LMAO!!!

My new idea. I could wear my underwear two sizes to big to my doctors appointment ...........and when I get on the scale to weigh before they have time to comment about 12 pounds I could saw "oh great my underwear is just way to big nowdays and keeps falling down!!" Or I could wear my size 22's and safety pin them together and see if anyone comments on them!! Thinking, thinking.................subtle but effective!! LOL

Oh the stress is getting to me now!! I am not loopy on mophine this time so I won't be able to pull off some the crazy stuff I did pre and post op without looking like a totally loony!!

I would like to subtlely make my point that I have lost inches not pounds!!

Tina we can trade books. I'll dig out what I got in the recipe box and gather up what i can find that's appropriate. If I can figure out how to email them to you i will do it that way.

I like the measuring tape Idea - wear it around your waist like a belt - LOL. Being weight loss specialists I'd think they would understand the importance of measurements. Don't stress, the scale with drop down in no time.

I'm telling you I can't cook! The faux baked ziti was a fluke.

Sorry Nicole, i won't be there! I'm 1/2 Italian (Genovese) too and 1/2 mut (Sicilian).

Tina, the other stuff you heard is, most likely, true - LOL! Speaking of nationalies, where are you from? I thought i detected a slight accent in your voice.

Ok I will make a belt of braided measuring tapes and stylishly tie them around my waist!! Thing is I am crazy enough to do it just as a practical joke..............

Actually I am gonna talk to Dr. Baggs about the inches thing. I know they get it...................see what he says.

He is a very funny guy and that just eggs me on sometimes!! I don't think I would try or say some on the things I do with Dr. Fisher!! LOL.

I hear Italians make better lovers!!! :-) But shhhh........you didn't hear it from me!!

I am scottish american by blood and greek american by marriage or divorce whatever suits you!! I lived in Greece for awhile and was married to greek guy so I adopted that culture and country. My daughter is greek to the core so I am greek by default!! LOL

AH I can cook some mean greek food but it is all high fat being I am vegetarian...............maybe I will try to revise that to low fat sometime!!

The accent is all me. Funny you say that because everyone does but I was born and raised in California except for living in Greece for awhile.

OMG Tina you have me totally busting up! I LOVE the idea of wearing the measuring tape like a belt, then going, "oh gee, I wonder what this is for!' Since I am always the wacko one there, be nice to have some other zanies around there!! LOL, keep em coming laughter burns lots of calories! :-)

I can't go tomorrow, Tuesdays are Board of Supervisors & I am usually presenting so they are pretty much out . . . the Tuesday I got there a few weeks ago was great tho, you guys are SO much fun!!!

They measured us at the beginning & end of our 14-week class in Santa Rosa, I lost 5 freakin' inches off my waist in the time! Nothing so dramatic since, dagnab it . . . .

Rosey ol' pal, good to hear from you!! Wish I had made the meeting you had, dagnab it again . . .I want to meet you! As I was hiking up hills Saturday, giving thanks that my body is working the way He intended for it to again, it occured to me that this whole time that I was thinking He had let me down with this body, in fact the whole time, it was I letting Him down by not doing what I needed to do to keep my body healthy . . . lots of factors in that, of course . . .and how blessed I am to have this band, as it has allowed me to come back to health and realize it, and . . . . anyways as I was walking, I thought I had to tell you that! So there you have it :lol:

LOL Tina, no I can't see us having nearly as much fun with Dr. Fischer. While I agree that the braided tapes is TOTALLY stylish, I would implore you to not bring up the fill video just in case he asks you what you thought of it, and you have to answer honestly . . ay yi yi, my bad!!!

Hey you know what would be totally cool, you can make the braided belt & then post a pic & instructions and we can all make them too, wear them everytime we go in, now that's RIGHT up my weird alley!!

      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.

      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!!
