I had a friend in Virginia who was amazing. She never took money or other gifts for giving a reading and only read for people she was drawn to. After I moved to Florida, I was having some problems and she told me to go buy a new deck of cards. She told me to unwrap them and carry them around with me, in my pocket perhaps. Then after a day of carrying them around, I wrapped them in paper no one else had touched and mailed them to her.

She got them, immeidately called me and asked, "What in the world is going on with you, girl?" She said that the deck of cards actually vibrated in her hands when she unwrapped them. She went through the cards with me on the phone. She told me several very specific things that were actually happening in my life and I told her she was right about each of them. She was very helpful, assured me that things were going to work out well for me in specific ways she mentioned, and by the end of our conversation, I felt like a new person. It was awesome.

It really is the most awesome feeling when someone can reassure you in that way. Sometimes life can make you think you're crazy, but a little insight from an outsider brings it back into perspective.

John Edward's book is really good. I am not sure if he has more than one. If he does, it's his first book that I read. It was his life story, all about how he discovered his gift, how he prays before each reading, etc. I would really recommend this book. I have no idea what the name of the book is though.

I am glad his tv show is back on. I always watch it on Saturdays while I am struggling through my cardio at the gym. It sure makes the time go by faster! It's on as reruns in the day time, and the new ones are on Sat. night.

I have seen the new show and like the way he follows up with the families he does readings for in that show, but as far as format, I really liked the old show better. I catch it every now and then, but always forget to look for it. I think it comes on at the same time as something my husband likes to watch.

      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.
