Greg,

It's amazing how the Lord works, your post is so inspirational to me, I have it in my favorites so I can share with other friends. To God Be The Glory. I am also sad to hear about your cousin, when you are battling Cancer (that ugly demon) it can be so hard to keep fighting, I know that the Lord was their to receive him home.

Kathy,

I am also sorry to hear about Nana, I had a Nana once, will never have another one again.

I feel privalaged to hear all of your stories, thoughts and prayers, I wish all of you the best. I just thought of a "Madeline" ( the childrens book) prayer...."We love our bread and we love our butter but most of all we love each other"

I have returned from our trip to Virginia and my Nana's funeral. It was a lovely service, and she looked beautiful there...she would have been happy to see her hair set so pretty. It hadn't looked that good in years, Nana being pretty well bed-ridden. And so the family were all together and it went nicely and Nana would have been very happy to be among us (and not just in spirit) as we laughed and told stories and as her great grandchildren played together.

I often wondered what the day would be like when "it" happened and we had to take the trip, I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to share about my Nana with cyber-friends! It has been very healing for me, and I appreciate all of your prayers and good wishes for me. Thank You.

Greg, how was your cousin's service on Saturday? I hope it was uplifting and brought peace and closure to your family, as I'm sure your cousin would have wanted that. God Bless You.

Kathy, thank you for letting us be a part of your family. I'm glad the day went well for you and I am sure your Nana would have been very pleased.

Kathy,

I just got in from the church services and the luncheon. Cousin Dick would have loved the services. Held at a very old Catholic Church and no mater what religion you are this Church is gorgious. Services were very touching and right on the mark. This life is only a journey to the beginning aof a greater existance.

I'm glad your nana's services were good ofr you too. Thats what funerals are about. For the living. Chance to reflect on ones own life.

A thought for you Kathy, When your Nana was born she came into this world crying as her family around her was smiling. When she left this world the family was crying but Nana was smiling as she returned the the care of the Lord.

God bless

Thanks everyone, and you, Greg. I'm happy the service was beautiful. These customs and ceremonies are so important for the living. Your cousin and my Nana are not looking back, are they?

The preacher at my Nana's funeral said something that made us all crack up at the service, he said, "She might have been a Baptist, but she's dancing now!"

The grief is lifting, I hope it is for you as well.

      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.
