Hello.. So what’s the next big adventure Lisa?

I’m planning my summer and keep using Disneyland for blackmail. It’s got Hunter out of night-time pull-ups and he's wiping his own ass:clap2:

Is the bash for sure the last weekend of Aug? I can try to use it as an excuse to buy more toys?

Everything is justified! I’m saving my money

You'all can come to my pad...we're de-winterizing the boat next week and it's been raining for weeks. Lots of Water in the lake, surfs up!

I don't have any fun planned for 3 solid weeks (maybe I'll try that "sleep" stuff I hear people talking about.) End of month is Laughlin River Run (biker weekend at the river) then the following weekend is a Slumber retreat in San Diego, where I invited Penni to come to Sea World with my Slumber family.

Vera, one day we'll get there, but this paralegal thing keeps me tied to limited vacation hours. It's a vicious circle, how can I book parties when I have to work, and how can I work if I have to book parties? Most gals quit their full time jobs in their 2nd year of Slumber, and if I quit I give up a large percentage of my 401K money. DOH!

Yes, the bash is still on! Vera, I'd LOVE to come for a boat ride but my vaca days are all spent this year.

Paula, did I eat any Cajun food? Are you nuts? Uh, YES! I ate at Buba Gumps, plus fried catfish on Bourbon Street, plus we rode out to some really fun place where locals danced to a Cajun Band, where we ate some corn things that were Heavenly. And we ate crocodile and Dirty Debris Gumbo. I've eating crap called "southern food" here in Nevada, but ain't nuthin' like the grub down there!

Thats exactly what Mikes people in NC say. People try to imitate cajun food, but they just know have the knack. :biggrin1:

When my parents make gumbo, its takes them a full 6 hours of work. Stirring, chopping, adding, stirring, boiling, adding, simmering, adding more, stirring, stirring, stirring....

You ate CROC????? OMG. I actually havent tried that.

Ive had alligator, but never crocodile. Was it good? Did it taste like "chicken"?

Maybe I ate alligator??? Is there a diff between alligator and crocodile? I know we ate one of them though, and I know I need to know the next time you're making real gumbo. I never liked gumbo till I hate that garbage in New Orleans (they call it debris gumbo.) Sooo good!

      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!!
