Here in Atlanta. Attending Conference. BUSY BUSY!!! Took time to check in with you guys. I won't have any free time till Sunday night now. So, Everyone stay safe, sip sip sip, chew chew chew, exercise, fight with those docs and insurance co, tell the nosy and bossy co-workers and family and friends to go climb a tree (sorry brain fried and can't think of one single curse word, LOL!!), and for all those new bandsters or soon to be new bandsters YAHOO!!!!

It will get better newbies.

Iggy is still giving me fits. For those that don't know who Iggy, that is the name I gave my band. He is very fickle these days. I think he is going through PMS. LOL!!

Yeah my band is a HE. I first thought it was a she but some of it's habits and how it teases me implies it is a man. Bastard!! LOL!!

By the way, Lisa is off on the Laughlin River Run this weekend. She won't check in till Tuesday most likely if then. LOL!!

You are OH so close to me, maybe a 3 1/2 hour drive down I-85 from me...so tempting to take a road trip!!! If not for little ones...I'd be SO there for dinner with you! Of course I'm barely on mushies still...no fun. Maybe your next trip around I'll make it in to Atlanta. Surely you will be back in my time zone sometime. Thinking of you and your Mom.

This is the Celebrity Pharmasist Convention disquised as the 23rd Annual Love your body and anyone else's Convention. LOL!! There are spies amongst us. You just never know.

Christina dawlin: I don't have time for such nonsense as going out and actually having FUN. I am supposed to be in a session right now and I am too fried to attend. Got two more to attend before I crash tonight. They are an hour and a half long too. SIGH!! But such interesting stuff I am learning.

Ok I will share just one thing here. If you use your Microwave to cook your meats (ie: fish, chicken, beef, etc) STOP NOW!! And it isn't because of the microwave emissions either. A study was done by one of the speakers on meats and preparation of the meats and it was discovered that cooking our meats in this fashion will NOT kill parasites, bacteria, etc. The meat does not get hot enough. In one case, a fish fillet was placed in a microwave and it was shown to start jumping around. No the fish was not alive. The fish being cooked in the microwave and that process actually activated or "work up", for lack of a better word, the larvae parasites IN the fish. EWWWWWWWWWWW!!! We had this lecture before lunch. SIGH!! OK no more fish for me for awhile. Especially sushi or sashimi. Well if the sushi is frozen first then thawed then it can kill the parasites. STILL!!!!

OK enough lessons for you guys for now. MORE LATER!!

GROSS_- EWWIE! Good thing I suck at cooking all around;0) I ususally only use the mic/oven to defrost mainly & than I cook on the stove.

Also for those who still don't know- Do not use plastic wraps to cover your dishes in the mic.USE paper towels/hard plastic cover only. The gases from plastic wraps are absorbed into your foods & than consumed by you & are VERY dangerous.

Penni- Glad to hear your being a good student- than I am sure I will get the really good scoop off the boards-LOL LOL LOl

Wow, gone for a few days & there are 10 pages of new posts & no way I can read them all, but glad I found "Just Checking In." I'm alive but can't say much more than that. I'll be suffering "fun-overdose" from the Laughlin River Run for a month.

I met Daisydoodle when I got back from Laughlin & was supposed to hook up again but I haven't heard from her. She's got bouncy hair - wrong, wrong, wrong (mine is straw.) Hi Penni, hi all.

Actually, that is just an urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/toxins/plastic.htm I checked with snopes, and they said it was false. For all of you that don't know, snopes is one of the best site for busting hoaxes on the net. My other favorite is Hoaxbusters http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/ run by CIAC

eeeewww Penni!

      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!!
