Hey.. WHY DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF ME?!

YAY on no snacking, I'm glad you did it for me, cause we went to a deli for lunch with Cookies the size of my HEAD. And I was internally fighting.. and I finally said "NO.. I said no snacking and sugar today". I did it for ya'lls!

I got an order of Soup, it was DISGUSTING. I'm not goin back to McAllister's Deli. I had Soup and drink, DH had soup and sandwhich and drink and it was $20!? And soup was horrid, tasted freezer burned.

So I am very very hungry, going to go decide what to make for dinner.

KEEP ON NOT SNACKING, CTCM cause we all need it (Except TracyK?)

Gina - You are sooooo pretty!!! And, again, I love, love, love the new glasses!

You know what, Laura?? I don't put up with bad food in restaurants anymore. If it's bad I send it back! I can only enjoy small amounts of food now, so what I get better be GOOD dammit. I sent back a Pasta dish the other night that was watery...and they credited my bill for the entree PLUS $3.00!

Ok, so this is what I've had today:

oatmeal (260)

1/2 c minestrone (75)

1/2 c cottage cheese w/ raspberries (125)

dinner now is cauliflower w/ cheese sauce (200)

Sheesh .. that's only 660 calories today! Yipeeee!!! I know, I know....where's the Protein?! I'm doing horrible on Protein lately :sneaky:

TracyK - How restricted are you... Do you need a FILL?? When was the last time you had one, anyway?

Kat - How's the torture device treating you today? Getting any better?

Denise-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Terri-I have seriously been thinking about another fill. It really hurt last time though. I am just SO scared of being too tight. Been there done that. The last time I had a fill was Jan 9th. I think I am at 2.2 I remember that she put alot in there (like 1.2) and I still did not think it was enough but we both thought that if it wasn't I could go back and get more. I wish I could go when the actual dr was there. The last thing I want to do is get filled to much then my year be up and have to PAY for an unfill :blushing: But, I will probably call today and make an appt. I have to do something. I can eat too much!

Have a great day everyone!!

      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!!
