About the ice cream, This is how I am. I have had ice cream that went bad. Mind you, I din't know ice cream could go bad, but there you are.

Ice cream equals love to me. (Thanks Dad!) But I guess I only need love in small bits because I'm perfectly happy with a small coffee cup of it. And part of it is my hoarding thing. Remember, I'm the one who's chocolate problem is dust. (drives my family bonker)

Nope, the PB was a quick one. The day before I'd had one of the major slimes that went on for hours, and it's a good thing I had an empty Water bottle in the car! Sunday it was over pretty fast, but I had to use drano on the sink! ewww!

I did the foil packet thing in my hair at the beauty school. I had darker streaks put into my hair, and the red brighted. Today, I got to a professional who will put in some really really bright streaks. Last summer I had "corvet red" and I'm going to do that, plus hopefully some deep purple

LAUGHING AND POINTING! I was in the same boat as you before I PB'd. I just didn't feel like part of the club. Don't you miss being a loner now?

Last night my husband mentioned the forbidden words - ice cream. Yes, the stuff can go bad even when it's brand new. The stuff probably melted and refroze a couple times before it hit the shelves. It was grainy and disgusting. Boo hoo, I didn't finish the entire 3 pints. Dogs don't mind tho.

I give Astro cheese, it helps buffer his asprin when he doesn't/won't eat. Just makes him a little gassy, but no worse than the frozen broccoli I give him.

      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!!
