    Thanks for the note! Things are going well here and we have been enjoying a little warming trend. It was below zero for weeks but this week it has gotten up to the 3o! Heaven! LOL! I'm spending a lot of time walking my dog and working. ) That's about it. Glad to hear you got together with Gwen! Jane and I hope to come to Europe in a year or so if that happens, it would be fun to meet you all! Thanks again for the note! -Mike-

    I am new here and finding it hard to make contact. I have posted a message on the newbie page, I am in west Sussex and waiting for surgery only I havent told anyone and dont have anyone to discuss all the anxieties that go with this decision with so I am hoping to find some support in here. Your photos are amazing and your attitude inspirational. Jigsaw.

    Hi Vim

    Hope everything is ok with you haven't heard from you in a while.

    Roxanne did well and is back home safe and sound I am pleased to say, she is a nice lady.

    Weight sill coming off me, haven't got an accurate scales but should imagine that I am nearly at the weight Dr D wanted me.

    Had a phone call from his dietician the other day to see how my weight was coming off and to tell me that the last two weeks pre op I have to drink 3 Slimfast meals a day, that's all. That is only 600 cals a day hope it doesn't make me ill.

    Going on my own this time which doesn't worry me but I don't know how I will feel on the return journey after the op.

    Roll on the 11th March it can't come soon enough for me. Hope there are no hitches this time, My mum is 91 and hasn't been too good lately and as the only child I do all the caring for her that I can. I will have to ask my son to keep an eye on her.

    Bye for now, keep in touch, Love Bob, X

    Dear Vim

    Thanks for the nice comments they were very upportive. My doctor says that 1000 cals a day is not enough for me and he wants me to boost it to 15000 but I don't want anything to go wrong in Brugge this time and I have 9 weeks to lose 7 and a half kilos which should be easy as I have lost 12 and a half in the past 9 weeks so I am stiking to the 1000cal.

    I was wondering what vitamin supplements that Dr D advises and do you take them or do you take something else? Love Bob XXX

I have reached a different understanding in how we do or fail to cope with the mental replacement of our previous junk eating. Thank you Mike Fisher (Fisher1000) and Jacki (Splendifor) for your comments in my earlier threads - you have paved a clearer path for me!

Learning to reapply our mental frustration from not "being able" to junk eat is something we all agree on. But wherein the struggle lies, I believe is akin to starting retirement. When you have worked your butt...

Exactly 4 months out today.
I have lost 42% of my wls journey so far.
I am SO very happy at the improved me, at being FREE, feeling younger, lighter and just grateful to be ALIVE...

You know that feeling you get at times, such as "falling in love", finding the "dream" house, that "great" job...? You just know it when you see it. But know what exactly? Well, you "know" that the glove fits, that everything...

Thinking in First Person…

I really feel guilty! I have been indulging in myself these last 9 months. The duration of a pregnancy. The outcome has been the birth of ME!

I, I, I, me, me, me!

It’s all about what I think, how I look, how I feel, what I am doing, what I will be doing, my involvement in any given situation. From having stood at the back of most photographs, here I am at the front, taking full centre view! I feel good, I feel strong, I...

Take a peach. Sun ripened, room temperature and just ripe, not overly ripe… Have you ever felt your lips reaching the velvety skin of a peach, them pursing as you sink your teeth into the flesh? Have you ever peeled off the velvety, dry, soft skin on top with your teeth, and felt your teeth meet the flesh of the fruit? Your tongue coming to the aid to catch the sweet aromatic juices as your teeth sink into the firm, soft flesh? You take a first bite, your mouth bursts with flavour, sweetness,...

A fun thread came on yesterday, with a table of the equivalent of your loss by a different measure

According to it, I have lost the equivalent of an elephant's heart, have still a 5000 BTU air conditioner to lose until I reach my goal of a 2 month old horse.

However, as I feel stronger and different about my weight loss surgery than I do compared with any other dieting I have ever done, I know that my RNY will work! I am DETERMINED for it to WORK! I SHALL SUCCEED!...
