What a fun topic.

Now how to explain my profile name ribearty. My husband shortened everyone's name in our family to the first syllable of their name and added bear behind it. My first name is Rita so I was ribear. At the time we were buying ty beanie babies which explains the ty.

I looked up my hooker name. Until this post I hadn't heard of this. I found I have a "new name" Raquelle Glitzfire.

Miss Mac's hooker name would be BUFFY HENDRICKS. Sounds like I missed my calling!

Well . . . I'm a geek. I have a Master Replicas lightsaber sitting on top of my bookshelf (Anakin Skywalker's, if you're curious), :P and a Weta copy of Bilbo's map to Erebor, among other things. I know all the lyrics to Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. I have dressed up as a Jedi when it was not Halloween. I've been out of the role playing scene for ages, but I have a friend who's trying to get me back in. I'll probably let him. And since most geeks seem to be guys, I added the "girl" to the end to make it clear. I can't really explain the fake 1337-speak . . . (using numbers for letters), it just seemed like a good idea at the time.

Blore is the short name used for Bangalore (India), which I've been planning to move to for the past 3 years. Almost there. 2 more months!

My hooker name, Sitka 47th. Must be where I "work". And perhaps I'm popular with Alaskans. /wink

Been in your backyard many times to go to the State Fair. Lots of fond food memories there....cream puffs, cow pies, baked potatoes, gyros, Lions Club corn on the cob right there on the corner by the giant slide....mmmm. Sorry, I'll stop now :). Great concerts, too.

SparkleCat- several years ago a friend and myself decided to go to a huge Carnival party...while getting ready we literally covered ourselves in glitter! Glitter hairspray, Body Glitter, glitter make up....it was everywhere! When I got home, I was so exhausted (and, being honest, more than a little schmammered) I crawled directly into bed and slept like a log! I woke up the next day and the glitter covered everything! My sheets, my floor, my clothes and my jet black, long haired cat, Kisa! I texted my friend "oh my God! Kisa is covered in glitter! I have a SparkleKitty!"

Since SparkleKitty could be construed as slightly risqué...I cleaned the phrase up for public forums...SparkleCat was born :)

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.
