I with the Artic bald that came thru central Ohio, my kids have had 2 snow days this week (after a 16 day winter break!) and I'm going crazy! They're 3, & 5 (girls) in preschool, 6 yr old girl and 10 yr old boy in elementary school, and 16 and 10 yr old hs girls! They're fighting, arguing, and nonstop bickering has been off the hook!!

Then just when I think I can't take anymore... I have 1 Water line broken in 3 places! That means the landlord, his helper, and my (eye roll) husband have all been standing in my kitchen tracking muddy snow all thru it! Seriously!?! I am ready for a nervous break down! Oh and did I mention that I am also logging my every meal and trying to lose weight on my own before seeing the surgeon again!? Yeah I'm a tad past cranky!! I can't take much more!!!

Ty for allowing me a safe spot to vent without going smack ass goofy on this "fantastic" husband (eye roll again!) of mine! Tho if I had maybe he would go find setting productive to do besides hold the couch down!!! Then again prob not just makin me more annoyed! :)

MISTY... HANG IN THERE..this can't last forever ..guess the question is can you? I live near Toledo, Ohio and we have 23" with a wind chill of -35*. My Grandkids can't even go out to play in it or risk frostbite! Reading stories like yours makes me happy my four are grown!

Congrats to you for hanging in there and taking the time, with six kids, for yourself and doing what you need to be healthy so as they "are not on their own" like you feel.... Know that we are available to chat, rant or turn to for support... We have all walked this road TOGETHER here on the forums. I am kinda new ( RNY on Nov 18th) an am so thankful for the support I am getting! Think Spring :-)

Misty, I know you have a lot on your plate. Just wanted to commiserate. Chicago here; kids were off an extra two days. Delightful 14 year old daughter came charging down the steps inside the house yesterday, stepped down wrong and broke her foot. ARGH. In the meantime my husband has been trying to get here from the east coast and decided to drive instead of wait until they could get him on another flight. 800 miles, in this weather, through NC, Kentucky, INDIANA and IL. Didn't believe Indiana was shut down yesterday. Sigh. Will be so happy when they're out of my hair again in a couple of days.

phoenix here. put em on a plane (joke)

As bad of a mother as I am going to sound like, when this was going on.... I threatened to "give u to the gypsies if u don't straighten up" so many times while dealing with that mess. No I wouldn't really, relax! But it sure as he'll felt good to threaten em with it. They didn't stop! They're always lil bitty hell cats!!!

My youngest one has made me (after very trying days with her) call my own mother and apologize for being a bratty lil kid. I said "mom I'm so sorry for ever being an ass and I take back every mean thing I ever said. Please forgive me for being born" and I was sobbing. She lost it laughing. #confused! Hahahaha

      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!!
