Argon's Activities

I am going to buy the Fairytale Christmas for my kids!!! Do you get royalties??

My kids watch all those animated shows.. Do you know Deliah and Julius? A kids show on teletoon, I kept imaging that you animated that one!

Your avtar, is that your drawing??

Hope you get the job!!

Ooooh nooooo! Don't do that! I can't be held responsible if it's horrible!! OK?!

Haha, no, no royalties, unfortunetly!

Some of my friends from Saskatoon are working (or were, I think that show's done now) on Delilah and Julius (in Halifax)!

My avatar, actually my boyfriend did that for me. I don't think I'm a great draw-er, and definitely not compared to him!

Thanks for the good vibes! I'll keep ya all updated! :)

Now I have to go... Dan's making me make a birthday and christmas list. Ugg... I'm so bad at that. I really don't want anything. All I have on my list is comfy socks, and perfume. Can you guys think of any thing? Even list things YOU want, and maybe that will give me some ideas of things I might want!

Well, how about gift certificates to get new clothes, a day at the spa, pajamas, house coat, body cream, bath salts, scented candles, jewelry like something with your birthstone or something with a Canadian diamond, like a Bracelet, pendant, ring, anklet. How about books, like your favorite author or a book of slow cooker recipes. Oh I know, a new computer or accessories for a computer, a new laser mouse, maybe a some of software you'd really like. A laptop so that you can have access to the internet wherever you go. A tool kit for repairing glasses. I can go on and on......Let me know if you would like anymore suggestions.

Hope this helps

Wow, your good Wheezy!! What do I want??

Well, let's see..for starters how about a gift certificate at Micheal's, then once your husband is elected have him influence either cable or the the phone company to put the cables down your road for high speed internet so that I don't have to feel so bad if I post a very large photo. In the meantime, I will avoid posting any pictures.

LOL.......Awwwww, don't feel bad, post away!!! I can always do what the kids do and leave the computer on all night, usually by morning they have what they needed!!

Hopefully, those damn council-people will get with it and get us some high speed!!

I have cable light speed internet. It's cheaper than high speed yet it's pretty fast. 10000000X faster than dial up (at least it seems that way). It's only been a year since we are able to get cable. We still can't get a high speed phone lines here.

Oh my goodness.... I WAS about to go to bed, (in much pain from being tortured at the gym with my new 'routine', and thinking of tonights fabulous episode of "Heroes"), went to the bathroom, then proceded to look at my stomach... then push it all in, and see what could be.

THEN... I actually grabbed my stomach, pulled it up, and it all came! Very easily!!! OY! Could this be my first sign that I will indeed have some mega hanging skin!? I could always grab my stomach and move it around, but THIS... this was like pulling up a squishy pair of pants!!!

Ugg... off to bed to dream of lower body lifts, I guess.

(p.s I hope you don't mind my stupid blurbs here and there.... but this is my thread afterall, and if I can't say stupid things here, where can I? I suppose its kind of like a journal/blog... I like to be able to look back and see when things happened)

Oh! What a drag about the spare skin!:P I hope it goes away. Still, it is a sign that you have lost a lot of weight. It is an NSV, I guess, though not a really neat one.:)

I don't know about that... I'd think 15+ years of overweightness should equal the damage of pregnancy, no? I've got some major stretch marks, which are looking lovely-er and lovely-er everyday (read: wrinkly-er and wrinkly-er).

Maybe the gym will help... maybe the skin will catch up... who knows. It was just a crazy thing to see.... I woke up this morning saying "I'm wearing squishy pants." LOL I really don't think I'm gonna be someone who's going to be running to the plastic surgery the second (or 30lbs before) I make my goal. I'll wait as long as I can, and hope it springs back into place.

I'm thinking of buying some kind of 'scar treatment', to do an experiment. I want to put it on half of my big scar, and photo-document the results. I honestly am not worried about my scars at all. Like I said, my stomach is enough of a mess, a few more marks just add a little bit of interest!

Also, I am in great pain today. Who would have thought that those freakin' lunges actually did something! All this time I saw people doing them, and thought "ha! what a waste of time!". But, I think they're what killed me. I didn't believe I'd actually worked my abs at all last night, but I believe it now. And obliques?! I guess I do have them, cause they're killing me! I'm on a 3-day program now, and I think tomorrow, (day 2) is arms and back. Ugggg... I really hope my arms don't feel tomorrow like my legs feel today. complain, complain!!!

      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. 💜

      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!

        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. 😍

      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. 💜
