Shrinking Violets Part 4



Recommended Posts

oh and thank you for that lovely visual of me in a mini with a crop top and that elastic cutting off my circulation to my lower leg. I will look just like a trussed up turkey which juan will love because turkey is his favorite!

and as far as the demure blue dresses you posted above. is the brestesses hike up surgery included in the cost of the dress?

Like I said.. no need to thank me now. Just seeing you in that dress will be all the thanks I need.

I vote for the second one. Does it come with a wand or will there be those frilly parasols to go with it.

Can Janie get us some eyeshadow to match the dresses and false eye lashes? And do our hair?

I need to get out and find a suit for hubby to wear. Don't want him to clash with me.

Ummmm, I don't think so. Us Violets stand together. All for one and one for all. We all shine as one. (Don't think that we don't know that you would just be back there snickering)

Morning gals

i am awake, that is a good thing - still struggling through every day.

I booked my trip to Atlantic City yesterday afternoon, I'm glad not going to CT. I don't think i could handle that. I got a room right at the Tropicana for $72 a night, my aunt who passed away is supporting my trip, all the cousins/aunts made a small contribution to my mental well being. I'll have a total of $400 in sending money which is more than enough, because what do i do?? i want to sit on the beach and pool and have some fun night life. I've never been able to do that because the kids were always too small to leave alone.

I'm going to get my roots done this morning, they are horrible, and well... the last few times because of meds, and my overall health, they have been coming out different colors, last time was a little darker, the time beore my roots were bright red.... so i guess we will see today.

Haydee, I think you should assign Judy to find the perfect dresses, it looks like she is on the right track...LOL

Have a great day

I agree. Judy will decide what we all wear, she has the best taste!

How's everyone today?? I'm doing better today. Juan took me to Dairy Queen last night, big no no. We talked at length about the pro's and con's of the two venues. The only thing that keeps pushing me to have it at his mom's house is the fact that I don't want to spend $30k on this wedding... We will make our final decision tonight.

The good news is that I did a 10 year history on the weather for my area during that day and the day before and the day after and it looks like the average high is 89 and the average low is 64. It only rained one day out of those three days over ten years. And the rain was negligible (sp?). So that's a huge plus for me. It'll be nice and cool and hopefully no rain...

Like Tracy said, it's hot hot hot over here. My A/C in my car has been malfunctioning for about a month now. It only shoots out cold air when the car is going fast. Juan said it was the air compressor and that those are thousand's of dollars to replace so I've just been sucking it up and sweating in the car. I figured that I could live with it like that for awhile since I didn't want to spend the money on it. Well, this weekend was so hot and I was dying while doing my errands. So I finally caved in and took it to the dealership for a diagnose and an estime. Turns out that when I purchased the car I also purchased the top of the line extended warranty with it. All those type of repairs are covered! I've been suffering for nothing. My deductible is 100 dollars! I'm dropping it off today so I can get it fixed! yay yay yay...

Good morning, Violets..

Dare I say it...?? It was 45 degrees this morning. The pool guys are here today because the furnace is malfunctioning again. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I have a PMS luncheon today and then want to spend most of the afternoon in the pool. I have a singing rehearsal tonight. The Bobster and Nathan have gone fly fishing and will be gone all day and into the evening. Hope they have fun.

I will be happy to pick out all the dresses for the wedding. You know how hip and with it I am. You have nothing to fear, it will be beautiful. I'm really leaning towards the purple fairy dress with matching magic wands and lots of glittery make up.

Ummmmm Haydee..... 89 is nice a cool?? Maybe on YOUR planet!! That would be a stay inside with the a/c cranked up super high for us here.

I'm off to get showered and ready for the luncheon. Everyone have a great day!! Michelle.. glad you could check in. Now we need to hear from the good doctor.

I've been busy already this morning, just running around.

Haydee, that's great about your car. I wouldn't have had that kind of luck.

Jenn, I hope you have a really great time on your trip. this just may be what the doctor orderd.

Speaking of doctors. Where is our residential doctor? Has she returned from her world wind globe trotting trip?

Off to go get my housework done.

Don't forget that it is CTCD.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
