  1. Almost five years out in March of 2016 and feeling great. I have gained 12 pounds in the past five months. Constantly snacking on unhealthy items.

      Hey sista girl, of course you miss her, and always will. 9 years later I miss my mom like she left yesterday. Sometimes I think I see her in the street, but it's just someone who reminds me of her. Tell her happy birthday, tell her about the plans you have, tell her how much you miss her. I was alone during my surgery because the only two people who I would of shared this with both died the same year. My mom and sister is forever in my heart. Your mom will be forever in yours. Have a good pre op tomorrow and I wish you peace and blessings.

  9. I have never in my life eaten so much peanut butter!

  10. I'm really thinking hard about maintaining my weight loss. I have some stubborn bad habits, like watching TV or reading instead of exercising after work. I also find that I get hungry sooner after a meal than I used to. I don't want to walk down the road to regain.

      O, ok. That can be tough. I was able to get a cheap membership. Not a fancy gym, but it gets the job done. I'm not an exercise person, so I have to push myself. Best.

      Go directly to the gym after work. Then go home and read or watch tv.

    1. finediva

      finediva

      Yes we do! I tried not to act up every time an obstacle came up when I was going through the approval process, but girl it was difficult at times! I had to constantly tell myself not to act the fool with sone of the people I had to deal with. Trust me, it was difficult alot of times to stay calm and focused. I hope with you that you will begin this awesome journey in the next few days. Keep hanging in there!

      What's going on with what?

  17. My FAB boss is advocating for me to only have her as a boss and to reinstate me on one campus which means that I could potentially become the Dean of Customized Training and Development! As you noticed, I used the words, 'working on' and 'could' so nothing's guaranteed, so I still keep my eyes open and up head up!

      I hope it all works out for you, and soon. Best.

  18. How is it possible that at 5ft3ins and 177lbs I an able to fit into size 10 slacks? I'm I really a size 14 in clothes made back in tge 1980s and 1990s?

    1. finediva

      finediva

      Icanmakeit..theses are very well made liz clairborne slacks at J*p***y right now. I can't believe you would also wear the 10. You would have to be in the 4 or 6 at 30+ pounds lighter than I am. Don't get me wrong, I loved when the 12 was too big and I had to put on the 10, which fit perfectly. But still weired. And yes, I heard about vanity sizing about 10 yrs ago. At this rate I guess I will be able to say I wear a 6 if I continue to lose.

      So sorry to hear. In 2005 I nursed two very close family members through cancer. That together with three kids and a job almost destroyed me and took me over three years to bounce back. If you c an do your surgery now, go for it before things get really hectic. Best to you and mom.

  22. Maybe cooking in the crock pot on day 11 of the preop diet wasn't good idea...the house smells sooooo good right now....sigh. I'm drinking some decaf ginger tea...

      Yum. Stay strong girl. But I feel your pain. I cooked several meals for my teenager during my pre op week, so I sympathize with you.
