Happy Vday, everyone!



Recommended Posts

Hi All!!

I wanted to wish everyone on my favorite message board a very happy Vday!!! What are you all doing for fun today?

Since I'm single, I've been opting to keep it positive and not get all sad about not having a romantic someone in my life. Instead, I'm pampering myself and loving my family and friends. It's a great holiday to appreciate everyone in your life!!

I started the week by helping my mom out when she got home from her knee surgery (she had her second total replacement done). I made a trip to Walgreens and got my parents an animated singing frog and candy, and picked up a few things to mail my niece at her dorm.

Last night I went to the nail spa and got a pedicure, manicure and brow wax (ouch). I even got bright red polish with hearts painted on my toes. Then I picked up a nice steak and ate a reasonable portion (plenty saved for another meal - yum), and got myself a nice bouquet. I'll confess the sweets have gotten in a bit, but I'll let that go tomorrow.

This morning, I found a little Godiva box on my desk (someone at the office leaves chocolate for all the women every Vday), so I shared it with a friend and just had ONE piece.

.. and of course, I'm wearing red today.

Anyway, hope you're all happy, healthy and loving yourself and the people in your life!! Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every morning!

Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

We don't really do anything special. It's kind of a silly "holiday" if you ask me.

I did run out and buy my bf a 12 pack of his favorite beer and a card. That's his dozen roses :cursing:

I also have some boneless ribs in the crock pot for dinner.

Well, I'm all about excuses to be silly, so I dive in head first! Must be the former Kindergarten teacher in me. :-)

Holy cow, Candle - you've almost lost NINETY pounds!!! Right on, woman!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
