Ummm.....Susan if at 42 you are old, those of us in our 50's must be positively ANCIENT....which of course supports that evil side of my mind that says "Why even think about plastic surgery? You are too old to reap the benefits!"

**Tap with her withered fingers shuffles the papers on her desk...at least with her failing eyesight, she thinks it is her desk....**

Sorry, age is just a number, right? None of us are old, we are just getting started!!

3 potential new jobs in the pipeline...I've been referred to the hiring manager on all three, which means I passed the first screening test for qualifications, etc. Had to take a typing test on Tuesday - first time since I don't know when - and I practiced a bit online first. Scored 71 wpm corrected - not too shabby, if I do say so myself! :smile:!

That sounds like potential great news, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. And, I bet you will look great in that cute swimsuit!

I interviewed with a placement agency on Tuesday, and she has someplace in mind (though I haven't heard anything since).

Beth, keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

I want your job!!!

PJTP: Went to see the dr today. Down 9 pounds since last month. No fill again - been steady at this fill since March.

Down 83 pounds since surgery - 102 pounds from my highest. I can hardly remember being so big - which is a good thing!

Woo Hoo! You are doing amazing! Congrats! :smile:

To those of you who helped me with voting last night, thank you so much. It is a close race right now, we are within two votes of each other and I believe voting closes at 2:00. Wish me luck.

Guys, my oldest child, whom I refer to as my baby boy is graduating from high school tonight!! I cannot believe it. I know I am going to cry my eyes out!

Thanks Susan...age is a number. So is weight. As are calories, minutes of exercise, and alcohol content. Numbers are bad. :smile:

Haven't a clue what voting you are referring to, but good luck!

But you will be crying for joy, right?? Last of the children is grown...independent etc. You are free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning all! Thanks be it is Friday...and peaking out from behind the huge black clouds is a bit of sun! I am hoping for sunshine this weekend....I wanna go play in the dirt!! Its been torrential rains for 3 days now, time for a bit of dry weather.

hope all are doing well.

I told my DD that the day she started Kindergarten that I cried, then I cried the 2nd day because they only kept her half a day.

Then when she graduated I would cry one day because she was all grown up and graduating and leaving home, and cry the next because she was still there making me crazy!!!

She grew up into a pretty amazing person---so as hard as it is, it is worth it!

Tell him congrats from New Mexico!

As for age, my Grandpa used to say Age is mind over matter if you don't mind, it don't matter!!

Today I wore a pair of my pants I had outgrown while taking the steroids....and I breathed normally doing so!! The weight went on in wierd places, and is coming off so differently than the first hundred times.....

Gotta go finish dinner!

Maybe someone else will relate to this......I am 15lbs away from what I weighed when I got pregnant with my children. But yet the pictures from then I look so much thinner than now. The only thing that looks right is my old drivers license. I have an old one that was about the same wight as I am now. But 15 lbs shouldn't be that drastic of a look. This weight is the weight I remember being for much of my teen yrs and up to my mid 30s. My brain is finally catching up to the difference between before LB and what I look like now. I am seeing a thinner me. I don't know maybe it's because of the way I am losing around my body that doesn't match old pics. Oh well. I just need to stop looking at old pics! lol

PJTP: I hate boring weekends at work... I'm never going to get to goal if I keep nibbling on the Cookies out of sheer boredom *sigh* I don't think even the 5km walk home tonight will make up for the number of cookies I've had today :).

Wow, it sure is quiet in here this weekend. I hope that means that everyone is out having a wonderful weekend. I, on the other hand, have spent a very lazy weekend around the house. I sent the boys (DH and DS) on a boys night out last night. They went to see WWE. I had the house to my self. Wow, it was so nice. They had fun and so did I.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
