Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

Good morning!!

Good luck Laura! Hope you're in recovery soon!!

Hello my violets. What a GORGEOUS day it's here today. Beautiful fall weather. Cold crisp air and bright shining sun.

I've got a wedding tomorrow but it's a small one. So I get to enjoy this beautiful weekend. Thinking of taking a drive to the hill country and we can have a picnic somewhere.

Booked another wedding for April next year. Our calendar is filling up fast!

Does anyone keep up with Cougar Town or Modern Family? Hilarious! Love those shows. I will watch them as soon as my DVR is done recording them on Wednesday nights.

Massive headache that I can't get rid of today...I'm gonna try taking more tylenol...

I love Modern Family, it is my favorite new show!! Yes Pamela I like it more than Glee (sorry).

I love your little guy Michelle, the one with the ugh!! I think we need to make him purple!! I cracked up when I saw that!!

Judy isn't 10 pounds a lot for you to lose by Thanksgiving? You are not that heavy to lose that much! Thanksgiving is less than 5 weeks........

Wow that looks like a big downer, Judy I can believe that you can do it.!!!!

Haydee did I mention that I LOVED the dress???

Got to get to work!!

Good evening, Violets...

Arrived here 6 hours after we left home. What a drive!! Grady was a real trooper. He only got fussy for a little bit. It's great to see the other grandkids. We went to Red Lobster and I had 3 coconut shrimp and some crab legs. Very yummy.

We're headed to bed and then shopping tomorrow and a hockey game. I finished reading The Help. What a great book!! Now I'm reading Long Narrow Boat to Indian River.

Everyone have a good evening... sleep well.

Thought I'd pop in before going to sleep.< /p>

The hospital is so dang disorganized. I schedule it 2 weeksish ago with the nurse, she said be there at 8 for pre-op, surgery at 10. Yesterday TWO people from the hospital (nurse & admissions) called, and said be there at 8. I even went over the schedule with one of them.

So this morning we're driving--ugh it was pouring rain and windy and dark..and after a couple hours on the road, about 30m away (at 7:20) mom called. She said hospital trying to call me, the number I gave them doesn't work (it did the day before???) so they called her to see where I was--I was suppose to be there at 6 for preop. Huh.

So all that aside, I finally got in for surgery around 10:20. It took 2 hours. Russ said the doc brought my port out to show him, and had other docs come and document, so there's a lot of witnesses that the port was actually defective. It BROKE IN HALF!! He said there's no way Carson would have done it, it was a defect.

So he's going to get in touch with Allergan and hopefully get reimbursement. I had a hard time waking up, and my throat is killing me. They gave me a huge bottle of liquid lortab, so I'm about to take some and hit the sheets.

Haydee I so love your dress, looks a lot like mine except I had the weird cap sleeves.

Thanks for all the good thoughts today!! ((HUGS))

It's a rainy day here today... actually supposed to get thunderstorms!... so am trying to find out if kids' activities are cancelled, etc. before heading out to a way-overbooked day. Make it a good one, everyone!

      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.
