Texarkana Bandsters



Recommended Posts

The next TXARKA meeting is on the 14th. Man am I stressed, I had to leave work early today and get Gus to the doc. He has the beginning of pneumonia and I'm glad I took him. Doc said he should be feeling better by Wednesday, if not bring him back in.

I'm so stressed I can hardly get liquids to go down today! Geez!

Shannon, sorry you are so stressed. I know what that means. I'm dealing with that myself. lol Hope Gus gets to feeling better soon. That's hard on a little guy to be sick and it so warm outside.

Glo.... I guess the diet is ok. It sounds like a sensable diet to me. Really, it's kinda just getting back to the basics. And I think it's mostly for bypass patients, but it might work fine for us too. I might just try it myself. Of course the liquid phase is not gonna fun.

The recipes look good. I might try some of them. NOT. I try my best not to cook.

I jogged and walked for lunch. At home I walked and stayed outside. I don't remember slimfast being so sweet. It is soooo sweet until I don't want anything that resembles sugar in any form. Now mind you this is today, tomorrow I could be tripping. I'm not even hungry. I'm getting my Water in too. Look, I don't mean to be tooting my horn, but I am proud of myself. I feel like I might can do this. I also talked to God and asked for a lot of help with this. Sorry if I'm getting on anyone's nerve. I don't know what I'll do tomorrow because of rain, I guess I'll have to improvise.

You can do it Glo! Don't worry bout tooting your own horn. That is what this is all about. The down side and the up side. Hills and valleys. You know bout those. I think I'm half way up the mountain. lol

Thanks Lisa.

Great for your success as well. Climbing toward the mountains is great, it's just down in the valleys that suck.

Lisa, when I saw you the first time you looked great and the last time I saw you, you were looking even greater. I know my grammer sucks.:thumbs_up:

Susan, I know that you are doing great. I haven't seen you in a while. Maybe when it gets warm I'll come back to a mtg with LouAnn and we can talk.

I know Lisa, Stay in the box.

Oh, My gosh, Lisa and Susan, I just looked at your weight loss and how many (less) you both have to go. Congratulations:thumbup:

Susan, I had the boat ready so I could get to school, but wouldn't you know it, the rain stopped, but not before it made our backyard a pond.

Sun is sort of shining here in Daingerfield now. I think that they said that the rain would be back.

Lisa, my box floated away also. After school, I'll shopping for another one, but in the meantime I'm drinking my slimfast. I really forgot how much I hate that drink, but the memories are coming back, arrgh!!!!!!!!

I have a friend that has a 5" rain gauge and she said it was running over this morning. There is Water over the road in many places, and two underpasses were closed this a.m., early. When I left to go to town this morning about 7:00 it was pouring, couldn't tell the difference where the road started and the ditch ended. The weatherman says it is supposed to be worse tomorrow! Better get the oars out. We can't hold any more water here in Arkansas. Take care and be careful.

Lo2us, how's little Gus? I know you are exhausted, no fun having a sick toddler. Hope he gets better quickly.

Sugarbear, I heard that you all got a lot of rain. Arkansas has really had some awful weather lately as well as Oklahoma. We have truly been blessed here in East Tx. I like your snail,it seems appropriate for me and my weight loss. :rolleyes:

Lo2us, hope your son feels better soon. :redface:

Our rain gauge said 4" this morning. The bus Tanner would be riding, (if he were riding) drowned out down the road from us. We were kinda trapped for a while. Randy said the spot where the bus drowned out was VERY deep. He went across about 5 this morning. Up the road from our house, the Water was over the road in three places. It's about 1 1/2 miles to the FM road to town. Tanner had an appointment with his optometrist this morning at 8:30, so we were playing in the water. I sometimes wish I had a 4 wheel drive truck when it does this stuff. Sure would feel much safer in it rather than that little Malibu I have. lol Oh, and my dirt pile..... not a pretty site this morning. lol It's spread out in places I didn't want it to be. I guess that's were it needs to be anyway. Water runs to the low spots anyway.

My box floated down river. If yall find it in Texarkana, please send it back. I need it in the worse way. It was getting holes in it but it did help some. I think I'm gonna ask for a slight unfill when I go back. I'm not losing. Before I went back to this last time I had lost pretty well. Of course I always gain some before I go back. (I wonder why that is?) THAT 6 POUNDS IS NOT GOING AWAY. I WANT A NEW BOX! Never mind about sending the old one back.

Sugar B...... three??? What are you doing? Are you cutting the old ones out of your signature? Sooner or later, you won't be able to get another ticker in your signature. It will only allow so many lines, unless they have changed it. Oh well, we can keep up with your progress that way. Go, sugarb!

Shannon, how's Gus?

Yall take care and try not to float away in your boxes today.

Lisa

After you reach your one yr anniversary band date, how often are you scheduled a fill? Will it still be on a 6 week basic?

      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!!
