Can't Live Without It...



Recommended Posts

I am such a geeky, techy person. I can't live without my treo 750 or my laptop. I also can't live without tivo, Peanut Butter tracks ice cream (bad, I know) my hubby, kids or two dogs!

One other thing I am very appreciative of having is my cell phone. I am going to be relying on it to spread news to the family of my DH's upcoming medical treatment again. I need a new phone...mine is old, and the battery is going to be more than replacing it with an updated model. Now------any suggestions for a phone? One to avoid????

Samsung just came out with a phone called the Jitterbug, which I think is a great concept. It's JUST a cellphone, no email, no camera, no games, nothing else. It's simple, to the point, and very well designed.

I've heard good things about the blackjack. I have the samsung version of the razor which I like, but for my next phone I think I want something that might combine PDA with phone, yet be small enough so that it isn't too big to just stick in my pocket or clip on my belt loop (of course I would have to have the keyboard and touch pen). They are doing interesting stuff with the slide outs and so forth and all that, so I'll wait a while as I'm still rather happy with my phone. Personally I always want more on stuff like phones.

The things I can't live without is the constant great support I get from my husband and my coworkers. Without them I would be nuts.

My Juki sewing machine. I quilt and this is a great must have. I love it.

DaVinci instant cappicino mix. I get it at Albertsons and it is only about 50 to 60 calories of yummy. And my doctor Scholl's walking shoes.

Well, jumping lizzards aside, I could not live without my lap band. I call it my PAL as LAP spelled backwards is PAL>

Ok, first off, Carlene, you have convinced me, after work I am going to go get some of those cheerios and try them out.

Back to phones, as mentioned, I am a major gadget geek. I like having my phone, calendar, contacts, tasks, games, weight tracker, expense tracker, weather, internet, messaging, and on and on all on one device. That is why I love my Treo 750. It is smaller than the old treos, and I either tuck it in my pocket or clip it to my pants with a case. I also love watching tv on it when I am stuck waiting in lines and stuff.

Thanks for all the heads up on the phones---plan on making a change tomorrow, I will be out of town for Memorial weekend, and need it to hold a charge for more than 30-45 minutes which is what mine is doing. It is an old Alltel phone---has always been pretty worthless!!! But at the time DH's employer bought it, so I took it!!! This one will be my choice though!

As for the cheerios, strawberry has never been my favorite---I will eat them as they come, the fruit itself, but anything strawberry flavored---no thanks!! So I only bought the one box, and it is packed away for our rally trip this weekend!!!

Thanks everyone!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
