The best me, I assume you mean Red-Con. (oops Republican) Blue Dem lol

I usually go Blue, but, lately, neither party represents me too much anymore. I am finding myself to be a libertarian. Which is really contradictory to the way I vote. I just don't want my gov't involved in my morals or my money lol

don't get me started........lol

You didn't tick me off..........it takes a lot for someone to do that when politics is your hobby since most of my friends are Republicans.

I'm a wife, mom of 3, new grandma to a 2 month old, mother-in-law, and nurse. I work part-time 2 to 3 days a week at a big hospital as a charge nurse on a medical teaching floor. I love being an educator (is it obvious?)

I love poppit on pogo and LBT, and am also addicted to ebay. I play hoyle card games and board games on my computer at home, plant loads of flowers in the spring, and am going to buy a new bike this week so I can start riding again as it warms up. I love kids of all ages, and enjoy being with my family. I am sort of a computer buff, and my DH is a microsoft certified geek, so we do a lot of work on our friends and families computers. We got our first computer in 1986, so as computers have evolved so have we, boy do I feel sorry for people trying to learn it all from scratch at this point in the game!

Whew! I like Red for the reason stated above. Laissez faire. Or my business or my church or my child-rearing or my charity work or anything that happens in my home or my car that isn't illegal (probably where we part, you having Libertarian tendencies! Haha!)

Anyhow, did I say Red or Blue then drop it? This could get SO Off Topic!

Let's stop now, lol.

Way to go Tinkerbell! I hear ya!

HI,

I mostly spend time reading all the posts on all the different lap band groups I belong to and when I have some extra time (LOL) I do stained glass and also glass fusing. I am now trying to make some jewelry out of my fused glass pieces. Oh yeah, I'm married and have a 23 yr old daughter who I have to listen to when she complains about her job (LOL). I don't work since both my husband and myself are retired.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am a news and current events junkie. I also volunteer doing pet therapy in a nursing home. Denise, I'd love to know where you go for political chat. I would probably enjoy that. You can pm me if you want.

      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!!
