I did hamsters in high school and had to give up on it. I went through 3 in 1 year and they all kept getting tumors and dying :lol:

This is why we have chinchillas. They live about 12 to 20 years. Unlike the hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and mice we had before.

Mac - I just can't help myself - NEVER! :)

The Yankees jersey belonged to my late MIL and I feel guilty for never wearing it and for even considering throwing it away. But if it gets to be way too big .... well, I'll have good excuse then, right? :sad:

I like to wear a Christmas-y sweater on Christmas morning so I can look festive in the boring holiday videos Mr. Mac makes. As you can see, this amount of use did not justify buying a new one every size. The one I have now is only wintery anyway, but I still bet I get rid of it before I wear it again.

am going to organize my clothes by size. I can't wait to be able to tell some of them, "sorry, guys, you're just too big! See ya!"

That's a good idea!

What a nerd, Heehee.....BTW, Happy B-day, since my work week is ending tonight, and I usually reserve LBT for weekdays. PS- Get a myspace site so I can friend you, ya geek!!

Make a Facebook page and we can talk.

<wiping tear> Plain - that was just SO touching! :sad: (Thx for the bday wishes!)

PS - and how do you know I don't have a myspace page, darlin? :) I have both a myspace page AND am on Facebook, tyvm. (However, I was drug kicking and screaming to both!)

She Smiles - sorry for your loss.

Another vote for BBK done.

While I was walking home last night, i encountered a little mouse stupidly trying to cross a major road. I spent endless minutes trying to scoot it back to the treeline, but alas it evaded me. Needless to say, a few drivers were puzzled at my apparent random dancing on the sidewalk, except for one guy in a truck who yelled to me 'Kill it, you idiot."

It's Friday - Yeah! Another freakin' raining day - blech. But Friday, so on balance, a good day.

Gloucester - I'm thinking of you girl. Praying ya'll remain safe. Batton everything down and like Brandy said don't go outside unless you absolutely have to. The doggies may need a "room" for them - maybe an extra bathroom if you have one. Get some doggie trainer pads, newspaper, or something. Stay safe and let us know how you are when you can. I know I posted earlier about going out between bands - but that's only if you are getting outer feeder bands....this is a huge storm and nothing to take lightly. Take care of yourself and your family. God Bless!

I'm done with all my pre-op testing. And now I'm working the forms for the disability leave. I thought that it started the first day you were in the hospital but it appears that is no longer true. Bummer.

I had my sleep study. Wasn't bad at all. Nurse said I quit breathing a few times but for like 1 or 2 seconds. Nothing severe. I get the full results on September 25th. As soon as I got home today my pulmonologist called. I have asthma they said 12 and under was asthmatic...I was a -35. So He's putting me on two inhalers...I can't afford the symbicort one though....anyone know of any like that but are cheaper and work about the same? The rescue inhaler is only 30 though but the Symbicort is over 100. Also I got a new hammie. :lol: Long haired cream colored. I named it Toffee.

      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.
