Don't feel bad Heather. You will fit into those boots soon. Last summer when I was in Paris, I wandered into a fancy boutique and was just browsing in the underwear section and a french woman who worked there came up to me and said, 'Madame, you are much too large for this shop." I could have died. I plan on going back when I am thin and buying a fancy bra and pair of panties while snubbing my nose at that woman.

Just remember it took a long time to put the weight on and at least now all of us are going in the right direction.

I've always had large calves. I do have a pair of knee-high boots from Torrid, if only they made ski boots!

Seriously Laurel, that's horrible! You always feel like the salespeople think that, but to have one say it! Yikes!

I wasn't the only one with boot trouble, there was an average size woman who had to return her boots because they were too small, it just sucks!

I woke up this morning with red, swollen shins. Worst ski trip ever! Even worse than the time my brother and cousin both broke their ankles and had to be dragged down the hill in a tobbagen by ski patrol. lol.

Laurel, what an a$$ that woman was. My brother has been married to a french woman for 41 years. She has always made me feel like a cow. I've been to Paris 5x in the last 10 years. The most I could buy there was shoes and handbags. Next trip.... look out! :lol:

I'm sorry she made you feel so bad.

I woke up feeling great his morning. Took a 30 minute walk, met a friend for tea, then came home to work from home today. My throat is getting progressively more sore as the day goes on. WTF is up with that?

My friend Bonnie from the Wednesday night group is coming over to walk on the treadmill with me. I'm not giving up the exercise because Fri, Sat and Sunday are my best days!

I hope you all have a great time playing together this weekend! I'll be playing with my best girlfriends to Celebrate one of them's birthday tomorrow night.

Coco... you're so close darlin. Almost there!

I went out and bought Soup today. It's tough finding lower sodium Soups. The best I could find is like 480 mg of sodium for a cup for the creamy soups. Campbells should be called on the carpet fro putting 780 mg into a cup of soup. Don't they know it leads to high blood pressure? I'm going to make home made soups and use the Trader Joe's Organic Creamy Tomato that is really low sodium.

Ash, congrats on working towards goal and getting a date!

Mo, still doing the happy dance for your Onederland.

Back to work for me.

Nicole,

You're having surgery next week and you will only be off work for a couple weeks? Was that your choice or is that what the doc ordered? In orientation I thought they said you are typically off 4 weeks.

Ali, I think everyone is different. I know that I'm hoping to go back to work five days later from my home office. That way I can nap as needed and walk around a lot. I'll be back in my office full time two weeks after my Sleeve surgery.

Kaiser will give us 4 weeks if we need/want them. I don't need a work slip so it wasn't an issue.

      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.
