PJTP...

OK - Speech over - back to the real stuff....

Congrats, Tap! You're a 'video star'! :scared2:

Heart - you are not having good vehicle karma; I'm with you, don't travel tonight just in case.

I agree - good idea not to test the vehicle karma universe...

Ebony - How are you doing today?

Hangin' in there...had a teary morning at home, but by the time I reached work, I was calm, cool and collected. Of course my band is tighter than tight from the stress, but that's something only I know...

Slim? Sick? Kat? Fanny? KC? Suzy? CC?....

Come back, come back...and bring a friend or two!

I agree...missing everyone not here at the moment...:w00t:

*waves* Hi all... well Box Mountain is slowly diminishing but still a long way to go. I had to go out yesterday and buy contact to cover the pantry shelves because they were all grotty, even after cleaning. It's just basic white, but at least I could put my food away. The pantry is quite literally THREE times the size of my previous one, which was packed up to the gills, so it's been wonderful being able to fit everything in with room to spare. I don't like the kitchen cupboards though - the doors are too narrow and they go back way too far, so hard to get stuff into/out of and easy to lose things in the back. Nevermind though - the kitchen is on the list for remodelling so it's only temporary. It's not at the top of the list though, so it will probably be a year or more before we get to it. I'm loving the size and space of everything else, from the bedroom to the laundry linen closet, it feels like everything has tripled in size :scared2:

And did I mention I have horses over the road? HORSES!!! I won't get over that thrill for a very long time :w00t:

I've not gone anywhere, just running out of time! I move around and place a post or 2 a day is about all, do the same on FB---and thats it!

With work and softball, and kids and grandkids, and hauling wood, and winterizing our house, and the parents houses....we have not slowed down. This weekend, we have decided to be lazy! We are going to a movie, and gonna sleep in. I am so excited it is pathetic!!!

Will find time to check in, it is gonna be harder to get rid of me than you think!!!! LOL

I wish we could attract some of the 'veteran' PJTP-ers back, and recruit a few more like minded...maybe over time...

Ebony sorry to hear that Jillian is still putting your stomach through a rough time; push the fluids, and try to relax this weekend.

HORSES!! Whoo hoo. Better than snakes in my opinion!!!

It's a wonderful feeling to have that much room, isn't it? Your kitchen reno will make it perfect, but you can wait and take the time to design just the perfect one now.

Snow. It is too early for me to get back into the snow shovelling routine. Not in mid-October! November, yes k. I don't like it, but I acept it, but NOT IN OCTOBER!!!.:wink2::eek::w00t:

Ok you may now resume normal operations.........

Happy Friday!

Hey y'all I am running late for work. Nothing I wanted to wear worked! The clothes I have been wearing are getting baggy (YAY) but the smaller size seems tight----so I tried and tossed out a few things, so now I am short on time!!

Game last night was rescheduled, neither of our teams had enough players to show up. It was an early game, and we had too many people still at work. And one of our guys (along with his wife) had just had their 4th son.....so we thought we would have to forfeit, but they did not have enough either, so we rescheduled with the agreement of the league pres and 2 blues who agreed to work the game. What a pain!

Will be calling g4e this weekend and will update what is happening. I have not heard anything, and I know she should have got her package, so maybe she is out of town or down from testing. They may have already started her radiation. Will let ya know.

Gotta run, see ya later!!!

PJTP...Happy Friday, everyone!

I saw snow last night too, Tap - and I agree, I am SO not ready! :w00t::eek::eek:

"Jillian" and I are still feuding - dinner last night was an exercise in patience, praying and PB'ing...on liquids today...

It's cold, windy and RAW outside...my office buildings' heat isn't working to capacity, and I'm freezing. :wink2:

It's gotta get better, right?

At least tonight will be fun - my local NAACP branch is having their Freedom Fund dinner tonight at Foxwoods Casino - should be fun to see everyone. I don't get to attend meetings much anymore because of my work schedule, and most of them don't know I was banded and have lost all this weight. Will be interesting...

One or two people know - most notably, the family of my daughter's best friend. The mom and one of the daughters have had bypasses, and they've seen me out and about, but unless my "adopted" daughter told them about my band, they don't know what I did to lose the weight. And I've thought about it - if they ask, I'll tell 'em. It might help someone who feels as I once did that they can't find any other way to lose the weight. Maybe I can give someone hope...

One side benefit of Jillian and I not playing well together is that I've lost 3 pounds this week...not exactly the way I wanted to lose it, but I'll take it! Closing in on leaving the 190's behind...yay! :scared2:

Hi Ebony - not the way to lose weight, though. I really hope Jillian loosens a bit for you.

Enjoy to dinner tonight, and be prepared for the jaws to drop as they see the 'melting Ebony'. It takes courage to decide to tell people, just be prepared for the range of responses from "WOW Tell me about it", to the 'You did what? Don't you know you have ruined your body', etc...

Have a great time - forget work and relax!! HUGS.

Add me to that - please tell G4E she's iin my prayers and thoughts...

I agree - we've had a serious talk this morning and she's agreed to cut me a little slack...as long as I behave, that is! :eek:

I actually am really looking forward to it...haven't seen most of these folks for quite a while and I do miss them. We've had our ups and downs (the organization and I) but for the most part, I do like them.

Hoping for a wonderful event - side benefit - the keynote speaker is from my hometown of Detroit! I get to hear something more about "home"...though I understand it's really tough there now with the state of the auto industry...:w00t:

Hi. No real news. I am in a weightloss stall. I had a fill on Monday. I am trying to ease into real food since I also had the braces adjusted this week. DH wrecked his car (he's ok). His mother seems to no longer have a use for him since he no longer has a car. That about sums it up.:frown:

What's new with you?

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
