Happy May Everyone!

It's cold as heck here, the wind blowing in off the Water, freezing. I went to my beach house this weekend, the Water was churning like there was a hurricane going on, as far as you could see out, nothing but white caps and white water, and it was cold there too.

I've got so many flowers to pot and it's too dang cold to do it.

The pic is from a cell phone, modern tech, see where he gets his cheeks from....

So...NJ Chick..you'll be back later...after you go outside to ???? LOL

Pat, our family is blessed with chipmunk cheeks, too. So cute! That's a great picture.

Darcy, Sorry about Ava's trouble. I hope it gets better. My dog had a short episode of that. The neighbor kid hurt him and scared him, so he would lunge at him and his sister. So we had them feed him treats every time they came near. There was never another episode of agression. I hope yours works out so well. Thanks for the very pretty picture. I wish I could smell them.

We are having chilly but sunny days here. It's a big relief from our months of rain. I should go for a walk. Maybe I will. :)

Hello, everyone!

Pat, I'm so glad you reminded us to move over here to the May chat...I swear I have lost most of my brain somewhere...anyone seen it? Love the picture of your gbaby. Both of you are adorable!

Darcy, the hyacinths are gorgeous. Great photgraphy, too!

Eileen, how's it shakin? I don't think we say that about May, even in East Texas! But it's funny....I don't even like to EAT outside....

Okay, ya'll know about my speeding ticket in Oklahoma...well, I paid it, but apparently I was supposed to pay it in March, not April...so Friday I got a letter saying thank you for the check for your fine, but you didn't appear in court in March, so we have a warrant for you and that'll be $530, bend over and say thank you. I've made calls, and that's the way it is. No leeway for honest mistakes in N. Enid, OK. I have kids that break into houses and pay less than that. This rant could continue for many more sentences, but I think you get the idea. Oh, the original fine was $150, so all in all, it cost me $680 dollars to go 15 miles over the 35 mph speed limit for that one block.

OH, HI, Becky! Wanna make sure to welcome you here! (there is no connection between the above paragraph and this greeting!)

Got to buy a few new clothes yesterday...that was pretty fun.

Otherwise, busy with DD and not even home most of this weekend, so that's why I didn't stop by. Hope everyone is doing well, and getting along. Hugs to everyone, Cindy

I swear I am losing it today! Since I was one of the S L O W people today I posted on the April chat, even though dang, where is everyone at? DUH!

So, I am just copying my post here!:) :) :rant:

Hello Y'all!

Sneaking in here for just a minute, my show Prison Break is on shortly and I can't miss it!

I have to tell you that I have stayed on my diet all day (so far)! They even had chocolate cake with vanilla icing with carmel dripped all over it at work! They brought me a piece, I told them no, then here come another gal with another piece for me! Yikes! I was strong and said "no thanks".

I had to go to the ear specialist today, he thinks it is swimmers ear, but wants me to have a hearing test. He said before he became a doctor, he had the same symptoms and it was an inner ear infection. Hmmmmmm, I told him if the insurance paid for it I would, but otherwise I couldn't. He gave me some nose spray and ear drops. So, here I go with the drops again!

Kat - I rode behind DH about a week or two out, it didn't hurt me one bit. I didn't ride my harley for 3 or 4 weeks though. I wanted to make sure I was good and healed up. You brought back memories for me with the May baskets, we used to do the same thing when I was young! You made me smile!

Darcy - You're right, it just isn't the same w/o a fire! We use to keep ours going 24/7 while we were up there. Of course on the weekend, it wasn't 7! You are doing great with not smoking, I am really proud of you. I know how hard it is. Just remind yourself that when you get the urge that it will be over in just a few minutes. Hugs!

Well, going to run, the show is almost on and they are supposed to do the break tonight!

Later!

Hey Cindy - Boy I bet you'll never forget to pay another ticket! Talk about sticking it to you! Court costs my a$$! All they do is take it into the judge and he signs it! Whoopie Dee! Sorry you had to pay so much!

Becky - Did you get your walk in? Glad to see you came back today!:)

Darcy - Love the picture, they are some of my favorite spring flowers! Boy do they smell good!

Pat - How sweet! He is just precious!

Mary - It's hot here, maybe that is a good excuse for me not going for a walk!:) :rant: :)

Eileen - Now that song will be stuck in my head forever! I'll probably be singing it all night long! ROFLMAO!

Hey to Sherry, Anne, Donna, Dianne, Paula, Beanie, Patty (already said hi to Kat on the April thread) and whoever else I missed.

I'm watching the Mavs now, gotta run!

Hey Jersey Peeps... what's happening, Yo LOL leftovers from the teens!

So, oops hold on.........................OK. Just had to go Yak! Like you really needed to know that! Putting away leftovers and I don't know what came over me to put that peice of pork n my mouth and then to swallow it!!!!! Well, It may have had gone down, but it was a sh0rt visit.

So, DH and I went to his end of the year luncheon for H & R Block. Afterwards we went to the mall so I could get my favorite lotion. He normally doesn't come with me. We are walking around and I see the Chico's store. I have never shopped there because I didn't fit in their clothes. We went in and talked to the sales woman and she asigned me a sales person. So, this is where it starts to get out of hand. She takes me to a dressing room and starts bringing me clothes... AND THEY ARE FITTING.

Now I like nice things, but I don't buy anything that isn't on sale. I keep trying things on... I like them, she keeps bringing me more. This is like me eating at a buffet.... why stop when there are still clothes in the store.

I pick out a few "things", go the register to check out. IT WAS $602.00!!!! WHAT THE F###! I never even checked the prices... I left the store, DH was waiting for me outside and said oh good you got a few things!!!! I said not for long... they are all going back tomorrow.! I was literally in a state of shock. Not that they cost that much , that I went into a trance or something. Hell, I'll blame it on PMS... my husband blames everything else on it LOL

Yesterday DH asked to see the stuff and I showed him.... He told me to keep one outfit because I have done so well with my weight loss... I am taking the rest back. One shirt and one crop pants... $198. Now I need somewhere nice to where it! LOL

So, Happy Monday to you all,

I'll check in later or tomorrow.

Kisses

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        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!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • 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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        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. 💜
