Of course you can have your cookbook. Its been in my car for months. I keep forgetting to give it back. Can you wait until Monday or do you need it before? I can run it over to you if you need it sooner.

My Iphone is in Houston. It will be delivered today!! I'm so excited.

Fill is still doing good. Every now and then I get hung, but no PBs. This is new to me, but I'm learning.

Jade Palace is OK with me. So is the buffet. Actually the buffet may work better. Let me know. I'm open.

Great! I'll bring one. There's one for stretching, one for thighs, one for Buns, one for arms...but each one is a full body workout. I'll bring thighs...I think it's pretty representative....

I vote for Far East buffet, but I can se swayed to Jade Palace.

We need to have show and tell with your new iPhone!

Monday is fine for the cookbook.

So - Jade Palace tomorrow night??? I am going to try to be there!!! We used to eat there all the time YEARS ago before we discovered Chinese buffets (and I discovered 100 extra pounds!!!!) How was Tai Chi? It will be Thursdays at 7? I am dying to try it out. My husband has even said he may try it too.

Now seems to be the time to start. A new Tai Chi class just stared last week. Since it starts from scratch, we can all build up our skills together.

See everyone tonight. I may look scary. I'll be coming directly from the gym.

You knoe, those half hour Tony Horton tapes really are helpful. This morning, the dogs decided to get up at 5, and I can't get back to sleep after they get up...so I usually vege out and watch TV for half an hour while I try to wake up. This morning it was Star Trek....and the woman who gave Spock an illness that gave him uncontrolled emotions. I know. My life is exciting. Anyway, I put Tony Horton in the portable DVD with the sound off, continued to watch Star Trek, and did a half hour stretching workout. Great way to start the day, and I didn't miss watching the Enterprise go backwards in time.

Hi there, I just got back online. I guess we had a lightning strike on Sat and we lost phones, modem, and garage door openers? Weird...and we are trying to start the moving process. I'm not sure I can make it. Don't wait for me. Hopefully I'll get life back in good order soon.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
