Okay so TLC is running all of their obesity shows today. I can understand eating so much that you make yourself incompacitated but I can not understand why, once they are that size and can not move, does the family keep feeding them 10,000 calories per day? I just can't get it. I don't understand it.

I know I have watched shows like that and it is so sad. You would think they would not keep allowing that to happen.

I know that allot of the times it is just "easier" to keep someone happy, but look at what they are doing to them....sad

mine was sooo tight before I started loosing. I cant wait to get more off. Just seems like the holidays has gotten me a little off track. Drinking wine, and pop, and crap not supposed to be drinking.

Plus, not being able to be outside and do what I love....

BUT.......I am looking forward and not back, cant change what was, only improve each day.....

Well, have a great day back to work tommorow.....

Mine are getting pretty big, too...they just spin around now and I'm always having to put them upright...bugs me! My jeweler will size them for free, but I just don't want to be without them. When they are in danger of falling off, I will take care of them then.

HP - how exciting for you and the new bike! You don't have long to wait now!

ALL - I'm at my mom's, who made a very nice dinner. Now she has just pulled hot homemade brownies with tons of walnuts out of the oven and is dishing them up to everyone. She has asked me four times so far..."Are you SURE you don't want some?"

I could shoot her.

Well I have been sugar free for 4 days now. I definitely feel pretty good about that. I feel much better.

Holy shit this lady on this show eats a pound of M&Ms a day. That is 3000 calories and I fucking ate that last week, which led to this anti sugar thing. That hurts bad to think that there are that many calories in it. Ugh. Never again.

I don't get that crap either - once people can no longer procure food on their own, why don't those who do get the food get good food?

The answer, sadly, is probably why TX's mom keeps offering her brownies.... It's a level of control, and a lot of people revel in seeing others fail.

Anyhoo...

BG - Just never got into the camping thing - was a Boy Scout for 3 or 4 years and just hated the camping stuff. Maybe if my exposure to camping didn't involve hot (110+), dry, Texas summers at Boy Scout camps built during the great depression, I might hold it in better regard. Great job on the sugar thing. It does suck the first few days, but afterwards, I usually notice a clearer head & the scale moving in the right direction.

HP - Woohoo. Only a few more weeks before the new bike comes home with you. We'll want pictures, of course! I'm very jealous that you can have pop :)

TX - Speaking of camping, are you going to camp at TMS Saturday night of the MS150, or are you going to hotel it? How is the trainer and weight bench working out?

I rode about and hour and 15 on the trainer tonight - kept heart rate below 70% HRMax. Nice recovery ride. Interestingly, I noticed that if I focused on keeping heart rate in the high 60% range, I could pedal faster than if I focused on speed while keeping heart rate low.

Hope everybody had a great holiday season - back to the grind for me in the AM. Blech...

HP- watching the Biggest Loser right now. It's amazing. I find it totally inspirational. Even my roommate is watching it and saying how he wants to lose weight and start eating better. (He eats a box of little debbies everyday. Also eats McDonalds or Popeys daily... and drinks regular Pepsi... he has ALOT of changes to make if he really wants to lose weight!)

      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.
