Good Morning all..... its Saturday!

Eileen: Super glad surgery is over for Olivia. :confused: And that parking thing made me mad! We had to pay in Los Angeles, but not that much.

Beanie: Your posts always make me laugh, and I needed to smile this morning. Hey, don't they automaticly take OUT the calories from cheesecake when it's made? We gotta find you an alternate treat.

Darcy: I continue to post here cause YOU will take me to your cabin.... I just have to be thin enough to fit thru the door! Support coming your way as you study for that externship in dog training (and you will find time to post also).

Today is another super cleaning day..... but I have the kids and they will make the progress abit slower. I also got a surprise from my Mom, she sent me $200 for my attorney fee:) So now I just need to add postage and pray that insurance gives me my lapband approval. One day at a time.

Yesterday I woke up and my left ankle is slightly swollen. It's a sign that my body is not as healthy as I once was and time to change my lifestyle. So, I'm gonna drink lots of Water, elevate my leg, drink grapefruit juice(natural diaretic) and p p lots. I'm hoping to visit Disneyland tonight at about 6pm. They have halloween decoration up and the walking will do me some good. So thats my plan for today. Hugs all!

Good morning!

Thanks, Eileen, for the update on Olivia! I pray she recovers and heals completely. Good for you for doing some shopping! Another catalogue that carries "giraffe" sizes are L.L. Bean...they have talls (34" inseams). I like their jeans and khakis; I'm so glad I can wear them again. I normally wear 18s, but in their sizes, I need a 20. You can look at their stuff online.

Patty, what a blessing! Put a stamp on that sucker, and let's get started on the appeal process! Have fun in the Land! Make sure you keep that ankle up for a while, even though you are busy!

Rita, good luck with your job hunt? What kind of job are you looking for?

Eileen, you asked how many days are on the "count down to retirement"? On Monday, 52 days! I am only counting work days, not the weekends.

I've got to get DD ready to go visit my sister and the baby cousin...I'll check back later!

Hope everyone's having a great OCTOBER DAY!!!!

Oops, I just figured it out....there's probably an October thread....okay, I'll go look for it....dang, I do this every month!

Mouse I am looking for almost anything, within 20 miles from my house. I would like a front desk receptionist/clerical, I was taught by the attorney I worked for the 18 months she was a great teacher but I basically just know her office stuff. she is winding down her practice to work for the state doing law guardian for displaced children, so the deal didnt include me OH well. I applied at Lakeland bank as a file clerk. you see life experience is great but I have no college degree and I only reentered the work force 2 years ago after being home for 11 years. also before I styed home I owned my own salon with my ex-husband. my weight and age are a factor why I am not going back to cut hair...

but now that I am in ONEderland my be things will change.

thanks for asking hope I wasnt to long winded

      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.
