Recommended Posts

Quick update...We have 8 people confirmed...Nancy, Leatha, Betty, Paula, Ginny, Lisa Green, Kathy, and me!!

Would each of you please bring a "Before" picture? This will be great to see our progress!

Last weather check is showing Saturday 64*/56* (breezy w/some clouds), Sunday 66*/57* (chance of drizzle). But anybody familiar w/ Texas weather knows it can change hourly. So I'm personally predicting lots of sunshine, breezy, fun, and perfect. ('Cause that's what it will be in the condo, regardless of the outside weather, Right?)

Ok well I feared this would happen but my friend Kathys' hubby will not be in town so that means shes not able to be with us in Galveston. Bummer, shes such a joy to be around too. I wish you ladies could have met her.

Thanks Michelle, I wish you lived closer too so we could meet you too. Hopefully one of these days we can plan something that we can all come to. It's too bad we don't all live closer together.

I will definately take a lot of pictures and post them. I doubt we will be able to post till we get back home on Sunday, because I don't think there will be a computer. But, I will post them as soon as I can when I get home.

I hope all of the others made it home safely, as for me I'm home safe and sound fond memories rolling over in my head but in shell shock.

My house and family somehow survived with the central nerve system gone for one night. Thank God it was only one night cause my house sustained a considerable amout of damage! No the dishes were not washed, no the trash was not taken out, no the three little piggies were not picked up after BUT the kids were fed (Cereal and milk), 2 of them got a bath, and all in one piece. So, what can I say, the fort was held down!

On the ride home I was'nt thinking of the condition of things at the home front as I was still rehashing all the fun and love I experienced with a bunch of great women I just spent the night with that I can call friends now. TY all for the wonderful time we had togather. High quality time getting to know each other on a personnal level and being able to express yourself W/O worry. It's hard to pull the right words out right now, maybe I'll have more to say when I post pics tomorrow.

I completely missed this thread prior to the trip! I don't usually get on this particular forum, but I will from now on. I, too, loved meeting everyone. You are all so beautiful and so special to me. It struck me that we are a group of women from different walks of life and different backgrounds, but how alike we all are underneath it all! And when was the last time I was singing karaoke at midnight? Until the next time. . .

Precious, precious sisters, what a wonderful time of sharing and encouragement, of laughter and tears. I'm at a loss for words right now. Somehow I just want to keep the warm, cozy blanket of your friendships wrapped around me and not share it just yet. I love you each very, very much!

      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.
