The smell of fresh cut grass.

The sound my cat makes when she is totally contented and purring.

I love the way a rose petal feels.

Oh and the smell of coffee when you first open that can up and it makes that little hissy sound...

whiskers of my kitten? Well, that would include the smell of wet cedar, High thread count cotton sheets, fresh from the dryer, my son's wacky sense of humor, and the way my DH looks at me when I look at him.

Mandy, I don't know what made me smile more, that awesome compliment or waking up to your lil one. I actually did find TWO Fountains of Youth! One is my Sweet Cherry Pie (my new Harley) and well, let's just say Slumber Parties keeps me glowing!

Which brings me to... a five minute toe-curler!

coffee? ?? in a *gasp* Can??? Who could do a thing like that!!! Coffee ground in your coffee grinder smells good!!! ( Darn those Seattle Coffee Snobs)

Lots of cold rain on a dark morning when you can sleep deep under northern nights flannel sheets and down comfortors while the sound of rain tinkling down the rain spout clinkles and drips and your automatic coffee maker starts perking and sending the SSMMMEEELLLL of fresh brew down the dark hallway calling your name as you think it over a while before getting up. (I love my WelbutrinXR)

Victoriana, you make me smile. :) Thank you!

I love a beautiful sunset. I love seeing my family all together and laughing. My brother's face when he looks in the face of an infant. Singing with my sister. Listening to my children talk when they don't know I'm listening. :biggrin1:

You mean to tell me that coffee can come from somewhere other than a drive-thru? I would be lost without Star Bucks and Java Joes. Tell me more about this home-brewed coffee that you speak of...Mandy

Wake up everyone, the dark is gone.

Mandy, haven't you seen the new coffee in a can that heats itself up? I can't remember if it's Wolfgang Puck or maybe Seattle's Best (but I do remember it's a famous name brand.) It's a single serving can that has this odd contraption built right in. You pop the seal and wait 5 minutes, and you've got a steamy cup of latte' or capucino. I was leary but just had to try one, and it was pretty darn good, and the can really did get real hot! So there's a coffee in a can that you'll love!

I tried one of those self heating coffee cans. They weren't bad at all.

We order coffee from a roaster near San Fransisco. He literally roasts the Beans, bags 'em up and ships them to me overnight. When a box of that arrives at the office, the whole place smells like coffee before we ever open it up.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A light shower? I haven't been riding long enough to catch much rain, but when it did start pouring everyone ran for shelter but me. I rode down the street getting soaking wet laughing my pants off! That was so damn fun! Let it rain, let it rain.

Another favorite thing is waking up with Piglet's face tucked into me. That's my girly Pitbull who sleeps on my pillow. She snuggles in so tight and snores in my ear all night, but sometimes I wake up with her face sleeping in the palm of my hand.

Sitting in the garden room with my gray striped cat on the back of the chair, purrrrrrrring..

Sitting on the deck in the sun in January.

Watching the pattern of lights on the ceiling at Christmas time... the old style twinkle lights put on quite a show.

Dear Pierced,, Some of us po folk have to resort to home brew, I don't think its called moonshine though, not in this region. It's strangely easy, Hot Water, drip filters, n, gravity and um well, it happens when I'm half asleep...lol

I absolutely love babies and children, young teens and all the crazed times in between.

Letha g, your brothers face, and children when they don't know your listening,

Vines, your sons humor

Minnie me, the dark is gone now..How precious is that?

Children are indeed my most favorite thing. There isn't a rotten one in the whole wide world. Each one such a mystery and treasure. God bless them. and may his face shine upon them!!

Sometimes I think God has a great big bed covered in a huge down comforter, that is where he keeps the blessing of children alive.

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
