Lee Anne-- I'm glad your doing well, I will be thinking about you.

Amy-- Come on second fill!

I am through whining about my rent houses, sometimes it is just overwhelming.

I ran for 20 min. straight this morning and finished Week 5 on C25K! Here is a pic of me when I finished.

I hope everyone has a great day! And weekend!

BIG NSV! I had to share! I just hit the mother load of jeans I had stashed away in a drawer! I was going through the closet and tried on a pair of jeans I got off e-bay a couple months ago. I wanted to see how long before I could zip them ...... they fit! They are size 13 cruel girl jeans. I thought I might have a couple size 13s stashed away someplace. I started looking through drawers and found several drawers full of my all time fav brand (Rockies), but they were all size 11. Then I hit the drawer of size 13s! Rockies! They are in the washer right now! whoo hooo!

Thats so awesome! Congrats! I can't wait till I'm getting into MUCH smaller jeans! :thumbup:

Fill #2 went very well. My surgeon put in 2ccs but that made me too tight so she took out .6cc and that gave me good restriction :) I now have a total of 2.9ccs in my band. She said apparently i get pretty tight with small fills so I'm guess that will be a good thing in the long run. :tt2:

Why don't you just say what you were thinking? "A guy that won't disappear for a month or 2 to go play stupid games on Facebook."

I'm experiencing an NSV right now and just noticed.

I am walking around with a bath towel wrapped around my waste and can't remember the last time I could not only wrap it completely around but also do that little tuck to make it stay up.

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday to all!!! Yay.

Great on the NSVs! I love those!

Michael, WELCOME!!! Raiders..BOO :thumbup:

I was in stuck city this week. Drat. Got stuck 3 times! Was in a hurry at lunch the other day with all my managers. I was facilitating a meeting for them, and we were running short of time at lunch.< /p>

So, I was of course, trying to unwisely cram in the last few bites. It came back to bite me in the butt!

So, I did the urp into a public toilet, did not have the time to drop the a$$-gasket into the Water first, and you guessed it, splash into the EYE!! WAH!!!!

At least none of the managers was a witness to the event or even aware that I was stuck for that matter, so I am thankful for that!

But I did get to go to Palm Springs for the meeting for a few days, that was fun, and had some good bonding time in the evenings with them.

Except now there is photo evidence of me doing Karaoke to Tequila Sunrise...OY!

Ok, I can sing fairly well, but Karaoke isn't easy, and that song sucks! But it was fun. Karen can probably attest to the fact that it takes MUCHO practice to sing a song, not just stand up and read the words, even if you know the tune.

Well, I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Welcome Mike! Not much to report here. The scale is moving again so that always makes me happy. I need to update my ticker. I read this thread all the time but have little happening right now. I can't exercise (walk, etc.). And right now the pool is being worked on. Swimming is the best exercise for me. I need total knee replacement on both knees. I do daily chores and household chores and garden lightly but not much activity. Just waiting until I hit under 200 and then they can begin. One knee at a time. I am not looking forward to this as I've heard the recovery is a bear! Only 25 more pounds to go....Getting nervous about it and have probably already whined about it on this thread before but it's on my mind a lot. So thanks for listening again. I started a 2000 piece puzzle today of Van Gough's Starry Starry Night. I must be insane! There are pieces everywhere and it will probably take me the entire summer to complete. Never done a 2000 piece before so it should be interesting. Besides that nothing is new...just felt like writing to you all. Lots of hugs your way...Dottie

Dottie-it is a big surgery but I know a lot of people who were up and running in no time...I also know a crazy person who did both knees at once and was down for months so glad you're doing one at a time! Dedicate yourself to the post-op therapy, they know what they're talking about!

Michael-welcome to our happy home!

Everyone else, have a great weekend! My parents have kidnapped the boy and the dog until Wednesday and I have every intention of being worthless all day today. food network and a good paperback are as about as exciting as I plan to get. I was outside pulling weeds earlier but holy smokes it's hot out there so now it's just me and the A/C, thank you God for A/C!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
