Okay everyone, I have seen Wicked, the musical 5 times now, and can't wait to see it again. Lots of people I know are now addicted to it. So, anyone seen it? Any comments? I would love to hear about it.

I saw it when it first opened and loved it. I recommend you rent the Wizard of Oz before going to review the story, although most of us probably have the entire movie memorized.

Wonderful music.

My boss gave me tickets to see it on Broadway last year as a holiday bonus. I'd already memorized the score and was THRILLED to finally see it on stage. It's brilliant! I only wish I'd been able to see Idina Menzel as Elphaba, but it was wonderful nonetheless.

I wish they could get Peter Jackson to do the movie. :P

Well, I know that Idina Menzel was good, because she was the first, but I have to say my favorite Elphaba would have to be Stephanie Block. Who is now doing the lead in the Pirate Queen in Chicago before it hits Broadway. I had the chance to see the original cast in New York right after it opened, but the people I was with thought it sounded stupid, so we didn't go. GRRRRRRR. I should have gone by myself. Anyway, I love the musical so much more than the book, of course, I only listen to audio books, but it's the same. The book was too dark I think. I love how they work so many remarks in from the Wizard of Oz. It is just totally hillarious. You're laughing one minute, then crying the next. So, any favorite actors or actresses from Wicked?

Hi Hunny! I see you live in Chicago, huh? Sounds like I will have to come up there some day and take you to see it. It is incredible! I know you would love it. Have you seen many musicals? I am a piano player, and I have the music to Wicked, and I love to play it.

So Hunny, what's your story? Tell us about you.

      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!!
