Someone else started a conversation about this in the Lounge, I think, but I wanted to start it here on the Texas board, also. Let's use this board as a place to offer or ask for assistance.

I live north of Dallas, and can't offer a guest room, but please PM me for my phone numbers if you have questions like where to board pets, local motel/hotel numbers, assistance agency numbers or whatever, and I'll try to get you some info. Others on the other thread have offered their homes and other help, so check for that other thread. Please post if you are leaving your home, what precautions you are taking, etc...and thanks to the Florida folks who have offered good advice.

Stay safe, Cindy

Great idea Cindy! I am offering to board a pet temporarily if someone needs me too. I don't have any extra room, but can offer assistance where I can. PM if you want my number.

I live in the northern part of DFW, Lewisville, and can help with birds or other domestic pets. I have a dog, three cats, three cockatiels, and three cockatiel eggs the first one is due to hatch on Sunday.

If anyone needs my help just let me know..

Things aren't going so well. I'd suggest those in the DFW area make sure you have enough gas and food supplies as I'm hearing gas shortages and food shortages just due to the evacuees coming into the area. God help us all!

Has anyone heard from Paula since recently? She never has called me. I'm not sure where she's evacuating to, but this thing is headed straight for her area. :) She's my band daughter and I'm so scared for her and her loved ones. :D And GINNY PLEASE REPORT IN!! NANCY - Claraluz, Lisa Green, Marie - New Hope.... please pray for these ladies and their families..

I had a pm from Paula, she was headed to a safer place, a friends house about 30 miles from her house. I told her she could come here if she wanted to.

Nance is at her brothers, it took her about 18 hours to get there, but she is safe.

Marie is in Loftin, I think the storm is headed that way!

I haven't heard about Ginny.

I filled up with gas yesterday, I also went to the store. I must say that people had big carts and flatbeds full of Water. They were buying blankets/sheets/pillows too, along with lots of batteries. I know they are saying some gas stations are closing for lack of gas.

      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.
