It makes me want to run out and cook myself in the soleil!!!:D

I got a super short haircut at lunch and it looks like i lost 10 pounds and i might, just might get another tattoo on Saturday :guess

I feel light and happy it's so awesome to have hope for the future

Glad to see you with such a happy spirit today Chantal... let me sit next to you for awhile and perhaps some of it will magically improve my attitude! Sunshine can really do wonders can't it? Rain... Rain... and more rain here. Blow some of that happy sparkle dust towards Wisconsin if you get a chance!

I have a big cartoon turtle on the whole top of my foot,he has at least 8 colors from light&dark green,yellows and whites. I also have a black work bird on the inside of my wrist.That one is my own design,the wing is up, kinda shy like and the only color is his bright blue eye.

I didn't get a chance to go in for my next one but it will be an opened zipper on the back of my calf.The zipper will be bursting with flowers,hearts and things,to soften the harshness of the zipper.

I always said i would get just one but i changed my mind and now want the zipper and orange bubbles for the turtle as well as

a symbol on the back of my neck and the other wrist with something with alot of color.

You're funny!!:D

It doesn't hurt at all!I've had two C-sections and this lap surgery

and the pain is not the same.

When they're doing the tattoo they have to stop about every three to five seconds to wipe so they can see where they are at,it gives you a break so it's not continuous.

My mother's b-day is before my and my twin so the three of us went out for a girlie day last year.My Mom got a pretty hummingbird on her shoulder(her first)and my twin got a butterfly on her wrist(her first too)now they both want more as well:p

I'm such a bad influence!!:guess

Well Chantal... let's see how I handle the ole cut me open and band me pain... I see myself being a big ole crabby a$$ baby.:nervous BUT ... maybe I will surprise myself! I've really only had one surgery in my life... that was on my wrist to have a cyst removed. And... I appear calm when I see a needle coming at me... but I'm a nervous squishy ball of nerves on the inside! We'll see... maybe when I hit the 50lb down mark. (o: I think my conservative hubby would birth a bird if I did....hehehehehe. Hmmm... maybe you are a bad influence!

      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!!
