    Online dating

    I have tried E Harmony but the matches they sent me last time were all over 200 miles away. I am trying long distance dating, but not that long of a distance. I think 200 miles is my limit, and it has to be 200 miles in the right direction. I go 200 miles north every month to see my kids.

    How was your 5:2 day today?

    Ok. I can't do it now cause it's almost 2 am but I will pm people who are listed as being part of the group. I will tell them we agreed long ago to hold it to 20 but if they are not going to participate, we want to fill their spot with someone who is doing 5:2 and will particiapate. My date sucked. I was not attracted to him in the least and I drove an hour there and an hour back. It would have been worth it if he looked like his picture and actually was 5' 7" like his profile said. He was shorter than me, and I am 5'2". Some day I will find someone.

    Well my date was awful. He did lie. He was shorter than me and I am 5'2". He looked weird. Beth, that's funny. I met him off Senior People Meet. I've met people from plentyoffish, and ok cupid. He is the first one I've met from a site I actually paid money to join . I wish I hadn't paid for 6 whole months. Most of the guys that wink at me, or message me look like they are 80 years old. I may be 60 but that does not mean I will settle for some old bald fat guy. There are people my age who are sill fit and entergetic. I just have to find one!
  4. Read this article http://romanoroberts...-label-lawsuit/ I love Quest bars but I am careful not to eat them often. I really never could believe that they had so few net carbs.

    I am trying to picture this guy I am meeting today. He's been sick so has had to cancel several times. I can tell he is anxious to meet today though, when I talked to him this morning.' Anyway, he is 5'7" and most short guys lie. He could be even shorter. Every guy I have ever been with has been almost 6' or over 6 '. I am only 5'2" so he will stilll be taller. I hope he is at leat 5'7" and hasn't lied. But he seems like a nice guy, and i am anxious to get his over with cause I am not into talking on the phone with him every night. I also got a mesage from someone on POF that asked for a picture and i sent him one today. I want to date lots of guys before I get stuck in another long term relationship.. Especially if they are going to be long distance things .

    Hey what do you guys think of inviting Queen of Crop into our group? I've always liked her and I think she would be a good contribution. I can go through the list of people in our group and delete anyone that I don't recognize as contributing. I will pm them first. On another note, I was 133 yesterday. So today I finally get to meet Larry who has been sick and cancelled 3 times. I talked to him this morning and he sounded anxious to meet me. I love 5:2 so much. It's so easy. I think the fasting part which makes eating breakfast much later has been the key for me. It just stopped the all night snacking completely.

    2014 - Where have all the "ole-timers" gone?

    Yes, Actually, we are part of statistics. They don't have a lot of information on people who have been sleeved very long. I can't believe in April I will be sleeved 5 years. I am still learning how to not get too full cause everything is good .Being too full is very uncomfortable. I have been doing way better and this a.m. I was 2 lbs under goal.

    I've had good success with it, but I sure had to weed out a lot of losers before I ever found anyone to date. 99.9% losers around here. But I am branching out to Eugene and Portland where there are tons more men than here. I think it's going to be harder to figure out the ones that are players though. They're more experienced in knowing exactly what women want to hear so it will get them into bed with her.

    I wish I didn't have a sex drive. That would make all of this so much easier. I went out last night and ran into someone I knew 40 years ago., He wanted my phone # but I would not give it to him. I told him just to come back next week and dance with me. He did not age well. I was kind of touched that he said "you are so beautiful" He knew my deceased husband. It's fun to have someone pay attention to me. Thank you 5:2!
  10. You can't take all of it before bed. I was told we can only absorb 500 mg and we need 1500. So 3x a day I take 500 in between meals.

    Rude awakenings....

    I've never had that happen to me since I have been sleeved, but it happened all the time when I had the band. I guess the Protonix takes care of it. If I forget to take it, I am in big trouble. My stomach hurts like hell.

    2014 - Where have all the "ole-timers" gone?

    Awe Thanks, Legal! Maybe you'll come around more and post in the vets forum. Unfortunately, I did get tired of all the newbie questions and knew that there were plenty of other people to answer them now. Now I mostly post in the vets forum and powder room. When I first came here, we all came from lap band talk. Very few people had even heard of the sleeve. I am so thankful Alex saw the future and created sleeve talk.

    It's really up to you. It's really not more than a tablespoon. I've never actually measured, but really, can you imagine if it was 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup?

    2014 - Where have all the "ole-timers" gone?

    I guess they wanted their own group where they could be administrators. I am a member of both groups but rarely post. There are plenty of other people around on there now that can answer newbie questions.

    Tiffy is doing really well. Her husband is in the Airforce so they just moved from Florida to Tennesee. She has her own face book support group for sleevers and so does Diva. Tiffy had a baby and got pregnant immediately, so she has a 13 yr old son, and 2 year old daughter and her son just turned 1. She is just thrilled to finally lose her baby weight.
  16. I went to Dr. Aceves in Mexico by myself. He has a fantastic reputaion and I wanted to be in a hospital not a recovery center. I would check him out . There are many of us on this board who have gone to him.

    Hey I was made a host but I am not sure what I am supposed to do with it, I saw in the powder room someone said a host can move a thread,. How do you do that? what else can we do?

    I don't think you have to wait at all. If it bothers you, stop. And BTW, I was given straws in the hospital. No problems with straws either.
  20. I was very lactose intollerant at first. It probably lasted 2 years. I could eat cheese and yogurt but not milk or ice cream. Now, I am not nearly as bad. I can have a small amount of milk without getting gas pains and diarrhea.

    Online dating

    We can do profile reviews here. I had Cowgirl Jane help me with mine. I have a different one on POF and I have one on a paid site, Senior People Meet. That's where I found this one guy I am supposed to meet on Friday.

    How was your 5:2 day today?

    Yes, I have tried Melatonin. Sometimes it will help me fall asleep but I don't stay asleep. Sheryl Just tell your doctor you have anxiety attacts at times and you want the medicine as needed. All those SSRI's that they push cause weight gain!

    How was your 5:2 day today?

    I have to take sleeping pills. I gave up. I spent too many years trying to live on very few hours of sleep. I was a mess. Last night I got an email from Nex and he called me sweetheart. He's never done that. It really made my heart feel warm. I am glad Allen's daughter moved away so I don't have to hear about him anymore. I m also really glad to be ending all the telephone calls from Larry. He's on antibiotics now so we can finally meet.

    How was your 5:2 day today?

    I wish I knew the answer to that. I spent 2 weeks talking to that guy on the phone and then when I went to Portland to visit my son, he totally expected me to have sex with him. After that weekend, he quit answering my texts and I only called once, but he sure didn't return that call. I am actually glad because I like these other people better, but at the time I felt ridiculous for just assuming we would see each other again.
  25. Yes, weight loss does slow down after you have lost some of the weight. You have to be dilegent with counting calories because calories sneak in that we end up not counting. I could never lose if I had more than 30-40 carbs per day, and I had to exercise and break a sweat every day.
