Texarkana Bandsters



Recommended Posts

The next TXARKA meeting is on the 14th. Man am I stressed, I had to leave work early today and get Gus to the doc. He has the beginning of pneumonia and I'm glad I took him. Doc said he should be feeling better by Wednesday, if not bring him back in.

I'm so stressed I can hardly get liquids to go down today! Geez!

Shannon, sorry you are so stressed. I know what that means. I'm dealing with that myself. lol Hope Gus gets to feeling better soon. That's hard on a little guy to be sick and it so warm outside.

Glo.... I guess the diet is ok. It sounds like a sensable diet to me. Really, it's kinda just getting back to the basics. And I think it's mostly for bypass patients, but it might work fine for us too. I might just try it myself. Of course the liquid phase is not gonna fun.

The recipes look good. I might try some of them. NOT. I try my best not to cook.

I jogged and walked for lunch. At home I walked and stayed outside. I don't remember slimfast being so sweet. It is soooo sweet until I don't want anything that resembles sugar in any form. Now mind you this is today, tomorrow I could be tripping. I'm not even hungry. I'm getting my Water in too. Look, I don't mean to be tooting my horn, but I am proud of myself. I feel like I might can do this. I also talked to God and asked for a lot of help with this. Sorry if I'm getting on anyone's nerve. I don't know what I'll do tomorrow because of rain, I guess I'll have to improvise.

You can do it Glo! Don't worry bout tooting your own horn. That is what this is all about. The down side and the up side. Hills and valleys. You know bout those. I think I'm half way up the mountain. lol

Thanks Lisa.

Great for your success as well. Climbing toward the mountains is great, it's just down in the valleys that suck.

Lisa, when I saw you the first time you looked great and the last time I saw you, you were looking even greater. I know my grammer sucks.:thumbs_up:

Susan, I know that you are doing great. I haven't seen you in a while. Maybe when it gets warm I'll come back to a mtg with LouAnn and we can talk.

I know Lisa, Stay in the box.

Oh, My gosh, Lisa and Susan, I just looked at your weight loss and how many (less) you both have to go. Congratulations:thumbup:

Susan, I had the boat ready so I could get to school, but wouldn't you know it, the rain stopped, but not before it made our backyard a pond.

Sun is sort of shining here in Daingerfield now. I think that they said that the rain would be back.

Lisa, my box floated away also. After school, I'll shopping for another one, but in the meantime I'm drinking my slimfast. I really forgot how much I hate that drink, but the memories are coming back, arrgh!!!!!!!!

I have a friend that has a 5" rain gauge and she said it was running over this morning. There is Water over the road in many places, and two underpasses were closed this a.m., early. When I left to go to town this morning about 7:00 it was pouring, couldn't tell the difference where the road started and the ditch ended. The weatherman says it is supposed to be worse tomorrow! Better get the oars out. We can't hold any more water here in Arkansas. Take care and be careful.

Lo2us, how's little Gus? I know you are exhausted, no fun having a sick toddler. Hope he gets better quickly.

Sugarbear, I heard that you all got a lot of rain. Arkansas has really had some awful weather lately as well as Oklahoma. We have truly been blessed here in East Tx. I like your snail,it seems appropriate for me and my weight loss. :rolleyes:

Lo2us, hope your son feels better soon. :redface:

Our rain gauge said 4" this morning. The bus Tanner would be riding, (if he were riding) drowned out down the road from us. We were kinda trapped for a while. Randy said the spot where the bus drowned out was VERY deep. He went across about 5 this morning. Up the road from our house, the Water was over the road in three places. It's about 1 1/2 miles to the FM road to town. Tanner had an appointment with his optometrist this morning at 8:30, so we were playing in the water. I sometimes wish I had a 4 wheel drive truck when it does this stuff. Sure would feel much safer in it rather than that little Malibu I have. lol Oh, and my dirt pile..... not a pretty site this morning. lol It's spread out in places I didn't want it to be. I guess that's were it needs to be anyway. Water runs to the low spots anyway.

My box floated down river. If yall find it in Texarkana, please send it back. I need it in the worse way. It was getting holes in it but it did help some. I think I'm gonna ask for a slight unfill when I go back. I'm not losing. Before I went back to this last time I had lost pretty well. Of course I always gain some before I go back. (I wonder why that is?) THAT 6 POUNDS IS NOT GOING AWAY. I WANT A NEW BOX! Never mind about sending the old one back.

Sugar B...... three??? What are you doing? Are you cutting the old ones out of your signature? Sooner or later, you won't be able to get another ticker in your signature. It will only allow so many lines, unless they have changed it. Oh well, we can keep up with your progress that way. Go, sugarb!

Shannon, how's Gus?

Yall take care and try not to float away in your boxes today.

Lisa

After you reach your one yr anniversary band date, how often are you scheduled a fill? Will it still be on a 6 week basic?

      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.
