I usually go in every evening and minimize the window and do other things surfing the net. The window stays down at the bottom of my screen and the doorbell rings when someone comes into the chat room. I can hear it ring and open the window. It's usually around 7-8:00 Pacific time but I leave the window open until I go to bed.

Thought I'd hop in chat for a bit tonight. John crashed out early ! ! ! I won't be in late tonight. The roof guy is coming by at 8am.

I haven't been opening the window because nobody seems to want to chat.

It would be nice to get a regular night and time set.

I don't want to commit to something that I may not be able to always attend. But, I'll definitely do my best to make it in more often.

The biggest issue right now is that John is trying to get adjusted to the time change, and sleeping habits are out of whack.

But, I'm in tonight for a bit.

oregondaisy,

I have been popping into the chat room, but until last night there was nobody there. It was great to see 4 or 5 people there last night.

One question - I was chatting and then went back to the forum, when I returned to the chat room it logged me in again. So it looks like you can't be in 2 places at the same time? Forum & Chat? Is that correct?

Thanks,

Nancy

Nancy - if you go up to the chat "button" and then RIGHT CLICK on your mouse and select "Open in new window" it will open chat in a separate window and then you can still have the forum opened and go back and forth between the two without getting logged out of either. Hope this helps!

I'll get to the chat room again one of these nights~!

Thanks VegasAngel,

I tried it and it still logged me out. Then I tried Open in new tab, and that worked. If you are still on-line can you go into the chat room so I can double check it?

Thanks

Nancy

I usually just minimize the chat window, leaving it down at the bottom of my screen. I go to my browser and open a new window with the forums. I click back and forth between the two.

I'll check in the chat room tonight and see if anyone is in there!

I can't chat for a week because I am in Arizona getting my dad's house ready to rent to snow birds.

I'll check back with the chatters when I return on Sunday!

      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!

      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.
