Alabama sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm all for that, maybe get some more of us to meet up at a condo on the beach. Aren't there some from Jacksonville? We have to pull something together and I have always wanted to have a girls weekend trip.

I only live 800 feet off the coast LOL ! ! !

We're minutes from Navarre beach. Literally the big bridge that gets you over to the barrier island is less than 3 minutes from my front door.

I wonder if I could kick the boys out for the weekend, and have y'all over. The condos are super expensive here during the spring/summer months. But, there's a couple of hotels that are great.

I have a guest room with a futon, and double mattress queen size air mattress that sleeps better than the futon.

Anyways, we can definitely get something together.

It'll take some planning, but it can be done. Maybe we could split the cost of a couple hotel rooms if it would be awkward to stay at my place. We could all eat at my house instead of eating out.

Here's some pictures of Navarre Beach, and I absolutely love it ! ! !

We had our 2008 family pictures taken on the beach:

The Water is amazing here, and the beaches are well kept.

Anyways, sorry for the all the pictures.

We should set up a phone call night, and try to hammer out the details.

My husband loves to golf - in fact we live on a golf course. There are 3 skills to golfing - 1. playing golf 2. driving the cart and 3. drinking beer. If you can answer yes to 2 of those you are a golfer. Tiff, you think your hubby is a golfer? lol Due to the arthritis in my knees and back I no longer play but I'm still a golfer! I guess after this surgery I'll after to try to play again as I can't drink the beer.

Kabranda,

I had to laugh about the 3 requirements to play golf and you are so right there. My husband and I and my daughter and ex played and my daughter and I drove a cart and proceeded to drink our way around the course with many bathroom brakes. We had the best time. I barely play. That could definitely be in your new healthy future.

Tiffy, thank you for those pictures, I just love it down there and you are so lucky to live so close to the beach. Please don't kick your two men out for us though! If we have enough people we can stay in a couple of rooms or rental for the weekend. Don't know if that's doable or who else might want to come but what a great idea and lovely coast for a meet and greet! (Your son looks so cute and embarrassed at you guys kissing.) I'm going to two class reunions this summer, one in July and one in August. Lets talk more.

LOL Kabranda, you wouldn't want my husband driving the cart and drinking beer. Ha ha ha

I'll start calling some of the hotels and getting rates. My folks are coming here in July, and they got a little 3 bed/2bath rental on the beach for 5 days. All the ones we called on wanted at least a full 7 days booked.

So, I'll call some hotels, and some of the condo rentals to see what I can find for weekend rates.

We'll get all this figured out.

I'm in Locust Fork and will be a band to sleeve revision. Can any of you tell me some things to expect? I know somethings will be similar yet not to when I had my band done but I'm more nervous now than when I had my band.

Hi all! Looks like the AL group has been abandoned. Anyway, I was sleeved on the 16th of this month, March! So far so good. Just a bit bored with the liquid diet and ready to get to soft foods.

      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.
