Hello Ladies, I really enjoyed meeting all of you and hope to see all of you again. The outing was very informative and very warm. Dr. V returns on Tuesday and I hope to get a date some time next week. (Maybe your old date Dianne - smile) I worked late on Monday and couldn't join you Dianne for yoga. Hope to see most of you on Sept 19th & 24th. Until then, Chao

o0o .. are you ladies meeting in Charlotte? If so, if you have anything planned around the holidays (Christmas), I'd love to meet you all while I'm visiting the south :D

Oh, and if you still need help resizing/posting the pics, just give me a yell (or shoot me an email - jess@jessluv.com). Takes like 3 minutes once ya get used to it :(

I'm sure we could arrange a meeting for those that can come while you are here Parvati. We have only been planning one month ahead at the moment, for our informal meetings. The meeting at the bariatric center though I think are the 3rd tuesday of the month or something like that. Someone better organized than me can confirm that though, but I think Angela said there wouldn't be one of those meetings in December.

Parathi it would be wonderful for you to join us. I am sure that we could schedule our Dec meeting around the time you are going to be here. We normally don't set the next months date until we meet so I am sure everyone would love to have you join us.

Starr it was so good to finally meet you. I can't wait to go through the journey with you. We will all be here for you.

Anyone having any luck with the picture? Melissa how is yours or Dianne did your daughter having any luck? You can email to me, I have tons of software on my PC for photos....I love photography.

Hope everyone had a great labor day. We are at the beach and enjoying some time away!!!!!

Yay! Pavarathi can come in December!!! Yes, let's plan around you...we can be flexible!!!

Dianne, you'll be coming up 485, then go South on I-85 for a few miles to the Harris Blvd Exit. I'm pretty sure you go under the bridge, then exit and circle up to the road and head left from the highway...know what I mean? Then cross over 85 and go down the road (Harris) and you will see Chili's and Fridays on the right. Easy cheesy. Did we ever figure out which one? Did we pick Fridays since Dianne hates Chili's? ;) Really, Fridays is great. I think I asked for a poll, maybe on another thread? I have forgotten. But that's how you get to Fridays. Did I get it right, ladies?

      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!!
