Gone for Good Club - May 2006



Recommended Posts

i feel like crap with a capital SH. I went to the doc's office again today, cause the pain pills aren't killing the pain any longer, and I can't swallow again. I went in, and they took blood. they are going to see what they find with that. the guy was kind of a jerk. "i want you to come back and see me next week. We will not do surgery for this cause it does not warrant it. But if your white count is high I am gonna admit you. If you are not better tomorrow I am going to admit you. If you show any signs of dehydration in your blood draw, i am gonna admit you."

BUT NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE HELL I HAVE!!!

And they refuse to give me anything that is going to kill the pain. They sent me home with percoset. They gave me morphine in the hospital. This stuff numbs my body and my brain, but it does nothing for my throat. the pain will not go away.

ok. i am done bitching. i feel like such a wuss. but this is just killing me.

Ok, listen up everyone who wants to be in the June Challenge...

Complete your Spring scorecards and get your amounts tallies on the scorecard only. I'm going to go through them, and might recruit Tricia K to help me, to verify the totals you came up with. After we feel sure that everyone has completed the cards and we have verified the totals, I'll announce the winner. This might take until Friday, so please be patient.

As for the June challenge. Tonight, after everyone has weighed in for the normal GFG weekly weigh in, I'll be starting the June GFG Club thread. I will start it just like I did this month's thread, with the Members Page, the Honors Page, the Challenge Rules, and a blank Score card for June.

The first day of the June Challenge scorecards will be today, May 31st. So you will get to count any exercise you did today on the Spring Challenge Scorecard as well as the June Challenge scorecard. I did this so we could keep in line with the Wednesday weigh ins.

Please dont post your totals anywhere but on your scorecards. And there's no point in giving me your starting weight for June. Just wait until the June thread starts and you can put all of your info on your own card.

I will close out this thread with a link to the June GFG Club thread (like I usually do) and then you can copy and paste a scorecard and get it started just like you did for the Spring Challenge.

Make sense? I hope so! :)

H 240 C 194 (-6 this week)

4 more lbs before I hit 50lb mark! :)

Just to let everyone know, the sauna suit works very well for me. I have bought my 5th one to date since surgery b/c the elastic dies out after a few washes. When I run on the treadmill or bike with my suit on , (I never wear the top and bottoms together, always separately for fear of dehydration) I drop 2 - 3lbs. Alot of it is Water weight but somehow it all stays off. I lose inches like crazy. When I finish biking, about 2 lbs or more of water spills out of my pants legs and drips out of my sleeves.

P.S., if you do decide to buy one, you can find them in the sporting goods section at Wal-Mart and they are $6.99, comes in small/large large/xl xl/xxl. Remember to drink lots and lots of water prior to wearing this suit and drink water afterwards to ensure hydration. If you don't like the feeling of sweat and stickiness or having a hefty bag feeling then this suit is not for you.

Ok, long lost Terri is trying to come back!!!!!!!!! I haven't got on or near a scale so I can't update my info. But It is so funny to read about the sauna suit. I just bought one and I have it on right know. I just got off my bike and I am sweating like a STUCK PIG! and I probably smell like one too!LOL I look like a fat lady in a large black garbage bag! :)

Well I just wanted to stop in and say Hi! I need to go take a shower and then I'm off again. My great neice has a ball game tonight!!

Loves to all and happy losing!

      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!!
