Me too--slept late, felt wonderful.. Got up, and caught up to Tracy, got all my housework done-----made me some Jello, hung out on the computer awhile, been half reading/half watching TV.....just relaxing. Just noticed, it began snowing---aarrgghh!!! Go away Winter!

Rick should be home in a few minutes---then not sure if we are gonna hang out for the day or catch a movie and a burger. Speaking of movies, hope Pamela's snuggly movie date was a good one. I'd ask what they saw, but wouldn't want to embarass her if she couldn't remember!!! LOL

Michelle---80 pounds-------how amazing is that?! Next time you are in the store, go try to see if you can begin to life a 50 pound bag of dog food! Imagine you carried that and another 30 pounds around every single day, every single step! No wonder you are not being recognized!!! Great job!

Tracy---I bet Macy is ready to see Mommy too!! Kinsey spent the weekend with her Dad---Manda called this morning, and is also ready for her girls back---Lindzie is with her Mom. Is one of the rare weekends both girls are gone together. Ryan leaves today for WY for a week---Manda is a bit worried about it---with Lindzie's asthma having been acting up. But they have dealt with it before.

Abbey wanted us to come help them build a fence---her DH is NOT a handyman! But with the weather, not looking like it is gonna happen this weekend. Their neighbor moved out, and the Daughter took the house over, and has a big boat, they have to use Abbey & Rhetts drive way to get it out, but it bottoms out and is chipping up the drive way----so he refuses to talk to them about it, instead is building a fence! I think he lives his life that way---instead of working things out, he builds people out-------not too sure about the boy!

So it is awful quiet in here---must be a busy weekend for everyone!!

Check in girlies, let us know all is well!!

Hugs~

Michelle and Laura, Congrats to both of you. Truly inspiring.

Weather was nice enough to go to the park today and walk. It felt great. Took doggy with us and he had a ball. Came home and sat outside with the kitties.

Tomorrow it's back to losing weight again These last 3 days have been atrociuos (SP?). Out of control. So this is a warning to all. Water patrol is back on duty.

Have a great evening.

Michelle -- woohoo! 80 is fantastic!

Suzie -- I am with you - back to basics -- Water, water, water.

Adorable -- that is great -- look at how many homes are in the process of being built around you -- are they all the same builder?

Hope all had a great weekend!

      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.
