I am here! I have been trying to deal with my new restriction, finally! I am in an all new learning phase. I am still trying to figure out what I can eat and I am learning my list is getting smaller and smaller. But I am OK.

You gals keep sending the invites I promise I am going to eventually make it to something. Now keep up the good work, drink Water, no soda, exercise and push those carbs away. So that's what you really missed was me cracking that whip on the two of you. :bandit

Now, now, be good. Let's not talk about people in their face. You know your Mama taught you better. I just need to figure out what I can eat. I thought chicken was ok but the other day it wasn't so great. I had some soft tacos the other day and that seemed to work. salad still works, thank God. I am still experimenting though but really dont give up on me. I plan on making it to one of the luncheons or meeting, I promise. Thanks for thinking of me.

Be careful with the chicken. I can have chicken sometimes, depending on how it is prepared, what time of day it is, if the moon is full or if it is snowing. LOL One day I can't eat any chicken the next day I'm able to eat 2 pieces of popeyes....opppps did I tell on myself.

Anyhow, we look forward to meeting you. Keep up the Great work.

you all are so funny! Teresa, I feel you on that one, if the moon is in the second house or whatever, I can eat some chicken...but on other days, it's a no go. I will never be able to eat soft tacos or burritos or bread again :) too chewy and they form a lump that gets stuck. we all have to try to be good over the holidays, but I have some good news...I lost 3 more pounds...I am at 209.5, and am closer than ever to my goal of having a weight that starts with a 1 instead of a 2....I'll have to take some pictures of me in my Lane Bryant stuff I bought, so you can all see ! and, ps, don't hate on people's cars being messy - you should see mine! love ya all!!!

Oh my young grasshopper, you have not learned yet. All these things are possible in the right house. When the moon sets on the Dove in East, that is when you will be able to have these lucisous gifts.

Woohoooo 3 more pounds gone, you go girl. You are going to have to take in that juicy outfit and then it will say icy. What can we do to help you get to your 1's? Just let us know.:banana:banana

Dag Carrie don't tell the world that your car is a mess....:)

They can see it's a mess just by looking in the window!!! Ok, if you really want to help you can make me report to you guys what I eat because I am sucking at that right now. I did buy my Biotin, and take it every day...I don't eat a lot, but it's mostly bad :rolleyes: and I don't exercise. My goal is to start exercising next week, because school and finals will be over then. I just need to be accountable for my actions, you know? Take responsibility. Because I'm sure it would come off a lot faster if I did. Thanks guys!!!

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
