Stef, the bike is a specialized Sirus comp. It's basically a crossover bike. Everything about it is road bike except for the handle bars which are more like a mountain bike.

JC, do you find overweight women attractive? I am mad at DH right now.....my car stinks really really really bad, like something crawled in it and died. I told DH about it and of course, did he look.....NO......He said, yeah, it stinks.....but did not do anything about it. I am pissed.

D, I find WOMEN attractive, period. Have you ever churned butter? LOL

I love gettin some butter churned! Sorry J. I couldn't help myself and besides I wouldn't be me if I didn't share that little tidbit with you guys.

LMAO....I know how to churn butter, but, I am not mad anymore, so I guess DH will be getting his butter churned tonight. Oh my god, that is just toooooo freakin funny. I am going to adopt this butter churning saying.

JC, the thought just crossed my mind. Do you date overweight women? I remember reading a thread I think in the rants and raves about who people found attractive and most of the overweight people did not find overweight people attractive. What do you all think? I think that I am attracted more to personality but I like big men. Not way overweight, but big as in tall and muscular. Both of which my DH is not. He is 5'9" but weighs about 170. He has been the same size since high school. In fact he may be a bit smaller since high school.

D, My first wife weiged 96-98 pounds but her attitude became intolerable. My last wife was in the 200 pound range. I have dated all sizes. I am attracted to many different things, of course a nice figure is pleasing to the eyes but it is not my focus. I look at the total person. What they are about as much as what they look like.

I have noticed that,,, (MOST) ,,,notice I did not use a blanket statement, most, of the Barbie Doll types are a Royal Pain in the Ass.

I have had to deal with an above average amount of close to home deaths in my life. I know how short life can be and I see no value in putting up with someone elses bullshit regardless of anything, much less looks.

BTW, I still heart churned butter! I am glad you are not mad at DH anymore!!!

<----- Wayne county butter churning champion in the house.

Wow I sound like either a really good farmer or a big time whore. Guess this is not the time to mention that my Virginia is itchy.

I am not really attracted to overweight men. It sounds stupid and shallow considering where I have come from but it is true. Muscular is great, even with a little pudge is okay. But athletic guys really do it for me. I have an obsession with football players. And men who like to do outdoorsy things, camping, biking, hiking, etc. I hate to sound like such a superficial bitch but DH is starting to look pregnant and it is such a huge turnoff for me. Maybe he is right, maybe I am shallow.

BG, I don't think you are shallow. I think you have taken control of your life and want the same for DH.

JC, I need to ask you a question. What is a really good laptop computer to get. My MIL wants to get my FIL one for Christmas and she thinks because I am in college I am smart about everything. LOL....which I am, but not computers. LOL...Can you help me out, or anyone? I have a stupid compaq presario and I hate it.

Talking about being attracted to fat people as a fat person. My Ex is fat and it didn't bother me. Once someone called us bookends and that bothered me. I decided from that point forward I wouldn't be with short and fat if I got another chance. Horrible but true.

Tall and fat, tall and regular, short and regular. Frankly someone needs to be smart to keep my interest.

Passing to the olive garden is understandable. It's all pasta..well there is Soup and salad. Niether of which work that well for me now. Lettuce is just gross chewed to the right consistency and the soup, isn't chewy enough and I feel like I'm going to be hungry again too soon.

Are you going to the pool and hot tub tonight?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
