Disney Gives Me the Warm Fuzzies. January 2010 PreTrip Report. Update 11/6 Pg. 79

[Lady Lallie]

Just out of curiousity...have you ever heard me use the word muscle wall????? I'm not sure I even know what that means LOL!!!! So we definitely have a deal LOL!!! And you don't have to stop saying Tweaking it amuses me too LOL!!!!

Acclimitization....ughh it stinks...what a horrible thing to have happen to a biology teacher LOL!!!! I used to dance around in the snow at 32 degrees in shorts and sandals...okay not really that was Prince P but I wore a light coat and now I can't handle the lower 60s and don't get me started on the 40s LOL!!!! I shiver like a pansy LOL!!! SO SAD!!!

Okay now I'm depressed about tomorrow who will keep me company during my planning period???? OH well at least you and Marc are going together and that will be a good thing you can keep each other entertained between appointments!!!!!

You would not believe how many times I've heard the term "muscle wall" since I signed up for my surgery. That is where they attached my port and it just creeps me out completely.

You know I'm going to point and laugh at you if you are shivering in Disney World in January, right?

I would text you but my cell isn't working plus I don't think your students would be amused by their teacher texting.

LL- I hear you about people in your business about what you eat. You know I'm a vegetarian...I can't get through ONE meal at work without some comment. my fave is "What are you EATING?"...like I'm eating something repulsive all of the time. Plus it's obvious I've gained weight & people are judging my food choices. I HATE it! I hope your dr visit tomorrow goes perfectly & don't let nosey people throw you off track!

Ewww...now I have a visual...okay that word beats tweaking for horribleness LOL!!!!

I won't just be shivering, I'm a teeth chatterer LOL...I can't control it but when I get cold the teeth start going and its terrible LOL and you'd laugh at me LOL!!!! It's alright I'll try to teeth chatter in time to Disney songs then we both can be amused!!!

Yeah, I don't think that would go over so well LOL!!! My students would mutiny on me!! Besides its lecture day I need to do something not so much fun before our fun day on Friday LOL!

I was way back on Version 6.0! Great updates though, and I think it's hilarious that Jen is restricting you from changing it more for a while!

Did anyone get this one? I got so excited that I knew one right away! ToonTown Playground!!

I also have to say I really like your itinerary cards and the cover is beautiful!! Very nice work! It will make such a nice keepsake after the trip too.

I'm sorry to hear about the personal frustrations though - I skipped a bit of the chit chat...how did it all turn out at the doctors??

 

[Flossbolna]

LL, I have been wondering wether your appointment wasn't coming up soon! I hope all goes well!

I can absolutely understand how annoying it is when other people watch what you are eating. They claim to be "helping", but if they really wanted to help they should try to figure out which kind of help you need and keep their mouth shut...

Don't feel bad about those Jelly Beans. I am trying to lose weight with WW and one thing I like about it is that it teaches me how to eat a healthy diet without having to forgo everything slightly "unhealthy". I just need to do it within reason. So I think having a few Jelly Beans is really rather a step in the right direction!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

7.0 looks great and your $$ is MUCH better spent at WDW than a Park & Fly. Smart hubby you have!!

Sorry to hear things are frustrating with your diet. Good luck today! I cant' top the good advice previous posters have offered so I'll just offer hugs.

Hang in there. I'll be thinking of you and hoping it goes well at the Dr!

 

[Native NYer]

Yay for another day at POFQ

Don't beat yourself up. Everything will work out fine with your weight loss. Think positive thoughts

 

[MeMom]

What a great idea Marc had to add that night! You have a keeper there, LL!

Hang in there with the eating thing. Nothing comes easy in life, and we all get frustrated at times. It just makes us appreciate the good things even more. I've gained so much weight since I first started having my knee troubles because I had to stop walking. I am now getting to where I can walk almost correctly again after the surgery, but I still have a small stride and limited side to side motion. I want to get out and walk for miles so badly and knock off some of these pesky pounds. If I lived near you, we could walk every evening and talk Disney!

Don't get discouraged. Every day is a new one. Just do what you can do and make the best of what you can't do. Don't let other people's comments get you down. We all think you are an awesome and incredible gal, jelly beans and all!!!

 

[shannn]

Yay for another night~~ It makes such a difference in a day when it starts in Disney.

I'm so sorry with the diet difficulties. Honestly, diet coke is one of the things that I don't know how I'm going to give up after my surgery. It kills me to even think about it. My doctor said that it was a possibility that I'd eventually be able to manage a small amount ~~ I keep hanging on to that thought. I also don't know how I'm going to eat without drinking. How weird!

I know just how you fell about well-intentioned friends/family. When I was doing Jenny Craig people would bug me if they saw me eating anything that wasn't a JC product! I think it's great that you found those jelly beans!!

Hang in there! Your body is your business!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

We all think you are an awesome and incredible gal, jelly beans and all!!!

I love this! Good luck today LL.

