I just wanted to let everyone know that Leona is having her senior recital :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: in NYC at Juilliard on April 8 at 8:30PM. That is a Saturday night. I am going of course and have a couple of seats in my van still available if anyone would like to go. I will be leaving Sat morn and coming back on Sunday. I have reservations at a hotel in Jersey for $100.00 a night and that cost will be split by the amount of people in each room. ( two double beds each) food can be any price depending on where you eat. There are cheap hot dog stand to expense full course restaurants. BTW Greyhound has some really good internet prices too. Let me know if you are interested. :)

The recital is free. It's the other stuff you want to do in NYC that will cost. I do not have a full agenda sent up but I know I will be leaving in the morning on Sat about 8AM. Should get to NYC around 1-2 PM depending on traffic. We will stop at Cracker Barrel for Breakfast. I have to pick up a lady in Philly. Then coming home sometime Sun afternoon/evening. Things depend on the weather and what everone wants to do. It is not fun if it is cold and raining. One of the ladies is coming back early Sun because her daugher is in a concert in DC Sunday afternoon. It about 200 miles to NYC and with the cost of tolls and gas it is about $75.00 if you get 20 MPG. I have the EZpass which make it easy to get thur the tolls. The hotel is in Jersey with an express bus stop across the street. We might want to get half price tickets to a Broadway show. I will send you an email.

      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!!
