Yup it's true. I got the official information today...I am in the middle of menopause..When the hell did that happen..Last I heard I was pre-menopausal.

Oh boy, waiting now to hear that I have a brain tumor or something like that..What is left I ask?

As Arney says " it is not a brain tumor."

Might as well relax LOL because it is here, the inevitable, and btw, I am in my 60s and going thru it again. Yes I said again. Not unusual according to my doctor.

I'm always, ALWAYS rooting for you!!!!! I want good things to happen...like Ryan Gosling seeing you on the street and saying, "I've worshipped you from afar for a long time and I just had to introduce myself." OR you invent a chocolate cake with butter cream frosting that has no calories and you become a gazillionaire when you sell your secret

OK - let's be honest...I want those things to happen to me! :blush:

I feel privileged that as a man I can empathize with menopause somewhat. During cancer treatment I was infused with Lupron, a hormone treatment designed to retard testosterone. Subsequently, I went through many night sweats and, most disturbing, weird mood swings. Crying because of toilet paper commercials is less than manly.

I am glad I discontinued that emasculation nightmare. May your time be uneventful.

RJ, I have an acquaintance who dated Gerard Butler when he was younger and lived in Scotland. I hate to tell you but she dumped him... not necessarily one of her better decisions methinks ;-)

Can't be.The man is well a biscuit....Would have loved that chance maybe to have dumped him too..Tell your friend I am totally in awe of her. She got to at least touch him....

A school girls crush...Had it since I saw his first movie..Maybe it is the hair or the accent...Or maybe it is just him....Oh well..Nothing has happened that I always wanted anyway...

I would probably just stare at him anyway...and not find my voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

Oh she did get to touch him.... He is a real hottie, so completely with you on all of this - even if the accent doesn't do anything for me!

I am sure if you bumped into him, he'd speak to you, so no worries, stare away, ha ha.

      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!!
