B - Have you tried the Commit lozenges? I'm a non-smoker, but I used to smoke a long time ago... anyway, I love the Commit! ha!

J- Glad Zoe isn't broken! That woulda sucked!

As for bras... I used to have those bra hook extender things on mine cause they were too tight, now I no longer use those, and I"m on the tightest hook, AND they are getting a bit too big all over. I really need to dig through all of my old cutsie bras I have in a box in my closet. I'm sure I have something tehre that will fit me now! I'm sick of my 'fat granny bras'!

In all actuality, I probably won't take up the nicotine habit long-term - just swiped some of the wife's gum to get a quick hit of speed (didn't really work too well anyway).

TX - Have you seen this ride: 2008 Easter Hill Country Tour - Easter Weekend: March 21 - 23, 2008 It's Easter weekend, but it looks like a great ride, and kind of a warm-up for MS150 at the beginning of May. I think the wife and I will look into it (if we can find a hotel/B&B that will let us take the dog). Lemme know if you might be up for it. Also, I'll get school wrapped up this weekend. Would you be interested in meeting up for a 25ish mile ride one day next weekend?

Woo hoo to all of us for hitting 300 pages... Geez-o-pete, we're a talkative bunch....

Ooo-Ooo, B! That weekend sounds awesome...and in hill country to boot! Are you thinking of the century, or something a little less? If I go, I would definitely want to go on Saturday and stay for the dinner and then for the night, maybe toodle around the area on Sunday. I'll have to talk to hubby about it and see if he might not be able to be home for that.

The ride next weekend sounds great. Let's check the temperature on that mid-week to know for sure, but I would love it.

J - SO GLAD to hear Zoe doesn't have any broken bones. I hope she's feeling fantastic soon!

Okay, I know this is gonna sound weird, but what the hell...I YAM WHAT I YAM!

Ladies, if you like, PM me your bra size! (Warned ya!) Next time I go down to the wholesale district in Dallas, I can pick you up some bras. There is a store I know that has them in six-packs for $9.99, and they are a mix of colors, and they are PRETTY! I got two packs last time I went and wish I would have gotten two more just to have all the colors. You KNOW how ridiculously expensive these things are, so PM me if you like!

Stefanie - I was thinking about going down Thursday afternoon - taking the 35 or 44 mile ride on Friday, and the 64 on Saturday. I don't think I'll do the 41 on Sunday. The wife and I can drive around - go have lunch at my cousin's restaurant in Austin & head back for big D.

Where are you riding at this time of night? Not at any of the parks, I hope! It's not safe! There have been several attacks on runners and cyclists on Dallas park trails of late!

I would totally send you my bra size, but I seriously have about 3 or 4 different sizes from years of weight gain!! Ha! Once I run out of these, I'll let you know! THanks for the offer!

I'll PM ya TX, actually I'm a 38-D. I don't care who knows. I'd love some cheap bras. Let me know when you're going.

I didn't lose a cup size, apparently. I did go from a 42 to a 38 though. I started at a 44.

You all want to know something ironic, really ironic not like sunshine on a rainy or a free meal when you've already paid?

5 years ago I lost about 90 from my all time high of 338 so I was around 250 and I got a breast reduction. My tatas were HUGE, now they're just regular. Well I'm really thinking that my breasts are going to shrink to nothing by the time I get to goal and I'm thinking augmentation may be in my future.

Reduced breasts to implants, that's ironic.

And thanks for the well wishes for Zoe. I really appreciate your kind words. She's going to milk the injury to be sure, but who wouldn't?

Let her milk the injury. Just smother her with love. :eek:

I KNOW that I'm gonna get a boob lift - possible implants when I'm done losing weight... along with the LBL. Haha. I need a sugar daddy QUICK!

I was hoping so! But from the way you were talking, I thought you were going out. Good for you! Hope you had a good ride!

I was hoping to get some kind of surgical discount for a good bj but I don't think DH would be too fond of that idea. Luckily my insurance will cover the panni, but the rest will be up to me. I really want a LBL but unless I win the lotto I don't think that is in my future. I will probably need some implants for my deflated pankcake looking breasts, but then again the right push up bra and I will be set. I am planning for my PS in early November this year. I was going to do it in April but that would just fuck up my whole summer of crazy athletic activities. I would rather heal in the winter when the weather has gone to shit. Now I just have to be patient enough to wait 11 more months!

Oh and it is tooting time (and I don't mean the methane kind, though this veggie diet is not gaining me any friends).

I lost all of my Christmas weight!!!!!!! SO that is 10 pounds plus one to grow on. I am pretty effing stoked.

      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.
