The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 8/25/2025, 4:17 pm, in reply to "Monday grats? nt" 1) Dad has a catscan today so hopefully we will know next steps within the week. My prayer is that the cancer hasn't grown and that the surgeon is confident with waiting longer for surgery for him. It's going to be a huge life-changer for him to have an ostomy bag 2) the sleeve clinic just called to tell me they are sending out my chocolate Optifast. They are going to see if they are getting more vanilla in soon too. I told her I was so happy about the surgery coming that it didn't matter ONE BIT to me 3) one month from today I will already be on the "other side" Surgery date is Sept 23 (pending Dad's outlook) 4) I am setting a goal of being down at least 30 by Christmas and 50 by my birthday! 5) my husband is the love of my life

Pre op Posted by Krista on 8/27/2025, 11:10 am, in reply to "So happy for you" Pre op I will be on optifast and limited veggies and other liquids for 2 weeks. Post op, full fluids for 2 weeks then in week 3 post op, start pureed/blenderized foods.

Krista Posted by Beverly on 8/25/2025, 10:03 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" I am praying with you about your dad's cancer NOT growing. I am excited for your surgery too. It's going to be life chabging.

Mine Posted by Paula on 8/25/2025, 10:31 am, in reply to "Monday grats? nt" Just thinking about how wonderful it is to not be wearing that vac and being able to take a full shower and wash my hair. Washing machine Living in a ranch style home with the laundry right outside my bedroom. Seeing all my travel collages all over my house. Only one client today. I'm trying to keep everyone on Tuesdays and Thursdays but I guess I will open Mondays up.
