Hey Heather,

Thanks for taking on the GFGC!

Somehow my updated stats for last week didn't make it to this thread so here they are:

LindaV - H 315/ J 299/ G 170/ C 258 (-56 lbs total)

It's ok if you don't update them till next week when I post my weekly update. Could you put me on the honors page then too?

Thanks again!

So, I'm sitting here drinking diet snapple, bagel chips and some wonderfully delish cream spread. :faint: Now I know why my scales are fickle. They're not. I am.

;) Somebody shoot me.

I feel you stitchy. I just came back from the store, where I bought my mom her beloved Starbucks Ice Cream Mud Pies. I'm telling you, I'm not a fan of ice cream...but I made the mistake of eating one of these the other day...bad idea. OMG they were so good! So I told myself I wouldn't eat one, but then ate stuff adding up to 440 calories instead. Someone shoot me!

I am about to watch this movie. I have to see it once per month. The acting is superb. I'm a perve b/c I especially love the "tucking" and "dancing" scene. It's hilarious.

Hi Everyone...

I just read over some of the posts on the other threads from the last couple of days. All I thought was..."where's a thread killer when you need one"? Anyway, I'm glad the smoke seems to be clearing. We're all still left with the hard work it takes to make our bands work for us.

Speaking of which, Heather, thanks for taking on the task of running our club.

Dawg...I hope you don't desert us. We really like you and your posts.

Stitchy....two pounds up? I HATE THAT. Especially when you didn't do anything to cause it. It can all come down to a salty cup of broth or some simple thing like that. If you were reading all the same posts I was in the rants and raves section, you probably started retaining Water immediately. Edit: Just read your bagel chips and cheese spread post...Hmmmmmm. As Telly said: "Choices...choices...choices."

As for me, I had a good weekend. I made it through the big dinner party by leaving and running up the hill to my home and heating up some awesome bean Soup DH made for me. I then returned to the party and no one was the wiser. As for the Bar B Que today....I went and took Stitchy's advice and put my Soup in a mug and again.....no one noticed I wasn't eating. I just moved from table to table with my mug, sipping away. It wasn't easy avoiding all that fabulous food, though. I miss it. Waaannnnnh.

Hang in the GFG-ers. We shall prevail.

Lyn

Okay guys, I haven't been here for awhile...

I'm not really feelin' the love anymore. Heather, I think it's great that you're taking on the GFG club in P'Nut's absence. :) With all the craziness that has happened & then how it ended - it just isn't the same on this board. When the last person was banned, it really made a big difference. She was so motivating & a great cheerleader to everyone. Are you all just kinda pushing yourself forward & putting on the happy face or am I am the only one who feels this way?

Funnyduddies is gone too & I've noticed that there's a lot who aren't posting anymore. Maybe it will take some time...

I don't know. Just thought I would post my feelings. :straight

I'm feeling that way, too Diane. And one of our banned is being ressurected as we speak in her "daughter" whose posts get uglier by the minute. It appears it isn't over. ??? SIGH. I'm hanging in there, but have lost the love for a bit, I'm sure. I'll do my best and will post my weight each Wed.

I have left many of the other threads, too. There are just a couple that I am sticking around for. Like this one, the before and after photos, and my May bandsters thread. It's not the same, but at least they aren't being nasty. However, I am hoping that those that left on their own will return. I miss them.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
