TERRY BICYCLE SALE!! That's right - for 2 days you can get half off everything (except bicycles) from Terry! Even on things already on sale. Saddles, too. The boss is away, inventory is high and we'd rather be out biking than counting so we're counting on you, instead. And just to make it super easy, we're throwing in free standard shipping.

Spread the word to all your bike sisters - we've never done anything like this before and it's doubtful we'll get away with it again. And remember, it's just 2 days: Wednesday and Thursday, November 14th and 15th.

I am cooking for most of my family and misc. people I know who are too far away from family to travel for the holiday. About 10-15 people.

Should make for a busy few days, but I'm excited.

For Thanksgiving I'll be doing the usual...

Driving 2 hours to go to my Granny & Gramps' house. There will be about 50+ family members there. We will have Turkey, dressing, other random dishes... and then there will be the very very large dessert table, which will have more calories than an Army should eat in a week. I will be forcing myself to resist the evil temptation that is Peanut Butter Balls and Pecan Pie.

We will play games and visit and I will try to avoid people noticing what and how much I eat, Lol. No one knows about my lapband...

And, really, this will go on for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday... Yeah, we know how to party. Lol.

Okay I am just done here. Done with it all. I am obviously never going to lose any more fucking weight. I am never going to have a 1 in front of my weight. I will always be 2-something. I can't diet worth a shit anymore. I am going to return this stupid fucking broken bodybugg and just get my money back instead of replacing it. I can't do it anymore. I can't pretend I am happy about it and that I am so fucking optimistic...I am not. Nothing else has ever worked for me so why should this? It's not working anymore. I am beyong fucking depressed in pretty much every aspect of my life. I don't have food anymore and I just can't deal. I can't cope with my own friggin life. I am sick and tired of stepping on the scale only to spend the walk of shame back to my desk holding back tears because it just won't change. I am sick and tired of being so damn emotional. Screw this effing lapband shit. It was supposed to be easier....it was supposed to be easier than this.

Sorry, continue on with the happy merriment, maybe by Thanksgiving my manic side will show again.

Oh, BG, hugs and hugs and hugs. I really think it is happening to everyone. I think the excitement has worn off and now it is just us and the band. I don't know what to tell you, as I feel the exact same way. If this were just another diet, it would have been shot. I would of had all the weight back on plus some. I guess that is the best part of it. There is no weight gain for you. Love ya dearly....I hope you can see some light at the end of the tunnel......and then share some with me.

Oh Stacy! You have every reason to be pissed and upset with how this is playing out. It will get better. It will.

You will see 155. You've done amazingly well. Perhaps you just need to stop working at this for a few weeks. We'll be here waiting for you. Promise.

Oh and if you got me in the SS you're not off the hook. I still want my gift.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
