Happy Birthday Kathy (The best me)



Recommended Posts

I hope you have a good birthday!!! Don't eat too much cake! LOL... I was thinking about my birthday a few months ago. It was during a period after my car accident and all I wanted was comfort foods so I decided to make my cake about 3 days early... Ends up I pb'ed on the first piece and ended up not touching the rest of it at all. Tossed it a week after my birthday and it was still almost whole. LOL... Anyway I hope you have a special one with lots of good memories. Teresa

Hey rena! PB stands for Productive Burp or Belch. It's when whatever you swallow won't go down past the band and you burp it back up because it's so painful, or you just do becasue your stomach forces it. It's usually accompanied by sliming, which is lots of saliva being produced by your body to help it go down. Enough that you can't swallow the spit because the food its stuck. Yuck. Avoid this by taking small bites and chewing really well. PB=Bad. It's best to do liquids for at least 24hrs after a PB.

I had a full birthday weekend! Friday night was girls night out with my sister and two neighbors/friends at a nice restaurant. We had a lovely dinner and a fun time...lots of girl talk and laughing!

Saturday night my family came over to our house for a cookout dinner. I did no cooking or cleaning, wait, I cleaned some. but we had a nice time.

Sunday was Mother's Day so church and lunch at Bob Evans with my Mother-in-law and two of hubbie's brothers. Then the park with the kids Sunday evening.

Monday (birthday!) my dad came over and watched my 2yo son while me and my sister spent the morning at the spa...mani/pedi/facial....AHHHH! It was lovely. Then last night I went to my final Bible Study meeting in a gender studies series I have been working though on Femininity (great study...worth going on my birthday!)

So it's been an all weekend celebration! Being 40 is great. Wierd, but great. I'm no longer pushing middle aged, I'm here! But it's a good thing.

Thanks everyone for the happy thoughts and wishes. I love my LBT family!

Kathy, I need to Celebrate with you, it sounds like you had a great time. It's fun when you can make your birthday celebration last for several days. Turning 40, you deserve to make it last as long as possible:banana

      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.
