Recommended Posts

lighter02, that link is not a good one, do you have the correct one? ~Mandy

Mandy, it looks like she might have spelled arrangements incorrectly. Maybe try www.ediblearrangements.com ???

Yup, that's it. Looks super yummy. Those arrangements are beautiful! Looks like someone could make their own basket just like it, but imagine the work...all that cutting!!!! They made my mouth Water, though!

My team was great to me too....however, as self pay.............$16,000 later, I would think that a note would suffice.

Thanks Guys, You've offered some great suggestions.

Going with the crafty theme, I've found a cross stitch project that if there is time, I might try. That may have to wait until later. It says something like, Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I haven't gotten to the "thin" feeling yet, but I think it will be something to remind all the weight loss patients that we're getting there. I thought it might be a good thing to put in the room where we get weighed. :biggrin1:

Since it is unlikely that I will be able to finish it in time for my anniversary, I will probably use some of your great ideas.

Thanks so much, Sylvia

The week after our son was born, we sent our obstetrician's office a gift basket of lollies, coffee, Cookies etc. At our 6-week visit, we took a personal thank you note we had made, that included a little pic of our dear boy. This got put on their "family" wall.

I agree that if you send a gift, it should be addressed to the whole office. A personal note with before and after pics would be just as much appreciated. My surgeon's office doesn't have these on public display (they should!!!), but I am sure they must recieve them, and maybe they have them on a staff notice board somewhere...

I know that these guys are just doing their jobs (for which they are well paid LOL!), but I think that it's nice to recognise the extra efforts they put in (eg. the weekend and late night calls, or the hours spent over their lives educating, learning and refining their skills), particularly when the results of their work are so life-changing.

      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.
