Oh come on...who can resist a fried twinkie or a fried Peanut Butter and jelly sandwhich....lol. Ok, ok...that stuff is obviously what made me fat in the first place. Yeah we are staying totally away from that side of town, those OU folks are too crazy for me. :-0 Hook'em Horns!!!

We won't be going to the fair this year...I need to give my chitlins one more year to mature and then we will probably tackle it next year, when my hubby fianlly gets off on the weekend.

Ahhh, a walk down memory lane. I went into downtown Dallas one Texas/OU weekend to pick up a friend from the bus station. What a wild trip! Thankfully, it was late afternoon, not nighttime, but the streets were blocked and the crowds were on their way in. That's as close as I ever got.

But the Texas State Fair? Oh, yeah baby! I had a hottie cowboy boyfriend at the time and we went two years in a row. That was back when I didn't eat. I was more likely to succomb to the Cheesesteaks and Cotton candy than to the Corn Dogs. I'm sure I ate. But I'm sure I would have eaten lots more had I not been there with him.

Know what? Back when I lived in Carrollton and dated that fella, I weighed 120-125 pounds. This was in 1988-89-90 I think. Geez. Another life, and altogether another body.

Wow, thanks for the trip back! Ya'll have fun!

I'm probably skipping the fair this year b/c I'm still sore and I can't walk that far (only one week out of surgery!) but if I could I'd eat a key lime pie dipped in chocolate on a stick - the best thing ever!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh! I forgot about the fried twinkie I had last year....Delicious....but I can resist. Now, the Fletcher's Corndog is a different thing. I was going to just eat a couple of bites and then let my hubby have the rest. I hope I can follow through!!!

I survived the State Fair last Saturday, during the Texas/OU game! Yes, I ate a Fletcher's Corny Dog! I have only had one fill, my choice, and I was able to eat the whole corny dog. It was great! Here's the upside: previously, I would have had that PLUS maybe another! I also had a taste of my daughter's cotton candy, some french fries, and part of a Slurpee. That sounds like a lot, but not when you compare it to what I used to eat! It set back my weight loss for sure, though! We had a great time, rode lots of rides, and watched a miniature donkey and surrey barrel race! Where else are you gonna find THAT, besides the State Fair?

I went to the State Fair of Texas today (last weekend it's in town). I'm on my pre-op diet with Dr. Benevides. Only Proteins, vegetables and Protein Shake. I managed to have the following: bottle of Water, one Dolmas (greek food - meat wrapped in grape leaves), skipped the pita bread AND THAT WAS IT! Having been there 6 hours, I was really proud. I'm really ready for this Thursday for surgery!

OK, for the first time in 22 years I did not go to the State Fair!!!

Snd not just because I would not be able to eat a corny dog, the only food Iever eat there. But mostly because I could not afford ittheis year. Next year I will repent and go twice to make up for this year!! haha

But oh how I missed myfoot long Fletchers Corny dog!!!

LOL....ewwww...I haven't quite got my mind around chewing something and then spitting it out. but with this liquid diet, I just might have to start considering it!!! ;-)

Ok ok ok i will admit i am a fan of chewing and then spitting it out. I do once in a while... I feel guilty but i do. When i know that last bite is going to get me sick and uncomfortable i chew untill im tired of it and then spit with out swallowing. ITs great.. lol...

      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!!
