If I understand correctly, Funny simply volunteered to do the GFG Club just to give P'Nut a break. I never heard P'Nut complain or say she was going anywhere, I just think Funny just volunteered to be nice. It can be a lot of work to do all the stats every week.

Am I understanding correctly?!? P'Nut is still here, just not the one updating the stats & everything. :)

Hey there folks. I have to make an apology to you all, but I mostly have to apologize to Pnut. I made an error in judgement by creating this thread. This is Pnut's baby, and it was not my place to assume that she was not going to do it, or try to take on the duties for the month to give her a break. it was something that i needed to discuss with her first. I didn't. My heart was in the right place, but my head was not. I have been under a lot of stress and living on caffeine for the last 2.5 days, and was not thinking clearly. I am so sorry Susan. Truly I am. I could not replace you, not in a million years, and I never would have done something that i thought you would take offense to.

So y'all, I want you to know that I feel just awful that I made Pnut upset, and that I came across as replacing her. I have a feeling some others perceive this to be my intentions, and they would be wrong. I gladly hand this back over to Pnut, or whom ever she would like to have handle it. I am backing away. This place is consuming too much of my time, and now has messed up a very dear friendship that I once had. I will be away with my upcoming surgery, anyway.

Oy vey.....I seriously doubt that Susan has a problem with Funny starting the new thread for the July Gone For Good Club so that people can post their Wednesday weigh ins. They are, after all, good friends. I could be wrong, but it's just a feeling that I have.

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the Club was originally HeatherGurl's idea and P'Nut took on the challenge because Heather was unable to devote enough time to it due to her work/personal schedule.

Susan has done a great job with the challenges/threads but if she's in need of a break, I see nothing wrong with someone helping out until she returns.

Pnut has done a fantastic job!! I could never imagine trying to replace her. But she was hurt by this, and I feel really bad. She stated that she was taking a break from the challenge, but not from handling the upkeep of the threads. I assumed, and stepped in as a kind gesture only. Just to give her a break. That is all. But I did so without asking if she wanted me to. That was a bonehead move on my part. :)

Ok folks.. listen up. Funny did step in to help me out. She felt she was doing me a favor and I appreciate that. So this month's thread will be kept going as it was begun. Funny will update for us, and I would expect that she'll also be adding up the scorecards and announcing the winner of the June Challenge. :)

No biggie.

This isn't MY club. HeatherGurl and I started it so there would be a club that belonged to the club members, not just to the person with their name on the first post. And that's how it remains. I certainly don't want this to turn into a split group of people who gossip and point fingers at each other. It's seriously no big deal. As Kathy said, what difference does it make who posts what. The purpose of this club is not to glorify any one person. It's to provide support, encouragement, and love for the members. Funny was doing just that when she stepped in to lighten my load. That's what's important right? So shup now, and get back to those situps ya losers! *grins*

*hugs to all*

      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. 💗

      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.
