Green~Thanks for posting that list, it is always nice to post that every now and then. I always tell my self to print it and post it on my fridge (I think I did once, but it is gone now). I am right with you on the bad food choices. The last couple of days I have been eating carbs like crazy! I don't even want to know how many carbs I have eaten! I missed my run/walk yesterday and my gym is probably wondering where the heck I went...time to get my butt back on track FO SHO! I think I am up 1lb this week too, no big surprise, but it sucks! We can do this!

Hi everyone,

I know this is probably posted somewhere in this thread but I am still going to ask. I am making my airline and hotel arrangements but I need to save money. Does anyone know if the Extended Stay Hotel in LoneTree is ok? The map says it is only 13 minutes away from the hospital.

Heyloooooooooo to all you skinny bitches!

Apparently I have been missed?!? Thanks for the myspace message marcy!

I am still around, haven't logged into this site in FOREVER!! How is everyone? This thread has gotten way too big for me to go back to where I left off months ago.

I have been super busy with roller derby. I am now the VP of my league and seem to be involved in everything that is derby these days. I went to KC in Feb on a derby trip and was in Milwaukee last month for an annual conference for yup... derby. I am trying to figure out a way to get to Vegas next month for a girls weekend with a bunch of derby girls.

I am still not at goal. I gained some weight and have since lost what I gained and a little more. Still have about 40 pounds to go but it'll happen. I hate my job and am looking for something closer to home. Gas is killing me!

Talk to ya'll soon! :blushing:

Me too, Minnie. Hope we hear something soon.

Hey Drews! Good to hear from you stranger.

Fat Widow -- I don't know anything about the hotels in the area except the Holiday Inn Select near the Parker Hospital. Hopefully, some of the locals can help.

Because I can't spell. What else is new.

DREWSLOU whussup chica!! GREAT to see you posting here. How's life ROLLING? :blushing:

...........................................................................................

Dee- put me down for 3 pounds down. I knew I'd have a big loss this week. Got my shipment of whey Protein RASPBERRY..liquid nector of the sugarless fruitGods...last week. I mix that stuff with Raspberry Lemonade Crystle Light the 42 grams of protein vile. I drink two of those a day eat my Protein Bars in between Breakfast and lunch then have a "sensible dinner". I tried one piece, about 2 ounces, of Warr Sue Gai chinese chicken last night and had a gastric blowout. (fried) That's what I get!

...................................................................

Whoever is having the rough time..can't remember but did the Micky D's breakfast biscuit here is what I find. I find if I feel "starved" I will eat that which I am not suppose to. Something about having one drawer in my bedroom dedicated to all things bariatric intake makes me feel like I have my own fast food place. I have that drawer packed with protein bars, viles ( I bought boxes like they sell in the store) of protein whey, so if I am feeling deprived I reach for something that is controled in content. Don't want chocolate shake, fine, I got vanilla, I got carmel, Peanut Butter, mango, raspberry... I can pretty much hit bitter or sweet.

*Whatever it takes, keep experimenting til you hit what works for you*

..................................................................

Fatwidow, I read reviews online from users that have stayed at hotels. I found this for Extended Stay: Toweling stained no matter how many you attempted to use. bedding - all stained pillows and sheets w/ long black hairs everywhere. carpet stained and very dirty everywhere a vacuum didn't.. One Star

*i'd keep looking but that's just me.

The hospital is 2 miles off hwy. 470/Parker. 470 is a major artery, good highway that connects easily to their main interstate system that circles the city. *If you live near a big city it's like I-225 or I-275(mine near Tampa) that circles the city...Denver has several highways that mostly connect at some point. Loads of places on 225 and 470. Just stick to the southeastern side of the city for close proximity. It's all pretty urban there.*

........................................................

.............................................................

GREEN- Thanks and worthy of reposting the how to know if you need a fill or are spot on. Thanks again. We can all use refreshers at some point.

Doing good here folks, great restriction, all is fine, pipes are doing perfect. Love MY BAND!!!!

Lap-what raspberry Protein stuff do you use? I have been looking for something to mix into Crystal Light (although I didn't do so well with the protein thing before, I need to try it again now that I am getting better restriction...)

Well ladies, definantly time for a fill for me. I ate waaaaay too much tonight! Thankfully I have an appointment scheduled for Monday.

Where is our Brandy? I hope she is ok!!

Lap, good suggestion about the drawer. And congrats on the good week!

Mini this is my favorite place to buy from. Lower prices and shipping is one flat rate of $5.95.

New-Whey Liquid Protein from IDS on sale. Find information about IDS

That's a link to the Protein Shots I buy. They are amped with Protein, low calorie and a good source to get your requirements in.

      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!!
