You guys are my new best friends! I am so happy I found this site!

Dream Clothes: Yesterday I was shopping with my daughter (size 4) and we spent an hour in Victoria's Secret. Need I say more? It's not the sexy part--just nice pretty things! The other thing would be waist bands that don't roll!

What am I missing when trying to attach the ticker file to my signature? I keep getting an invalad file message when I try to paste the url.

Try pasting the bbCode

Okay here it goes: I am 5'10.5" and I am currently 435 (wow never thought I would type that out loud :faint:)

Isn't it amazing what you can admit when you're "typing out loud"? I admitted my weight on a post yesterday and had no qualms about it. However, I also told my weight to my mom and sis yesterday and was really nervous about it and they're the closest people in the world to me! It's a good thing to have a place to shout it out and not be afraid.

Patti C, throw away the guilt. One meal did not screw up everything. Think of all the positive you have done and let this guilt go. I think guilt has a lot to do with people eating too much. They feel guilty and seek out food for comfort. You are doing great. I can't imagine 3 weeks on a preop diet.

I have a ticker, I have a ticker, I have a ticker, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Bobbert's Mom - Camel Toe, One of my camping buddies explained what that was to me several years ago. I was clueless. Did you ever get the e-mail of the song Camel Toe to the tune of the Beach Boy's Kokomo.

Hilarious!!!!!

What is lip balm for? Please say I will not be that thirsty.

My surgery is not until 1:00PM. If I sneak a speck of Water, will I risk death?

So how many people are going to play the lottery tonight? And how many do you think will play 777 on a pick 3? If those numbers were picked they'd probably each get a quarter by the time it were all said and done, as everyone would probably paly those numbers today.

So I am going to play the lotto tonight, but I'll be picking some other numbers!!!:clap2:

mango24, your lips may be dry after the surgery, It's just to keep them from chapping. If you had to sneak a little sip, I'd tell them you accidently swallowed while brushing your teeth.

      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!!
