3loves - love that mower.

Two weeks from Friday I will be riding a 2007 Road King custom 96 ci 6 speed. Can't wait...

Congrats on your new Harley. Be sure to post pics. What color? We drove by a Harley (could not begin to tell you what it was) yesterday and I told my DH that I would like to have one someday. There are a lot of bikes here in IN and they have a big convention in Fort Wayne every year. I guess that will have to wait till my kids are older and we have more $$. :phanvan

Poster Child ~ Love the Boxster!!

I love seeing all these rides....it gives me a chance to dream. :)

Since the motorcycle is in North Dakota and I am in Malawi Africa, a friend went and took this photo for me. I will send a side shot next week when I get home. BTW - this is the 11th HD I have owned in the past 26 years.

Absolutely BEAUUUUTIFUL!!! Now I know why you are called the "Road Queen". Do you get new bikes every couple of years?

I have a gorgeous, white, Mercedes E430...

Ck0EGN35PVIlR6mVCCxEWVacxp9l.jpg

I've driven Mercedes since I was in my early 20's. I worked in Florida with this girl at a restaurant. She drove a BMW. We were both just out of college. I said, "How the heck do you afford a BMW?" She looked me square in the eye, and said, "If you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything". That statement by her made me so determined. I bought my first mercedes, a pre-owned black beauty, for $15K a year later. Then, I was telling the story to a mututal friend. Telling my friend how this girl's determination and perserverence had lit a fire under me and motivated me. And my friend said, "She sleeps with the manager. He bought it for her" !!!!! Stupid me. I was thinking she was giving me advice on how to save money....

      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.
