Hey everyone I have become addicted to this sight. I cant wait to get on the computer everyday and see whats going on with everyone. I am going to go thru withdrawal for most of the month of September because of my painting schedule. I will be out of town a lot and even if I had a laptop Id be too tired to get on it. I would rather be on this sight more than watching t.v. And I have let my housework go. I am not complaining but I am nervous about all I have to do next month. This sight has encouraged me to start exercising and eat healthier. Actually all of you have. I can count on Lisa and Darcy to make me laugh daily. And Alex and Donali have been so helpfull. I had a great time in the chat room with Michelle Whippledaddy and Lioness last night.. You are all great.Leatha Teresa New Hope Betty , all of you have been like a second family to me. Any way please do not forget me. I am going to try and read as much as I can but doubt Ill get to post much. I would appreciate prayers for this difficult month I have coming up. I am kind of nervous about all the physical aspect. My partner and I are going to faux paint and do murals in 6 model homes. Thats a lot of setting up and ladder work. All this starts next monday, so I will appreciate any support. And I want you all to know that I will be thinking of you all and wishing you all a good loosing month and well being... Thanks to all of you...Janie

Best of luck to you Janie!! Please be careful going up and down those steep ladders. Why don't you post some of your work in pics here? I'd love to see your murals. I, too, am hopelessly addicted to this site. I turn the computer on first thing a.m., check it out, numerous times through out the day, and last thing at night. My husband (skin-flint) says he's going to get a band and a computer so that I'll talk to him:rolleyes: Take care of yourself!:D

Best of luck Janie, please check in if you get a chance to. I would love to see some pictures too. It sounds like you have a lot to do, just remember to take care of yourself.

Wow, that's impressive work. You will do fine, I know it. It must be great for you not to have a hum drum job. You're very fortunate in that regard.

Hey, you know what? I'm addicted to this place too. It's my haven from the crappier parts of my life.

Thanks Kelly and Ryan. I have a partner we have been in business foe 8 years and we paint in the DFW and Denton area. Our prices range according to how long we think something will take. We worked in a sweet little 85 year old ladys house and we made 200 a piece. But everything is diffrent. My favorite thing to paint is childrens rooms. I painted baby farm animals in my granddaughters room and puppy dogs in my grandsons room. Thanks for your words of encouragement...Janie

      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.
