Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

The weather is starting to change here. It' supposed to start raining tonight and the cold air will be moving in with it. I'm ready for it. It keeps me inside and I need to be here. I still have some work that needs to be done on my Violets Christmas present. Need to get my little fingers moving with the needle. I probably have about another 20 hours of work left on it to do. I'll take a pic of it and after my Secret Violet receives it, I will post it for all of you to see.

Watching Emeril right now. Making me hungry.

It's not a proud day for me!! I have never, ever been so depressed over an election in my adult life. You can mark my words and take note....we will ALL be worse off 4 years from now as we are today. I know it as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow.

I'm gonna 'check out' for awhile and let you all Celebrate ....... I just can't take it.

That's what I was wondering Haydee, looks like we could change the color.

We watched McCain speak to congratulate Obama, and all the crowd was yelling out stuff and Boo'ing everytime he said Obama or Biden. Was real surprising. I wanted McCain to win too, but this isn't like a football game..

Anyway, time to start hoarding money!!

My friend brought in some mexican Breakfast this morning. We went to a restaurant last night and she was talking about this mexican b'fast, so she said she'd make it for today. It was good, I've actually made something similar before but mine was too cream cheesy and too rich to eat. It's just sausage and cream cheese in a crust. Was so good, one tiny square was great.. little rough going down but I managed. And because I managed, I had to get another piece?! Now I'm PBing.. wee.

I by no means was "celebrating" out of respect for my republican sisters. I think we should go back to not talking about it at all.

All I was trying to say was that the past few elections have been riddled with problems and one side has felt that the elections had not been completely fair. The election process went smoothly this time and there were no major problems reported.

Can we move past this? In every election there is going to be a winner and a loser. If McCain had won I would have been dissapointed but I would not have been a sore loser.

I have enough of the moaning and groaning about doom and gloom at home. I come here to escape all that. I love you guys and this has always been a refuge for me.

Back from rehearsal. Two hours of playing flute is a little much for this old lady, but I sure do love it. We are playing for the senior citizens again on the 19th.

Ethan kind of demolished the house while I was gone. Poppa is not the world's best babysitter. He kinda gets lost in his own world when he's watching the tv or reading.

Now I can take a breather for the rest of the day and Ethan is now laying on the couch so if he takes a nap, so do I!

Catch you all later.

This is going to be probably one of the most silly questions BUT:

I want to make Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving. I want that really yummy kind with the french onions on the top...really GOOD. How do I make it?

And YES, I am trying to change the subject. :biggrin:

      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.
