I was driving...but hanging out on the internet at work these days is a bit of a No-No.

So I'm only here quickly. That's my reason for being MIA.

Hang in there, I know we all will get to where we are happy at, and just think.....2 1/2 months to get to Spring weather...which means BIKING!!!!!!!!

Biking weather is too far away. I can't wait!

I too wanted to be under 200 for new year, but it's not going to happen unless I get a freaking tapeworm in the next week.

D, I'm glad to see you are working out again. I need to add to what I'm doing, because I'm just not burning enough calories. Frinkin' Frack...bitch...ugh.

I just got banded Nov 7th and 2 days later got a gout attack and have had it ever since. Not the severe pain the entire time but enough to be annoying. What do you take for it? Do you avoid certain foods? Thanks for your help.

Spritz, post this in the general threads or in the complications thread. You will get more response. I know nothing about gout.

Spritz Try BLACK CHERRY EXTRACT. Chug it, if it does not help seek a prescription from your doctor. I take Allopurinol daily to prevent gout attacks.

Hello everyone, I have been blazing some trails. I would first like to say I have seen a few pictures on here and Damn I mean Damn you ladies are kicking ass in the middle of fat season!

So, I have been hunting (I will kindly spare details if you do not jump my ass for partaking in the sport).

Kayaked 10 miles of the Venice shoreline and found a small pod of Dolphins. I had a camera issue that prevented me from getting any good photos but will post some. Only one had a Dolphin it it.

I finally got my car back from the shop yesterday. Bought a Giganto HDTV on sale at Sears on Black Friday. I also netted a new MP3 Player, Sattelite Radio receiver and some other junk that I know I needed.

I got a fill 3 days before Thanksgiving saving me from eating myself into a coma. Met my new GF's family and managed to avoid a PB in their pressence.

Just finalized some of the logistics of my upcoming 100 mile Everglades Kayaking trek! I just can't wait!

Most importantly I have been spending a lot of time with my son. He just completed his Eagle Scout rank for Boy Scouts and signed up to our local National Guard Unit. His Eagle Scout rank apparently allows him to be classified as a E3. I don't exactly know what that means, but it sounds cool.

I will try to check in more often, but this is one of our busiest times of the year as far as work is concerned.

P.S. still managing to get a fair amount of butter churned!!

Were you hunting Dolphins?!

Dude you've been missed! How amazing!

Once upon a time you mentioned going to Vegas in January with the LBT people. Is that a possibility still?

Glad you had a good Turkey day. Meeting the family huh? How nice. Congrats to your son too.

There is a special place in my heart when it comes to Dolphins, I would never hunt them, at least not during the month of November! LOL (JUST FREAKING KIDDING PEOPLE!) I consider them my friends.

The only potential problem with Vegas would be the timing around a holiday. We have a few policies about taking time off in addition to Holiday time. What are the dates?

      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!!
