Good morning, Violets...

Just checking in. Ethan is with me for the day and I'm giving him as much loving as possible. Things are a bit better at home according to Joe. They are having a family meeting tomorrow to discuss the issues. Not much more info than that. I told Joe that he HAD to call 911 the next time this happens.

Off to love up Ethan. Everyone have a good day.

DS Joe just called. DIL's mom is taking her to the hospital. Thank goodness. Hopefully they can get her on some meds to get her back on track. Up to this point she has refused meds. Only problem is, it's going to take up to 6 weeks for the meds to be effective. It's going to be along haul for awhile, I'm afraid.

OH my goodness! I missed so much while I was gone...

Judy and Kat - prayers to you and your families. Words cannot express how sorry I feel for everything that you guys are going through right now.

Michelle - Thank you for the reminder on the blessings. I have tried to end my day with a thanks to God for all the blessings he has given me but on more days than not I go to bed grumbling about how much I have to do the next day or how much I didn't accomplish today. I need to do alot better with that...

I'm gonna play catch up on the posts, only skimmed the last few pages...

I have had a permanent sickness for months now, it flares up at night, and fades throughout the day but never goes away..so I either can't taste, or barely taste things (which may be why I like really flavorful stuff right now). My eyes and nose always itch and in the middle of the night I wake up having sneezing fits, and in the morning I go through LITERALLY 20 tissues or more of snot. Doc told me to try Claritin, Benadryl, and Zyrtec--none did anything. She has me on a 5-day Zpak right now, I am on day 5 with no change.. oh well. I am just hoping when I have Carson it goes away, it's a permanent cold/allergy thing that isn't treatable!!

I thought maybe I developed allergies to something, so I meticulously cleaned our bedroom (since that's where I am at night/morning) and vacuumed the mattress, headboard, blinds, etc.. and no change. Then we went to Tunica, thought if I'm allergic to my feather pillows or the cats suddenly, it would stop.. no change in Tunica, same pattern, fades throughout the day then full force at night.. so.. LUCKILY that means I'm not allergic to my cats (I was worried).

Had 1/2 cherry yoplait yogurt for b'fast & 1/2c of apple juice. Having a Smart Ones meatloaf for lunch & a cup of applesauce. Also have 1/2c of root beer.

Had 20oz of Water so far.. going to make salmon for dinner--I've yet to make it at home where I liked it, but Russ always likes it and eats mine.. so then I heat up something else. Going to try yet again, with another recipe.

Sounds gross, but some food show I watched showed that you can steam cook salmon in your dish washer-- and I swear it looked YUMMY lol. I told Russ about it, and he said I better not cook our dinner in the dish washer.

DIL Jen is at Point East which is the mental health unit of the hospital. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs. Ethan is still here until his daddy comes to pick him up. We've read books and played Wii all day. Gramma is tired, but happy to be able to help this way.

Just wish we were closer to Kat to be able to give her our love and support in person.

      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.
