I live right on the coast, and we are being warned of flooding, and power outages....

Snow or no snow, this is a classic "nor easter", but a big one...like hurricanes in the summer, we get these in the winter....and they can carry a lot of moisture, and hurricane force winds...

I have my generator all ready to go...we were without power for 13 days with sandy....

I'm hoping I get the day off tomorrow....

B-

I will be thinking of you! I am well over an hour way from South Jersey, my fear is the power. We were without power for 10 days from Sandy. I am prepared as can be... Stay safe (hugs)

In Toronto..wondering if my flight to Jamaica is going to be delayed due to storm. Supposed to fly out at 10:30 this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes according to plan.

Should be fine....the storm is moving up the east coast and won't reach Boston till later in the day....

If it were me, I'd get to the islands and hope for storms so I could not get back Home......

Have a Red Stripe for me........

Stay safe folks up north. I remember Nor'easters well. Those were the only storms that scared me when I lived in Maryland. the February storms in Maryland were always memorable. Living in D.C. area, when they hit, the world ended! But, I remember a Feb. where D.C. area got over 22 inches at Washington's birthday! Hated Washington's birthday weekend storms! LOL! Best wishes, folks! Karen

This is exactly why we moved to the middle of the desert in Arizona. If we were still in New York, I would be stocking up on fresh baked bread and Cookies until the storm passed through...let me see...maybe 5 pounds added on the hips for this storm. Fortunately we are a little cooler than usual but sunny and we are going to Vegas baby!! Everybody on the East Coast stay in and keep safe.

18 inches and it's not supposed to stop for another 4 hours. I usually wait to start removal until my neighbors come out.

Just saw a report that my town got 24 inches. I don't know how they can say for sure, the wind is crazy and the drifts are so high.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
