Hey guys. I haven't been around too much lately...and I just wanted to stop in and tell you all that Im thinking of you all. Life has gotten so busy. I am still in the process of moving out of my apartment. My mothers house is a wreck and shes pulling her hair out. But we all have a new life to adjust to here~ That job that I thought I had a few weeks ago never panned out. They told me that they were having problems with their phone lines and they would call me with a start date, and well, they never called. So I called them, and the lady that was to be my "boss" never called me back~ Sooooo that translated to me that they were trying out another girl and if she sucked then they would call me in...Their loss~ But now its back to the grind....Gotta find a job!! I haven't been too bad with my lap band life either. I have been sticking to and following most of the rules. I have a hard time getting in my Vitamins and water....but my stomach is usually upset or very restricted to eat much or drink much...it tightens with stress... I haven't been exercising other than the moving stuff.....and I haven't weighed in in about three weeks. I have a doctors appointment coming up at the end of this month...I just may wait until then to get weighed....my scale is a big liar anyways~ And finally, there was a big holiday party that was held by my surgeon and the associates that he works with. It was gorgious and I had such a good time. Everyone that had surgery up to a certain date was invited....the first patient that he ever performed surgery on was there, the hospital staff that takes care of all his patients was there, the administrators from the hospital was there.....There was about 400 attendees all together. It was at a country club and everyone was dressed sooooo nice!!! I went with a couple of other lap band buddies that I have made along the way and had an excellent time~ I had to leave early to go pick up my son, and I went right to the apartment in my party dress~~~ My husband looked me up and down and up and down and quicked looked away! The next day he called me to check on our son, and said, You looked very pretty last night! My teeth almost fell out of my head...but hey, he noticed and I said, YES I DID! And its only going to get better!!! Im going to try and attach a photo that I took with my web cam.....in the move I screwed something up on my computer so the colors aren't right, so forgive me if the photo isn't the best...it looks pretty good to me :)

Okay all...I hope to talk with you all soon~~~~

Aw doll, you look gorgeous!!!! Way to knock those socks off, girl! It's so good to see you happy. I wonder if hubby will pull his head out? Is it too late for that? Maybe so. Just take good care of little man, like I know you will, and instead of regular exercise...use your energy getting things organized at your mom's. That counts, too!!!

Good job. You really look fantastic!

Hey guys...Thanks for the compliments~~~ I did have such a good time at that dinner... I did need a nice night out. Hubbie may be kicking him self in the ass right about now...and it is way too late to be pulling his head out of it!! Thats for sure. No going back now. I am about half way to my weight goal.. I can only imagin how that dress would look with me in it, 50 pounds lighter than I am now...WHOOHOOWW....it would be falling off~~ ehehehehe ~~~

Okay....gotta go get some more things organized...thats right house work does count towards exercise...OH THANK GOD~~ ehehehehe

LATER GUYS!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
