Paula you looked so great in your family picture! Congrats on your great weight loss!!

Where exactly (if you don't mind my asking. if you do just tell me! :() are you in Louisiana? We lived in Lake Charles for several years and LOVED it. We went to Holly Beach very often and it's so sad to see the damage.

If you're 30 mins north of Holly Beach I"m assuming Lake Charles, Sulphur or Hackberry but I could totally be off too!

Several of our good friends in Lake Charles and Sulphur lost almost everything. Homes, businesses, etc. So sad. We're headed down to help one of these days soon.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and thanks for posting the pictures.

Wow. Unbelievable. Devastating. Destructive. Sad. Heart breaking. So many thoughts about everyone that is dealing with this incident. I am sorry for your loss but I tremendously respect your desire, will, attitude and perseverence.

Wow, that is incredible. A recent seminary graduate from our church is headed to Lake Charles as a Chaplain with Samartian's Purse. Looks like he's got lots of work to do there...he will be serving the spiritual needs of people but will also be doing some back-breaking work there. Plenty to do still, I'm sure. Amazing. So glad you all are safe!

      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.
