I survived my nephew's b-day party so far today, and we're gearing up right now for a superbowl party. Everything is already done, so it will just be a matter of relaxing and watching the game... DH has done a LOT to help me, so hugs to him. :)

Anybody here? I just spent the hour catchingup.

Sounds like you guys are still fabulous. I'm doing well. Down 46 on good days. scale hasn't moved since December and gained 1,5 with superbowl chowdown.

I have 3.6 in 4cc band still no issues with PB or vomit. I'm going on a cruise in July so need to work extra hard to loose 30lbs by then. I need all your encouragement.

I'm here, too!

Look at it this way, Skinny, you can SO do this, if you break it down, you'll need to lose 1.5 lbs a week, and you'll be on target!

I'm almost back from the dead now. I've got a nasty cough and a terrible headache, but I think I might live.

I CAN ALMOST SHOP IN A REGULAR STORE RIGHT OFF THE RACK ! I'M SO EXCITED.:cursing: IT REALLY DOES FEEL GOOD TO SEE ALL OF OUR HARD WORK PAY OFF. I REALLY DON'T EVEN MISS EATING OUT ANYMORE - I GUESS I'M CHEAP, BUT I HATE PAYING MUCH FOR SOMETHING I CAN ONLY EAT A FEW BITES OF. MY WAYS OF THINKING ABOUT food HAVE CERTAINLY CHANGED.

Hang in there travelgirl. It took me almost a year to get motivated.

I joined 24 hour fitness this week and i'm so sore. I want to cry. I can barely lift my arms to put a jacket on.

Happy Valentines Day girls !:mellow: I had my 7th fill yesterday. It was ok except my dr. had to leave for an emergency and I saw a different doc. He was a little rougher. He got me on the first poke , but caused quite a bit of bleeding. Had to use a big gauze pad to get it to stop. So my belly is a little sore today. All of us in for fills had to see a nutritionist together in a class. What a waste of time - "eat your protien and take you vitamins". I've pretty much figured that one out in the past year !:cursing: At least I had time for a little shopping afterwards. Bought my family "Krispy Kreme" do-nuts. They looked great, but I knew better. lol !

Have a great V-Day with your loved ones !:wub:

Talk to you soon !

Whew, that was rough. I've had the flu now for 2 weeks. What I thought was a cold got better for a few days, then hit me last week with a VENGEANCE. What a nasty little bug that is. I'm still coughing and sniffling, but I'm upright (but still exhausted) and back at work because I just could not miss any more days before being put on FMLA, which I'd rather avoid if at all possible. I just hate doing the paperwork for it.

I hear that the entire country is being ravaged by this one, seemingly all at the same time, which is unusual. The CDC says it usually spreads east to west over the course of several weeks, but this season it's just been BAM! everywhere...all at once.

Yeah I am trying lol.

I need spring to hit here so I can get outside and ride. I am so stir crazy from being inside and have all but given up working out indoors. Since I don't plan on getting my plastics done until Octoberish I have a bit of time to lose the rest.

And you are pretty close yourself Miss Skinnyjeans!

      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!!
