Maria's Memo



Recommended Posts

I guess, i do not like talking about myself, i am not very interesting, i have a boring life i guess.

I go to work, come home cook supper, get on the computer, go bed, next day do the same old thing all over again. Boring right.:(

Oh, I don't believe that! I'm sure you have stuff to tell!

What did you eat today? How's eating going for you? How much can you eat at a time?

I don't *really* measure... but I know it's not much. I went to subway for lunch, and soooo badly wanted a sub, but I got a 'deli sandwich', with ham, cheese, lettuce, Tomato, pickles... and honey dijon. I was amazed I could eat almost half. I stopped, mostly because I was 'stuck. At least I have lunch for tomorrow! yuck!

Irish Mist

You can't be boring, you chose a handle of a very great tasting liqueur. I try to stay away from it cause it's loaded with sugar. You can have it on the rocks, straight up or in an Irish coffee.

Recipe for Irish Coffee

1 once of Irish Whiskey

1 once of Irish Mist

coffee

Whip Cream

Try it, it will keep you happy and the leprechauns around.

Tell us are you Irish? Do you like the Irish, do you love the Irish? Tell us, is there a reason you chose this handle?

There is so much you could tell us.

I'm waiting.................

I thought Irish Mist was the soap.... hmm...

My parents (or more-so my dad) used to make a big deal out of every holiday.. On St. Patricks Day, I'd leave out green foods for the leprechauns, and one year, Sean the Leprechaun left me a thank you letter!! :omg:

Hi Wheezy, I wanted Irishrose as my handle, irish because i am irish of course, and Rose because that was my mom's name, but it was already taken, so i went with the next best thing.

I have to say although i have been told Irishmist is a great tasting liqueur, i have giving it as gifts often enough. Myself i have never tasted it, i dont drink ( told you i was boring):couch2:.LOL

I love it that i am Irish.:)

Hey Irishmist, your own thread, WTG, I love it, marias memo, thats great!!

YOU ARE NOT BORING!!! We are gonna drag it out of you, yet. Boring people don't get lapbands. what do you do at work? do you have kids? do you have pets? do you have siblings? I know, I know I bet you drive a red convertable corvette, right?

You don't have to answer, I'm just being dumb. But if you wanna, then I wanna know!! lol

Maria, does your band hold 10 cc's then, I noticed you had 4cc's fill. Do you fell stuck sometimes, still?

Do you mind me asking who did your fill?

Of course not Cloe i do not mind you asking. I wish i did have a red convertible

I have two daughter's and four grandson's (would love a granddaughter) but nothing seems to be happening in that department, although my youngest daughter would love another child, but is having a hard time getting pregnant.

My husband and i just celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary.:love:

I did have pets, i had two cats but the last one Tiger had a stroke in March and never returned home from the vet's (and i still miss him).:think

Yes the band holds 10 cc's, and Dr.Cobourn did my fill, you know i have never had a stuck feeling yet, or slimed ( i hope i never do), i don't think it is something i would like to experience.

WHAT, you have never been stuck!! I need you to come to my house, you need to slap me up side the back of my head every bite to remind me to go slow. You are my inspiration!!! I am going to think of you every meal. Every day I don't feel stuck all day, I'm gonna let you know. (don't wait by the computer).

"40" YEARS!!!! WOW!!! Fantastic!! My husband and I will be married 17 1/2 years. Time does fly by dosent it.

I'm sorry about Tiger.

Man, I can't believe you have never been stuck, not even like tight going down, nothing?

      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!!
