Best Andy Rooney imitation…."Have you ever notice the great names that people have chosen for their screen names on this site? Well, I have …"
 
There are some great ones. And I noticed a number of trends that I though were a bit interesting. After taking a bit of a survey I came to two conclusions. First, I picked a boring name, and second, I should share some of the names I found. So here goes…
 
Common themes in the names:
Being a Mom, such as:
Momieof 3
Kalimomof 3
and the highest child count I saw "mommyto5" (or as I like to call it, "someone needs to get the cable TV repaired"
 
Being married/attached, such as: "Steveswife," etc.
 
Hobbies and loves, such as: "animal lover," "golden retriever lover," "beachlover," "candle lady," "dolphin lover," and "hulahoopaholic."
 
Ready for a change, such as
Ready2Bthin
need2change
ontheroad2thin
thinnerbeginings
4alongerlife
Ibthin
Skinny2B
 
Acknowledging large size, such as
heafty hannah
Biged
Imafatty
cutechubbygirl
phatmom
Megamom
BustNout
 
Going to look great, such as:
futureskinnyperson
soon2Bhotmomma
Fat2Fab
Ready4newme
halfthewoman
 
Members we should avoid on a bad cravings day, such as:
Stormwarning
TwistedMom
Diana Dominate
stinker

After looking at this, I wish I picked a cooler name. I have had the nickname of Special K since high school (Eddie Murphy Saturday Night Live skit about Buckwheat, and family members named after cereals - "My cousin Special K, he's retarded".... my friends thought it was hilarious and it stuck for some 35 years). So add the nickname to my birth year (very clever and unique, I know) and you get a boring screen name.
 
I wish I was:
Needs A new belt
Yum another shake!
Wannaseemy scars
realmenhavedrains
No I neverget bored of liquids
solidfoodhater
I miss my beer
gravy comes from God

So, what are your favorites that you have seen - or just want to make up.
 
Let's have some fun people.
 
I try to post a few times a week, so follow this blog, and you will know every time I post something else dumb (I mean funny ?!?)

I know we are supposed to weigh ourselves every day at the same time. Well, that's not my style. I prefer to weigh myself once a week. That way, I am surprised with the results.
 
Original Weight: 297 lbs (June 7, 2012)
Surgery Day Weight: 283 lbs (August 1, 2012)
Today's Weight: 272 lbs (August 13, 2012)
 
I was told most people lose 20 lbs in the first month. So counting from surgery date, in 12 days, I am 11 lbs lighter.
 
The food options for the next 2 months are scarce. I was planning on eating deli sliced chicken and turkey, but was informed that they are dry meats and I could end up vomiting them up. Since I am not a fan of puking, I'll stick to safer foods.
 
Here is my eating schedule:
 
Breakfast: Greek yogurt (vanilla). I rarely eat more then 3 ounces (half the container). I know I am supposed to eat an hour after I wake up and I tried that for a week, but it's not me. I was never a breakfast person so to force myself to eat something was not going over well. Now I wait until about 8:30 or 9:00. I wake up at 5:30.
 
Lunch: Fat-free refried beans or low fat refried black beans and cut green beans from a can. I love Mexican food so eating the refried beans is no big deal. I took a can and portioned it out into 1 cup plastic containers. I measure out about 1/2 a cup into each container. One can fills 4 containers. I did the same with the green beans. I never finish the green beans, so I always have leftovers.
 
Dinner: Same as lunch.
 
I was told to eat 30-20-30. Stop water intake 30 minutes prior to eating. Don't drink for 20 minutes while eating. Don't drink water for 30 minutes after I eat. Eat meals in dime sized bites.
 
My issue so far is eating slowly. I have always been a fast eater and when I don't eat slow enough, my stomach gets very bubbly and I can feel it churning. After 30 minutes, it stops.
 
I can eat the dime sized bites because I bought infant spoons at Target. That is the perfect size. I feel ridiculous, but it works.
 
I did experience severe pain in my right thigh at 2am on Saturday. It felt like someone was stabbing my thigh. I got up and walked around then got back in bed and moved my leg for a few minutes. Not sure what that was. My husband thinks it is due to vitamin deficiency, but I am drinking the required vitamins daily like clockwork.
 
Not sure I will call my doctor about this incident. I'll see if it happens again. I'm not a fan of doctors because I don't think they take the time to treat patients. They always seem to be in a hurry and never really listen. My opinion, perhaps I am jaded?
