I go to the gym. I hated curves. I hated the music they played and I hated using the same machines over and over in a circle.

I love they gym. My gym has all the cardio machines hooked up to the tvs so I can watch tv while I work out. I also really enjoy the classes they have.

I was in the hospital 3 nights. My surgery was Wed. 4-29. I got home on 5-2. I went back to work on the next Tues. I could have gone back to work on Monday but there were some things I need to get done at places that aren't open in the daytime.

I am on full liquids. I did Clear Liquids for 10 days. I move to mushy this sat. He said if I do fine on full liquids I can move to mushy at a week instead of 10 days.

I feel great! Have already lost 10 lbs so that makes me happy.

Does the ticker work now!?!? If so, this is what has been happening since 10/14/08. And I have a question for the group here, what do you do for an evening snack? Please, no fruit or shakes. Thanks for the suggestions!

I usually have sf Jello, or sf pudding or sf fudsicles or popsicles. I noticed today that crystal light came out with popsicles.

They did -- I bought some at the grocery the other night -- I haven't tried them yet; but when I do, I'll let you know how they are -- there are 2 different flavors in each box - and at Albertson's there were 3 different boxes - so 6 flavors -- I bought 2 boxes (they were on sale 2/$4)... I may have one tonight as I actually have the house to myself ... DBF is at a meeting and our company (his daughter and her boyfriend) headed down to Fremont Street for the evening. I'll keep you posted! LOL

Okay - I just had a raspberrylemonade crystal lite popsicle -- they are VERY good ... think I may be stocking up on them (thank goodness for the freezer in the garage!) while they are on sale ... once DBF finds them, they won't last as long -- he figures if one is good, two is better and believes that thought process is okay since they are "sugar free" :-)

In the box with the raspberrylemonade is lemonade. I also got raspberry iced tea (I think) and peach tea ... I'll keep you updated on how they taste if anyone is interested.

The PS I got was a brachioplasty--arm lift. I was able to tighten most of my 57 year old body, but those batwings ? Hated them. So now, I am wrapped from wrist to shoulder. I know I will have scars, but it was a trade-off.

While I was under, I also got a Mastopexy (breast lift) and a small implant added.

I didn't have children so I spent the money on me!!! hahaha

I can shower this evening...I am anxious to see the results when I take off the bandages. AND nervous!!

I'm having band on June 1, but my daughter had hers last year and is going for first PS June 4, lower body lift, breat reduction and fat implants into but. The arms and back fat/skin and a small implant will be next year. Very nervous about her being on an operating table for 8 hours but the doctor is a very well known and reputable doctor so I just have to trust that everything will be okay.

Good luck to you. The arms might be the only thing I will do and may be able to do the one where the incision is actually in the armpit instead of down the arm.

Again, congrats and speedy healing

I got the raspberry and peach tea as well. I thought they were very good. I will be looking for them on sale. I can't remember what I paid at Walmart, but I am pretty sure it was over $3 a box and it was the small box.

I am so glad to find a box of something that has no orange! Popsicle brand has orange in the regular flavor and the tropical flavor. I love the pineapple ones in the tropical box.

      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.

      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!!
