Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

Where is everyone today? I had Taran's birthday party today at Sky High in Rancho Cordova. There were 8 little girls, one little boy, and my three. The kids jumped on the trampolines for an hour then had pizza and cake.

We should meet there for an hour of jumping and burn some serious calories. It is $9 for an hour of jumping.

I didn't have any pizza - was afraid to even go there - and only had a bite of cake. I had about 8 nacho chips and then some frosting when we got home. Frosting? Yep, desperate measures - I can't wait for my fill on the 9th either - I wish Richmond was closer so I could have visits with Robin every couple of weeks for a psychological booster.

Boy I am ready for bed already - good thing I don't have a social life if I need to go to bed at 9 pm. :wub:

evening ladies...well those of you around.

No we didn't get together today, but I did walk the bridge early before it got hot.

So today was Michael Jackson's b-day and there is a chicken & waffle place in oakland that was serving waffles for 51 cents...like I needed one but of course I got it any way. It was so good but i know I'm going to pay for it all week.

How's the weather up in Sac area? it is so hot in the bay area.

Tina glad the resume helped. I did a lot of research to finally get it together. You can also google interview questions and it will be very helpful as well.

I don't know how I'm going to do this paper. I'll figure something out. I even went so far as to check Amazon and see if any of the text is available... but only the table of contents and the index were there. Boo.

I didn't get to the gym either. I rode the bike for 30 minutes and looked at the biggest loser workout dvd I got from Netflix over a month ago. Didn't even put it on, just looked at it. I did, however, go to target and spend too much money.

Pam- we should definately go jump for an hour! I bet it's so much fun, we'd be rockstars! I also saw they have an "air-robics" class. That would be a good way to burn off all the carbs Tina and I have been consuming!

So these past couple of days I've sort of reverted back to some of my old bad habits. I don't even feel good. All this junk food makes me feel sick. You'd think I'd learn. I vow to get back on track tomorrow. All Cookies are frozen, and if I even go into the freezer to get one, I'm throwing them in the trash and covering them in ketchup. Why is it so hard to get back on track after a short break? I haven't been exercising nearly like I was in the beginning. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'm re-committing myself to the cause! Wish me luck!

Yep Heather I hear ya girl...........I have great for five months but the last two days serious........it is hard to get back on track again. I hear ya............Tomorrow I have to get back on track I see Dr. Baggs on Thursday and I better not have gained anything...........ahh......

I think it is all the stress this week I am thinking I deserve some carbs and geez I have a headache from hell. I know better than this...........it has been five months since I have gone on a carb fest like this.......

At least I didn't go for the diet coke though!! I am still afraid of carbonation!! LOL

Nite all........

Hi girls!!! Been a long weekend!

Candra - I am still feeling very sore and my lower back is worse than it has been in weeks...all thanks to the idiot that made that quick right turn right across me. How are you doing?

I too would love to go to sky high and just jump but to be honest not sure if my back would like it so much but I am always willing to try anything!

Well I am off to sing with my church choir! We are doing a "Prayer for the Nations" tonight at a park in Rancho Cordova. There are a bunch of churches in the area that are getting together to sing, pray and do a salute to the armed forces. It should be beautiful!

I will post more tomorrow when I get to work...don't wanna be late! Take care ladies!

I just finished frosting 48 cupcakes - my daughter is taking 32 to school tomorrow for her birthday - she added the sprinkles. Good thing my band won't let me eat cake or I could have been in serious trouble.

I received a call from my co-worker on Friday - she is a retired annuitant and is heading up the project I am on due to her knowledge. Our manager called her while she was in Reno to let her know Monday may be her last day as the retired annuitants are being laid off again - he is trying to get an exemption for her until Oct 19 when our project finishes but doesn't know if he can. She called me so I would have a heads up as I will have to take over for her and do her work and mine. Great way to start my weekend - guess she couldn't have waited until to tonight to call me?

I had my parents over tonight for bbqd hamburgers and tater tots - I had 3 tater tots and then made the cupcakes - they brought my daughter her gift a day early - WII Sports Resort. So I will have to find some time to try it.

Tomorrow is payday so I'll have some money for at least a couple of days. My dad is going to give me checks for my kids' school lunches for September so that will help.

Gotta go wash another pile of dishes so my mom doesn't have to do them in the morning.

Ah Pam that sounds so familiar.............hang in there. I might be in your position next month doing the work for two people or more. I guess we all just hang in there and know things will get better!!

yea school lunches. Expensive. We might have to stop that here and go to making lunches again. Funny you dealing with the same issue....................My parents are helping with other stuff so they can't help with the food this time around..................

I like Nicoles idea of saving some. I am not sure how but I do know I am gonna try. Cut out starbucks and cable this weekend..............internet I need for work but if I get laid off that goes too...I will use the library for job searches.............I would really like to put as much aside as I can............great idea nicole!!

      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.
