What Are You Looking Forward To In Spring?



Recommended Posts

Thank goodness spring is coming, I really need the sunny spring weather. Did you know that spending 30 minutes or more outside in warm, sunny spring weather links to a higher mood and better memory? It's also easy to find fresh produce during spring. It's also time for some road trip don't you think? How about you, what are you looking forward to in spring?

I have this perfect Friday in mind when they finally get 'round to opening our cafés. I'm going to leave work early, meet up with some friends at a great little place with outdoor seating. Rosé, a cheese board, having a laugh, watching the city flow by.

It'll turn into late afternoon and someone will invite us for a dinner party. We'll walk there, meet new people. Later, we'll hit a cheesy dive bar and play some pool and go home while it's getting light out.

Sounds like perfect Friday all right. Can I be one of your friends?!?!?!? But I may stay out a little longer....

Patio season. Hilarious @ms.sss. I laugh because I know for you that means drinking cocktails outside with friends. Love your style. 😁

It’s autumn here & I have 6 months to wait until it’s spring again. Waah! It’s my favourite season.

I am looking fwd to being able to walk around my neighborhood, walking the dogs. I haven't been able to do that in 7 years. I had to use a cane, or a wheelchair to get around. Now that I am able to walk without it, I want to just walk anywhere I can!

Looking forward to not dreading warm weather because I want to hide my body in tunics and coats, etc.

      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.
