Funny thing happened today, I went to by a few pairs of shorts, mostly because all of my are falling off and I look funny rolling them. I went to The Limited, and started trying on 12's they are to big!!!!! Yeah!!! OMG!!!!! I was dancing in the fitting room and the sales lady was cheering me on. I saw this same girl abt 2 wks ago when the 12's were snug. She remembered me and sd that I look really good and to keep up the good work. I can fit in a 10 they are a little snug, not enough to by the bigger size though, and they have some strech tin them so they will loosen up as I wear them. I haven't worn a size 10 in I can't remember how long. I just had to share this with you all.:lol:

... The only list I saw once had odd items on the list, including long-handled BBQ tongs:confused2: Never quite figured that one out!...

I think those are used to pick up a wash cloth and wash the hard to reach places?:confused2:

Yes, I have gotten about 10 pics of him! He's such a doll! I just feel like giving him a big hug!!!

I think he's the sweetest! AND if things work out, which I hope they do - at this point, but I'm trying not to!

It's hard!

Hi everyone,

Are you guys going to the Red Robin on the 16th? I will be in town for my surgery. I have my pre-op scheduled for 3:00 on that day. My daughter and I would love to meet everyone. My daughter, Kacie, is 15 years old and I am excited that she can be with me. I am staying at TownPlace suites at the Denver Tech Center. I hope this is a nice area. On the map, it says that the hotel is only 14 minutes away from the hospital. I was wondering if Dr. K would let me leave with my daughter or do I need an adult. If so, maybe, one of you could pick us up and take us back to the hotel? Well, let me know.

Mini: I hope everything goes ok with your surgery. I will be thinking about you.

Tied: I can't believe men can be so evil. I can only hope that a woman he meets online does the same to him (even worse) so that he might know how it feels.

I am sooooo sad for a lady I work with. She lost her son 2 days ago. He was drinking at a friends house and choked on his own vomit and died in his sleep. This was her only child and he was only 19. She was working two jobs to help him through college. He was really smart and had scholarships and graduated with honors. I guess he had a drug and alcohol problem. He was partying at a friends house and MY daughter was there for a short time. She was friends with him and told me she hugged him and was sitting with him that night but he was "so messed up". She is soo upset. I have lost some very important people in my life but I can't imagine losing a child. I have to go to the funeral home tomorrow. I am dreading it. I don't do well at funeral homes (does anyone).

FW, My offer still stands for a ride from the hospital. No worries Dear!

I know where your hotel is too!

I'm so happy that you're daughter is going to be with you! No one should be alone.

We all met at Borders! Mal, Brandy, Brandy's Sweetie, Mal's Sweetpie, Mini and Moi!

Mini is a doll! She's just as cute in person as she is here on LBT!

I got some great pics, I'll get them posted asap! My daughter has to do that for me!

We had a great time!!! Yummy food!!! Right Mal?

AND you'll be happy to hear that Mini stuck to the pre-op!!! We were very proud of her! Since Dr. K said, "Absolutely not! She couldn't enjoy her last meal by eating anything she wanted!"

All of you were there with us, in our hearts!

Move over Shelbi, Mini is coming! AND please continue on your best behavior! She might be a little sore for awhile! No poking her in the side!

Sliding on down -- making room for our Newest Bandito!

Hugs,

dee~

Fatwidow, I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's friend. That's horrible!! My daughter's friend was found dead in his dorm room last year, he had taken an overdose accidently! It has changed all of the kids. It's very very sad! I hope you do okay at the funeral home tomorrow. I know it will be difficult for you. Just know you are there for the Mom and the family of the young boy. They will need your support and love. I'm sending you a Big Hug.

OMG this is so very sad and I'm sorry for your daughter's loss and the pain you both are going through. The best thing you can do is just be there, amid all those teen tears and young people who are facing the reality of YES, it can happen to one of their own...it's so shocking to them. Your being there will be the best thing you can share with your daughter. Hold her hand, put your arm around her if she needs it. Wow. *19 years in education and the past 15 working middle-high school and voc. tech, it's never easy to see the young ones go and they mostly go in circumstances like this.* The story that remains as a memory in our town is this superbly vivacious young man who graduated and after grad there was a party, everyone was going, he hopped on his bike (motorcyle) and was heading to the first of many parties that night (big italian community...loads of parties) when he was driving down the main road and someone pulled out in front of him. Instantly. His funeral prosession was three miles long. These moments we hear of make life so priceless and precious.

....................................................................................

Friends my appointment with the plastic surgeon has been bumped by 24 hours. He has a surgery that is running longer than they first anticipated and want to allow some extra time so rather than tomorrow it will be Thursday I go in for my consulation. Going for a breast reduction and a penni-off (my word) that swagger that is much less swag down at the bottom of my tummy since my band but is still giving me persistant backaches and so much more. I'm sure I will have more than one surgery and I'm told there are some cases where getting that extra area off to relieve the pain and DRAG will allow me to pick it up and move more readily. BUT MY FEET DON'T HURT! and I'm so much better than in 2007.

It's all a journey isn't it? Wheeee.

FWidow~Today will be a difficult day for you and your daughter. The loss of a child HAS to be the most challenging loss in our lives. I pray for for the family and friends. My son (14) lost two friends to suicide this last year and it has been an emotional nightmare for all of us. You will be in my thoughts today.:thumbup:

Bahot~Size 10! That is a great victory!! Congrats!

Dee~The food WAS good!:thumbup:...actually I ate some of Chris' left overs when we got home. The drinks were even better...shhhh!

It was a fantastic evening with the LB Ladies. Brandy, you could be a model! You are beautiful! and little Ms. Hannah, too sweet! Mini, I am so happy that I got to meet you, I wish you lived here! and Dee, you have a certain glow to you these days, I love it!

oh yeah, we all got matching tatoos lastnight!! We are crazy that way! LOL

Lap~Hang in there another day. I wish I was that close to PS. By the way, how is your daughter doing?

Mini! My Dear! I can't wait til you're on the Loser's Bench with us!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
