BG, you are doing sooo good. I can't wait to hit 100. I am thinking of getting a tatoo to Celebrate it.

The last time I did WW that was going to be my 200 pound mark reward, a tatto. soooooo, I guess maybe I will do it for this 200 pounds....Does anyone ask you guys how much more weight you are going to lose? My MIL asks me this continually, and it pisses me off. WHY does it matter? I am fat. I weigh 228.5 pounds.....It is not like I am a stick figure and am trying to lose more weight. What is up with the comment? I am going to blow a gasket some time in the near future...

Yes the manicotti.

I have people ask me all the time how much more. When I tell them about 50 pounds they say that there is no way I have that much left to lose. HA. They have not seen me naked.

People ask me how much I've lost and I say, "I don't share those numbers."

I tell them that I'm at a bit past 50% of what I want to lose.

I'm a bit cagey about discussing the particulars of my actual weight though so no one has asked how much more...and I'm far from looking normo.

Really, it'd be fun and awkward making if they asked how much more to ask them, "How much more do you think I need to lose?"...hehe, watch a person squirm.

So back on the job front. As you might know I declined that job and was going to stay with my current job. Well I was asked to reconsider my decision for a dollar more per hour....

Hey Baby,

Do you have a bike with gears or is it just one gear for everything. I know my parents went out and bought a bike from Walmart and they based their decision on Seat cushion size but gears are important. When you are biking you set the gear for speed that you are trying to maintain. I have put my bike on a very lightest gear possible when going up hills to the point I am just barely moving but I am getting the exercise and I don't have to do the walk of shame. ;) There is no reason to ever get off a bike solely because your legs are burning up. You should shift down and let them have a break. Then of course shift up when you are flying back down the hill.

J, well, when I say, about 75 pounds, people go through the roof!!!! But then again, they didn't know that I weighed over three hundred pounds, and I have no problem sharing that with them and THAT makes people squirm....they probably think I weigh more like 400 pounds, but they say, I can't believe you weighed that much. I feel like saying, yeah, your right. I am lying. Dumb dumbs.

BG, sooooooooooooooooooooooo now what are you going to do with the job offer?????? Make manicotti???

Here I am still at work, 14 hours, 6 cups of coffee later.

I have no idea. With the extra money and the insurance I would be saving about $7000 per year. It is kind of hard to refuse that.

That was random.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing...trying to find the link!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And on your MIL...THANK YOU! I am so sick of feeling like I have to defend my goal! I appreciate folks saying nice things about my progress, but it's not enough. Not enough for me, and it shouldn't be enough for anyone! We didn't have surgery to lose ten pounds, damn it! Hubby does not like skinny chicks, and he's so afraid I will get "too thin". My goal is well within the "normal" BMI range.

Just smack her the next time she asks! You know you want to! LOL

      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.
