Recommended Posts

But on a good note today..........

I hit -50 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS TRACY!!! I also notice that you're at 222! Good for you!!

Damn girl you're catching up with me! I swear my doctor needed to give me a fill. I have lost only 1 lb since I last went to the doctor...he said I was doing good...well why the hell am I not losing? I'm hungry and can eat WAY too much! *sigh*

I wonder if, as we lose weight, the fill is looser, because less fat from surrounding is 'pushing' on it? Because I seem to notice by the end of the month (for the 2 whole months I had restriction), by time next fill came up, I felt back to square 1.. no restriction at all. And I was losing weight those 2 months.

Hey ladies! I've been MIA the last few months. I really need to make sure I log in here more often. Its helps keep me accountable. I've stalled on weight loss, and I was supposed to get a fill on 9/4 but when I went to my appt (I had 2 scheduled) found out the surgeon was out of town, so no fill. So Tuesday I go and get a fill which I hope will finally give me some restriction.

I have a stomach bug tho and haven't been able to keep solids down since yesterday, so today I'm doing liquids. Just hope they stay down :wacko: (Yesterday I found myself getting sick 6-8 hours AFTER I last ate)

WoooHooo Tracy!!!!! Way to go girl!!!! You will be in Onederland before you know it! I am SOOOOO proud of you!!!!

I would rip the head off the responsible party at the court house, let it be known far and wide what happen!!! On an up note imagine how surprised Shrek is gonna be when he sees you!!!

I took Kinsey and we went riding for awhile today--it was so much fun!!! My DD wants me to ride to Albq. with her tomorrow and take her to the zoo. It sounds like a lot of fun, and I think DD could use the break, and time away...but that is such a boring drive, it is 3 1/2 hours, and I am going to have to go down again on the 13th, then again on the 16th....for Rick's and my Dad's Dr.s respectively---it makes going for fun not seem so much fun!!! We'll see.

I am like Tracy, yawning my fool head off!

Laura--you going to get to go? DH feeling better?

lilnena sorry you are sick---feel better!

I need to go change out laundry---we are either really clean people or really dirty---good grief there is only 2 of us!!!

Hi melissa... I'm working on a real job so we can chat... I'm jealous you got to just change depts!

Oh Tracy - imagine your name, ss#, address, phone numbers all being mailed to a random gut with his paperwork! it was a clerical error and never happens.... ironically, it happened again right after this huge fight. You are in my prayers

50 FREAKIN POUNDS...ARE YOU KIDDING ME. TRACY, CONGRATS HONEY. YOU'VE WORKED FOR IT. AND YES...READY FOR THIS...YOUR STILL FRIEND EVEN THOUGH YOUR A SKINNY BIOTCH!

OK...ready for a giggle? I had the worst day at work. 4 min after the last bell, I was crying in the principals office. My class is so low...I am gonna have a really long year. Anyway, 1/2 way through a terrible 2 hour block w/ these kids...I send the email below to the 2 counselors. I laughed so hard 10 min ago when I re read it. Can you say "MELTDOWN". My mom, my period and my class...Bad Day! But this cracked me up. You can feel the desperation.

Hello Gentlemen:

I need HELP. Do you have any really really smart TA's available 6th period? From 12-1? I have such a LOW group, they are using fingers to add 2 + 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not take another behavior child, I have plenty of them. Please, I am pretty desperate here. An example of my class: I wrote that I wanted them to do numbers4, 5, 6, and 7 from page 455 in the book. I talked and explained and gave plenty of examples. Ready for this... Many used (4, 5, 6, 7) as the numbers to find the mean, median and mode. They used 4, 5, 6, and 7 AS THE DATA SET. And the kicker...it took 20 min to do it. I am not exaggerating. If you have some smart TA's...please, I REALLY NEED HELP!

Pamela

Anyway, that just cracks me up. and even funnier was Bob's reply. He asked,

"Do you need 4,5,6 or 7 of them?"

What a day. Goodnight to all my skinny biotches!!! I love you all!

Oh, Pamela...I feel for you. Honestly, i can't even imagine in my wildest dreams being able to teach. There is a very special place in Heaven for you, my dear. The UPside to all of this is that you get to take credit for how much they improve over the year and that must be an amazing feeling!! I'll bet $100 that you're one of the favorite and best teachers at that school...I can just tell. It's pretty amazing that there's not a high percentage of teachers that are hooked on Valium....:D

Good Saturday Morn, Violets~~

NSV this a.m.... "shopped" in my closet & "purchased" a denim jumper that was crammed at the bottom of a big pile of old stuff/stuff that didn't fit... was a bit nervous to try it on... didn't want it to *still* not fit!... but it does!... one might even say it's a bit on the big side!!... I know I was bursting it at the seams the last time I remember wearing it... I'm just glad to have something "new" to add to my clothing rotation... I imagine that the folks I see regularly -- at school, soccer, poms, PTA, the neighborhood, the grocery store... -- are sick of seeing me in the 3 or 4 outfits that comprise my "regular" clothing rotation... I know that I am! So it's nice to be able to add in something old that's new again... for me AND for them!! :D

((hugs)) Pam... when your supervisor wrote back that response, did you reply simply "YES!" ??

Today is dd's first pom performance!! + ds has a soccer game and dh is riding in his first bike "race" (a metric century ride)... and me? I'm just coordinating it all!

Make it a great day, everyone!

      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!!
