Thanks Pete!

I lived in Stafford for 10 years, but moved (back) to Spotsylvania a few years ago. (Pentagon Pete makes more sense now.) They're calling for ice storms tonight. When I was a kid, we got nice fluffy snow. Now that's a rarity and ice is the norm.

BTW - Congratulations on your spectacular weight loss thus far. My doctor is making wait 6 weeks before I exercise. :wink_smile:

Before I moved down to Florida just over 2 years ago I was in Stafford just off of Winding Creek road for about 3 and a half years and then up in Alexandria for 10 months. I was working at the Pentagon thus my yahoo name of PentagonPete. And before all that I was back in Oregon with a short time in Colorado and Idaho. I tell everyone that I am the gypsy of the family. LOL The longest I have lived in anyone place since I left home after high school was when I lived in Stafford.

So yeah the snow and ice just sounds like so much fun. Not! We're enjoying our 70 and 80 degree weather with blue sky and at this time of the year lower humidity! Best time of the year to be in Florida. (especially this year with all the winter storms)

I'm a lifetime VA resident. *sigh* I'd love to move somewhere warmer, but my job (Quantico) keeps me here.

Gotta stretch your wings our Veronica and see what else is out there :wink_smile: - But then again Spotsy is a decent place to live and in this day in age a good job is something to hold onto.

That's very cool! I have a good friend of mine that my wife and I come visit a few times a year that lives in Richmond. It's amazing how many people I meet from Virginia. LOL

That's due to good ol' southern cooking! A lot of us have a "few" pounds to lose.

Mary Washington is down the street from me. Obama campaigned there in the fall. What an amazing crowd that was!

      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.
