Is it just me or do any of the rest of you feel like a fat slug when you lay off the exercise for a couple days. I am sitting here wishing I could at least go for a couple mile walk. Strange, but good, I know. What I don't like is that I am feeling completely out of shape.

I feel so bad for HP and family. They have to rough it in a Pop-up Camper. If I had extra hammock tents I would bring them so they would not have to suffer. LOL

You are on your own for Sunday. I'm going to need to head home.

You all joke about your hammocks, cots and trailers. I know I reserved a spot but there still maybe a hotel in my Saturday night future. If the ride is rough and I'm expected to sleep on the ground I might just have the ultimate prima donna diva fit! I'm trying to be optimistic. It will be fine I'm sure.

JC I'm with you on the slug feeling. I need to stop effing around on here so I have time to workout this afternoon.

B, WHERE ARE YOU?

HP, WHAT?? Sweetie, that was your OLD self that was talking. This is your NEW self. You don't worry about what people are going to think about you now. That was your former fat self worrying. Seriously though, I know what you are feeling, the smaller I get though, the less I worry about whether people are going to like me. I used to never let ANYONE from DH work see me, let alone meet me. If someone would come over I would make him go outside and talk to them. I have now been in DH for the first time in 8 years!!!! I would never get out of the car at his work. Its weird, I know. I didn't want the guys he works with trying not to make fat jokes about me in front of DH.

I honestly think that you guys are going to get along so well, that you will be planning trips like this often. I really do!!! You are all so awesome, that it can't NOT work out!!!! PLEASE, take TONS of pictures so I feel like I was there!!!!

J, I always knew you had a secret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You little secret keeper, holding out on us!!!! I used to scrapbook, but now I don't. End of story. How is the restriction going? Are you still feeling it or is it pretty much gone now?

JC, why are you dizzy? Are you eating still? Don't NOT eat because you aren't exercising as much. I hope that you are back on your way to biking again. I think that will do some wonders for yourself.

BG, You are too funny. I laugh at just about everything you say. I am sorry that your house was trashed when you got home. THAT is not funny. THAT would piss me off too! I just told my DH and DD last night that they are gonna be picking up after themselves nightly now, I am not going to have the time to do it for them when I start back to school. I have pharmacology and pathophysiology amongst my classes and I know that I am NOT going to be feeling like being the personal maid to the family too!!!

Oh here is the update on the road bike. I AM going to take a picture....I really am!!! LOL....and my hubby put our sport comfies back to original and we rode them last night and had a freakin' blast. Laughing and goofing around like teenagers!!! I was sssoooo much fun. They really are nice bikes if you are not trying to go more than 5 or 10 miles at a time. We are now officially calling them the "tanks" and our road bikes the "porsches". The seat on the road bike was traded out for a different seat and I don't know what it is. I know the mechanic guy told us that you DO NOT want a gel seat on a road bike. Not sure about that though. Ok, all, i am going to get ready to ride to video store and get this weeks new releases!!

Oh Hell BG, you got do that ride, there is a T-shirt involved!

I'm up for just about anything. I noticed there is a hundred mile ride available. :-)

J, Diva out if you want to, there shouldn't be any pressure. I personally am just being a big kid as usual, I haven't "camped" in my new Hammock toy yet and it is killing me.

D, I am not sure why I was feeling bad this morning, but I am much better now. I have cut my diet back due to the weight creeping back up, I have been keeping my frustrations bottled up as much as possible. I do not want to get into the habit of whining about my situation.

I have also had an ex-girlfriend bothering me, it is starting to wear me out.

      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.
