making a public apology.



Recommended Posts

To the smokers. Sorry I called you dumb. I do know how to spell for the person who was ragging on my spelling. I`m using my phone and my thumb is way bigger than the buttons. Its comical because I am a teacher. Anyway, apologies to all.

I got "wadded up" because I did not appreciate being called dumb. But I really got "wadded up" because I was told I'm a militant smoker, I'm old, I smell, and I'm going to basically die soon.

So, yes, I think the apology was warranted and it is appreciated.

I was extra harsh with you. Was having a bad day. I read over the weekend that current smokers are 7 x as likley as non smokers to get anal cancer. So much is stacked against smokers. I read Farrah Fawcetts book, written by her bf and it was horrible what she went thru. Thats all Im gonna say on this subject. Lets put it behind us.

I have no idea what you posted, but as a former smoker, I hate it. My mom was a smoker, she died when she was 3 years older than I am now....from lung cancer. (she was 56) I continued to smoke for another five years. Quitting was the most difficult thing I've ever done, but boy, I feel so much better. It's been sixteen years and my intolerance to smoke and my sensitivity is shocking. I carry nose spray with me because if I happen to walk through cigarette smoke, or am near a smoker, I get all stopped up and cannot breath. I can smell a smoker just by passing them on the grocery isle and can smell it on someone who walks up to our door. I can't believe I went from smoking a pack a day to cigarette smoke triggering a Migraine many times. It's bizarre.

You are protected under the First Amendment. As a former smoker, I wish I had stuff like that to read. Been smoke free for over 5 yrs. the best. Irony though, you get sleeved to lose weight and be healthy but continue smoking which is just as bad. To each their own. Just ironic. :/

      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!!