Awww LL
My next door neighbor had the lap band done probably a year and a half ago. She has had some ups and downs but keeps pushing through. She is now in a program where she goes monthly and has been monitoring her weight loss very closely. She is going with me on my May trip and she is super excited. I think it has made more of a goal for her.

So happy that you are able to add another night

Loving this PTR. You and Jen make a great team, and quite entertaining I might add. Cant wait until she is in Texas so you can visit and I can meet both of you. Well since I cant plan my own trip (just yet) I am enjoying yours.

Hope everything goes well for you today!! Let me know how it goes!!
Yay, for Marc going with you-good hubby!!!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Hope everything went okay for you today, and you feel a bit more bolstered up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[belle8306]

I hope things went well today! I was thinking good thoughts for you!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hi LL,
Just posted on FB, but wanted to post here, too, just in case....hope things went well for you today! Thinking of you!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I'm also checking in to see how everything went.

 

[Lady Lallie]

LL- I hear you about people in your business about what you eat.

Plus it's obvious I've gained weight & people are judging my food choices. I HATE it! I hope your dr visit tomorrow goes perfectly & don't let nosey people throw you off track!

I get that too sometimes since Marc & I cook with tofu, you get the whole scrunched nose look like you are eating garbage.

Ewww...now I have a visual...okay that word beats tweaking for horribleness LOL!!!!

I won't just be shivering, I'm a teeth chatterer LOL...I can't control it but when I get cold the teeth start going and its terrible LOL and you'd laugh at me LOL!!!! It's alright I'll try to teeth chatter in time to Disney songs then we both can be amused!!!

Yeah, I don't think that would go over so well LOL!!! My students would mutiny on me!! Besides its lecture day I need to do something not so much fun before our fun day on Friday LOL!

Well I got a real visual today let me tell you. They had a model of a stomach with a band around it and these little pull out tabs so while I was waiting for Marc I'm pulling out the tabs and reading them. They had a diagram of how they attach the port to your muscle wall.

I chatter my teeth too! LOL. Let's hope it's not cold or we are going to make quite the pair.

I was way back on Version 6.0! Great updates though, and I think it's hilarious that Jen is restricting you from changing it more for a while!

Someone did get the Where am I but you are correct! The ToonTown Playground!

I'm going to update later tonight with the doctor update.

LL, I have been wondering wether your appointment wasn't coming up soon! I hope all goes well!

I just need to do it within reason. So I think having a few Jelly Beans is really rather a step in the right direction!

You know, that is what my nutrionist said today. That a few jelly beans is not going to hurt me. She also gave me a good thing to say when people are bugging me about what I'm eating. "I'm working with a team of doctors who closely monitor my progress and diet, thanks for your concern." I rather like that.

7.0 looks great and your $$ is MUCH better spent at WDW than a Park & Fly. Smart hubby you have!!

He has his moments.

That is what I'm trying to do. Positive thoughts not negative!

Thanks MeMom! I really wish I had a DISer close enough to walk with at night. That would be so awesome!

Trust me, I didn't know how I would eat without drinking either but I quickly understood why you are not supposed to do that. The best way I can describe for me with the band is that it feels like a volcano bubbling up in my throat if I drink while eating.

I love this! Good luck today LL.

Thank you!

Goals are good. I have a few that I am implementing for myself. I think I'm going to make some signs to hang up around the house to keep me motivated.

Oh yes, I can't wait for that future DIS meet either!

Guess what came in the mail today!?!?

It looks great. I'm really impressed by the quality of it. My hair looks a little red though. It is now safely residing on my refrigerator.

I pre-ordered "Up" from the Disney Store and I received these awesome pins. I just love them.

I have been so focused on my itinerary tweaking that I haven't been focusing on the countdown aspect of this trip.

Can you believe that it's only 75 more days!!

Eeeeeeeeeee!!

I'm refusing to change my ticker again. So it's going to be off a day. I think I can live with that.

I just want to thank everyone for all the kind words you said last night after my vent. I really appreciate all of you and love that I have people rooting for me!

My doctors appointment went really well today! I've lost another 5lbs for a grand total of 43lbs!!



I'm really excited!

The fill by the surgeon was so quick and easy! It was amazing. It took all of 30 seconds it seemed. I was worried for nothing. He doesn't think there will be any problems going forward so no more surgery for me! Yahoo!! I go back in two weeks to meet with the nutritionist again and for another fill by the surgeon.

I mentioned that I made myself a paper chain countdown to 100lbs lost. Here it is.

57 more pounds to go!

I will leave with you a recent pictures of Marc & I. He's on track for his surgery on November 11th.

 

[princess&her4princes]

Love the new magnet! It's just perfect!!!

SO glad that things went so well for you today, I was thinking of you all day and was so glad to hear the good news! And you look GREAT girl! WOW....keep up the great work!! I hope that Marc's upcoming surgery goes as well as yours did! Keep us posted!!
