5 questions

I thought I would get this going again... 1. What is the most active fun thing you plan to do after losing weight? 2. On what date are you allowed to sit down to a (small) dinner of unground chicken, potatoes and salad? 3. Are you a dog-person or a cat-person or neither? 4. What is the most daring thing you ever did? 5. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? My answers: 1. I plan to go to Alaska this summer with my 26 year old daughter and hike every day. I plan to scuba dive with my DH this fall. 2. 4/27 I get to eat "regular" diet 3. Dog! I have a Maltese named Susie who is helping me get better. She is a better helper at naps than walking though. 4. I went skydiving! It was great--free fall for 30 seconds. More like flying than falling. 5. I may have stumped myself here--I want to see EVERYTHING! I love to travel. I've always wanted to see the antiquities in Egypt. I want to tour the Holy Land. I'd love to go on an African safari. I'd love to see the castles in Scotland that are still in my family. Guess for now, I'll focus on Alaska! Joy

1. I LOVE Tennis. Can't wait to get back into it. 2. I'm guessing here - 4 to 6 weeks post op? 3. I love both. We had 3 cats and we have 2 dogs. The problem is, we can't keep the cats. Anacortes, (where I live) has a bit of a coyote problem. 4. Stood up on the seat of a motorcycle traveling down the highway at about 70 miles per hour. It was more stupid than daring. I was 17 or 18 at the time...lucky to still be alive. 5. I travel a lot. I've generally gone to tropical places like Hawaii or the Caribbean because I love "R & R". I'll probably continue with those places because there's lots of activities such as tennis and swimming. However, I'm starting to think about taking one of the "Rick Steve's" Europe tours. They do a lot of walking and I know I'm going to want to have exercise be a big part of everything I do post-op.

Learn to scuba dive and you can mix that with your Caribbean R&R trips! It is awesome! Joy

1. What is the most active fun thing you plan to do after losing weight? Take my kids to Disney World!!! 2. On what date are you allowed to sit down to a (small) dinner of unground chicken, potatoes and salad? at about 8 weeks, So I'm saying May 7. Thats exactly 8 weeks from my surgery... 3. Are you a dog-person or a cat-person or neither? I'm a dog person but have 3 cats...Can't have dogs where I live. 4. What is the most daring thing you ever did? hmmm, I have no Idea... 5. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? Frankfurt, Germany. I lived there when I was younger and I just loved it. I miss it so much, I would just love to go back there! Kelley Tomorrows the BIG day!

1- I want to ride a bike again , with my girls, I havnt done this in 22 years 2- not sure sometime in early April I hope 3- I am a dog lover , but its to hot here for a Lg.dog they suffer to much with the heat, fleas, I dont want a lil dog, I like big dogs!

1. I am going on a Carnival Cruise Sept 5 out of Galveston to Progresso, Belize and Cozumel, that was a package deal off this website from a lady in Texas who belongs to the Bypass Buddies support group. We will have doctors, and nutritionists on board as well as fun. Will be a week...I am so excited and going with my honey. 2. I think at least a month out, not sure. 3. I was a cat person big time, lost my 17 yr old "Butterfly" last year and was as close to depression as I have ever been in my whole life. I let her die at home, and it was so hard on me. Now, I have my 13 yr old terrier mix dog and would have to say I am a dog person now. 4. The most daring thing (that I can say on this board...lol) was to leave Illinois where I had lived all my life, pack up my belongs, my cats and trek out to Arizona to start a new life without a job or even a promise of one. Didn't work out too well financially either, and I ended up back here 6 years later because of aging parents...but learned a lot about "pioneering". I also was a community theatre actress and once took off my dress on stage and performed in my slip (I hadn't gotten fat yet). 5. I would like to take a slow trip around the world...but I guess I would like to go to England and France first.

Pout... my job got usurped.

I'm SO sorry Linda. I completely missed Linda's question post yesterday! Do post more! The board is slow today! Joy
