Shrinkin' Vi's Bandiversary Blow-Out Planning Post #1: Who Wants to Come?



Recommended Posts

May is fine w/me... but first we need a final tally of who's in so I can then check on avail cabins... the sooner the better, of course... so what say we close out on Friday... ok lurkers... you have 'til then to pop out & say "yeah" or "nay" to the trip so we can then lock in location & date! After that, it's all gravy! Oops! I mean... uh... slushie crystal light!

Kat, I think you have the list of all of us who wanted to be on the "list"... who haven't we heard from who you'd've thunk we'd've heard from by now?? We could pm them or something in case they missed this thread...

(We can also get a cabin that sleeps a few more than our actual number "just in case", too.)

Oh yeah, sleeping arrangements don't matter much to me. My Mom uses a C-PAP, and Rick did prior to his heart surgery---so they don't phase me, look wise, or noise wise....when I was in ALbq. with my folks the night they drove me nutso, my Mom had a dream and tried to chew the hose to hers in 2! I laughed my butt off!

Rick says since losing the weight I don't snore anymore, BUT---he snores so loud I have no idea how he would know, and I don't sleep with anyone else, so have no real idea!!! I have to sleep on an incline, but have an inflatable wedge I take traveling.....or I can find me a recliner, and sleep there!

I just thought of another possiblity---with the date change, it may change things with the due date of Denise's DD-----if the baby is already here, she may be able to join us for a weekend! I understand not chancing missing it(birth of her grandchild), but we could always fit her in...if her grandchild has already been born by then....and that would make it even better!!!

OK, just posting rambling thoughts now. DH and I are going to dinner, celebrating in our own way---the lack of chemo!

Got horrible news today though, a child I provided daycare for for 10 years, consider him one of mine, his family is wonderful. He was killed in a stock car racing accident in Abilene this weekend. I cannot believe Ryan is gone, he was 25. Breaks my heart. His Dad beat all the emergency crews to his car, and kept trying to pull him out, now Dad is burned too. SO incredibly sad. Prayers for the Bard family please....

Michelle if my friggin computer would cooperate, or if I had a clue what was wrong I would send you the list right now, but it is not letting me copy and paste it, I have suddenly lost tool bars for going back and forth---it will not ctrl c or ctrl v---nothing. And I have to go for dinner, this is making me mad as all get out! I will work on it when I get back this evening, if I have to type it out all over I will get it to you.

Hey gals

Just getting in from work. That weekend in May is perfect for me too, I'm flexible and don't really care what anyone says right now. I told stepmom about it and I needed a weekend off in April and I thought she was going to have a stroke. Tough shit, I cover for everyone... figure it out... I'm giving 6 months notice

As for the place, I was looking today, I still say indoor pool and/or a hot tub.

oh wait, if i keep going like i did today, I'll take the entire hot tub, and it will overflow.

either way, count me in on whatever you decide

Haydee did he give you anything else for your tongue or tell you that you could use anything for it----(yeah, I really am gonna hook up the new keyboard!!!)

I ask because I use a little packet of stuff from the pharmacy it is over the counter it is called Amacin---you mix it in a couple of ounces of warm/hot Water, swish and spit---it has a numbing agent in it, also a peroxide base I am guessing, it is antisceptic as well. It helped more than anything with all the stitches I had in my mouth at the time---and we have used it since for many mouth issues. As I say we buy it at Walgreens, like 7 bucks for a package of 20 or more packets.

Hope you aren't hurting too bad.

Mothers Day-----doggone it! I will work around whenever! Most of you have work schedules etc. I do not. If this place has booking issues at the time we decide, we can find another---the only thing that really matters to me is that we can all get together.

And like I said earlier, with us going later, maybe Denise will be available!!

      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.
