I am here. I was gone for the weekend.

WasA, have you moved off liquids yet?

My dad signed himself out of assisted living after I sold everything in his house. He is now moving into senior apartments. I give up.

Ohhh noo.... I'll call you in the next day or so.

Yep, I'm on soft foods. I can't remember, somewhere in the first few days of July I can have adult food vs. baby food. ;o)

Yay for soft foods!

yes, please call, that would be great. Late evenings is best. You know I am up until 12:30 am every night. Did I tell you that I have my tickets to come there from 8-20 until 8-30? I am excited.

Oh hell yes! I was testing out that staple line.

I heard a couple of pops and rips, but it's okay. I can eat more now!

For sure, snowbird! Where do you stay when you are in AZ. I love it now that I have friends there, since I go there quite often.

I met a couple other bandsters who actually lives close to my dad.

We have a house about 15 miles west of Surprise. I'm going down to check on my mom, who is in assisted living in Surprise. DH is staying up here in Washington, so I will be by myself. Where are you staying?

My dad lives in Mesa. That's pretty far from Surprise.

We used to live in Gold Canyon, and believe it or not, I still drive to Superstition Springs Mall to get my hair done. So lunch would definitely not be a problem. Have you ever been to the Landmark Restaurant in downtown Mesa? It has always been one of my favorites.

The Landmark is where WasA wanted to have lunch.

Superstition Springs mall would be a great place to meet. I go there all the time. Last time Wasa and I met at Arizona Mills. Do you know where that is? That didn't make the drive as far for her.

BBK, you're very special! You replaced apple lady!

I would love to come down to your world. It's always been my dream to go to Australia.

THAT is the very restaurant I was telling Denise about. I really like that place, casual food in a nice restaurant. Great salad bar too!

Sure, I know where AZ Mills is. I could meet at either the Landmark or at AZ Mills. Superstition Springs is a lot further east than the Landmark, so it would be out of the way for me. I checked my flight reservations, and I'll be in Arizona 7/12-7/19 and again 8/20-8/27.

I've been taking friends and family to the Landmark since before I ever moved to Arizona. Great place for lunch or dinner.

      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!!
