WOW Stef you look great!!! I can really tell that you have lost alot of weight. Keep it up. I need to get a picture taken of me soon so I can try to post them. I have never heard anything from the man I sent the email to about the wrist band. I hope he got my email and will send me one soon. I am going to bed early tonight because I didn't take a nap and I am trying to get some sleep for once at night. Talk to ya'll tomorrow.

Thanks! They say my eyes are called "Norwegian Blue Eyes" because I have a dark ring around the lighter blue. And braces and a permanent retainer behind my front teeth give me a good smile. I've been so unsure about posting pictures, but I feel I know you all well enough to get over the anxiety about it.

Arcael - Sorry to hear your wrist band broke :cry But I'm proud of you that you went to the gym!!

Well, it was too cold to get into my pool today, so I had my hubby move my stationery recumbant bike out to the living room, so I could ride and watch t.v. (helps the time go by faster). I road for 30 minutes and went over 7 miles...lol. I used a program of varying levels. Felt pretty good!! Other than swimming, this is the first exercise I've done. I am looking into a Tai Chi class and having the intstructor also do some personal training with me just to get me in a routine. I'll let you know when that starts. For now, I'll do my bike and maybe some walking when it is cool here in TX.

Stephanie: You look fabulous and those pants aren't going to last much longer without falling off of you!!!

BGP and Stesti: I'll let you know when I'll be coming to town. I may be passing through around Christmas, but probably wouldn't have much time for anything...except maybe meeting for a dinner or drinks or coming to your store for the makeup session!! We usually stop in St. Louis and stay in a hotel...many times at the Drury Inn in Fenton (the newer one). I try and get the best deal with a Breakfast as there will be 6 of us. I'll keep you updated.

Stetsi, way to go on the workout! And Mary, I have a recumbant bike, too...it's great for exercising during the cold weather! I have it in my former office with a tv, too, to make the time go by faster. My knees can't handle much walking, as in outside, so I opt for the bike. As long as we're moving, that's all that matters, right?

Yes, my pants are a tad baggy - I have new "real" pants in a drawer. I tried them on yesterday again. They fit and I can get them on, but I don't like how they feel when I sit in them yet. I'll try again in a week or so.

I'm off to work - have a great day everyone!

Thanks for asking about me :) , well my strep infection has spread into the soft tissues in my neck/face so now my jaw is stuck/locked. I can only open my mouth about a 1/2 inch. Ugh Im going back to the doctor again today. I don't know if I'll be on steroids or what. Definitely more antibiotics. I'll keep you updated.

Ohh lala, you better watch out lol your husband is going to be chasing you around!! And I agree with what everyone else has said too, you are sooo pretty, pretty eyes, smile, the works.

OMG Stephanie,

Wow you can really see the weight loss in your pics, you look so gooooood. I can't believe the difference, and you can really see it in your face. I haven't took any pics yet, maybe I need too, maybe if I looked as good as you I would really feel like I've done something. I have lost 40 but I can't tell it one bit. Oh well, maybe in another 40. You sure look good.

Hey I went to the Y today with my mom and I didn't like either one of the bikes they had there. I really want to try a recumbent bike. You that said you had one do you like it. I heard that they hurt your back. I don't have any back problems but my hubby does. I would like to get one but I don't know what kind to get. My hubby is an ebayer so we would probably look there first. Where do you guys get yours?

Kari- Girl hang in there. Prayers are going up for you today.

Beth: I really like the recumbent bike. I haven't heard anything about them bothering one's back. I think most regular stationary bikes end up being clothes hangers. Many of them have small seats that hurt the behind, so people don't last much on them. At least that was my experience in the past and several others that I know. I invested in a very good recumbent one, as I've had a couple of knee surgeries and my doc recommended the bike over walking. This is probably due to me carrying so much weight on my body and that being hard on the knees (walking). The brand name on my bike is Diamondback and it's a very good one. It wasn't cheap, but if you can find one on ebay, I'd recommend it.

Thanks Mary. Hey I posted a reply on the yahoo group page but now I can't find it to see if anyone posted anything to me. I also tried to start a new post asking for people in FOrt Worth but I don't know how to find out if anyone answered it. I guess it is still too new for my. Well I am off to ebay to look at bikes. See ya.

      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.
