I met Paula



Recommended Posts

So she's in my neck of the woods visiting her In-laws and we were able to meet at the Chick-Fil-A so the kiddos could play while we talked about all of you all! hehe, we had such a nice time bragging about how LBT is such a great place and about how wonderful ALL of you are.

It was a great two hours or so, and let me just say that Paula is just as nice and pretty and REAL as you think she is by knowing her online. And our daughters were fast friends from the second they met, and had a ball playing together in the playroom. Paula has a pic of the girls and one of my little man holding a balloon...she'll post them when she gets home, I'm sure.

So here are me and Paula in the playroom. My daughter took the pic so I had to crop out the glare in the background. Wow! I met a real live bandster!! What fun!

Well bandit you are more than welcome to come to Florida and visit w/ me and my brats (oh sorry, I mean kids). So hop on a plane and I'll be waiting for you. You know we are forming some strong bonds here and I truly hope that we all get the opportunity to meet each other in person, because in all honestly since i got my band I spend more time w/ all of you that I do w/ my best friend. So I am truly blessed to have each and every one of you. And I have to brag once more, I MET PENNI THIS WEEKEND, NA, NA, NANNA NA, HE, HEEEEEEEE... So I am truly happy that some of my other band sisters also got to meet, how wonderful it is.

*sigh* WE ARE H O M E!!! After 16 long driving hours... phew!

Had a great time though. But the high-light was meeting Kathy! What is neat is that I felt like I had known her forever. She is so genuine! And what a pretty woman she is!!!

I had to reschedule our lunch date twice (in-laws had other things planned), and Kathy was so understanding and flexable! Thanks again - honestly! I really appreciated you being so patient with me.

Im trying to get those pictures on here, but my comp isnt reading the little card from my dig camera. As soon as I get it woking, Ill post the pics I got of us!

      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.
