Who me? Nothing. Not a thing.

So, what is the booze for this weekend? Or, rather, what lush slush will you be brewing up?? I'm starting on my pre-op so please choose something clear :confused:.

I'll be joining you lushes tonight. My daughter and her girlfriends have booked a room at the 5 star casino/hotel in town and we're all going to leave the husbands/boyfriends at home, party our asses off, get seriously trashed, fall into a heap in the hotel at some ungodly hour, then crawl home to our other halves at some stage tomorrow, probably feeling very seedy and sorry for ourselves :confused: I love this plan! :drool:

Kristen, what are the requirements aor the "Iron Bear"?

They have to bench press their weight plus 20lbs, squat their weight plus 50lbs and complete an agility course in a given time. They have to do 10 of each for the bench and squats and he did 9.5 and just couldn't get the full press!

He has worked so hard this last spring to get ready for this. He is not necessarily a natural athlete, but he will outwork the rest of the team 3 to 1. The coaches told him that they were impressed by his improvement from last summer and just from the work he has done in spring and summer lifting.

He is my "Iron Bear"!

I was wondering when we would get on the topic of the drink of choice! We should all have Clear Liquids in honor of your upcoming surgery!

I could handle the squats, but no way would I even get 1 rep on the "weight + 20" bench. Love the new 'do.

Thanks! I don't think I could do the squats! He had me give him a hair cut this afternoon. I asked him on the way into town, why the cut? So I could lose some more weight mom!!! He lost 1lb of hair! Goofy kid!

I bought my daughter some exquisite shoes (she's going to take a photo with her phone and send it to me soon - I'll post it when she does); and bought myself a hot new dress! This is the first dress I've worn (except for my daughter's wedding 7 years ago) in over 20 years!! Excuse the messy hair and unflattering face pic but I love the dress...

[ATTACH]17456[/ATTACH]

Fanny I love that dress. You look great!

Ok I have to share with you all the funniest pic. I have a Meyer lemon tree and these mushrooms grew in the pot:

:blink::lol::redface:

That made me snort Diet Dr. Pepper all over my computer!!! I love the mushrooms, I would say to hell with the tree, and grow the shrooms!!! They are hilarious!!!!

Can't you just see marketing them as divorce plant gifts or something!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!

:thumbup::lol:

..............speechless.

Yeah right!:confused:

My humble mushrooms made you speechless..... I don't understand all the fuss!

:drool:

Love the new 'do.

What he said, Krtork. I love your new avi too! I like the hair!

Hi Krtork! I am sorry that you are having trouble sleeping. Unfortunately, I have to get up this early to be awake by the time I get to work. Yuck!

BBK-How are you? Are you up early, or up late?

Drive by from a lurker: I could handle the squats w/little problem. I can manage the bench for about 6-7 reps. For HS kids to do 10 reps at that, I'M IMPRESSED! No way I could do that back then. But, then again, my school/coach didn't endorse weight lifting.:confused:

      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.
