Went to 'Panic at the Disco'. Well, I actually didnt go in but we had a good night. Found out the Collisium is a the exhibition grounds in Toronto. My friend and I dropped the kids off and went shopping downtown and out for dinner. It was fun, and the kids had fun.

Well, don't laugh green. I truly do feel like a bumpkin when I hit downtown Toronto. Anyway, dropped the kids off at the concert, and went down King St. towards spadina. We saw sooooo many cool shops, and we wanted sooooooooooo badly to go in, but we were scared of crack-heads and prostitudes and stuff (it was really dark, stop laughing). Anyway, we saw a winners and decided that it would be safe, so we parked in a lot, took 4 tries to figure out the pay-machine ticket thing. Then after winners we walked around the corner to a 'shoeless joes', ate dinner and watched the leafs game. That is about adventurous as I get, I would love to do more but I would need a tour guide, cause I'm tooo scared. Pathetic, I know:)

Aw, kiddy, I am so not laughing! I have had the same feelings my very own self. Being on the road and in a strange city ain't that easy. Toronto only seems simple to me because it's my crib.

I've done a lot of travelling overseas in places where I have wished that I didn't need to eat or have a bladder.:) Life can get scary when you are away from home. Trust me, the Green girl knows. :eek: (She's been around if ya know what I mean.....)

Hey Cloe....as long as you had fun, and that is all that mattes.

Green: oh boy, can I relate....we should swap stories sometimes. Picture me alone in places such as Amsterdam (I got mugged), Columbia (yes, partying along with the drug cartels....I was escorted by armed guards off the "streets" that I wandered into towards a "safer" area), Berlin (getting off at the wrong train stop and wandering the bus depot freakin' out of my mind)....oh..sometimes I wonder how I got out of some situations intact. But, looking back now...of course they are all awesome memories that I wouldn't trade for the world. (but I would never let any kid of mine do what I did....at least not by themselves....I think I was just lucky!).

      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!!
