Who the heck is Rachael Ray?

Rachel Ray is the first white woman to cross the Sahara Dessert on an all terrain vehicle. She organized small choral singing groups every 100 kilometers or so, writing four-part harmony arrangements of the local folk songs. She often survived on camel milk when there was no food or Water, and is best known today for making a tart but sweet camel milk cheese that is used in salad dressings across Africa.

Evilah

No, unfortunately it's not real. I just had a little too much free time yesterday. I might explain by saying that I grew up in California in the '60s and '70s, and I still have the occassional hallucination.

:hippie: :faint: :P :eek: :heh: :hippie:

Mark, thats too funny, making people laugh is a good use of your time, IMO.

As for the girl, I thought I was the only one who thought she looked like Rachael Ray.

<p>I thought she looked like this actress, Megan Gallagher, that I have seen in several small tv roles, including Picket Fences, and more recently on 7th Heaven as Rose's mom. Now that you mention it, she does look a little like Rachel Ray.</p> <p> </p> <p>I would also like to know if she has been banded. I'd be kinda ticked if she was just some "never been fat" model!</p>

Rachel Ray has been banded. She weaved her own lap band from the ligaments and small intestine of the pygmy camel indigenous to the Sahara dessert. She made the port from sun dried camel lips, and she created the only known "dry fill" system for lap bands, using a particularly fine grain of sand found only along the border between Libya and Algeria.

      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!!
