Topic: WOW weekend!!
as some of you know, my DH promised to take dance lessons with me when I dropped below 200, so we've been taking dance class since February...well Friday night, we actually went to a dance and we danced nearly non-stop for 2 hours! now I could never have done anything but SLEEP for 2 hours pre-op. It was wonderful!! I told him it might be the best foreplay we've ever had!!! Then yesterday morning, I marked another one off my 'when I am skinny' list and I went on a basic kayak clinic and birding tour on our largest cypress lake here. When my son and I walked up, the guy doing it said, y'all will go in the skinny green one since you're so small. Did I love it? oh, yeah. This son had also bought me a pull-up bar and installed it when we got back to the house. Well, I can't pull all the way up, but I could move upward a *tiny* bit...something to work toward..he was proud of me for showing him that I can now do 3, count them THREE, 'real', boy-style pushups, so he got the bar for me. Then when we got home, DH said he had seen an ad for a new consignment store and he was taking me and I bought a size 6 jean jacket, Koret size PP (never even knew there was such a size) jacket and a size PS shirt. What a great weekend. I love this surgery.

I will be having the works done. It will take about a year. Start with lipo on the thighs. A few months later, lipo on the gluts and touch up the thighs. Next is the lift on the thihgs and tush. After that my tummy tuck will com. Followed by my breast and arms, though not sure which order they will be. Heather 215/95

You could try to eat a few grapes, or a few slices of an apple. I'm not sure how many carbs are in fruit but it would certainly help your sugar, and its healthy. If you'd rather have juice make sure its "no added sugar" juice and if it still bothers you, you could dilute it with water. Hope you find something that works for you!

Topic: I ran a 5 K race today!!
Hello all and happy Saturday!! One year and one month ago, I was recovering from being so obese and today...I ran a 5 k(3.1 miles) race to day for Breast Cancer awarenss month...In the cold, rainy fall day, up and down hills and although I did not come in near the top finishers, not only was I not last, but I did pretty good and felt OK when I finished. It is hard to image doing this a year ago: What a difference a year can make!! I also fit into a size 8 jeans which I KNEW would NEVER happen. Amazing what a difference a year makes. I still am about 15 pounds overweight according to all those medical charts but ya know, how many women 44 years old can run a 5 K race( With military and Hospital people) and not embarrass themselves? I was just so thrilled to death. I run daily but on a treadmill and this was my first attempt at outdoor running to see how much slower I might go..OK, Yes, A little slower, but OH MY GOSH!! I ran a 5 K race today...... MIRACLE!! YES!! And sorry to say, but I have given up on the "Friends" key..Ya'll will just have to know Ya'll are ALL MY FRIENDS and wonderful support group> Without your support this past year...who know's where I'd be? Thanks again for all your support. Cold, wet and rainy here in Germany but sending you all my warmest hugs!! Thanks, jacqueline PS: OCtober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Get those Mammograms ladies!! Early detection can save your life!! Hugs

Hi SS - I am so sorry about this. I am a big animal person and that is one thing I always hate and swear that I won't get anymore and then I do. It's hard, I know. We get so close to little furries!! Take care of yourself SS - and I hope your day is good today. love donna

Thank you Paula, I'm feeling a bit better today. I think it was a genetic thing she got passed on by her father , the one who passed away in August,He was termed a misfit when we got him cuz he was missing toes and also one wing shorter then the other,but I'm a sucker for the underdog and we loved him just the same, Although beebs had no outward signs no one knows whats inside. I just pray the other two babies got most of thier genes from thier momma, she was strong and healthy from the day she was born. The ones we expected to have trouble with was prince, the misfit, and foo becouse he was born preemie,His egg hatched 3 days early and he was half the size of the other two. Shel

Topic: RE: Tuesday's Oprah
Well, Oprah has made it very clear that she's totally against WLS...so, I can see why she'd put a negative spin on it. Is Sharon Osbourne (Ozzy's wife) going to be on, too? She's having her lap band removed because she can't stand the restriction of the band making her throw up and getting sick from over eating. SHe's gained back 15 pounds recently and wants it removed so she can do weight loss the "psychological" way. By going to therapy and figure out why she overeats obessively. Whatever... So far, this is the best thing I could have done for myself. It's a proven fact that there will be a slight weight gain after two years. The graphs and studies show and prove it's so. But, if we work the program and exercise, we don't necessarilly have to fall into that stastic.. Paula

Hi Shel, It's not you...it's the circle of life...everything that is born must die, sometime. I'm sorry for your loss. You wouldn't want her to suffer...But, trying to justify it doesn't make you feel any better... Take time to grieve your beebs and eventually you will feel a bit better. I hope she wasn't sick to spread it to the others. Feel better. paula
