Funny thing about the girl scout cookie. My daughter sold them and my wife collected and distributed 2000 box's this year. I got bit real hard. I check this off of her list of things to do next year.

P'Nut always lets me drive the cart at the grocery store, I'm sure its so that the blind man can accidentally run over a few of those microscopic cookie wielding temptresses.

If you ever read "two girl scouts injured in blind man grocery store accident" you know who it was.

OK........here goes. I am 53yrs old and just a person who wants to be around for a little longer. In order to do that the weight must go go go go go go. I was a police officer for all of my adult life(15+yrs) I then went into mens ministry with an organization called promise keepers. From there I went to work in the satellite industry and now I manage a radioshack in Idaho, hence the name shackdog(Bigdog). I enjoy life and want to live part of it as a smaller person.

Its like the doc asked me at ny phys eval, when do you remember being at your ideal weight. My answer"Birth", he laughed and I said I hit the ground running at 150lbs.

You're NOT gonna believe this...

I just went to p/u my 5yr old from Art class.

I turned a corner and noticed about 15 kids at a house yelling at cars and waving boxes at them. I thought they had a lemonade stand going.

Nope, wasnt lemonade they were selling!

It was G. S. Cookies.< /p>

A 12 yr old boy started CHASING my van yelling, "COME BUY SOME COOKIES!!!!! HEYYYYY!! COME BACK!!!"

I promise to God this is real.

I bought 2 boxes.

This is Diane's fault, right?

Of course it's her fault! Now.. tell me you stopped and threw the boxes away before you got home and I'll be a happy camper. *peers at Paula*

On second thought.. why didnt you run him over?! :)

He was JUST a kid, and I felt sorry for him.

And of COARSE I got rid of the cookies.... they are safe and sound in my guts.

I know, I slipped.... BIG.

Ate 1/2 the box (1 tube) of the shortbread ones while waiting for Anne.

:)

......but they were so damn good! **licking my fingers**

You felt sorry for him? *sighs* Next time, just keep driving. Or give him the money and tell him to keep the Cookies. Paula, Paula, Paula.. I'm going to have to beat Diane with a wet fish now. You realize this don't you?

And, yes, I was only joking about running over him. I think. If that had happened to me, I probably would have freaked out, deciding that Diane's curse was chasing me, put it in reverse and rid the world of one more cookie demon. Think they would have bought an insanity plea?

If it was me, I'd be picking him out of the waffle on my tire with a stick.

Get this...

The cutest little G.S. (even had a front tooth missing) told me that LAST Friday, they sold over 150 boxes doing that exact thing.... (she was so proud to tell me this)

150 boxes in 1 afternoon - approx 4 hours of work.

Thank God I was sick in bed last Friday afternoon. Or it may have been 152 boxes they had sold.

The next person who mentions Girl Scout Cookies gets a fish slap. Got it? Good.

Glad I'm still on liquids. Evil children were tempting me with Thin Mints outside of Wal-Mart this afternoon. God I used to love Thin Mints. Of course right now I'd be satisfied with being able to CHEW any thing! I'm so tired of liquids I was reading a diet cooking magazine and thought that the asparagus sounded good. I HATE asparagus!

Will it ever end??

:) Kristin

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
