Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

Janie,

That cookie receipe sounds good...they taste like candy? Do I use Old Fashioned oats or quick oats? How many does this receipe make? I need 72 cookies!

Susie, I don't have a press, but thanks. I printed out the Breakfast caserole...that sounds yummy. My MIL does the cooking, but if she will let me...I'll make it for xmas morn!

off to grab a salad!

You will get at least 72, it makes a lot. I use the cylinder of Quaker Oats, let me run and check, it says quick one minute.

Off to work!!!!

I can reply to that, Laura: Yes! Cook the sausage first. We make that b'fast casserole, too... mmm... you could use chopped up ham instead of the sausage if you wanted, too. I usually 1/2 it for just the 4 of us... I make the bigger one if we have co.

Michelle, everytime I look at your pix...I think of popcorn!!! I love popcorn (although it gives me gas TMI!!)

I've got $550 in my pocket and am going to the PTG (like the PTA) president to get a check for our field trip to the Museum of Tolerance!!! I am soooo excited and it has taken us FOREVER to get this money from the kids!

Pop in later...I need to do my xmas cards! Laura, I LOVED mine. Jackie recognized Carson from the voting thing, lol!

He is famous on the west coast!

Laura -- as Michelle said, yes, you do need to cook the sausage first. We have subsituted some ham before as well. It is fairly easy to get ready and yummy as well!! Well worth a trial run. My Mom always has the stuff on hand to be able to make this casserole. Makes it for Easter morning as well.

Hugs to everyone!!

Suzanne

Good evening, Violets..

Chapel service went well today. They always love hearing the flutes and it's such an easy gig. I stayed after and got all my music ready for January. We won't be in church for 3 Sundays so I had to pick out some easy music that anyone could lead. 25 days till our cruise!!

I came home, read on the puter and then took a little nap. I'm going to warm up some leftovers and then head to my singing rehearsal.

Michelle!!! Good for you on avoiding temptation. I don't make Christmas Cookies because I can't resist. We make fudge and that's not a problem because I really don't like fudge that much.

Off to warm up some food. Everyone have a good evening!!

Good morning, Violets..

I'm up and waiting for Ethan to arrive for the day. We made a batch of fudge last night. Turned out ok, but not as creamy as I'd like. Going to try a couple more batches today. I have to have a gift box of fudge ready to take to our dog groomer today. 2 hour choir rehearsal tonight and then going out to dinner with them all. Our pageant is Saturday and we are not quite ready yet, but we'll get there!

Off to get some breakfast and get dressed.

Everyone make it a great day!!

I did Christmas cards yesterday too!!

Busyish day at work today. I still have a few more Christmas cards to do, then I really need to wrap gifts. If you remember last year I was in the hospital until 4:30 Christams eve, so since we open on Christmas eve, nobody got theirs wrapped!!

Haydee, I hope you are very very busy and nothing is wrong!!!!

Everyone have a good day!!

      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.
