My doc has a support meeting this Thursday (9/25) at Monmouth Medical Center Long Branch, it goes from 7-9. If you need the number let me know, they prefer you register. They have the meetings the 4 Thursday of every month. Jackie :rolleyes2:

Thanks again.

OMG, Kat, what an ordeal! Please take care of yourself and don't over do anything!

Betty, glad you're healing...finally!

Sherry 4 freakin crockpots, please tell me what you cook to require not only4, but another crockpot! The only time I pull out my extras was/if I'm fixing for a huge group, then I'll do chili in one, Soup in another and maybe roast beef, but 5, I give up.

Thought I was having oysters tonight, but it's starting to look a little doubtful.

Later girlies!

hahaha Yeap I use them all. I got different sizes because different recipes call for different sizes. I've used 4 at the same time too during parties, one for pulled pork, one for BBQ pulled chicken, another for baked Beans and the last one for meatballs :redface: One of the crockpots is a 1 quart size that is the one for hobo beans or sweet and sour meatballs. Sometimes I make Soup in it with the leftovers from a chicken dinner yadda yadda. So I have a 7quart, 6 quart, 5 quart and 1 quart. I'd like a 3 or 4 quart or better yet 3.5 if they have it :) My habit of collecting things I guess hee hee

Hi Y'all!

It sounds like everyone is on the way to recovery! Yeah!

today is my B-day and it has been so special already. I got to work this morning and my desk was all decorated up with balloons and ribbons. then they all took me out to lunch and we had a great time. When I got back they had a big sheet cake with white icing on it with Pink flowers and printing. I got some really neat presents too. Then when I got home my driveway was all decorated with balloons and signs. I came in the house and DH had left a card and presents. He got me a gift certificate to get my hair done and my nails with a pedicure. I can get my hair colored, cut, and styled. How sweet. Then, he got me a new Harley Jacket with fringe that actually fits me now! I was so excited. Then he got me a new pair of Harley boots! He isn't even home yet either! Talk about a surprise! Must be them perky girls getting him all fired up! lol

Well, going to go see what else he might have cooked up that I haven't seen yet! lol

Later!

Hey girls, I'm back home bracing for a Nor'easter, our pier was almost covered tonight. The wind was so brutal at the beach, the siding crew couldn't work, so they'll be back on Sunday, which means we'll be going back down Sunday.

Kat, hope you're recovering.

Later all.

Darcy, I thought you were living at the cabin all the time now, I'm so confused, but then again, I usually am, LOL.

What crazy weather, our pier flooded, now the wind is howling harder than all day has been, and it's thundering and lightnining to boot.

I've been lazy again today, maybe I need some Protein, anyone aware of any "focus" Protein, cause I sure do need some.

Stay dry TTYL.

      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.
