Hope everything is ok! I'm so so very sorry you are going through this. My best friend had the same thing happen a few months ago. It's a terrible experience!

Wow, that is horrible. Lucky you are safe and you were not home at the time it started. Hope all is well with you, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

We weren't allowed back into our residents that night so we drove to my parents house in long beach. We just got back now. My place is ok there's just a smokey smell, there were 20 apts destroyed though and I can't believe those people lost all their possessions because of a single car fire. Here's an article that I saw. However it wasn't contained at 10 pm we were there till one and it was still going.

Hey Fyre,

Glad your ok, I know this had to be a really traumatic experience for you guys. I'm sure it will take a while for things to go back to some kind of "normal" around there.

Hi Fyre,

Glad you are ok. I told you I've been there. Do me a favor and take care of your emotion from this. It was a traumatic experience yes. I've been watching your post. Maybe get a couple therapy sessions in to deal with this. I'm so sorry about the other people and wish it didn't happen. Please take care of yourself. Have a great day, it's beautiful outside.

Fyre, I'm glad that you are ok, are you able to go back into the apartment or will you have to relocate until the building can be renovated?

Thank you for all the support! I was able to return here around 8:30 this morning. There was electricity but no water/cable/Internet so I've been in the same clothes for a long time and I smell like crap lol so just waiting for the Water. They have the Red Cross here giving ppl Water and food. This was defiantly an event I won't forget for a long time.

Thank you Fyre for the update. Things will gradually get back to normal in time. A shout out to the Red Cross who have people that do wonderful work in times of crisis. Oh the things we take for granted in our lives. Praying you get running Water soon. Take care of yourself.

      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.
