Saturday April 22nd?



Recommended Posts

Ok how about an informal thing on the 22nd. Not that any of ours are formal. haha We thought coffee, tea, smoothie? We thought the mall in Pineville unless someone knows of another coffee house somewhere that does more then just coffee?

Thoughts??

Other things to keep in mind...for May how about Saturday May 20th since we are going to have a get together on April 22nd?

How about a pool party in June w/ the families? Melissa, Kathy and I thought it sounded good. My grandparents have a pool and I asked them today if we could have a party there and they said they would love for us to. Want the kids be out of school then? A saturday you don't have to get in the pool but I know the kids will love it. We thought a pot luck? We have a grill there so we could grill something.

Ok enough about that....hope to see you all soon!!!!

Please don't shy away we don't have to wear swin suits....but it want matter we will be in front of friends. The kids will have fun. I will say I know the first weekend in June isn't good I have a graduation and a surprise birthday party that weekend.

I still have coffee/smoothies at Carolina Place Mall penciled in for Saturday if others can make it. What time? 10 a.m.? If we do this, I'll be bringing my Mom. Shoot, even if we Charlotte area LBT folks don't go I may drag my Mom off to Carolina Place. :)

Drat, we are going out of town to see family the 22nd.

Pool party sounds good! As long as everyone has sunglasses to sheild their eye from "never sees the sun" white skin. :)

Okay, just got a high school reunion thing for hubby...its for the weekend of th 17th. We will be on the cruise the weekend of the 24th. So the only weekend that works forme it the 10th, and like I said it will be afternoon before I could get there since Karah has to dance that morning.

It looks like I'll be able to go to carolina place on Saturday...I might have to do the smoothy instead of my typical coffee. I'm trying to kick the habit currently. I figure I spend around 20 dollars a week at starbucks...gotta break the habit.

Alrighty, I just HAVE to back out on Sat. Hubby has to work and can't watch Tyler and we are going to Mooresville that afternoon, early, to work at my Dad's (yard work, housecleaning, etc) and it's just too much to fit into a day, especially with 2 kiddos all day. Whew! If I could come and relax and enjoy I'd squeeze it in, but I need to just wait and get together in May. I'll see where the chips fall on a weekend. We aren't going anywhere, so I should be clear for whatever Sat ya'll pick. 20th? Wasn't there talk of a dinner get-together? I'm confused. I'll keep my eyes peeled, though! LOL Ya'll have fun Sat!!!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      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'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

    • LeighaTR

      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!
