Such sorrow at a young age!!



Recommended Posts

John and I video taped Erin's wedding and when we were looking at the footage not too long ago we ran across a scene that made me just burst into tears. IT was of Jacob and Amber dancing to "One more day". I don't know the singer but the song was precious. So John and I decided to take that section of the wedding reception and make a separate DVD for Amber's family and Jacob. They are dancing and kissing and at the end Jacob picks her up and twirls her around. SO precious.

I got a really sweet email from Jacob and Amber's parents saying it helped them with the healing. I was again brought to tears.

They are all healing and it is getting easier.

Thank you all for asking,.

Aww I got goosebumps when I was reading your post of where you found that footage. I had something similiar happen. My father passed away when I was 19 during the summertime. Holidays were extremely special in our family because my father was all about getting in the holiday spirit. He would bake and bake and make Cookies, candies - the whole 9 yards at Christmas that he would pack up a special tin for each one of us kids. Maybe a year after he died when I was moving I came across one of those tins - I opened it up and there it was - still in physical pefectness - an entire tin of my father's goodies. Its like the only thing I have from him besides pictures. I keep that tin in my nightstand and occasionally I take a look at it and take a moment to be with my father again :( It feels like they're speaking to us even after they've gone - just a gentle reminder that they are still with us. That's something very special.

Losing someone is never easy, but the sorrow of losing someone so tragically at such a young age is almost unbearable. Penni, you, your family, and the loved ones of the two young women who were lost are all in my thoughts and prayers. So so sorry for your loss.

      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.
