Great, see you there! Anyone else want to join us?

Which Rockbottom Brewery location on April 7? I had surgery with Dr. K. on Nov. 24, 2008 and am losing SLOWLY...but steadily.

I'd love a chance to meet with some Denver area bandsters! Can I join you?

I am sooooo sorry that I've been so bad about posting as of late, and I'm way behind on reading, and I missed the weigh in this past weekend entirely. My dad had surgery for his melanoma last Thursday and they had to go back in this morning as they didn't get it all. Luckily, the lymph nodes were clear though. My MIL had the lower lobe of one lung removed this morning and they found another lesion in the upper part of the lung . . . won't know the results of the biopsy on that or her lymph nodes for 2 days. Luckily, they are in the same hospital, just a few hundred yards down the hall from one another.

I will weight next Saturday. Good job to everybody who lost! Sorry for the driveby!

Whoa, Mini, that is a lot goin' on. You and yours are in my thoughts.

well, got back from Palm Springs Tuesday evening. My, how sunshine can lift one's spirits...and one's weight! Won't be weighing in until the end, I am afraid. Like Mini and Mexico, I, too, gained. I am sure it is related to "water gain" but there was NO Water involved, unless it was the back to my scotch! Margaritas by the pool, wine with dinner, margaritas in restaurants...ahhhhh...the good life. But now back to reality and discipline.

Hey, where's Dee?

We usually meet at Red Robin once a month. We'd love to have you with us. I understand that we won't be meeting at Rockbottom Brewery since Patty won't be here.

April 1st, Mini will be here. We need to figure out a place to meet and we can all get together.

I'm here Sweetie!

thanks for asking.

I've been dealing with a lot of depression lately. Night shift is kicking my butt and I'm getting ready to take my daughter to college. I'll have an empty nest and it's something I am so sad about. I'm so happy for her! But after being married for 22 years, I never imagined I'd be alone when our daughter left for school.

Howdy!

Patty and I are going to be in Denver for fills on April 7th so we're meeting up at the Rockbottom in Englewood at 7:00 PM on the 7th. We'd love for you to come, and anyone else who's up for it!

Actually Patty isn't going to make it on the 7th, as far as I know. I am not sure I'm going to be in town, either, but if I am I'd love to meet with you and anyone else.

We're going to meet on the 1st when Mini gets here. We usually meet monthly at the Red Robin at Arapahoe and I-25. We've been doing that for over 2 years. We meet and take a picture to post here online. We missed the month of March.

Hi guys,

Put me down for -2 this week. It has really slowed compared to what I had been doing. Too much snacking:cursing:

Dee, I know what you are going through. When my daughter left for college, I would have never thought that I would be on my own. Luckily, I have two kids still at home to keep my mind occupied. She comes home often to visit which makes it nice BUT she has a boyfriend now who comes up to visit. He lives about 4 hours away and he travels here to see her. They met through a mutual friend. Scares me a little that she might ditch school and family and go stay with him, but she keeps telling me no. I hope that she stays focused.

Keep your chin up!:) It does get easier with time. I will be thinking about you. I wish I lived close by because I think we could be good friends.

Congratulations on everyone's losses.

      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!!
