I want a favor for our country

Recommended Posts

I know this is alot to ask but i am going to anyways. My SIL has had a hard life. She married young, had a baby young and ended up in an abusive relationship that took her 8 years to break free from. In the process she had to leave her dd with her Xhusband's mother. (DD is in the best home for her) Anyways on to my favor, She has just decided to do something with her life so she just joined the army. I have never been so proud of her and I know boot camp will be the hardest 10 weeks of her life. I think it would be so awsome for her to recve postcards from all over the country wishing her well and thanking her for serving our country. It would make her day knowing that so many people are cheering for her. So that is my question, Would any of you be willing to drop Debbie (SIL) a line? I will have her addy on monday of next week... Thanks...

Ohh by the way MY DH IS IN BANDLAND WITH ME!!!!!

JMO, Count me in! It's been ages since I had a penpal (not that I expect her to write back). It reminds me of how excited I was to receive my own mail! Oh, to be young & hopeful again!

I'll be happy to send a postcard/short letter, everyone needs a little friendly support during Basic Training! ugh!

      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.
