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

On a happier note, here is Yoda's Yuk Yuk:

Mrs. Mandi was famous for her Boston Bean Soup. When her secret was asked for, she replied that used only 239 Beans. The reporter queried, "how come only 239?" Mrs. Mandi replied, "cause one more would make it too farty."

i totally understand, because either way it would devistate me, if she didnt see it, or she was shocked at the #s

on the other hand, you know she's very self centred, so why not just let it go? I bet your dh sees a difference!

awww Yoda.... that would be disappointing. I can only imagine what people will do to me when I see 'em! Don't you worry... next time you see her, and the time after that, you're gonna keep looking better and better. She'll be asking YOU how to get in shape.

Nice joke :confused: LOL

Yep, I understand. If you have to point out your weight loss to her it is like you haven't lost an ounce and that is real depressing. She is obviously one of those very self-absorbed individuals.

Nice joke, Yoda!!

My hubby told me one yesterday, hopefully I can remember it.....

*When a man is bald at the front of his head, it means he's a thinker. When a man is bald at the top of his head, it means he is good in bed. When a man is bald all over his head, it means he just thinks he's good in bed!!

My husband is bald, so it was very funny. Save that one for your bald friends!!

I loved your Yuk Yuk Yoda.

Your's too Cloe, I guess that is why my husband is still GOOD at 63, I will have to tell him it is because he is bald on the top of his head.:confused: :eyebrows:

Maria:D

My husband still has a full head of hair so maybe I shouldn't be say this but bald men are more virile. This is true. They have more male hormones and it is those hormones which cause a man to lose his hair. Those baldies can really perform! lol

Love the jokes. Speaking of hair.....

We have a barber's kit so a few month ago, my husband asked me to give him a hair cut. It's really simple, I put on a number 4 on the shaver and shave his head. He ends up with about 1/4 inch of hair. We had just had a nice supper and a few glasses of wine. I put on the number 4 and away I go. I take off the number 4 and do the trimming around his neck and his ears. Then I lost my head!!!! I decide to do his head again forgetting that I took off the number 4. I immediately gasped, he had one streak across his head completely bald, shaved to the skin!!!! I panicked and said, I can fix it, I put on the #3 and tried again, not good, put on the number 2, and tried again. My husband said, "That looks OK, I'll go take a shower and it will be fine". After his shower, every time I walked by him there was this bald streak across his head staring at me. I ended up shaving his head completely bald to hide my mistake. I literally cried, I was so upset for him. He just said "Get over it, it's only hair". For about a month every time I would catch him taking a look in the mirror, I would hear him say "Holy cow I really have no hair!!" Thank the Lord that men aren't obsessed about their hair like we are.

Moral of the story-Pay attention

-Don't have wine before giving someone a hair cut

That brought back a memory Wheezy....about 2 yrs ago...I pretty much did the same thing. It looked so easy when my hairdresser did it; I though....maaaan, how hard can it be? Plus we figured we would save 10 bucks for his cut (which he only got every 8 weeks or so) (WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!). So, we bought the kit (which would have paid for his haircuts for a year anyways!)....I tried it once...DISASTER. Needless to say the kit now sits in the basement somewhere not being used...and we happily go to my hairdresser. I was too appalled to tell her what we had done. And....who was I trying to save 10 bucks???? He's worth it!!!

LOL

Yoda, cut your toenails, remove nail polish, trim fingernails, get a haircut, tweeze your eyebrows, shave your legs, and hold your breath. I bet you'll hit the "50" mark then.....:P . Ha, Ha, really, I'm not insinuating that you have gorilla legs:heh: .

When a man has his hair shaved so close to his head that he looks like he is totally bald...well, Green thinks that that is a very sexy look.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      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.
