Slipped Band



Recommended Posts

Already did the States & Mexico 2 years ago for 7 weeks. I have an uncle in Florida and his 2 kids live in Manhatton and Conneticut. He used to live in Conneticut but retired with his wife to Cape Coral. I also had an uncle in Mexico but he passed away so we went to visit my aunt and the kids. Had a great time but it burnt a hole in my pocket.

Maybe somewhere in between??

Is Tahiti in the middle? Ha, ha!

I think you need a list of where the people that are willing ( Have time etc) to meet and come up with a middle ground.

I'm in CT!

Anywhere in the northeastern, U.S. is easy for me. I live 1 hr north of N.Y.C. If we were truly planning to meet overseas, I probably could manage it with a lot of notice.

Thanks Donna. It wasn't a slip after all, it was a band placement error. I had it redone on 10 July and so far all is well. I've just finished my 2 weeks of liquids and now onto the mushies stage again. I believe all is good now and hoping that there are no other problems. At least the weight is coming off again! :thumbup:

Ok....Sades...you just live to dang far. However, I have always wanted to go to Australia. I want to see a kangaroo...and a baby kangaroo and of course Koala Bears. I know that I can go to a zoo but down under would be awesome. I also want to go to see Hillsong in Sydney. It is a large church over there that has an awesome music ministry. I am the worship leader at my church and I do a lot of Darlene Z's songs; she is the worship leader for Hillsong. Anyhoo! I digress. I really would love to go to Australia not sure how to pull it off but I can dream..

If we have a few nymphs from the NE, we could at least do a regional meeting unless we have some from the south etc, then we could meet in DC or someplace.

For the NE, I would vote for Boston or someplace where we could plan some sightseeing. We could go Shopping or do a duck tour.

Newport has a lot of great shopping and sightseeing too.

Any other ideas? Tahiti and Australia sound great and really expensive!

Ah Hillsong... I'm not into it but I know there are heaps of people joining every day. My friend's daughter was a member for a few years but she's moved on. I didn't realise they were Australian. Oh well, you live and learn! :lol:

I think you guys might have to meet without me and just send the video. I will have a holiday on my own and send you the video... almost like being there! :scared2:

Australia's not expensive for me... :thumbup: :biggrin2:

No, you're right it's not! I can't even guess how much an airline ticket to AU costs or one from AU to the states! Got to be a lot!

I think a late fall weekend somewhere would be nice!

I'm actually going to be in Rhode Island the last week of August renting a house with the lady we went to the Cape with. I'll only be 25 minutes from Newport. Getting there in the fall would be pretty easy too. If you all would like to plan a fall getaway, I'm up for it!

Sorry, Sades. I would love to meet you too!!

Anyway, going for a fill today. I was able to eat way too much in Cape Cod and did. Put on 3 pounds! It should come right off with a fill and hopefully propel me into Onederland. No way am I changing my ticker to show the weight gain! I hate getting fills. I'm sore for a week and don't feel normal for about a month. I think I'll just stay on liquids and mush until the end of the Summer Meltdown!

Hi Sade

How are you doing, I hope you are well.

Thanks Marie. I'm doing pretty well now, it's been 3 weeks already since the 2nd op. I'm on the mushies stage now and have lost some more weight which is great. How are you going with your restriction?

I understand Cindy. You guys have an opportunity to do it much sooner than if we planned something.

And of course, you will come visit me. Hope the fill went well and I am keeping my fingers crossed that you don't have to many issues. I haven't had a fill in almost 3 months and still get stuck daily. I don't know when it will loosen up but I couldn't eat more than 3 bites of breakfast..did alright for lunch and had trouble with dinner. Finally gave up and ate an ice cream sundae...I know it was bad for me but I was hungry and it went down smooth. I've gotta get rid of the ice cream from this house...dang it.

      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!!
