Gonna miss you!



Recommended Posts

I'm getting ready today to go on a camping trip to the beach. I'll only be gone a week but I find that I'm already feeling sad that I won't be keeping in touch with all of you! This forum has been so helpful to me. I just want to take a minute and thank all of you for participating and sharing your thoughts and stories. I can't imagine how marooned I would have felt if I hadn't been able to reach out to you during this major change in my life.

I'll be making a special trip to the grocery store after we get the camp site set up to buy all the right things for me to be eating. I'm looking forward to mentally checking out for a little while.

Some of you know that last fall I had to go to Missouri because my mother and brother were in terrible shape. I ended up having to go to court to get guardianship of both of them. It was hard but it has worked out to be the best thing for everyone. The sheer amount of work and stress was something I never want to go through again.

This is the 1st vacation I've had since then and I'm really looking forward to relaxing. I'm going to take care of myself and laugh A LOT! And walk on the beach and listen to the waves crash....

Again, thank you all. You don't know how much you have helped me.:)

Thanks, Carla! I'm back. You're right, the ocean breezes calmed me down to the point that I forgot to worry about ANYTHING! I'm so mellow now!

I took a "rescue" dog with me. His name is Rootie (miniature schnauzer) and he was a very fearful dog when I first got him 6 months ago. He cowered whenever you touched him, was afraid of noises, and NEVER played, with my other dogs OR with me.

It was WONDERFUL to see him at the beach. He actually RAN with me and the other dog I took! I started just playfully running with Raven, one of my Shelties, and I was so surprised to see Rootie join in! Tail up, ears up, mouth open, tongue lolling out, and happier looking than I've ever seen him! See? The ocean is healing for dogs too!

      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?

      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.
