Sorta Bummed Out



Recommended Posts

Cindy...

I actually work at a haunted house, this costume has nothing to do with trick or treat with my boy. He hasn't seen me in ANY of my "work" costumes. He couldn't tolerate that! He and I go out trick or treating and we usually have costumes that match. One year I made him Elvis!! I was a girl in a poodle skirt (which I glued together!!), and bobby socks and the whole works* That was so much fun..of course NO PICTURES .... If he saw me in my work costumes, he wouldnt sleep ever again!! And just for the record, it was MY idea on how to save my costume this year...shes just paid to make it happen :) I AM SOO KIDDING. We worked together on the idea. Great minds think alike ehehehehe OHHH the evil mood is rising~~ FIVE MORE DAYS TILL OPENNING NIGHT FIVE MORE DAYS TILL OPENNING NIGHT

I do believe that "v" piece of material is called a gusset, many, many years ago when I got married, the seamstress had to add a gusset under each arm to increase the bust size.

Groovy that the dress is going to work. AND next year when that dress is too big for you, you can add loops and cord to the front and lace it up in both back and front to make it fit...

** DRESS UPDATE **

I had to go to my cousins house tonight for a fitting. She is really doing an awesome job. She was supose to have put in some loose stitches tonight so I can go back over tonight for another fitting, just to make sure...before she puts the final stitching in. I really owe her big time. I told her I would try and get her comp tickets to the haunted house....I dunno, we will see. :) I did a final run with all my make up and wig last night...HO~LEEEEE~MOLEY I sent a picture to my father and he said I did an AWESOME job. I can't wait to just DO IT!! FOUR MORE DAYS TILL OPENNING NIGHT! This is going to be the best one yet, and I have had some pretty awesome costumes.

ReneBean ~~Ya know, when I was standing there tonight getting the fitting done, I thought to myself, now what am I gonna do with this costume when it gets too big. Hum I will have to keep your idea in mind......It will be 17 months after my surgery when Openning night rolls around again next year....I should have hit my goal by then...God willing...

The saga continues. I will not rest till the costume is back home.....:(

If you get REALLY small, you can add the loops/cord to the sides and lace it up on both sides and in the back for that "bustle" effect. Flat over the tummy with lots of gather in the back... Of course, you have all year to think about it, now.

Good luck on opening - and send pictures!

      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.
