TERRY BICYCLE SALE!! That's right - for 2 days you can get half off everything (except bicycles) from Terry! Even on things already on sale. Saddles, too. The boss is away, inventory is high and we'd rather be out biking than counting so we're counting on you, instead. And just to make it super easy, we're throwing in free standard shipping.

Spread the word to all your bike sisters - we've never done anything like this before and it's doubtful we'll get away with it again. And remember, it's just 2 days: Wednesday and Thursday, November 14th and 15th.

I am cooking for most of my family and misc. people I know who are too far away from family to travel for the holiday. About 10-15 people.

Should make for a busy few days, but I'm excited.

For Thanksgiving I'll be doing the usual...

Driving 2 hours to go to my Granny & Gramps' house. There will be about 50+ family members there. We will have Turkey, dressing, other random dishes... and then there will be the very very large dessert table, which will have more calories than an Army should eat in a week. I will be forcing myself to resist the evil temptation that is Peanut Butter Balls and Pecan Pie.

We will play games and visit and I will try to avoid people noticing what and how much I eat, Lol. No one knows about my lapband...

And, really, this will go on for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday... Yeah, we know how to party. Lol.

Okay I am just done here. Done with it all. I am obviously never going to lose any more fucking weight. I am never going to have a 1 in front of my weight. I will always be 2-something. I can't diet worth a shit anymore. I am going to return this stupid fucking broken bodybugg and just get my money back instead of replacing it. I can't do it anymore. I can't pretend I am happy about it and that I am so fucking optimistic...I am not. Nothing else has ever worked for me so why should this? It's not working anymore. I am beyong fucking depressed in pretty much every aspect of my life. I don't have food anymore and I just can't deal. I can't cope with my own friggin life. I am sick and tired of stepping on the scale only to spend the walk of shame back to my desk holding back tears because it just won't change. I am sick and tired of being so damn emotional. Screw this effing lapband shit. It was supposed to be easier....it was supposed to be easier than this.

Sorry, continue on with the happy merriment, maybe by Thanksgiving my manic side will show again.

Oh, BG, hugs and hugs and hugs. I really think it is happening to everyone. I think the excitement has worn off and now it is just us and the band. I don't know what to tell you, as I feel the exact same way. If this were just another diet, it would have been shot. I would of had all the weight back on plus some. I guess that is the best part of it. There is no weight gain for you. Love ya dearly....I hope you can see some light at the end of the tunnel......and then share some with me.

Oh Stacy! You have every reason to be pissed and upset with how this is playing out. It will get better. It will.

You will see 155. You've done amazingly well. Perhaps you just need to stop working at this for a few weeks. We'll be here waiting for you. Promise.

Oh and if you got me in the SS you're not off the hook. I still want my gift.

      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.
