Seems that while I was at work, peace has been restored to the kingdom.

And they all lived happily ever after...

Dody, 3loves?, DeLarla (again), Lisa Bones (again), Fitter, and Photonut. That's all I know of, correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit...don't want to start rumors. :rolleyes:

I'm a newbie. I don't know all these people. I recognize some of the names and styles of writing. So it's interesting to go back, catch up and try to figure out what the heck is going on.

Of course I haven't been able to. But that doesn't stop me from being entertained!:heh:

I think this thread is useful. I've been spending a lot of time trying to read everything I can find that will help me in my Quest for sanity regarding LB surgery. I've been tugged every which way. I'm up, then down, then up, then down... then sideways!

But coming here has put the humor back in the entire proposition of LBT. It was a welcomed relief for me. I can't imagine why anyone would get so serious about exchanging ideas, experiences - both good and bad, or just relating to each other in general. Everyone knows you can type anything. Doesn't have to be real, can be a joke, can be put here to irritate, whatever. Why take it all this seriously anyway? Why not just have fun - RANTING and RAVING about anything and everything? :nervous

Does this have anything to do with hormones???? :phanvan Crap. That dumb comment sounds like something my DH would have said. Right before I smacked him.:faint:

Yea Telly!!!!! I finally made someone laugh! I'm pretty proud. Ok, ok, I know... don't get all silly over it.:rolleyes

But since we're talkin' Telly, you're about my height and Lord girl, you have a fine torso!! You're definitely an inspiration. Don't know if I'd have the nerve to get a tat there, but it dang sure works for you! Congrats! :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure when you're banned you stop being able to eat as much.

Very good, BJean! Spoken like a true smart-ass!

Hey, thanks. :rolleyes: No one has ever said thta I had a fine torso. How funky cool.

I hated the scar so the tat had to come into play. I will be getting a much bigger one soon.. wrapped around my belly so I think I'm getting into the pain, lol.

Telly - Not to get too personal, but is Telly really your name?

I know an OB/GYN in L.A. whose name is Telly. She pronounces it tally. And I have a close friend in Orlando whose name is Thellie. She pronounces it Thally. And now if you say it's not your name I'm going to feel silly.

I cannot imagine the pain of a torso tat - especially all around the world, or the circumfrence thereof. I have chickened out every time I've considered just getting a little symbol of some sort on my skin, somewhere, where it wouldn't hurt too much.

My boy got one all the way around his upper arm and said it hurt so much he had to feign needing to take a whiz several times during the process.:cry Wuss. I also fear infection, which reminds me, don't you have to be especially careful with the Band? I was told I'd even have to take antibiotics when I have my teeth cleaned. Am I making this up? I'm pretty sure that's what they said.:straight

      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!!
