Oh yeah, I forget it gets cold in other places. I don't think I cracked a coat this year...in fact I barely wore sleeves at all even in the winter.

I really liked you a lot until just now when I read your post!!! We had SO much snow here!

Since it is warm at your house, we will all see you there next February. And we can wear our new bathing suits!

Oh not quite...But about mid-April we do go swimming.

Every year here we have a big festival here called "mudbug madness" where basically people sell really cajun food, handmade soaps etc. We have bands, and beer, and what not.

This year I had about a 1/4 lb of crawfish, which is actually nothing. Well the point is it was 93 degrees yesterday. I put on spf 80 before going outside, but it was fun.

I am a little far away... but i would come to you, not to escape the cold but to escape the heat. Today we are having a cool day and it is only 100 degrees...what makes it cool is that the humidity level is only at 30%... so count me in... I will join a party in a cooler climate!

Then again if you girls want hot... I am sure Amoud (another Victorous Valentine and my best friend here in Qatar) and I will welcome u all.

Bet all that walking was good for ya. It sounds like a blast. I love cajun food and music. <Zydeco girl here< And you're so right, 1/4 pound of crawfish is nothing - it's under 100 calories and about 15g of Protein. I'd be eating all those I could before I got too full.

Our weather here in Arizona has been freaky lately - last Tuesday we were at 107 and by Thursday it had dropped to mid 70s for the highs. It stayed nice all weekend but I think it's starting to creep back up again. It's supposed to be 92 tomorrow and 99 by Wednesday. Ick, heat! Sometimes I don't know why I still live here. But family, friends, jobs, no real motivation to move except the heat.

Ditto to all the sentiments above. It is the first place I come to read during my lunch hour!

Feb in Australia is simply wonderful. We could all congregate at my place!:)

      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.
