I restarted the Evista today... w/o dr's blessing. Will see if that helps. Doubled my antidepressant today, too. Still feeling depressed, and mad at Earl over the whole awning, etc. next door thing. He won't budge and his logic makes no sense to me.

I HATE filing, too!! Avoided it like the plague when I was working for insurance companies.

Clouds building, wind picking up so I guess big weekend storm front must be moving in.

Water main break a little way down Dillon rd so we've had no Water all day. They say it will be back on around 1-2 pm but can still see the trucks up there working just off Dillon going towards DHS. So I am sitting here thinking that is a good excuse to drive in to DHS just to get a Starbucks!! I can't make myself a cup of coffee here with no water! Choir practice at 2:30 pm, so if I'm going to do it it has to be soon!

Nope...can't do it. Wants smaller files.

o.k. I`m on here but this sucks, from what I`ve seen so far..... but I`ll bitch about that later

Had a great day today, went with my buddy to get our preXmas Pick me ups.... hee,hee.... then went to costco, more shopping, lunch at Swiss Chalet... legal clean eating!!! Then we went to the mall... I tried on some ACTUAL NICE CLOTHES.... whoo-hoo.... looked fab in a 16 it was a tad big, but the 14 was a no go... It was a black and purple metalic dress.... then there was this Leather jacket to go over it.... oh to die for... but a lot of money, and I donn`t wantt to spend it right now with Xmas coming, and my cruise... really I have enough in my closet already that will be CRUISABLE wear... so showed some restraint.

BUT, after I lose some more weight.... oooooooh look out stores!!! I did buy an UNDERGARMENT today, 25percent off for a crotch to armpit coverage.... XL I havn`t tried it on yet but what the hell they stretch right LOL

Prot. shake for dinner, apple crisp later.... tally today under 1000

I HATE THIS NEW SITWE!!!!!! :blink::(

Well I don't know that I can handle this new site, but we don't have a choice. I guess we are just getting too 'vintage' to change. Candice good job on the restraint!!! You are controlling shopping & food. A cruise...what a delicious idea. So while you are in Italy, you could pick me up one of the Italian lovers.... Okay, how about some italian buttons?

Two days left AND counting. But I still have to crank out one last paper this week. Then I will REALLY be done for awhile. I wish I could bribe my kids for my Christmas present early, I THINK I am getting a Kindle, it would be so nice to have while I am recouperating....

Told the city that I wouldn't be shoveling after next week, they at least made a note of it some I shouldn't get fined for not having my sidewalk shoveled. But we will see. With the Water bill going up, I really can't afford to hire someone to shovel, plus I am just being rebellious.

My furries are not thrilled with the cold, I have to watch them like a hawk so the don't refuse to go potty outside....gr..

I am disappointed in you for not buying that leather jacket

NO... we don't have a choice!! WE HAVE TO ADAPT. I'm trying to master all the new changes! A significant challenge!

Kindle... that is great! I hope you will enjoy it. I've been reading books on my iTouch. Small screen, but I like it because it's so light weight. I use it a lot to read in bed.

Good Morning, Happy Pre-Thanksgiving!!!

Do you all have your turkeys defrosting? Mine has been in the refrigerator since Saturday and is still hard as a rock. Ah the wonderful fun of a winter wonderland. There are actually people who think this weather is lovely...ARE they CRAZY? Oh well, enough weather grumbling, I have a warm home, food in the refrigerator and DD#5 is coming home for the weekend. She is inbetween boyfriends so I get to pamper her!!! I found out what the exboy friend said to her when he broke up. Let's just say that if I had known at the time, he would be singing soprano!! and may still have that opportunity if I see him.

Today is my preop appointments. So much fun, actually not a big deal. I am sure they will send me to the hospital for blood work bleck!! But I get 4 whole days to play in my quilt room and do final preparations for recovery time. I need to get stuff cut out for project preparation. Also I want to get some Christmas packages wrapped and out of the way. Maybe even put the tree up, AFTER it thaws out from being stored in the shed! This is the first time in a very long time that I am excited about Christmas preparations.

Suppose I best get ready for work. How many layers can you put on and still be mobile? Think of me all you warm and sunny people. Oh that's right, Janet was at a 100+ degrees this summer....nope couldn't do it!

Have a great and wonderful day. Enjoy your lovely weather. Candice....Kepp at it, we are all so proud!!!! Janet, we expect souviners from your vacation!!!!!!!!! You could bring me a latin boy toy!

I hate it, the background is way to light, but I figured out how to dim my monitor so that should help. Maybe if we complain enough we could get them to change it back. Don't we have anything to say about? Isn't it our website...okay, well maybe not. We need to get Janet to complain. I be she could make them change!!!!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!!!

Hope you all have a fabulous time with family and friends!!!

I haven't started our turkey yet, it is just a little one, so will start it in a couple of hours. Need to make pumpkin pie, but realized I am out of sugar, don't use the stuff anymore so I have to run to the store this morning...if they are open, if not I will hit up the neigbor for the 'cup of sugar'. Other than cooking I don't have much planned, I need to finish my last paper for the semester but other than that will putz in my quilting room. I need to clean and do laundry, but that can wait until tomorrow.

Janet, I know you told me when you headed on vacation, but I can't remember. On Tuesday right? or is it this weekend? Phyl, you and Earl drive safe to your friends house for turkey day.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
