Can't Live Without It...



Recommended Posts

I am such a geeky, techy person. I can't live without my treo 750 or my laptop. I also can't live without tivo, Peanut Butter tracks ice cream (bad, I know) my hubby, kids or two dogs!

One other thing I am very appreciative of having is my cell phone. I am going to be relying on it to spread news to the family of my DH's upcoming medical treatment again. I need a new phone...mine is old, and the battery is going to be more than replacing it with an updated model. Now------any suggestions for a phone? One to avoid????

Samsung just came out with a phone called the Jitterbug, which I think is a great concept. It's JUST a cellphone, no email, no camera, no games, nothing else. It's simple, to the point, and very well designed.

I've heard good things about the blackjack. I have the samsung version of the razor which I like, but for my next phone I think I want something that might combine PDA with phone, yet be small enough so that it isn't too big to just stick in my pocket or clip on my belt loop (of course I would have to have the keyboard and touch pen). They are doing interesting stuff with the slide outs and so forth and all that, so I'll wait a while as I'm still rather happy with my phone. Personally I always want more on stuff like phones.

The things I can't live without is the constant great support I get from my husband and my coworkers. Without them I would be nuts.

My Juki sewing machine. I quilt and this is a great must have. I love it.

DaVinci instant cappicino mix. I get it at Albertsons and it is only about 50 to 60 calories of yummy. And my doctor Scholl's walking shoes.

Well, jumping lizzards aside, I could not live without my lap band. I call it my PAL as LAP spelled backwards is PAL>

Ok, first off, Carlene, you have convinced me, after work I am going to go get some of those cheerios and try them out.

Back to phones, as mentioned, I am a major gadget geek. I like having my phone, calendar, contacts, tasks, games, weight tracker, expense tracker, weather, internet, messaging, and on and on all on one device. That is why I love my Treo 750. It is smaller than the old treos, and I either tuck it in my pocket or clip it to my pants with a case. I also love watching tv on it when I am stuck waiting in lines and stuff.

Thanks for all the heads up on the phones---plan on making a change tomorrow, I will be out of town for Memorial weekend, and need it to hold a charge for more than 30-45 minutes which is what mine is doing. It is an old Alltel phone---has always been pretty worthless!!! But at the time DH's employer bought it, so I took it!!! This one will be my choice though!

As for the cheerios, strawberry has never been my favorite---I will eat them as they come, the fruit itself, but anything strawberry flavored---no thanks!! So I only bought the one box, and it is packed away for our rally trip this weekend!!!

Thanks everyone!!

      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.
