My #1 Thing I want this time is to spend more time together chatting laughing and just being together

I really like #6 & #7 except all you with Wii's will have an edge on me cuz I don't have one - the first time I played was last weekend - I did ok on Golf - sucked big time at bowling, tennis, driving, baseball and my 5 yr GD beat me up in boxing - my wii age was 80 !!!! And we all know I am in good shape for a 54 yr old GM...

Also we need to know who's coming and when - I hope to Fly in on Thrusday 7/23 and Fly home on Monday 7/27

So I will be there for 3 days Friday Sat Sunday

I guess it would really depend when everyone is comming and leaving

Elvis would be fun for 1 day - I like him but I think one day would be enough

Beach is always good..

Toronto sounds fun too - a little shopping :rolleyes2:

I doubt I would sleep to noon - well that's not true cuz if we stay up late and drink - then I might sleep till noon...

I am agreeable to whatever the group wants ..

#1 Who's comming and what days will be you arriving and leaving - who's flying in and and what time (I gotta still make my reservations was going to do it tuesday when rates are suppose to be the very best - but got busy and forgot so will do it this tuesday for sure)

But my times I don't think will change

Arrive on 7/23 at 3:45 in the afternoon

Leave Monday 8 a.m. something..

I am going to post link on our main thread... And since Linda doesn't post - you (candice) might what to do this in an email to Linda - Me - Phyl - Kari - Steph

Probably two days would be enough for me

BEACH, sun, swimming yes.... walks... we'll see!

3) Hike to Eugenia Falls and climb the escarpment

Depends on whether or not I have knee surgery this summer

Hiking is not an option right now.. we'll see

5) Sight see for a day in Toronto

Maybe

6) Back yard relaxing, BBQ's and stuff

YES

7) Wii Fit championship trials

YES

8) sleep all morning until noon, then roll over and talk all afternoon.:rolleyes2:

Hmmm.... I can't usually sleep late any more!

But relaxing and just hangin' out sounds good, too.

A little nervous because Earl has jury duty July 13!!

I'm in for hiking, but not HAVE to.

Tell me more about this tree top walk

5) Sight see for a day in Toronto

6) Back yard relaxing, BBQ's and stuff

Those are my choices but really would do anything. However, I cannot commit until after taxes are done. I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling this summer and with the surgery Jeff might just kybosh this one. And then he might decide it's alright. I want to say definitely going, but can't right now. Sorry.

Hey that's o.k. Stephanie, I am just glad you are still considering it!!! YEAH wouldn't be the same without you there!!

Scenic Caves and tree top walk... this is a really cool place. Its up on Blue Mountain, where they found an ancient INDIAN community. The Indians made their homes out of the natual Caves that were in the side of the mountain. Now it is a tourist site where you can hike around in these (small) caves.. Its really cool... then you finish with the Tree top walk which is a Suspension bridge (up at the tops of the trees) that you walk between two mtn peaks... Wonderful view, VERY safe... I've done it before... awesome..

Its an outdoor day and not too strenuous (like I said "I" have done it before LOL)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
