Uplifting message from my MOM



Recommended Posts

My Mom and I have this weird connection. I have this same connection with my middle daughter. When one of us is feeling low or trodden upon and our self esteem is in the toilet, we either call the other or send inspirational emails like the one I just got from my sweet MOM. And believe me after a day like today I think we all could use some uplifting. I know I could. So read and enjoy.

Now where did I put that Tequila and Salt?

Subject: Tequila and salt

This should probably be taped to our bathroom mirrors where we could read it every day.

You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11 . Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember...when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!

Thank you Penni,that was great. I am going to send it some friends that are going through a hard time. I'm not a particularly mushy person so it is hard to do the cute card thing-but this speaks to me.

So thank you and your Mom.

BTW-I life my tequila shot glass in your direction

      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.
