 Morning Mo peeps. I had a wow moment last night. I thought I was done with them since its been a while since I have lost any weight. We went to a friends house last night and another couple of friends came over and the guy came up and introduced himself to me. I just smiled and thought he is just being silly. He went on into another room and in a few minutes I heard him ask DH where I was and then he came running to hug me saying he didn't even know who I was. Granted I haven't seen him in several months but I haven't changed that much. STill made me feel pretty good.

Sorry I missed the meeting of COF but will try hard for the next one. Hope to see lots of you Saturday in Waynesville.

Hope you all have a great Sunday.

Susie, Didn't that just make you feel great?! That reminded me of a wow moment myself...I hadn't lost any significant weight for awhile either, so I wan;t expecting this. When I went to Oregon for the first time in 5 yr.s...my son (who is 26) and I went to the mall and one of his old friends who used to practically live with us (i hadn't seen him in 10 yr.s ) turns out he worked at one of the shops...he came up to my son and hugged him started talking, until he noticed me, then he said Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to ignore you, I said what "I don't get a hug for all those meals"? laughing....he looked at me with big eyes..."your NOT?!" i SAID YES i AM ...WELL HE FINALLY HUGGED ME, BUT i STILL DON'T THINK HE BELIEVED IT WAS ME...LATER ON MY SON SAID HIS FRIEND THOUGHT HE WAS "WITH ME" (sorry about the caps) that was an awesome moment    , probably not so much for my son...lol but it sure made my day. thanks for that reminder.

Susie those wow moments are great arent they , no matter when they come and they probably are even better cause it has been awhile since you had one. lol
of course it makes you feel good ...lol that is why they are called wow moments ...trying to be smart here.
hope you all have a great meeting at the new support group

  

Well here it is Sunday and beautiful outside, was planning on going fishing but have to replace the water heater elements. Not such a difficult job, but have to drain it, then since we're on a well we need to try and get as much of the mineral deposits out as we can, so when all is said and done it will be an all day project.

Start my liquid a week from tomorrow so think I'm gonna try replace one meal a day with protein shake see if I can get myself in the mode. I so want the surgery to be as easy as possible.

Susan~I think being on the liquid has put me in fear of failure, I keep getting a feeling like I don't know if I can do this,although I know I'm not going to starve, it's like I may never be able to eat again, sometimes I think it's going to be harder than when I quit smoking, guess I will have to white knuckle it and do one day at a time. LOL

Susie~That's a wow moment and a half. I plan on visiting my brothers and sister in CA around a year after surgery, would be the greatest thing if they don't recognize me at the door.

SusyAlba~I think you had a double wow. I know your son probably didn't understand, but I do. You GO GIRL!.

Jan~Hope you and Sugar had a real good time. Look forward to seeing you in May. Might be able to get our fishing trip going next month. I think this month we're gonna be busy trying to catch up again.

Well my youngest is going to be here soon to start draining the water heater, need to get some things done so I can make supper. Will talk to you all later,

  

Jeanie so sorry that you didnt come down fishing but some of the neighbors went and they didnt get a bite so probably just as well.
maybe soon...if now at least after your surgery.
anyway i understand about now being able to do something you want to do when you have to do something else. ....it will all work out sweetie. missed seeing you this month.
wont be long now till you start your liquid diet. ,,,,stock up on the sugar free popcicles.   wal mart has some tropical one if you can get there before Andy and Susan lol just a joke Susan.....

A beautiful day here.  I didn't get as much done in my room as I had hoped but I did cut out a dress and sew it together.  I had some errands to run at Target and the grocery store.  I need to do those things Friday evening then have a Saturday to work on my sewing projects.

I hate to admit this but I put on a pair of crop pants I wore last year and they are a little snug.  So, I better hunker down and exercise and watch my eating.  I don't eat much at meals but it's snacking that is getting me. 

Max worked outside all day yesterday and I think he overdid it.  No painting today.  He was very restless and about midnight fell out of bed.  I helped him back in bed but he was restless, tossing and turning and kicking I moved to the couch.  He got up about 10 this morning and doesn't remember a thing about last night.  I've asked twice if he wants to go to the ER to be checked out.  He may have had a TIA.  I'll be keeping a close eye on him.

Jeanie, I won't kid you and say the liquid diet is easy because it isn't.  I worked the first 5 days and it was rough, but my co-workers kept me going.  They didn't eat anything around me and when I was tempted to eat they kept me on track.  My doctor said water and liquid protein only, but I did eat some Jello and SF popcycles.  My surgery was on Tuesday and the Saturday before I was just starving for something to eat.  Max was gone and I found a miniature Snickers.  It tasted so wonderful but I felt so guilty.  That's the only cheat I did.  Keep your eye on the prize.

Those WOW moments are great aren't they!! 

Jo that is what i was afraid of when i got out my summer clothes. so i held my breath too lol maybe that is why they fit....lol   no thank God they all fit...i was sure hoping so because i bought a whole wardrobe of summer stuff last year all in size 10s and i sure wasnt going to buy any more.

aw man so sorry about Max....darn that man cant win for losing can he?
hope he is better today...

you know i dont think i know of anyone that did the liquid diet without cheating a bite or two on something. ,,,,lol
