Has anyone thought of a name for us August girlies? (and maybe guysies!) I am hoping to have my surgery this summer, so I'd love to start thinking of something cute if you haven't already!

I just think that everyone should have a chance for some imput. Especially since we are starting to get more people to join the board. If it was sept. I'd say, of course I'll go with what the group has already choses. but since it is july, I think anyone who wants to suggest a name should.

Can we set a date for suggestions and then set up a pole? It can end say, Aug. 1, and whatever has the most votes wins? What does everyone think??

By the way, when you say 5 little monkeys, do you mean children or are they real monkeys? I only ask because when I was a kid my Dad had a real monkey......it was cool!

moonandstars, I do like your banner for the August 08 slimmers, pretty stylish looking, your good at making those. Me, I can't even figure out how to add my ticker thingy.............I think I'm going to work on that now, wish me luck!

It's my five kiddos! They are climbers, jumpers, etc....they so remind me of the 5 monkeys jumping on the bed!!:thumbup:

I love your banner! You are very talented and your signature is neat too. I find out my surgery date Thursday. It will be the last of July or the first part of August. I have subscribed to this thread in case it is the latter.

MomTo5, an end date of Aug 1 may be too long. The July Butterflies were using their banner at the end of June and sending well wishes to all who had subscribed on the date of their surgery in July using their banner. Maybe an end date of July 23 and a banner up by the 25th?

P.S. I really like August Slimmers and the banner.

Can I put in my 2 cents and suggest August Trimmers? I figured that with the measuring tape we can kind of capture the idea of trimming things.

I like the idea of a vote. I don't have any suggestions for names I'm just really excited to be part of the August group. Tonni I have 4 kids and I would really like to be a hottie again! :redface:

      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!!
