Yoda's Jedi Journals (aka Yoda's Yammerin's)

[Yoda 0]

Yeah, I got a lot done this weekend too! No time to relax at all! I have a couple of hours now to do just that, so I am off to do so....then another work week *sigh*.

I have a dr. appt tomorrow with the specialist doc who recommended me for this surgery....I can't wait to see him and tell him THANK YOU and tell him "so far, so good".

So, yesterday was my weekly weigh in day (and monthly measurement day). Here is an update on my progress (which is also what I'll tell that doc; I actually have a printout all ready for him!).

Even though I had my surgery 21 Apr, I count my "stats" from 7 Apr (which is when I started my pre-op diet). So, in 20 weeks:

Lost: 44 lbs

Lost: 26.75 inches (this is a total of measuring chest, waist, hips, right thigh, right calf, right bicep)

BMI: went from 45.5 to 38

I am now "only" obese and not "extremely obese!!!

A nice side effect.....Mr Yoda (who is not banded) has lost 25 lbs and 16 inches over the last 20 weeks!!!!

I'm happy!

So, I like to think of myself as a PB Virgin. Not so sure I am but I don't think there is anything as a 1/2 way virgin is there?! LOL. I "think" I've had one or 2 PBs but if so, they were pretty minor compared to what I've read about....so no complainin' from my end! I have had (twice) severe pain but it was SUPER short-lived....so again, no complaining. The second time I had it....I was already finished supper and was "full"....but then I ate my chewable Vitamin and that set me off! LOL. I guess I didn't even have room in there for THAT!?

I have also had the "slimes" about 3 times since Fri. But again...not near as bad as what I've seen described on the other threads. The first one happened on Fri a couple of hrs after my fill. I was in the car (Mr. Yoda was driving) and I was sipping Water. It started to come back up sorta and my mouth kept filling with Water (slime). We were at a red light (no other cars around) so I opened my window with the intent of spitting (I had no kleenex - not that kleenex would have been sufficient!). As Mr. Yoda called me his "Dainty Flower" I spit out the window...and MUCH to my shock and dismay, all the slime came flying back at me ...hit me in the arm and oozed all down the interior side of the door. UUUUUUGH. Did I mention I had no kleenex??!! GRRRROS man.....it was all thick and slimey alright; obviously something more than just the water I swallowed. Thank god Mr. Yoda loves me!!! LOL. Ah welll, what's a lil' slime between soulmates?!!!!

Overall though, still no real complaints regarding PBing or sliming!

OMG... that's too funny. That'll teach you to not spit slime from moving vehicles! I've now started making sure I have an empty drink cup of some kind in my 'console'.

Oh, I can see it now...your cup will be half full; Dan will be driving the car and he'll feel a tad bit dry and reach for a sip of your "leftover" drink and swallow some of your sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

It's all fun & games until someone drinks some slime!!!!

(psssst, the car wasn't movin' it was stopped at a light...but I guess it was a wee bit windy ou!!).

:biggrin1:

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gooooooooooooooooood,

we have just stooped to a new lower level. I feel sick now:sick.......all this talk about slime is making me want to SLIME!!

[Yoda 0]

oh no waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay man...NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING can stoop to as low a level as Argon's thread on the ol' poop shoot!!!! (not in the Canuck forum but in one of the general ones). You DO NOT want to go to THAT one let me tell ya. The photos gave me night terrors for weeks on end!!!!!

*nods* you know what I'm talking about Argon!!!!! AVOID all poop shoot related threads (of course they were referred to as "colon cleansing")...

eeeeeeeeeew I get the jitters just thinking about those pics.

BLECH..;

:omg: :omg:

[CLOE 0]

:laugh what in heavens name are you talking about...lol but your probably right I dont want to know:lalala:

Yoda,that is so gross about drinking the slime. i can picture someone drinking from that cup.YUCK

[argon 3]

Oh you... I wouldn't keep a slime cup in the car! If I use it, it'll get replaced!

Now, about the colon cleansing... I just *inquired* whether any one had ever tried any of the products marketed for that... it got gross, it got interesting, and it got contraversial :huggie: ... Yoda just can't handle it! LOL

You brought it up, Yoda-pie, you better hope nobody here wants to start talkin' about it!!
