Kyethra,

You sound really busy.Today I started making ugly quilt sleeping bags for the homeless. Here is the site if you want to watch the little movie on it.

I went to wal-mart and bought 5 panles of footprints in the sand.

My step Mom and I are making them together. If you know of anyone interested in joining us please let me know.

Yep...I do the same thing. My downfall is trying to drink and eat at the same time. You think I'd know by now that I shouldn't do that, but I'm too stubborn. Ata, I went to the U of I too! Congrats on getting your masters. I got my degree in January 2000 in Human Development & Family Studies, but now I work in accounting. Funny how that works out huh? I hope you can join Terry and myself for lunch sometime. We used to meet once a month, but that fell to the wayside with the holidays and everything. Hoping to pick that up again soon.

Hi there again! I was just looking at old posts to this thread and wanted to ask you about your hair. Did it finally grow back for you?

Yup, I have hair again! And my hair grows fast! it grows a good 1.5 inches or so a month. Its now poofy around my ears. I experiment with different styling products to keep it down-- when I wake it up it tends to like to stand up straight or else I have a hairdo that sort of resembles wolverines. Not the best looks for me. But when I get it to behave, its adorable :)

every time I go to save it as my signature it says invalid file.Now what do I do??lol Penny

Shoot! Now I'm not sure what to do. I didn't have that problem. I'm sorry. Maybe you could use the ticker help menu and see if there are any suggestions. Maybe someone else on this thread has ticker problems and advice. Anyone???

Doctor Sidney did my surgery.He is very good.Just remember not not to rush solid foods.do as he says and let your body heal before doing solids.I havent had any trouble and will soon be going for my second fill Jan14 that is.When you do finally get to eat solids remember to chew ,chew ,chew.My husband sometimes has to remind of this.I think the hardest thing is not drinking while your eating your meal.Good luck .Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Penny

Hi All!! I am new to the group. I am going to see Sid at John Warner on the 8th of February. I am really excited. I have been thinking about doing this for a couple of years now. Did anyone else have their surgery in Clinton?

Just so you know, I LOVE THE ILLINI!!! I am gearing up for the best basketball season ever! I am a teacher and I told the kids that if they won at the Bowl, they would not have homework for a month!

      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.
