    I hope your DH can glean some of the love, support and caring your TT family is giving you... what a tragedy for you all...

    There was a horrible house explosion here a month or so ago - an acquaintance of mine was killed, leaving behind her pugs! If only I could get you all together... you could heal each other!

    Give your Mr. a giant hug from me, ok?

    Hey Vim

    Thanks for thinking of me - I haven't been around much lately as still haven't managed to get broadband up and running at our new apartment yet but hopefully next week some time.

    Things have been a little tough but we're making it just fine. The insurance companies have been great, although a little tedious. Things are progressing well and we should look at getting our house back in around 6 months time.

    The insurance company have put us in a fabulous apartment right in town and we are loving it - I want to buy it! ;o)

    If I a completely honest I have not been dealing with the stress very well at all - eating like a horse - haven't put on any weight but I know it's only a matter of time. I need to regain some control in my life and that starts Monday. These sods stole my home but they will not make me gain my weight back!

    Anyways, enough about me - how are things progressing for you? Summer is here at last so I bet you're full of the joys. ;o)

    Catch up soon.

    Hi Vim....
    Can you tell me how the 5 day pouch test went? I'm 10yrs out on by Gastric Bypass, and have gained about 1/2 the lost wt back. I'm giving serious thought of having a revision, but I want to make sure the my pouch is broke, (I'm sure it's my bad habits tho'). I'm just curious because I haven't seen any results of the groups "test". I appreciate any info or help you can pass onto me!

    Hi Vim. I haven't been on TT very much since I went back to work on July 1. I am SO tired...it seems like I get home from work, lay down on the couch to nap, and then get up and go to bed again. My iron levels are pretty low...working on getting that built back up. I'm sure that is probably why I'm so darned tired. Thanks for asking about me.

    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!...
