Sure, I'll take some pics. With remnants of Ernesto floating through, we'll be inside and have some energy to burn. Pics of what I don't know but I'll try to keep it interesting or at least entertaining. :biggrin1:

me and DH are going to a family reunion on my mother in laws side. JOY!!!! I'm SO freaking excited! Can you tell I'm FREAKING excited!!!! I'd rather be at WORK I'm THAT freaking EXCITED!!! hahahaha. Me and the MIL don't get along. Her siblings and their kids all look at me like I'm the enemy for the most part. I'd rather be at someone's pool. Can I come over pool people???

This is the first year that we made no plans. Since I am newly Divorced we decided to split the weekend with the kids.

I guess I will just relax and enjoy my kids more so plus no work.. Maybe I can sleep in..

My DW has been on me to take care of a few outside chores. I guess that will be the first order of business. I'm sure she will be hitting the garage sales in the area. We are having a cookout on Monday. The rest will be family time. This is one of the few holidays we won't be going to the in-laws as they are in VA.

well, yesterday I drove to Portland and got a Mid-line...

Today I had a massage and a nap. Then I grilled some shrimp and stole some plants from my neighbor. Well, it isn't really stealing if you ask first... I was very careful, and when I was done you couldn't even see where I'd ravaged their garden.. but they had some sedum that I haven't seen before, and I want it for MY rock garden.

Tomorrow I pack up and make sure I have enough toys to keep me entertained while I wait for various appointments.

We head down to Portland super early Monday morning, like 4 am so I'm there in time for my 8 am appointment.

Because I'm so High, I full of energy and I'm going to see if Mike will take me to Home depot so I can get some hinges and some paint so I can make a deviders from the bi-fold doors I just scored. I need to get several sets of hinges and have Mike drill them and attach them and then I'll paint them. I figure I'll use them on one side of my car-port as a break.

Wheee!

"oh look! it's a Splinly 3/8" socket! Cool!" :help: I wonder if there is some sort of intervention for folks like me... Gosh, I sure hope not.

      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.
