So, since Lisa is at 1.8cc fill I think I can get a fill of the same amount.

How many times does it have to be said?!?!?!

Fill amounts CAN'T be compared. You may be closed off at 1.8.

tsk tsk tsk

Penni, I know you know better than this... :)

Penni, read post "Lisa is in the funny farm."

I'm not sure I can meet the challenge since I'll need food, drugs, and alcohol to feed my emotional breakdown.

Oh, but now that I have a new (go read the post) I need my Total Gym pronto... maybe in 2 weeks we'll meet cuz I need buff arms if I'm gonna be a "HC" (again, read post.)

Penni, Penni, Penni... what's a woman to do. I'm feeling physically sick today. Thanks, Chris. And he keeps topping it off by calling and bragging to all his friends about his new bike. I answer all the calls around here, so I'm starting by telling them our mortgage isn't paid yet.

Oh, and he used my band surgery as a "fair is fair" excuse. I can have my band paid off by the end of the year with my Christmas bonus. He can have his Harley paid off next Century. Why does he have to add stupid to stupid?

As Forrest Gump would say, "Stupid is as stupid does!"

That says it all. I feel for you darlin. I wish I could fix it for you. I expected that he would use that as an excuse. Most men do when they feel like they aren't getting enough attention.

Well, I just stopped yelling at him. The one good thing about being on the back of the bike while he's driving is cause I can scream in his ear the entire time.... it's not like he can stop and get out of the car, right?

So I stopped yelling at him because I have to train him on the computer and about all our bills, since he has the new job of Finance Master. Then, I'm starting my bike riding lessons. La Madam probably doesn't know about MY new Harley yet since she left California at 6:00 this morning headed for Vegas. Maybe I'll go pick her up and take her for a spin on MY new Harley (are you guys dying laughing yet?)

Ya know what's so funny? Five years ago while visiting inlaws in Ohio, Chris took me to the World's Largest Shoe store so I could buy some boots. Well, they didn't have any... except their "Harley Davidson Collection." Like what am I gonna do with Harley boots? But Chris said they looked really cute on me, so I've had them 5 years and have worn them 5 times. Now my old jeans fit too, plus I made skull rags and welding caps. And I made a Harley purse a long time ago that I didn't sell because I didn't want to mess with any copyright or patent laws. So, I went from regular chic to biker chick overnight.

I had to get on the back of the bike so we could pick up our truck that he left at the dealer, and I fit right in with the rest of the chicks there. Except I don't have any tatoos. But I do have the big beer gut, so we're even. And if I DARE get a tattoo, kill me, because I'm a girly girl and I don't like them on chicks. Actually got a really bad one when I was 18 and had it surgically removed.

Okay, back to the issue at hand, which is our competition.

Game NOT off. The rules are, THERE ARE NO RULES.

Penni, go ahead and fill-em-up. Get 2 fills, heck, get 4. It's just a game, so I'm not letting it interfere with anything I've done so far or anything I need to do to stay healthy and band-happy.

So the deal is, whoever loses more weight wins the coupons, regardless of anything else. You do what you gotta do, I'll do what I gotta do.

(Donali, will you help me hold Penni down to shove rolls of quarters up her butt before weigh-in?)

Peace and love.... peace and love.

Penni, I even have my money on you! I'm weak, I'm emotional, I've been fatter longer, and my mother is crazier than yours. But I will not back down!

      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.
