June 2007 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

So... Today I went to Worlds of Fun with a friend. Last time I went was a few years ago, when Iw as about 350 pounds. I barely fit on any rides, ost of them I didn't even dare to try after I tried one and had to embarrassingly walk away in front of everyone. Ugh. ANYWAY. so yeah. I fit on all sorts of rides! I was so excited! But now, between the sun and the heat and the lack of proper hyration I'm EXHAUSTED! Oh, and I completely enjoyed about 1/3 of a massively large funnel cake. Lol.

OK, I'm going to take some tylenol, drink a gallon of Water, and go to bed!!

WTG suzzziee!!!!! How fun is that?!?!!

I bought tickets to Six Flaggs last year and I couldn't fit on some of the rides. They were soooooo tight trying to squeeze in, and then I would be sitting next to my so so I'm worried about it not being tight enough for him since my big ole bootie is in there. UGH!!

Such a different story this year!!!! Now I wish I could get some of them a little tighter (I'm sliding around too much!!!)

Where did the Junies go? It's been reallly quiet around here! I know it's Summer and play time, and trip time, so on and so on. I haven't been on here in almost 3 days myself.

I HOPE HOPE HOPE and PRAY that Stef is ok!!!!!

yesterday was my 1 year bandiversary :Angel_anim:

I didn't hit my goal but I'm close and I am completely ok with that!!

I will get pics taken in the next day or so. Life seems to have gotten crazy right now - work is doing layoffs, kids are in different directions and hard to keep up with, and it's time to kick off another busy season at work!!!!

Anyway - it's been quiet around here so I assume everyone is out enjoying the sunshine and our new smaller bodies!!! WOOHOOOO!!!

HUGS to all :smile2:

Congrats Wombat. Happy Band. I know you look hot already. It's so great to hear the things people can now do that they couldn't/didn't dare do before.

I too am worried about Stef and I assume the real world is getting in the way of her internet stuff. Still Stef, if you read this post an 'I'm OK' or send someone a text.

Stef is checking her myspace, and posting on her kid's pages, so I'm sure she's okay. Summer activities have taken over in her household, like mine.

My body isn't *all* that much smaller, but I sure am enjoying this summer more that ones before. Hiking is soooooo much easier!

      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.

      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!!
