Terry! I was also wondering about you. I hadn't posted in a while, either, just busy.

I can't believe you got terorist e-mail! Don't let them get you down. Keep in touch!

Congratulations on the new job. Sometimes the comfort of the status quo holds us back like a giant magnet. You overcame it's force and I hope great things happen for you.

Donali, your construction project is looking good! My husband is a general contractor, and over the years I have seen alot of work. Sometimes I think I could do it, but thinking about it and doing it is two different things! Girl, YOU ARE DOING IT!! That's remarkable, and I think you're awesome.

Hi everybody,

I don't get online like I used to ( I can't) but I sure do appreciate everything you all have said. This is the best group I have ever been in. I am still struggling, for some reason, (emotionly) but I think it is just the fact that I have had so many changes lately. They say that major changes can do that to ya! I just love all of you, and from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for listening. You are the ones that "rock".... I feel like I have a real family here , No, I KNOW I do.... I am MUCH better. The job is really hard, but it is also getting better. So there....

My simple little brain can't remember everything each one of you said, But you girls know I love ya, even the ones I don't know...

I am going to get a fill soon, I think that may help as much as anything.... I can eat a boat load now. My appetite is coming back big time......I have have gained up to 210.5 so I am creeping up. I can tell it in my clothes too. I wasn't ready for gaining just yet, I thought I would lose another 50 lbs before that happened. Beware ladies, it can put you in a depression. Especially if you have tendencies to get down anyway. But like I said, I'm on my way back. I can tell.... So once again I want to thank you all for being there. And thanks for letting me "whine" lol.....sometimes you just gotta do it...

Delarla, you look so great now, and you are awesome on that bike.

Let us know how you're doing.

Where are you getting your fill?

I'm gonna have to go for another myself. I notice SOME restriction, but not nearly enough to have me losing. It's like starting all over for me, but I'm still SO much better off than I was a year ago.

We're all still gonna have to set up a dinner or something here in Texas. Maybe you'll need to come up and do some Christmas shopping.. (wink, wink):)

I don't know yet (where i am going to get the fill). I have real lots of posts in the last year and it seems like there is someone in Dallas I need to see. My close friend said that there was a doctor named Nirmal Jayseelan in Dallas area that would see me and swore her was good. Any ideas ladies? Otherwise I will just go back to Dr. Dillawn. My gut feeling tells me I should anyway.... I was reading another post about how we put these doctors up on a pedestal. Heck they work for us....right? So for the sake of convenience, I will probably go back to him... Youre such a good girl Letha. You are always there for everyone.... Thanks!

Hi Terry - Glad you stopped and let us know how you are doing. We all worry when you aren't here. I'm glad to hear the job is doing a little better, it's always so hard to start a new one. I think once you get that fill, you will feel better. Have a great day, and put a pretty smile on your pretty face!

Betty:D

      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!!
