I spoke too soon, and now I hate being unfilled.

Don't wanna talk about it, but my weight is climbing.

Aw, sweetie - I'm sorry to hear that. We're always here pulling for ya!

TX,

That sucks shit. I'm sorry you're struggling. You'll get refilled soon, no?

B,

Good to know your ticker is in fine order. Get thee on thy bicycle!

Shout out to the rest of you all.

Sorry I'm being crass...but I'm ever so slightly just a little drunk.

Thanks, all...I really appreciate the support.

J...I heart you...you can always make me laugh: "...but I'm ever so slightly just a little drunk." I love that...ever so slightly just a little! Is that like being ever so slightly just a little pregnant? LOL And yes, I will get refilled. I will take it a little at a time and only get the bare necessity, though. Right now, I'd say it's necessary.

TX,

There's a children's show/book called Lola and Charlie which is very charming. They are brother and sister in London. And Lola says often, "ever so slightly just a little..." Like she is ever so slightly just a little scared to to go to school for the first time.

We love, love, love Lola and Charlie and Fancy Nancy and newest in our book collection are Pinkalicious and Purplelicious...Nobody told me the books would be one of the best parts of having a new reader. I love the stories as much as she does.

But back to your fill...You wouldn't know if you didn't try, right? Soon, soon. At least you'll be able to fuel your giant ride this weekend.

Mornin' everyone else.

Ohio Loves You!!!!

That's fantastic.

Traci, why do I need to be careful? Did I miss something? I'm just writing many many papers and Zoe's having a sleep over. My weekend should be pretty tame.

TX and B,

I'm thinking about a vacation to the Texas Golf this December. Is cycling decent in that area? What are the temps? Anything a girl should do???

I know, I can see stuff on Travel Texas. com...but I thought I'd see what you'd say. Is there gambling in the area? Do you even have clue?

thanks,

TX - I'm sure you'll be very busy today getting ready for the MS150. I wish that I could be there - but with work commitments & such, I'd be lucky to make 15 miles this weekend, let alone 150. Good luck, have a blast, & tell us all about it!!!

J - I haven't been to South Padre in years, so I can't speak for that part of the gulf, but we make it to Galveston on a fairly regular basis (got married on a jetty there. Weather is generally mild - highs in the 60s, lows in the 50s. Bicycling is okay - if you want to bike a long the beach, you're golden, the rest of the town may be a little more of an iffy proposition. As far as I am aware, there is no gambling onshore. There have been several attempts over the years to set up gambling boats to take folks off-shore to international waters, but I don't think any have ever really been successful. Also, being off-season, there would be less of a chance of any gambling boats running.

Do you know where on the gulf you would want to go?

Since the topic of saddle comfort arrises from time to time, I thought I'd pass along something that I found today. If I still had a diamond-frame bike, I'd be all over trying one of these. I didn't see pricing, but it might be worth a look to those that are still having saddle comfort issues...

I got some 'post-op' pedals for my bike! LOL They are pretty cool actually. They have the clip inside, but are flat like a regular pedal all around it so you can choose whether you use clipless pedals or regular shoes. My LBS guy hooked me up because I'm so worried about falling while I'm still so fresh from surgery. Doctor said I could ride, but I've been leary...have stuck to walking thus far. Of course, it's sucky weather this weekend here in O-HI-O. Gee, what's new? LOL

I'm glad you liked the video clip of my DH. He does not get a dog...darnit! I would love to have one and so would he, but he needs to provide 'back-up' to them, and also has to work in an office fairly regularly so it just wouldn't make sense. Anyway, he gets to see them all the time, but it would be really neat to have one here at home.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
