I hate it when I am too tight to drink Water. It's not that I can't drink it, it's just not as easy as it used to be.

This fill is great. I had 2 bites of Italian Sausage for dinner and that was all I could eat.

Bubble, you should invent an Afredo shake. You would get rich!

Really, you should consider yourself at goal. They are going to cut a few lbs of skin right off! Yay!:clap2::bounce::peace::):)

Nope, I'm doing this the right way. Three more pounds. Today I was 152.5 so I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be TWO pounds from goal.

I did go shopping earlier and bought a whole bunch of fun stuff. My "every three weeks new clothes" routine.

Hmmmm... I wonder how to make an Alfredo shake. It would probably be a mega calorie but I'll bet it would be GOOD!

Glad about your restriction, I know you have been frustrated a lot lately, hopefully this will do the trick for you.

Just know that you aren't alone. We all love food, but know the risks we take when we consume certain types.

You have done SO GREAT and you know you can do it.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Distract yourself. OK, RIGHT NOW I WANT YOU TO TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND TAKE A NICE BATH! READ A MAGAZINE AND JUST RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I finally get brave and go outside to go running (seemed dark enough at 11:30PM) and who do I see?

Some nek'ed guy peering in the windows of an apt complex. I hid behind a fence and called 911. The police guys come out and they want to know if I can identify him if they caught him.

How many nek'ed guys are running around that neighborhood peering in windows at 11:30PM tonight? Am I missing something? :eek: I just explained that I could identify his butt. Would that help? I think they thought I was kidding.

I still had two miles to go, I did 1.5 and it was just too creepy outside so I'm back in my house.

HAHAHAHA!! Maybe if you let the creepy nekkid guy chase you around the neighborhood that would burn off enought calories to get you there! :biggrin1:

Of course there's always the "Salon Diet." You know this one, right? Go get your hair cut. If you normally wear it long, cut it short. If you normally wear it short, shave it off (hey, if Britney can, why can't you?). You'll drop that last pound quicker than Anne Heche can change orientations! :heh:

In all seriousness though, your journey has inspired and encouraged countless other bandsters, Bubble. You can and WILL do this!!

Already did the salon diet. Cut my hair off but it's as short as it's going.

The nek'ed guy was creepy, but I have to admit he added speed to my running when I decided enough was enough and went home.

I have ONE pound to go and I'll meet goal #1, banded and at goal in 10 months. One pound by Saturday. I think I can do this. I'm living on Chinese veggies and Water and running a LOT.

Thanks for the kind words, MsDad. I'm anxious to have the whole fat thing become a part of my history.

      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!!
