Recommended Posts

Anyone have something happy to share? Any good news is welcome!

Anything made you laugh or smile recently?

happy things only...

Here's one -

Anne jumped on her 2-wheel bike today and took off with NO help :clap2: . She was smiling from ear to ear - as well as laughing and singing to the top of her lungs!

Big milestone in her little life.

Seeing this made me smile - laugh actually.

Your turn!

Not sure it qualifies but after 2 weeks of the beach in Nantucket with 4 kids (you drive right onto the beach there)....I got my trashed truck detailed yesterday....you can only imagine the amount of sand inside........now I can sit down without sand stuck to my legs!

Oh, and I saw my first hummingbird -- ever!

It does seem like the dreary & bad news all comes at once....maybe that's a good thing....so the rest of the time can be happy.......hang in there Paula!

The Lord is providing a house at a VERY low interest rate (3% 1st yr, 4% 2nd year, 5% life of the loan) .....and it's BRAND NEW....so my husband and I are VERY excited!!! It is SO MUCH more house than we thought we could ever afford w/ the low interest rate!!! It should be done in a month.....maybe less!! We also get to watch it being built....very exciting!!! And I got to show it to my best girlfriend last night when she surprised us by coming to town!! Good day yesterday!

Oh.....and I can eat solid food after being on liquids the last 3 weeks!!! Woooohooooo!!!

God Bless,

Melody

Getting a vehicle DETAILED after 2 weeks at the beach leaves a BIG smile on MY face.. and its not even MY truck.

actually - ANYTIME I clean my van I get a smile. But fill-it with sand and heat and kids and all the food & body smells for TWO weeks :omg:...

Yep, I say this definately qualifies for the Happy Thread. :biggrin1:

Eileen, you get the prize for the #1 Happy Comment. That IS the best news one could ever receive! :clap2:

Melody, WOWOW, that IS great interest rates.

But the best news is to finally eat solids, yum. food will never taste as good as it does now.

anyone else have happy news to share??

My daughter is a musician. All during her growing up years, we went to every recital, every concert, even in college. Now she is on her own and we don't get to hear her very often. Yesterday, she and her partner had a picnic gig near our house. I went and was so proud.

      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.
