Hi everyone I'm back!   One month out now, wow has time gone at warp speed after surgery, crazy time to have it but so grateful! I am doing awesome,  I just opened my site finally folks have been e mailing and calling and with surgery and my computer crashing  got a bit behind, wish I had a smellexperience button,  for ya  www.freshbakedrefills.com       I feel like I know most of you and many have asked about my website so thought I would take a moment to welcome you ... I'm Primitive rustic  a bit more then country..  will have more photos of my shop and all that soon, just opened TODAY after being down for a few years.. shops been open but not on line.            I also have a new digital camera and my daughters say its already time for some after photos to be updated will work on that this week, everyone is commenting already on the weight loss I have lost about 30 pounds since the start of the liquid diet so since surgery itself around 23 lbs and  thursday  jan 10th will be one month. I think thats AWESOME!          I am struggling to eat 3 times a day- I drink  , but  not always getting 3 "MEALS "  in..    My taste buds have totally tanked they are changing regulary..   I  Finally found some no sugar added yogurt  and woooooww was that heavenly..   I'm sick of shrimp.. no fish smelling anything for a while.. but was trying to get that 23 grams in  at least once.. cheese is my new soul mate.          skim milk and cheese!         I see krista( the NUT) as you all say hehe ~  Thursday MY 1 month  check UP< go up on the diet stage  lOOK out veggies here I come, but only after the 3 meals and proteins..           Thanks for taking the time to read this chapter.. Happy New Year!    I love this...   If you always do      What you Always did    You always get        what you always got!!!              EMBRACE CHange.... 

Scented Blessings!              A  l  l  i  c  c  a

Allicca, I am so glad to hear that you are doing well! I am impressed that you are back to work on your candles so soon!!! You are amazing.

How's your back feeling? Did all the rest time make it worse or better (or no change at all?)


It sounds like you are recovering well, and learning how to get in the nutrition you need. I am excited to hear how it all goes for you and please know that you are in my thoughts.

HI Shelli YOU LOOK SOO PRETTY! and taller too, nice photo!   wirt  phew, thats a whistle in computer talk hehe .          Candles are in my  blood, it took months to get web site up again, my shop opened in OCtober. We bought this place in August and  it came with a beautiful  CANDLE POURING Shed.We wired and insulated and heating and cooling in it.. we call it the wax house, and in the home the  entry way we built into a shop... It was meant to be.. again..       I have to keep my  sanity  and keep moving , in between the good and the bad, I have help! I have couple gals that work for candles and yeo  beautiful daughters and very helpful husband.. anyone that visits   cuts labels  business cards, ties bows shrink wraps  Its a community event around here..                   YOU'll looking soo nice, just a sparkling you are!  making any of the support groups? I think there is one  MOnday, I know how far you are away for an hour and half meeting makes it rough in the winter.                    take care  Blessings Allicca

Hi Allicca, Your site is so cool! I am sure I will be ordering some!! Good job on your first month!! Not to worry on the food.  As long as you are getting plenty of fluids.  Are you able to get in the protein suppliments?  Very important too!  I am sure you will be fine!! Keep up the good work!! 

Kathi G.  I LOVE MY RNY!!

HI Kathi I am  a bit worried about  getting the food  in as I worry about stricture and  as they all say if you dont use it you lose it..            Not getting the full fluids because of the one or two meals a day. always get at least 25 gram of protein 8oz water.  then with the skim milk and food protein   so not horrible             I dont like the feeling of feeling all my food go down, even hear it  girguling etc. hoping that will go away??             I am seeing Krista Today and  will feel good to chat with her.  I am soo glad that i havent had any intolerances to milk products  nor any extreme gas you folks talk of, maybe thats coming..           not good to have those  smells in a candle shop hehe     My  this stage fear is stricture, but as long as i am keeping all liquids   yogurts and soft foods down, thats a good sign, I will be comforted  by talking with  the center folks today            have a great day.. gotta a ton to do and shipping orders too..  God is good ALL THE TIME!  Blessings                 Allicca
