Spent Friday walking around NYC with my daughter, was on my feet for 10 hours teaching on Saturday and then walking all day in NYC on Sunday and then flew back to OKC. I'm not physically tired, and ready to hit it again today. Dang it's fun losing.

Hope you enjoyed my town! I was all over the city as well on Sunday. I bet we passed each other without even knowing it.

"Enjoyed"? Well I enjoyed MoMA, buying my daughter some Tiffany Earrings, finally getting on top of the Empire State Building. But the traffic, $60 a day for parking, and the Newark Airport left much to be desired. ;-) At least the weather Sunday was nice. Found a great place in Fishkill for dinner Saturday, but I did not do a good job of researching food while I was in the City. Left that to my 16 year old daughter, major mistake* NOTE for all WLS person, don't let kids make the call.

Fishkill, huh? That's a ways away from the big city. I hope you didn't travel all the way there just for dinner. LOL. If you ever get back here again, PM me...and I'll give you plenty of food options...and tips for cheaper parking. Can't help you with traffic or Newark Airport unfortunately....

Did you see the Picasso exhibit at MOMA? The BF and I went a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it alot more than the Jackson Pollock exhibit.

I have 2. First - i bought a size medium exercise pants. I have to say I look good in them! Second- another car parked too close to me while I was in the store and I was able to squeeze into my car! In the past ive had to either wait or go in through the passenger side and climb over into the drivers side. Not a pretty sight!

The Impressionists are beautiful, aren't they? Glad you enjoyed. Next time go to the Metropolitan Museum. It's huge so map it out first. The artwork is beyond stunning.

Agreed ! and look into the Frick collection....it's unbelievable but I strongly suggest buying tickets online before your visit. The line routinely stretches around the block and then some for same day tickets.

I love going to The Frick. This is why I put up with the noise and crush of people...and the terribly high cost of living here. The cultural activities are beyond belief. In fact, after work today, I'm heading to the theater district to pick up tickets for The Crucible. I've never seen an Arthur Miller play...not even Death of a Salesman. So The Crucible it is.

It's a great play, esp. around election time...McCarthyism reminder around presidential election time is always a good idea no matter your persausation.

      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!!
