint the kitchen a neutral color. Our fingers are crossed - it would be nice to move before fall!!! Thanks.....we appreciate all prayers!.

I'm in San Antonio. I'm getting sleeved on June 28th with Dr. Cavazos. I would really like to meet others who have been with him. I am very anxious to learn as much as I can and get myself mentally prepared.

No. I had my surgery at a downtown hospital because of the revision specialist I used. It is too far for me to drive downtown on a weekday to their support groups. If you know of any in the area, let me know!

I would like to join the support group and I live in Tomball, TX off Spring Cypress near 249. Could we just meet at a restaurant the first time and discuss locations?

I live near Katy. I live in Cypress. I go to Katy all the time to visit my grandchildren. Are you willing to be a buddy? I just had my surgery on June 22nd and am progressing every day. I noticed you are 9 months out! Wow! That is impressive. I know it will be a different me in nine months. I can't wait.

      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.
