❀MARCH 2019 CHALLENGE❀



Recommended Posts

Lots of happy childhood memories running rampant outdoors with my two little sisters and our dog. East Texas in the 80s!

Also, my favorite perfume is Chloe Nomade. So expensive I can only buy the tiny bottles but I love it so it's worth it. It's the perfume that finally got me to switch from my old stand by, Chanel Allure. I feel like a new woman when I wear it :)

March 4th:
Happy Childhood memories are abundant but one i can visibly share is playing in a blizzard with my siblings (photographers). I am swinging from our ancient Magnolia tree. My ridiculousness was indulged at every turn (within reason) and I am supremely grateful.

That is a smile of pure, unadulterated joy!

Challenge B side question: What is your favorite perfume? This is my favorite: Orchid from Zara. Inexpensive but super fragrant. Smells like hibiscus tea and summer in the West Indies.
I discovered this after WLS because i bever could shop at Zara, they had nothing in my size. But my niece ,24, asked me to shop with her there and try on clothes etc. I still didnt like much although I could fit it all now but this was the true treasure found.
What's your favorite?

4. Happy Childhood Memory. We lived on a farm when I was a kid, and my parents threw my brother and I a birthday party (our birthdays are three days apart). I remember it was a gorgeous sunny September day and dad had put bales of hay out for us to sit on. I felt like the sun was shining just for me and I can smell the hat even today.

Favourite childhood memory... gosh, I don't think I have one. I might have to come back to that one later when one stands out to me. I had a hard but also somehow magical childhood.

Favourite perfume - weirdly, my sense of smell seemed to change after my first bariatric surgery. Smells I previously liked just didn't gel with me any more, especially the more musky deep scents. I'd say one of my favourite all time perfumes though is the now discontinued Donna Karan's Chaos.

DAY 4:

  • Happiest Childhood Memory- I'm a military brat. My fondest memories are traveling by car on summer vacation all over the country with my sisters and brother. Seeing nothing but corn fields, traveling through Kansas. Seeing the Mojave desert in California. No worries just a carefree kid.
  • Favorite perfume: I think it's called Bon Chic by Max Azria. It's a light not to heavy perfume.

Thanks for sharing all those memories! I could visualize them all very clearly (with a pinch of borrowed nostalgia)

      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.
