Tap walks in, yells 'hello, hello'...hearing nothing but her echo, she leaves again (sad and dejected)....

Awww...Taps! :scared2:

I was studying...I have two classes this term that are promising to cut WAY down on my free time...the first is called "Big Ideas in Science" and our professor seems to think that two hours a day is okay study / review time! :huh2::eek: Hello - some of us have FULL-TIME JOBS!

The other class is Organizational Behavior - again, heavy reading and lots of interactive stuff I have to do for class. **heavy sigh**

On top of that, I've got laundry to fold, I need to wash and set my hair, and I've still got clothes to wash...

Looks like I'll be up for a while yet, but probably not on the computer...sorry I missed ya, girlfriend! :cursing:

MOrning all!

Plain - It is still so far down on my list of movies, I doubt it will ever bubble to the top.

Ebony - Big Ideas in Science sounds like a fun course! Organizational behaviour - bleck!

Kat - thanks for the G4E update...it makes my flabby skin issues seem somewhat selfish.:cursing: Sorry your work day sucked...

Well, time to be working....although I don't wanna. I don't wanna!

I'm off for my pre-op visit with my plastic surgeon, to finalise the details of what I'm having done. I only have 6 weeks to go now, so getting really excited!! I've lost even more weight off my boobs, so I'm going to ask him about some small implants. I don't want little boobs!! I still want my honkers (would really feel something was missing without them), I just want them to sit up where they belong again, instead of these deflated old balloons flapping about on my chest :lol: *shudders*

Morning!

Fanny - how exciting; keep us posted on the decisions and progress.

As for me, it's a good thing I buy cleaners, toilet paper, and kleenex in bulk - my mother is visiting and she and DH are both sick - nausea and headaches....I'm exhausted from cleaning up, and doing laundry. I'm taking today off to tend to the sick and maybe, just maybe, catch up on my sleep....

Well according to the doc, they won't be small implants!! I told him I wanted my E cups back again (only sitting in the right place) and to achieve that, I'm going to have to go for the 400ml implants. I "tried them on" inside my bra and OMG they looked HUGE! Not 100% sure I want to go that big, but it did only properly fill up my baggy bra and that was what I asked for. It's weird to think that when I bought this bra, it was way too small and gave me that horrid double-boobage line. I had to wait a couple of months after buying them before I could wear them and now the cups are only half full *sigh* Not buying new bras at this point though - will wait till after the op and get refitted properly.

There is no way I would go back to being as big as I was before. I have suffered from some drooping, but not as bad as I had worried about---so sticking with them as they are!!! A DD is more than enough....is hard enough to buy that cup size in a smaller band size. I can find tons of 40-48 DD but try dropping below the 40 and they become scarce.

Is another rainy morning---kind of hoping the rain continues today----we have another late game tonight, I would not cry over it being rescheduled!!!

I happened to look down, as I typed, and I sure do need to do my nails!!! Scary!

Better get things ready to go. Will see y'all soon!

PJTP...Hi Everyone! :thumbup:

PJTP: Ebony, that soy Protein powder is called "Naturade". They have it in vanilla and chocolate (I prefer vanilla for my 'berry' smoothies). I get it at Sam's Club

Thanks, Plain - I'll pick some up this weekend to try. Definately the vanilla for me...

So good to hear things are moving forward for you, Fanny! I was considering doing the surgery this year, but after a consultation with a surgeon, I've decided to hold off. Mostly because of finances - there just isn't enough in the budget right now with college bills, and my DD comes first with me. Plus, this will give me a chance to see what I can do with my workouts to continue re-shaping my body, and I'm still about 25 lbs from my goal weight. My DH actually admitted he was worried about me possibly having surgery this year because he's afraid I may be changing too much too fast for my body to handle it. Funny what they will admit when they think it's "safe" to do so...

Hi again! Have fun at the fundraising event - and have a wonderful dinner!

