Well, life always has challenges but I am doing really well.

here is my positive comment for the day... i am ASTOUNDED at how little I miss my right implant. I thought I would be disfigured and weird looking. It isn't very noticable - I don't need to pad the bra or anything. Nekkid it looks a little deflated compared to the other side, but I am not upset by it. Every lab test known has been done - no fungus or bacteria. I guess sometimes those problems can be so low grade the tests don't detect them, but my feeling (and surgeon concurs) that this was probably an injury/trauma caused which is good news. Means replacement is likely to be successful and trouble free.

Saw the movie the Martian - was very good and worth seeing in the theater.

Having some follow up issues with remodel... grrrr

Sheryl that's great news about the implant!

Florinda, I wish you would check in. We worry about you when you report you're so depressed and have constant acid problems.

I am excited that I met a local guy from ok cupid and we had coffee this morning. He's very stable financially, seems very nice,nice looking, and wants to see me again. This is rare for this area. He's fit and doesn't hunt or fish. He just moved here from CA.

I've been writing to guys from the different dating sites but they all live too far away. I am excited for the possibility of someone local that isn't a loser.

Hey guys, checking in -

Dr. had nothing worthwhile to say and referred me to a gastro, who has yet to call me to make an appointment. yesterday I ate some pumpkin seeds, a few mouthfuls of yogurt, a couple bites of plain chicken salad (vegan mayo) and a sugar cookie. Apparently my body does not differentiate between low calorie overall and low carb.

Just checking in.... had my first real "ride" last Friday... drove up the river road to the next county. One step at a time! Glad to hear the surgeries are doing well..... Kelly? How about you?

My dad just got engaged... nice 87 year old lady, she could be a model! He like the good lookers! Anyway, we meet up with her family last night for dinner and a toast. They all seem nice.

Hip armor is not my friend as far as looks go!

How long has it been now since your Mom passed? It is going to be three years this Christmas for my Father, and I think I was ready to be accepting if my Mom found someone, about a year and a half ago.

It's been around a year and a half.

That's so cute and exciting , Kim. I wonder how they met.

Floridna, can't you just call the gastro guy yourself and say your doctor wants you to be seen? All that acid is nothing to fool around with.

I went out with Keith and he already tried to get in my pants so to speak. I told him he needed to slow way down cause I barely knew him. He was quite understanding but I have to wonder what he was thinking. We are way past the age of sex on the first date.

I've been doing really well doing 5:2. I've lost 5 lbs. I am excited. It worries me because of my back fusion but I can't take having nothing to wear and feeling so fat.

Sheryl,I noticed your post in the thread about the woman who is sleeping around. You don't have much to worry about catching Hep C. It's very rarely passed sexually. You have to have an open cut for it to enter your body.

      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.
