Did your penpal contact you via email with the initial question? Maybe we should have a respond by date with shipping tracking number. Those who didn't get one can be regrouped together?

Personally, I think if someone doesn't send one for any reason! than they should not be able to participate. People are taking the time, energy, and money to do these. It isn't fair to shell out and not get anything in return.

I'm sorry but I just have to say this.... I hope you understand and maybe it will help and maybe it won't I don't know....

Hey you know what I got from my Pen Pal in February.... nothing, they didn't send me a box.... I'm glad I sent my box out though....cause the Pen Pal I had loved the items I included in her box....

You know what I got in my box from my Pen Pal in March..... nothing, my second Pen Pal didn't send out a box either... And I sent out two box in March because of a miscommunication I wanted to make sure what has been happening to me didn't happen to others, so I had two names and I sent to both.... I know at least one person loved the items in her box because she sent me a message thanking me, I'm sure the other person enjoyed the items too......

Seriously folks if your going to sign up for this Pen Pal project, at least follow through and do what you promise to and if your having your surgery in a particular month (like I'm having my surgery on April 8, I plan to not participate for April because I know it will be too hard to deal with my health and trying to deal with filling a box with items and mailing it off.... so sit out the month of your surgery or if you insist on being in the project, as I said earlier, have the decency to follow through and send out your box.

I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bitching or whatever, but I am sure I am not the only one this has happened to, I know the person organizing this whole thing didn't get a box in February either.... it's just not fair.[/quote']

Are you serious??

I can't believe it happened to you again!! This is meant to be a fun way to help each other and not for some to abuse!

I'm so sorry and it is my hope that you will still get your box by the end of the month. I've been doing some thinking and I think I am going to have to change some of the rules! It was different when I wasn't the one that got a box but for you to go two months and not get one really bothers me!!

I'm not home right now but email me your pal for this month, ill get in touch with them. I should be back home in a few days.

Sorry Hun!!

That's just not wright 2 months in a row if your going to join you have to give the same respect to your pin pal and send there box how would you feel if it happened to you and especially TWICE in a row if there's a problem you have to let Tasha know so this doesn't keep happening or it might not continue cause its not right to send and not get one

So' date=' I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating.

If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!!

      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.