Enjoying the relatively mild weather we've gotten the past couple of days, hoping it goes through until the weekend. Nursing a sore right hip the last two days - think I overdid it just a tad on my 5k, but I've been walking so I don't get too stiff. My DH teasingly says it's arthritis - I'm hoping not! I think I'm too young (at 46) to be dealing with that...

Still getting smaller (not lighter, but smaller) and it's kinda nice, but kinda weird at the same time. Work has been quiet, which is very nice. School has started up again and is keeping me busy.

DH is running for the school board in our community and that's keeping the entire family busy. Whew! I think I'm tired just typing this, let alone living it! :crying:

So are you reconsidering the size? I'd love to have 'the girls' hoisted back where they belong, but that isn't going to happen - Tummytuck is a more pressing need - and that's at least 1 year away.........

I know what you mean on the bra shopping...when I find one that fits and is on sale, I buy multiple..

Nails - you mean chipped, splitting, uneven, different lengths isn't the way they should be???

Did you enjoy the fundraiser?

Glad to hear that work has been quiet; keep your head down and your eyes and ears open for new opportunities to get outta that toxic environment!

I hear you on the PS and delaying due to $$. How do you fell about DH's comment???

OK people, it's Friday - let's just get through it, so that we can enjoy our weekends!

The inventor of coffee should be given a Nobel prize (posthumously, obviously).

Why do I live where there is even the remote possibility of snow - let alone the annual deluge?

How much money will I REALLY need to retire and maintain (make that, improve) my lifestyle and afford lots of international travelling??

In the debate between lower cost or going 'green', which is the right choice? Why can't it be both 'green' AND less expensive?

PJTP...I'm back! :closedeyes:

I feel you on that - I want the 'girls' hoisted back up higher again, but for me as well, the tummy is the priority. I think I'd drop another clothing size or two if I didn't have the 'pouch' sitting in front of me!

I know what you mean on the bra shopping...when I find one that fits and is on sale, I buy multiple..

I've done that too - but my size keeps changing! A couple of the DDD's I've bought recently are already getting baggy. Not a pretty thought...I don't want to lose much more in the chest.

Nails - you mean chipped, splitting, uneven, different lengths isn't the way they should be???

ROFLMBO - my hands resemble that remark as well.

Glad to hear that work has been quiet; keep your head down and your eyes and ears open for new opportunities to get outta that toxic environment!

Absolutely - still looking closer to home...

I hear you on the PS and delaying due to $$. How do you fell about DH's comment???

I was a bit taken aback...I thought he'd be gung-ho on the subject of surgery, but I also think he's a bit worried about the physical effects of so much rapid change all at once. He definately enjoys having a new, slimmer wife and the extra attention I'm getting. He's always been a bit competitive, and he says now he's gotta step HIS game up to make sure I stay put. I'm not opposed to that, but I don't want him to become paranoid and strange about it...

OK people, it's Friday - let's just get through it, so that we can enjoy our weekends!

Weekends are MADE for enjoying!

Even though I don't drink a LOT of coffee, I have to agree...sometimes nothing else will do!

ROFLOL...

How much money will I REALLY need to retire and maintain (make that, improve) my lifestyle and afford lots of international travelling??

I'd like to know the answer to that - I'd love to travel more!

In the debate between lower cost or going 'green', which is the right choice? Why can't it be both 'green' AND less expensive?

Agreed! When I was researching a new car, I looked at the Toyota Prius - but it was SO much more expensive, I just couldn't afford it. I did get something more efficient than my old car, but I wish I'd been able to go the full distance so to speak...

NSV...sitting at my desk with my legs crossed at the knee and my leg isn't going to sleep. It's actually COMFORTABLE to sit like this...:)

Never thought I'd be able to say that...I do :lol: my band!:w00t:

Noticing that the room is empty, Tapshoes takes centerstage, grabs the mic and belts out show tunes, and then dressed in a killer danceoutfit, dances up a storm the likes of which haven't been since since Gene Kelly was in his prime.

Exhausted, but ecstatic, Tapshoes, wipes her brow, and leaves the stage................

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
