I'd kill this summer for a pair of great legs!

BG - you have inspired me to have a new goal, by next easter I want to post a picture of me in a playboy bunny outfit! :(

I'm holding you to that (because I know you CAN do it!).

LOL...Blonde=formerly, now from a bottle (I don't even want to know), Smile= my dentist and Zoom teeth whitening, Body= a work in progress (aka LB)...for that kind of cleavage=cutlets (and not the chicken kind).

Welcome back, BG !! And everyone else that took off for the 4th !! Hope you guys had a good wkend !! Its been kinda quite around this place for the past few days ! We live on a hiway that goes to the lake, about 20 miles, and starting Thursday night, it was a steady stream of traffic. There were campers, boats, seadoos, 4wheelers, bicycles, motorcycles, anything to do with camping, goes by our house. I like to set on my front porch and watch them go by and say "one of these days" !! We did the camping thing one year on the 4th when the kids were little, and we were stacked in the camping grounds like cord wood !! So from then on, we would just sit and watch everyone leave, then we would go and have the whole place to ourselves !!

I had a fill Thursday, so I was on liquids for 48 hrs. That grilled turkey hot dog, Sat. night was WONDERFUL !!! I have some resritiction, just hope it will last for a while !! Well, I will catch you guys later, again WELCOME BACK !!!

LMAO love the bunny pics!!!!

Hey guys sorry havent posted in a while - was away visiting family. Frustrating - I've seen both sides of the family and no one has noticed anything. I know it's just 32 pounds, but heck I thought maybe something. Discouraging to think Im so overweight that 32 isnt noticeable. I know, not a good thought to think.

Gonna keep plugging away, would of never gotten to lose this amount if it wasnt for the band. This is better than nothing.

32 pounds is definately something to be proud of don't let them discourage you. People will notice sometimes it takes a couple of times.

I was working this week at one of our other facilities, mind you I was there a couple weeks ago and ahven't lost much since then but a guy I see everytime I'm there looked at me and commented on my weight loss.

Hang in and keep up the good work...

BG, I like your new pic! Is that you? I like the bangs. I'm turning 30 in December and I'm starting to get some grey hair, so I'm going to get a new do and start highlighting it or highlighting. I'd love to see how you do your bangs! I currently don't have any, but want some sweepy side ones.

It took 40lbs before anyone noticed my loss...hang in there, it will happen!

Oh man, I just got the hair recolored and highlighted and I whacked too much off the bangs and they're driving me nuts...sweepy bangs are so much better because you can get them out of your face if you need to (pin them up or to the side). They were past my nose in the avatar pick (me watching the parade on the 4th...bigger pic HERE) and now they're just over my eyes (but that's if I pull them straight, need to let them grow again). DD has the sweepy ones too...she does them to her cheekbone and has them angle cut at the edges. Can't wait to see the new do!

Paxie. 32 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. The ones who don't notice 32 down, would be the first to notice 10 up.

Keep "down" the good work!!!!

Had my next fill today! 6cc's in the band, so she added 1 more... now at 7cc. Hopefully this will be a little bit closer! They are going to stop doing a full cc pretty soon. I got a nurse that didn't do as good of a job, which kinda stunk. Also I had a low platelet lever, so hopefully everything is ok with that. I'm going to call my regular doctor to make sure everything is good.

Found out today that I should have called the Dr's office the same day I had my first fill (5/21) to make my next appt for 6-8 weeks out. Well, now I have to wait until 8/20. Luckily, I don't have a hunger problem.

Question - Is a fill every 6-8 weeks for a year the norm???

      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!!
