It's funny (and annoying) how that whole sizing thing works. It even works with shoes. I take anywhere from a 10 to an 11 depending on the shoe and who made it. If it was made in China then Green can fuggedaboutit. They make the smallest size 11 I have ever tried to squash my foot in. I would never dare order pants out of a catelogue. I have to try those on.

LOL.... That reminds me of my friend, she went to China to teach for a few months. She is a size 13/14. Which is probably the Canadian average. Everytime she went out to shops the chinese women who'd laugh and stare and call her fat. Can you imagine!!

Yeah, that's crazy... I can't imagine anyone doing things like that. What a spectacle we'd be, being so much bigger that that.

Now this is not for children's ears, put them to bed or send them in another room!!!!

I have a friend who's niece worked in China. Her niece met an American in China. He was 6ft 200lbs man. Because her niece could not ask her mother she asked my friend to buy condoms for her and ship them to China. They could not find a size large enough in China. He was not a fat man.

They just don't make things big enough in China.!!!!

Oh yeah, good for the niece!!!! Lol

Yah, It's true. A gay friend of mine who has been around (what gay guy hasn't?) told me that they are petite.

LOL, ok... I'm stayin' out of the whole asian penis thing!

I'm in HELL!

1) band's too tight, in general, as you already know

2) period

3) a cold!

I'm thinking perhaps the combination of the last 2 problems are making the first one worse.

Today... hmm... what did I eat?

tea, coffee, a chunk of cheese, half a banana, a bowl of popcorn... and that's it so far. I'm trying to take it easy, cause the last truly 'solid' things I ate made me PB (I guess, but I still don't know if it's PBing)... and I'm trying to 'rest' ma belly.

I have been drinking my aloe vera juice off and on. *someone* led me to believe it was awwwwful. Maybe that someone got a bad batch or something, cause it isn't bad. I was expecting it to be thick, but its almost watery, so I add it to a little Water, and it just tastes like weird water.

2 more days until my weigh in ... better be good. But then again, problem #2 may make it not so good... we'll see.

Dan's leavin' me early Wed morning... to go to Ottawa for the animation festival.

WOO! LOL

talk to you kids later!

Thank you :)

Nope, I've never been to Ottawa, but I'd like to!

I have some Lipton chicken Noodle in my cupboard... and now you've got me craving it!

The aloe vera juice is supposed to soothe irritated stomachs.... I guess. I got mine at Walmart... I think it was about $7-9 for a bottle.

Sooooo... I went to the doctor today, cause I felt the chest cough coming on , and it felt much like my last bout of brochitis. I didn't want to wait til I was coughing my guts out every night, and can't afford to feel so crappy at work. He did some listening, and throat looking, took my temperature, and gave me a prescription for some antibiotics and codeine cough Syrup. Never confirmed that it was bronchitis, and rushed me out of there, but that's ok... I just hope it kicks in and starts doing the trick soon.

I'm weighing in tomorrow morning. Eeeek!

Talk to you guys later!

Mandi

      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.
