Good Morning everyone

I have my own issues, but so glad I don't have heartburn.. Although I know I can't eat spicy food like i use to. I was on a wing sauce kick last summer and was in bad shape at that point, but now that it is only a treat, I don't have any issues. I do add cyanne to everything to get the little kick I need.

Vicki - I'm sorry you are lonely, I so understand what you are saying. I need to take a road trip to visit you.

I've been sick as a dog, but finally sucked it up and taking antibiotics and feeling much better. Been detoxing all week and back down to my ticker weight so i'm happy, considering it is pms week, maybe I'll make the 70's next week.

Well off to bring some stuff to my dd that she forgot before it starts snowing too hard.

have a great day all

Val - you never know

I've been seeing this guy, and it is refreshing, he may not be "the one" but he treats me well, and I don't call him, he calls me, I have not seen him since Monday but he has called me every night to say good night and see how my day was. But he doesn't want to be in a relationship? LOL

I have more confidence than I have had in a longtime.

I had a long talk with my sister, she was bigger than me and has worked really hard and lost 75lbs in a year, she looks great and I was jealous. I'm wearing smaller clothes than her, but we are built completely different, always have been. So she weighs 156 and I m at 178, I'm an inch or 2 taller than her and for the most part don't hold my weight any one place. She has smaller legs and butt but bigger on top. She thought I had to be 135. I told her if I weighed 135 I would be a size 1. at 178 I'm a 12, and pushing a 10, someplace I've never ever been. She was floored. Funny, I see myself being so much different that what she saw me as, and told me not to focus on the scale because she would never guess in a million years I weighed that much!

OH well, had to share that, I still don't know how to absorb all that, 135 and she weighs less than me... I don't see it, any of it

Vicki - how are you doing today. I needed that laugh, and had to share it!

Off to get ready to get my hair done

everyday is a challenge, one way or the other, but isn't everyone having challenges? So i say val u must have made an impression if he is calling everyday and u must look great if everyone is telling u and it doesn't mean u looked bad before, u just look better. it must be an ego trip to have all this attention so take it and run with it. lol....

Jenn, good for u, didn't know u started seeing someone, I'm jelouse of both of u.

I am down to 192 this am, 3 more pounds to reach my 100 lb loss goal! yay. have a great day everyone and if you have any duds u want to get rid of toss them my way...lol

We are still feeling out the waters so not in a relationship at this point, but i'm content. and working on me!

I just got some very depressing news, student loans sucked up my tax return, no vacation for me, plus a lot of other things that needed to happen.

Vicki

I didn't realize you are down that much ... good for you, i'm happy for you

The stress of the next 2 weeks and today might just get me to where i need to be.

hugs to you all

yeah, wish I could say the same...since I have one person left to talk to....lol.... I am feeling tight again, it comes and goes usually, but it is not going away this time, even Water stays put for awhile, I have been up and down sooo much, i dont know what normal is anymore. does liquids stay in ur pouch for some time, if i try to burp, water comes up. I know it sounds disgusting, but I need to talk to a bandster to see if anyone else experiences this. Also, sometimes when i eat, i experience really bad pain in my chest until i get rid of it....any response is sooooooooooo appreciated..:thumbdown:

Oh Val, I thought finally I was where I was meant to be, and then this is happening and I am sooooo discouraged, I am either too tight or too loose, I am going to call on monday and see of I can get scoped, scared to get it done, but more scared of whats going on inside my esophogus.:smile:

I also feel miserable, cant eat or drink anything or I'm in every bathroom getting splashed in the face. eewwwwwwww.........

      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!!
