At this point, the 15th or the 22nd are both fine for me!

I'm going to see if I can get my first generation digital camera going. I don't know how to use it...and I can't afford a newer, user-friendlier one. I gotta work with what I've got. Now, where's that manual? LOL

The summer is flying by folks! Pool party in August!!! Yippeee!!!

I know you don't want to hear anything from me because I never show up even when I say I will, but any day is fine for me too, as far as I know.

Party? HA, nope. But I did manage to run into the stupid slide out on the camper and give my self a nice goose egg on my forehead and a nice cut.

I tried to play it off, then the stupid thing started bleeding so i had to admit I ran into the camper.

oh how embarassing!

Wavy you are too funny...

Well I can't make it on the 15th. I have a 50th Anniv party to go to for an Aunt and Uncle in Monroe. So there is no way I can be there by 12:00 if I am w/ you girls @ 11:30. :think Oh my what I am going to do not seeing you all.

Don't plan the pool party w/o me. hehe...The only 2 saturday's we can use the pool in Aug is 5th and 19th...do either of those days work for everyone. I will put us on the calendar @ granny's house. Who is very excited to have everyone. She loves meeting new people. Grandpa does to. :)

The 5th is my vote for the pool party. School starts for us on the 21st, and Rachel's birthday (number 7!) is the 20th...I don't have anything planned yet but she wants to do a sleepover party Fri night and we'll have a Family something on Sat night...anyhow, the 19th is loaded already. So, the 5th is better for us.

Kim! I can't believe you can't be at lunch on July 15th...REALLY?!!!!!! How can that be?! LOL I guess we can hold down the fort without you :)

Jill, you are a crack up! Ouch! But you tell a great story so it's hard not to laugh!!!!

Awright Denika...I'm still holding out for you. BUT! I may be able to meet you in Hickory when Leatha comes to town next week. I'm driving! I understand if Hickory is too far but I think I can swing it even though we have VBS that week at church in Huntersville...I'll be hitting 77N to I40W.

ANYhow...it all falls together! Okay, potty training calls this morning. Ya'll wish me luck...

I'm not sure what my July and August plans are yet, we The Three T's aren't the most socially demanded family, so we have free times.

I don't know if I can get into a bathing suit, ever. We just returned from Myrtle beach and my bathing suit was too big in the butt. I have all this extra material hanging down in the rump. Like Dianne, my chest hasn't shrunk a bit either. So, I'm big on top and no trunk to pack my junk. Go figure. I wore shorts over the swim suit to hide my bagginess. I just bought the suit last month. ANy ideas for something suitable? I need to go to carowinds but not with sagging butt.

ANyone going to carowinds next weekend?

Things have changed, and I'm obligated to a church function on July 15th; so I'm not going to be able to make it this month after all :confused: Bummer!

      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..

      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.
