Labor Day Gift Exchange Thank You Thread



Recommended Posts

Okay, no one better feel sorry for me because I have the best substitute stiff anyone could ask for! I had a terrible day today but then I came home (after 15 hours at work) I had a package waiting for me. I opened it to find a Victoria Secret box with a pretty pink ribbon. I immediately could smell the scent of vanilla and I looooooooove vanilla. DrewsLou, my substitute stiff, got me a whole pamper package from Victoria Secret. Hand lotion, make up bag, shower gel, body lotion, the WORKS!!

DrewsLou, you are WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much for the gift! You really made me smile today!

Sorry I've been MIA lately guys, but I was in St.Agustine and I just got back to a computer now.

It sounds like things are working out. I haven't gotten any pm's from any one else saying that they are missing a gift so it sounds like we worked it out mostly. Is there any one else who hasn't gotten their gift? Alison, has your SS pm'ed you??

I was thinking about doing a Halloween exchange, but I think it might be a little close....so I was thinking about doing Thanksgiving instead. What does every one think? Or maybe we should just skip ahead and do a Christmas exchange....

input? ideas?

BTW I hope I'm not hogging the exchanges, if some one else wants to do one let me know and I'll step down. I'm happy to do them, but I don't want any one to think I've made it like "my" thing and no one else can do one.....let me know what u guys think.

Drew...you rock girl!

I'm all for a Halloween exchange. We could give people 2 -3 weeks to sign up and that would still allow plenty of time for shipping. JMO. We love Halloween at our house. The boys make it so much fun.

K@t did a wonderful thing by having Secret Stiffies. DREWS, you are the best!! I understand that things come up, but this was inexcusable. Princess, glad you got your gift on a day when you needed it the most.

I hope all those missing gifts get their packages soon.

And K@t.... I sooooo appreciate you taking the time to set these exchanges up! I know it must be time consuming and you are awesome! I don't think you are "hogging" anything!

If you have sent your gift and you haven't seen a thank you posted PLEASE pm me so I can check in with your SS. And as of right now 2 people (Alison and Texas Princess) haven't gotten their gifts. Any one else????

      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.
