  1. I was gone for a few days and this place has blown up! What the heck happened? Time for me to dig in a read some posts on this cold, rainy day!

      I sent you a PM. I'm letting you know here as some folks don't see them on their phones.

  3. Took a nice break; back to read some info; I have my first consult/appt next week on the 19th. FInally coming around. On the downside, my insurance company is requiring me to do all the weight management part again, because there wasn't a CONSECUTIVE documented doctor visits. Ugh. I went from March 2016 to Dec 2016; and only Sept was documented in between. But I'm trying to stay positive. It shall pass.

      The whole paperwork thing sucks, but on the positive side, apart from the paperwork, you are making progress where it really counts.

  4. I am anxious and excited. Headed to Vegas on Friday. After 30 years of going there at least twice per year, we have made many friends. I have not seen them nor have they seen me since 10 weeks after surgery. Many don't know and I am somewhat unrecognizable. Looking forward to seeing them, have to decide what I share and what i don't. It will be fun though, it is vegas afterall!

  5. I am down a buck and a quarter as of this morning! That number is not round, but then again, neither am I - any more! 125 has a nice feel to it for some reason. Haha, tomorrow is my three month anniversary since surgery.

      Thank you both! This is new territory for me. The last couple of diets got me into the 360s, but I haven't seen the 350s in over 20 years.

      Thank you. I was in a stall for almost three weeks. Then, last week I got on the scale and had dropped four pounds in four days. Patience, young grasshopper. ;-) At least, that is what I kept telling myself. I was lying about the young part though.

  10. Today was my first day on the lathe for some serious wood cutting since before surgery. I discovered an unintended (or unforeseen) consequence. My smock which keeps the wood chips from going down the inside of my shirt is now too big, and cannot be tightened enough to be snug around my neck. And believe it or not, I have a funny story about this, which involves wood chips, Mrs. LittleBill's underwear, and threats made to my safety. Hundreds of people at demos have heard it. ;-)

    1. LittleBill

      LittleBill

      Haha, staple gun. If only you knew how many times we woodworkers suggest that to one another. Then again, maybe you do! In my circle, we are full of wisdom (or something) about the best uses for staples, nails, glues, or other holding methods for things like clothing, wounds, etc. thank you for the laugh.

  11. Saw my nutritionist today and learned that I am not doing as badly as I thought. I am a slow loser but I am losing mostly body fat! I just have to get more water and keep fighting the head hunger.

      Perspective from an outside source is always a good thing. Well, almost always. Congratulations on a good report!

       

  12. I'll be visiting my mom this week. You know the one that tells me I should lose weight but in the same breath say "Why aren't you eating? Are you sick?" Gotta love her though. ^^

    1. LittleBill

      LittleBill

      Are you my sister? That was probably my biggest problem growing up. Can't you finish that so I don't have to put it away? You really need to do something about your weight you know! Moommmmm!!! Pick one and stick with it! She never did. But, she has been very supportive of my WLS endeavor. I hope your visit goes well, and that the cat relinquishes your tongue while you are there. ;-)

      I was going to make a pun, but on second thought it might have gone too fur.

      I think you're doing fine. And with the written word, you have time and editing on your side as well.

      She was pretty emphatic about that. She got right in my face and said, "There are wood chips in my underwear - AFTER I put them through the laundry! You WILL get a smock and you WILL wear it!" When I tell the whole story, people are rolling in the floor. I finish it up with the admonition that there are only two letters that need to change to go from marital to martial.

  17. Gonna put this little PSA here for your benefit.....while it can provide near immediate support and restoration of function.....duct tape should not ever...ever, be used as a bandage/wrap for a sore titty. Removing that stuff was like a redneck waxing. Long story....but ouch. Damn.

    1. LittleBill

      LittleBill

      You know, it might have helped if you sprayed it real good with WD40 before ripping it off. One redneck fix often helps with the other. WD40 and duct tape cancel each other out, you know. ;-)

  18. Well, my husband and I have decided there will be NO MX surgery... I'm looking at a surgeon in FL that does the VSG for $7800. I've sent him 2 requests with no response. I'm also looking locally. God is in Control! There;s a reason for it all!

      @Sai, thank you! I love my hats, and have several. I will have to post a picture of the one I received for my birthday back in '15.

      You sound like our oldest daughter. She grew up here in eastern PA, where it is cold (not like Alaska though). For the past 11 years, she has lived in Florida. Now she thinks 60 degrees is freezing.

      That's just nuts! Seriously. Where I was a moderator, a person like that would be perma banned. I dropped the ban hammer on a number of people who thought it was fun to create sock puppet accounts.

      I never made it to the store, so I had to do it the old fashioned way. Today though... Gym, store, and perhaps some likker. ;-) But I have to start prepping for a demo next week, and I just signed up for another demo in 2 1/2 weeks, so I need to get in the shop and practice some. It is always a bad thing to look stupid in front of a crowd. So likker may be off the table (or under it, however that works).
