Don't feel bad Heather. You will fit into those boots soon. Last summer when I was in Paris, I wandered into a fancy boutique and was just browsing in the underwear section and a french woman who worked there came up to me and said, 'Madame, you are much too large for this shop." I could have died. I plan on going back when I am thin and buying a fancy bra and pair of panties while snubbing my nose at that woman.

Just remember it took a long time to put the weight on and at least now all of us are going in the right direction.

I've always had large calves. I do have a pair of knee-high boots from Torrid, if only they made ski boots!

Seriously Laurel, that's horrible! You always feel like the salespeople think that, but to have one say it! Yikes!

I wasn't the only one with boot trouble, there was an average size woman who had to return her boots because they were too small, it just sucks!

I woke up this morning with red, swollen shins. Worst ski trip ever! Even worse than the time my brother and cousin both broke their ankles and had to be dragged down the hill in a tobbagen by ski patrol. lol.

Laurel, what an a$$ that woman was. My brother has been married to a french woman for 41 years. She has always made me feel like a cow. I've been to Paris 5x in the last 10 years. The most I could buy there was shoes and handbags. Next trip.... look out! :lol:

I'm sorry she made you feel so bad.

I woke up feeling great his morning. Took a 30 minute walk, met a friend for tea, then came home to work from home today. My throat is getting progressively more sore as the day goes on. WTF is up with that?

My friend Bonnie from the Wednesday night group is coming over to walk on the treadmill with me. I'm not giving up the exercise because Fri, Sat and Sunday are my best days!

I hope you all have a great time playing together this weekend! I'll be playing with my best girlfriends to Celebrate one of them's birthday tomorrow night.

Coco... you're so close darlin. Almost there!

I went out and bought Soup today. It's tough finding lower sodium Soups. The best I could find is like 480 mg of sodium for a cup for the creamy soups. Campbells should be called on the carpet fro putting 780 mg into a cup of soup. Don't they know it leads to high blood pressure? I'm going to make home made soups and use the Trader Joe's Organic Creamy Tomato that is really low sodium.

Ash, congrats on working towards goal and getting a date!

Mo, still doing the happy dance for your Onederland.

Back to work for me.

Nicole,

You're having surgery next week and you will only be off work for a couple weeks? Was that your choice or is that what the doc ordered? In orientation I thought they said you are typically off 4 weeks.

Ali, I think everyone is different. I know that I'm hoping to go back to work five days later from my home office. That way I can nap as needed and walk around a lot. I'll be back in my office full time two weeks after my Sleeve surgery.

Kaiser will give us 4 weeks if we need/want them. I don't need a work slip so it wasn't an issue.

      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!!
