Meatwater: Many people choose to mix MeatWater with vodka, again a lifestyle choice. This allows people to combinedinner and drinks, providing an even higher level of efficiency for today's busy athlecutive. HAHAHAHAHA. I love these guys! Making fun of the very people that drive me nuts.

Thinking it's a good thing that that the Bears didn't win, auto insurance companies would go under if they had.

I've decided that once I get to 100lbs lost I'm going to start training to do charity walks. That is of course as long as I make it through tonight. Which is iffy. :-P

So nervous. Never had surgery before (well..that I can remember..I had tonsils out when I was two..but that doesn't count) I know everything will go okay, (well I hope so anyways) just can't get rid of the butterflies.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE: Nighttime Safari at Busch Gardens. $60 per person (doesn't include park admission, but you don't need it) It's after the park closes. You get all you can drink beer/wine/soda, hors d'ourves like spanakopita, hummus and pit, cocktail shrimp, etc.

Went to BG yesterday..saw two chimps start to make babies, the as soon as the "act" happened the female gave a gigantic grin. Then about a second later another HUGE gimp came running across the area jumped about 8 feet in the air and landed in front of the couple enjoying themselves..then proceeded to slap the other male. Twas priceless.

To everyone who is calling for stricter gun laws in light of the tragedy in Tucson, may I offer this little tidbit: If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat. Remember: Hold the person accountable for their actions, not the means they chose to utilize!!!

Hello All! My name is Kimberly. I am 24 yrs young, married with no children, and currently a pre-Nursing student. I am 5'7, 354lbs with a BMI of 55.4. I started the lapband journey just over a year ago. I have Humana EPO, and they have been terrific. To qualify I had to have: Medical records with recorded weights for the past two years, (one a year was sufficient), Letter of Medical Necessity from my PCP, and 6 consecutive months of nutrition/exercise advise from my PCP (each month I went to the doc, she typed in something along the lines of "advised Kimberly she needed to lose weight, follow low-carb high Protein diet and exercsie 3x per week..yadda yadda yadda). I turned all of that into my insurance and received an approval less than a week later! (This was after my father, who is the primary insurance holder, forgot to renew me on his insurance last January..thus having to wait another 6 months until his open enrollment, then another 3 months for my insurance to become effective again, so this prolonged everything by 9 months :-/) But alls well that ends well, and now I am anxiously awaiting my surgery date. I am having it January 25th with Dr.Rehnke at the Palms of Pasadena Hospital in St.Pete, FL. I start the Optifast on January 11th, and really am NOT looking forward to it. What helps me is the fact that my mother had the surgery with the same doctor a few years ago, so she has a bunch of tricks that she has passed on to me. One of which is to buy a BUNCH of different flavored extracts, like banana, Coconut, Almond etc. to add to the shakes. I'm hoping that will help with the variety. I guess the main things I'm nervous about are: 1.) I have bad acid reflux when I don't eat. Will I have this while on optifast? 2.) Anesthesia. I've never been under before, so I'm frightened of what my reaction will be. 3.) Just generally nervous about something unbeknownst happening to delay or prevent the surgery such as bad preop testing, complications in surgery, and various of other possible scenarios that have to come to mind. I want this so bad, I feel like I've been dreaming of it for a very long time, and now that my dream is being realized I'm afraid I will wake up! I look forward to continuing to post as I experience this new journey in my life and I look forward to reading all of your stories as well! Happy New Year!

No more complaining about snow people!!!! Some of us who haven't seen it in a decade would really kill for some right about now!

So it will be official...in March I will be unemployed :-( I told my company not to consider me when deciding who they are going to keep since they will be moving to an office location about an hour from here and I won't be able to make the timing work. I'd hate to take someone's spot, only to have to quit after a while because I can't be late for class.

Can someone puhlease explain to me why sushi is supposedly good? I honestly don't understand why raw fish is appealing. Raw hamburger or raw chicken isn't...so why fish? Am I missing something, or is my palate just not refined enough.

Took my mother to her first "Adult Store" today to get some bridal shower gifts. Almost died laughing on the way home. I think she almost had a heart attack. If I didn't look like her, I would swear that we aren't related.

Please pray for me! Job is laying off half of its workforce, and I REALLY don't want to be part of those layed off (Who would?) Also, just in case, please keep a lookout for me for jobs in the Tampa area (flexible hours, administrative or clerical)

Thinking about starting a blog detailing my weight loss journey. Might end up writing a book about it. Definitely going to do a journal though, I really want to record every thought, action, and so on that I have regarding this whole thing.

7 days and counting until I start Optifast. NOT looking forward to it, at least I get all you can eat (drink) broth, and sugar free popsicles. I AM looking forward to losing about 30lbs while on it though.

On a mission to stuff every last carb I possibly can into my body before I start my Optifast diet on January 11th, two weeks before I am banded!

Hehehe. I don't really even remember where I heard of it, but somehow I did. I've been thinking about it for a few months so just went online and typed into Google, electronic cigarette. A BUNCH of different ones came up, so I did some research and went with the one that seemed to suit me best. The one I have is black, approx the same size of a cigarette, and a bit heavier, it looks like a Clove cig if you've ever seen one of those. It is essentially (forgive me...this will be VERY simplistic..) a battery with a light at one end that glows red when you inhale, I'm guessing they wanted to make it as much like a cig as possible. The battery twists into a heating element. The heating element twists into a cartridge that is filled with some type of Fiber that is soaked in menthol flavored liquid nicotine. You charge the battery in the wall, or your pc via a USB cord. The battery charges the heating element, the heating element vaporizes the liquid, and you inhale menthol nicotine vapor. Its pretty nifty. All the benefits of appeasing a smoking addiciton, without all the negatives. Plus, you can "vape" it anywhere. (Although, to be honest, I still get weird looks from people, and have since quit smoking it anywhere I felt like it..plus it fools my mind into thinking it is a "real" cigarette when I tell myself I can only smoke it outside, etc.)
