Lee Anne-- I'm glad your doing well, I will be thinking about you.

Amy-- Come on second fill!

I am through whining about my rent houses, sometimes it is just overwhelming.

I ran for 20 min. straight this morning and finished Week 5 on C25K! Here is a pic of me when I finished.

I hope everyone has a great day! And weekend!

BIG NSV! I had to share! I just hit the mother load of jeans I had stashed away in a drawer! I was going through the closet and tried on a pair of jeans I got off e-bay a couple months ago. I wanted to see how long before I could zip them ...... they fit! They are size 13 cruel girl jeans. I thought I might have a couple size 13s stashed away someplace. I started looking through drawers and found several drawers full of my all time fav brand (Rockies), but they were all size 11. Then I hit the drawer of size 13s! Rockies! They are in the washer right now! whoo hooo!

Thats so awesome! Congrats! I can't wait till I'm getting into MUCH smaller jeans! :thumbup:

Fill #2 went very well. My surgeon put in 2ccs but that made me too tight so she took out .6cc and that gave me good restriction :) I now have a total of 2.9ccs in my band. She said apparently i get pretty tight with small fills so I'm guess that will be a good thing in the long run. :tt2:

Why don't you just say what you were thinking? "A guy that won't disappear for a month or 2 to go play stupid games on Facebook."

I'm experiencing an NSV right now and just noticed.

I am walking around with a bath towel wrapped around my waste and can't remember the last time I could not only wrap it completely around but also do that little tuck to make it stay up.

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday to all!!! Yay.

Great on the NSVs! I love those!

Michael, WELCOME!!! Raiders..BOO :thumbup:

I was in stuck city this week. Drat. Got stuck 3 times! Was in a hurry at lunch the other day with all my managers. I was facilitating a meeting for them, and we were running short of time at lunch.< /p>

So, I was of course, trying to unwisely cram in the last few bites. It came back to bite me in the butt!

So, I did the urp into a public toilet, did not have the time to drop the a$$-gasket into the Water first, and you guessed it, splash into the EYE!! WAH!!!!

At least none of the managers was a witness to the event or even aware that I was stuck for that matter, so I am thankful for that!

But I did get to go to Palm Springs for the meeting for a few days, that was fun, and had some good bonding time in the evenings with them.

Except now there is photo evidence of me doing Karaoke to Tequila Sunrise...OY!

Ok, I can sing fairly well, but Karaoke isn't easy, and that song sucks! But it was fun. Karen can probably attest to the fact that it takes MUCHO practice to sing a song, not just stand up and read the words, even if you know the tune.

Well, I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Welcome Mike! Not much to report here. The scale is moving again so that always makes me happy. I need to update my ticker. I read this thread all the time but have little happening right now. I can't exercise (walk, etc.). And right now the pool is being worked on. Swimming is the best exercise for me. I need total knee replacement on both knees. I do daily chores and household chores and garden lightly but not much activity. Just waiting until I hit under 200 and then they can begin. One knee at a time. I am not looking forward to this as I've heard the recovery is a bear! Only 25 more pounds to go....Getting nervous about it and have probably already whined about it on this thread before but it's on my mind a lot. So thanks for listening again. I started a 2000 piece puzzle today of Van Gough's Starry Starry Night. I must be insane! There are pieces everywhere and it will probably take me the entire summer to complete. Never done a 2000 piece before so it should be interesting. Besides that nothing is new...just felt like writing to you all. Lots of hugs your way...Dottie

Dottie-it is a big surgery but I know a lot of people who were up and running in no time...I also know a crazy person who did both knees at once and was down for months so glad you're doing one at a time! Dedicate yourself to the post-op therapy, they know what they're talking about!

Michael-welcome to our happy home!

Everyone else, have a great weekend! My parents have kidnapped the boy and the dog until Wednesday and I have every intention of being worthless all day today. food network and a good paperback are as about as exciting as I plan to get. I was outside pulling weeds earlier but holy smokes it's hot out there so now it's just me and the A/C, thank you God for A/C!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
