Feeling guilty for living in Florida...



Recommended Posts

I got my band done in FL. Surgeon was based out of Zephyrhills. I'm sure it's the same place.

Born and raised Floridian right here!! B)

I LOVE Florida and if I ever have to leave, it WILL NOT be anywhere cold. I do not know how to live in the cold. When it gets cold down here in Orlando, (which is around 60-65 degrees to me), i get totally confused on what clothes to wear. My usual cold outfit is tights, a hoodie sweater with a tank top and flip flops. :blink:

I live in McAlpin, Fl. Near Lake City (North Fla) 45 minutes North of Gainesville (Go Gators). I was raised in Orlando and have lived in Colorado for a short time. too cold for me. It snowed non stop from Sept. til May . I hate cold weather. My husband is originally from Chicago, he tried to get me to move there years ago, I said NOT, now he would never live in Chicago again.

I live in RI, the state that recently received the dubious honor of being the most corrupt state in the country. My property taxes are $7000 per year and I don't live in a luxury home. I'm a bank teller and my hubby is a mechanic, the taxes are killing us! We are seriously considering moving south where the cost of living is much, much lower. Bonus - milder winters and gun-friendly. We're thinking the Carolinas or maybe Georgia.

I will miss all the people I've gotten to know over the last 50 years but I'm friendly - I'll get to know more people wherever we end up. :-)

Around the Daytona Beach area myself. Love being 3.5 miles from the beach. I'd take this heat anytime over the snow any day. And my fella...also a fellow New Englander loves my town so he's planning on moving here too!!! Come on 2015!!! Let's get here already!!! Lol.

And Mother Nature and God have given us the most marvelous weekend in a long time! Dry air and warm temperatures. Almost too cool for the pool for this transplant Floridian.

Hi Ya'll, haven't been to this section in a while. Well, gmanbat, how do you like us now? I have had to do my one hour outside walk, earlier and earlier. But still loving the weather! If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

I am a Florida girl too. I know some people think it's too hot but I'll take it over snow, ice, sleet and rain anytime.

We have had family in town this week and have really enjoyed eating on the patio every night. I wish the temp would stay this way through the summer. It's been beautiful :)

      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.
