Hi there everyone; took me a while to read through the posts! I love all the chatter. Great pics of everyone from the weekend, looks a great day. Tamra your little one is adorable.

John, thanks for the heads up on the show...I am gonna watch it but I have my dvr set in case I fall asleep.

I saw the shrink today and since I saw only 2 people in the room she passed me to move on...lol I didn't tell her you guys gave me the answer to that question. hahahaha

I was bummed because I didn't get to see Liz today, they told me they would try but come to find out she's only there on mon/wed so I don't know why they said I would see her anyway but oh well. I have an apt with her on april 12th.

Laurel, how you doing? hope your feeling good and the broth is helping your hunger.

oh ya, lost another 5 lbs so down 25 since 1/26/10! Yippe.

My goal for the week is 10,000 steps every day. So far I've got 3 days in a row! If only I'd brought my pedometer with me on our walk instead of leaving it in the car...

I had an awesome weekend. I left Pat's house and checked in to my hotel and hung out for a bit. Then I went to the factory stores. I bought an insulated bag for my crock pot. Lol. That's so like me... I spent more time back at the hotel hanging out. I watched a Cake Boss marathon. I'd never seen the show (don't have cable) and I hate that guy. He is so annoying AND he made a cake for a gang. REALLY? REALLY? So irritated by that. ... Moving on, my friend and I went to a party at his neighbor's apartment. Some kid's 21st b-day. I felt so old! I never went to college parties when I was in college. There was a girl there who was so excited to meet my friend she sqealed "OMG, You're like a celebrity! I can't believe I'm meeting you". She was cracking me up. Later in the evening she was asking people if they were gay/straight, and turned to me and asked "are you a lesbian, gay, straight, a man?" (Yeah, she'd been drinking) when I answered "Straight woman" she said "ME TOO! OMG, we're twins... but you're 26". Apparently after I left she went and cleaned my friend's kitchen.

I think the lesson I learned, is that you can have a clean kitchen but you have to recruit at college parties.

On Sunday we had Breakfast in Cotati and then went up to Armstrong Woods and did a nice walk up there. So nice. I even got a chance to work out at my hotel's gym Sunday morning too!

I'm rambling. That means it's time for bed. Goodnight!

John I forgot to answer you:

When I talked to Robin she told me at this point, measuring vs weighing, she told me to WEIGH my food like I have been. She said she tried to change the binders as much as she could but missed alot. Based on me loosing 18 lbs in the 6 weeks she told me keep up the good work and to keep on doing what I am! So Pat, weighing your 3 oz of meat is FINE!!

So did you find out how much the veggies and the fruit should be - like maybe 1 or 2 oz?

      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!!
