Happy Fat Tuesday y'all.

Decisions, decisions. Do I eat the Paczki or the Coldstone Peanut Butter chocolate Ice cream cake I got for Dan's birthday???? I just can't decide.

Polish heritage or Coldstone deliciousness? Both? 10 pound weight gain this week?

Maybe I will just have a salad.< /p>

Factacular keeps asking the same question over and over again, regardless of how I answer it.

That's annoying.

Have you tried refreshing the pages after you answer? You should not have to do that but I am at a loss for anything else you can do.

I figure there's a glitch in the system. I saw other people in a forum saying the same thing. I'll give it a little time. I'll so be back.

Hi everyone, I am still sitting around the house healing well. I have never taken this much time off from work, it has been a blessing in disguise. I have been totally focussed on my school work. I did not realize that one of the classes I signed up for was accelerated. Oh well it will be over soon enough.

I have not been motivated or enthusiastic about getting on here and sharing lately. It all started before I ended up in the hospital. I have been having trouble with this band for a couple months and struggling with it in the worst way. My focuss has been on trying to figure out what was going wrong. I guess we all know the answer now.

My weight loss ticker is still accurate, although I don't know how. I am really down about the struggles. I wanted so badly to be under 220 by now. My biggest fear has now moved from will I lose the band to how much will I gain before being refilled. My Dr. said he wasn't sure how long it would be before we start refilling. He said he is thinking 6 months or a even year!!!!!!

I have to say how impressed I am with all of you.

ZZ, your b4 after pics are awesome.

D, HP, judging from your avatars. WOW just WOW!

J, BG, you two are still kicking ass.

B, thanks for the well wishes and for making me feel a little better about my OCD. I think you have a decided edge on me in that arena.

TX, congrats on the smoking. That is a tough feat.

Turler or T, welcome to the insanity. My two cents on the Bike issue. I went to the recumbent for the fact that I could not only ride it longer, but I also recovered from those long rides much faster. This allowed me not only to ride again faster but I was also able to walk sooner without horrible pain. That is just my personal point of view many find hybrids or other types of bikes fit the bill. It is very difficult but you have to search for what is going to work for you.

Take care, JC

      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!!
