J - Bugg pisses me off. I don't burn nearly as many calories a day as I anticipated... Other than that, it's golden...

Second mid-term this afternoon. I'm done with that happy crappy for a while...

My body hurts.

I climbed 5 flights of stairs to go see Jenn today and it effing sucked ass.

That pissed me off so after lunch i climbed the whole 11 flights of stairs to the roof. I damn near died so now I am determined to do it every fucking day I work until it is easy. I shold not be this out of breath climbing stairs.

I have been climbing the stair at my job - (8 flights) - 2 times a day minimum... I only use the elevator if I'm transporting a patient, or first thing in the morning, cause I"m always running late. Lol. I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my stamina. I only hav eto stop once now, usually between 4th and 5th floors. Its awesome.

:update:

{{{{{ALL--- I will work on getting the SS sorted out on Saturday... I promise. :( Included will be adresses for all so that you can do Christmas Cards. Any others wanna play?}}}}}

I had to leave the riding banana in!

I think it is actually quicker to take the stairs at my hospital than it is to take the elevators. We have a 4 bank of elevators for the tower and sometimes it can take upward of 5 minutes waiting for one!

you know what??? I have been put on mandatory OT until the end of December or until a project is completed. Now on one hand that is wonderful...extra money, etc.....BUT......HOW THE HECK AM I GOING TO GET IN MY EXERCISE?????LOL

I have been happy that my restriction is working good. This is the first one where I can actually say that it works. Even carbonation in a NONONONONONON....and I have always been able to tolerate that before. My limit on food is amazing, and I am not hungry either...which is good for me. I am having to remind myself to eat.....Yea.....that is just nuts

So, maybe I will get down to the 50's before the end of the month. I would love that....

I am wearing a pair of jeans I bought that the first time I wore was killing my gutt. Today, they are comfy!!!

Hope everyone is havin a good day.....you know....someone is going to have to save money for a BB.....I am getting jealous!

OMG same way at my hospital! We have a 'service' elevator that isn't quite as busy, but housekeeping and maintainence seem to think it belongs only to them.

I love that banana on the ... llama?

Morning everyone! TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HP, Yeah OT!!! Can you walk during break time or anything like that? Sucks about not being able to exercise. Load up on the weekends?

B, I know what you mean about being pissed by burning fewer calories than you thought.

However, it makes me get up and move more.

Yep. I need to get off my ass more during the day. I did notice that my calorie burn was up during my mid-term. All that brain effort uses more calories... Not that I want more tests, mind you.

I'd rather midlessly run around too.

On that note, I've got yet another paper to write. Catch you all later.

Any insomniacs in the house? I'm going to die if I don't get some sleep. The damn time change has me up at 5:40 in the morning and I don't go to sleep easily at night. This is insanity.

To boot the GF is a sleep whore. I'm like woohoo let's get up and go to the gym! Let's run here and there...

Good thing I have a paper and 4 chapters to read. You know something to keep me busy instead of pestering her. :)

Anyone have fun plans for the weekend?

      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.
