Surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:00. They said I have to be there at 6:00 a.m., which seems just silly to me.

probably to get your happy meds on :cursing:

Seriously! Wait, or pecan...

I was offered the option of COBRA in Tennessee; I would think/hope it would be offered everywhere! I was going to say unless the company has to help pay for it but as much as I paid for mine, I wouldn't think my old company was helping!!! :thumbup:

But Tap, won't you miss shoveling snow? :cursing:

Yanno, Missy, I've never known anyone that loved pumpkin stuff and now I know 2 (you and a gf at work).

Diva - I thought about you this morning. The folks on the radio this morning were talking about how employees at some company were being asked to take a one-week vacation without pay. :tongue:

Yep that's us here CA State Workers. We have to take 2 furlough days per month (most of us will do First and Third Friday of the month, but since I work at Cal-Fire we might eventually get to choose our two days as some of us already are allowed this).

That is a 10% pay cut for all of us. However the Governator gave us a choice... Furloughs or watch all your friends get fed to Unemployment line (20% by Seniority). That wouldn't have been me, but I'd rather take a little piece of the pie than see some of us without jobs all together.

It just sucks all the way around.

Donna and Susan, best wishes with your medical issues!

Thanks everyone - today, I feel tight but don't know if that's all the stress from having to wait until tomorrow to find out what, if anything, is wrong with me. I slept propped up with 2 pillows last night so I didn't have any reflux issues but now I've got a crick in my neck.

Diva - good for you for being willing to take a cut so that noone has to be cut.

PJTP...I'm sitting at my desk and wishing I was at home!

Just came in from a 3-hour training class...snooze! I nearly fell asleep several times, which isn't good, because I was the ONLY person in the class! :tongue:

Somehow I made it through, and I think I'll even retain most of what I heard - as long as I practice...

Susan - I wish you a speedy and pain-free recovery for both feet!

Donna - I hope you are not over-filled, but please get yourself checked...I'd hate to go through that at night.

TMI Alert: After having NO pb'ing so far, I've pb'ed twice in the last two days on food that gave me NO trouble prior to my first fill. I guess what I've read is true - it does take a while for the fill to 'catch up' to ya - I had my fill on January 6th, then felt a little restriction for about a week. After that, it seemed as if nothing had been done, but the past two days, I've been feeling tight. Guess I'll have to take it easy and eat even slower, chew even more and see what happens. I'm all for losing weight faster, but I can definately do WITHOUT the pb'ing - that was nasty!:cursing:

Cruise by PJTP: You know it is going to be a bad meeting when: the person convening the meeting can't remember what the meeting is about; when the people in attendance don't have any of the background material; and when management directs someone (moi) to attend the meeting with no history or knowledge of the topic because no one knows what the committee is doing and they want me to 'take control of it'. Yes indeed, a good meeting.........:cursing:

So I was asking the kiddies what they wanted to get their Daddy for his birthday and DD promptly answers me with "Deodorant and a nipple ring".

Was cruising by and saw your post. DH is CalFire as well. What part of the dept. are you in? He's at a station so they can't actually TAKE the days off, so they get the 10% pay cut and work the 2 days for free. Supposedly they'll get to take the days off later, after this is all over but ALL of them will have a whole 2yrs to each take an extra 30-some days off. Yeah, ain't gonna happen! AND I don't hear the legislators taking a hit like we are. Just the peons that make the state function are getting it in the @ss! Can you tell I'm ticked! LOL!

Hope you're ok thru this. It's going to be tough for us. Scary.

Best wishes thru this nightmare!

And I hurt my elbow yesterday punching a pillow.

BG, we don't talk about our personal "bedroom" behavior in this forum. Thanks.

To shave your toes?

Tap, what are you implying? Bwahahaha

So....you are the right hand that doesn't know what the left hand is doing? That's the management model of my hospital.

So I was asking the kiddies what they wanted to get their Daddy for his birthday and DD promptly answers me with "Deodorant and a nipple ring".

Those are some oddly specific answers!

      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.
