Terry, Just know that I am thinking of you. This is such a special time that you will be going thru. It's all about your Mom and making the right decision for her. Making sure that she is laid to rest and done just right.

Burying my Mom was one of the most unreal times I ever went thru. It was one of the most important things I ever did in my life. I just kept in mind that is was for my Mom and that made it so much easier.

Time will ease your pain but your heart will break forever. Not a day will go by that you won't think of her and miss her like crazy. But remember that she is with people that love her and that God will keep her safe.

Hugs to you Terry and also to your Family.

Terri~

Your post made Susanne and I both cry. Thank you for keeping us posted. I barely remember the first few days after my moms passing...purposeful numbing you could say. Remember this: THERE ARE NO RULES! You do whatever the hell you want and need to do for you now. God, I wish I could have a drink w/ you and give you a big hug!

Thanks so much for everyone's compliments on the hair do! I am having fun w/ it and yes, Susanne loves it! She saw a pix of me w/ long hair today and it cemented how much she likes my hair now! It is fun and sexy, huh TracyKS!

Well, my lunch is packed and now I need to do some reading and pay a Water bill online. I've had 4 big sips of wine so I should sleep soundly, lol! I'll try to post in the am...Sleep tight violet sisters!

I am sending out a thing for walk for autism, since I don't know really how to just send out a picture out I am sending the whole thing out, that is my niece!! She is really cute isn't she??? One of these days I will become computer friendly and know how to just copy that pic and send it. Maybe if there is wifi at the house in Alabama someone can help me???? I mean after all if I am bringing a big truck full of beer it is the least you can do!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to Terry and family!!!!!

Morning gals

well, i'm up and showered and typing away drinking my coffee at 4:45 am! The gym opens up at 5:30 so i'll leave in 30 minutes do my weights and head to work. Tomorrow is the first day of school so i'll probably do weights tomorrow night. I think this is what I needed - I will win... personally.

Jenn, So proud of you. But be careful about over doing it. Your body will not like it. But keep up the momentum. I had decided that I was not going to do the long walk last night. I had really over did it the 2 nights before. So I take off last night with Doggie pulling me along. I went pass Cindy's house and she was outside with her son Daniel. He is 21 years old and is mildly retarded. So I could hear that they were having one of their I'm the Mom and your the Son and what I say goes, fights. So I hollered over and asked Daniel to go with me. He grabbed his bike and off we went. I wanted to get him away from his Mom so he could cool down. He has some serious anger issues. Yup, I over did it again. But it was worth it.

Last night I made Shrimp for dinner and followed a new recipe. Bacon wrapped shrimp. OMG, it was delicious. I ended up eating about 6 pieces. So I guess I really needed that walk.

Everyone have a great day and don't forget it's CTCD.

Tracy, either today or tomorrow I'm going to call and get info on the Atchison Huanted Trolley ride and House tours. Have you ever gone to any of them? If you have, do you have any advice? Thanks.

Tracy

NOPE... I don't want her showing up more often... trust me there is a lot of bad emotions that come with it I'm honestly a huge basket case and my boss is not in this am so i don't have any distractions.

1 day of stress from her and my hair is falling out in clumps again...going to get some sublingual zinc tonight

Well - i'll check back in shortly... can't stay on too long

Mmmmmmmmmmmm shrimp and bacon.... better yet... soak in olive oil and pepper, wrap in bacon and cook on the grill (on a cookie sheet or something)

scallops are really good that way too

Good Morning!

First day of school, I am at my desk and all the babies are coming in. I think I am gonna be a lot less grumpy w/ this group than last year w/ Manuel. I have all 6th graders and they are a bit sweeter cause they are new to the middle school level.

Have a great day!

      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.
