jhope - You might 'think' you can drive on meds, but...please for the safety of others, especially that cute little one in your photo, (and yourself) don't! Well, you are in Texas so you have lots of space. I'm here in the congested SF Bay Area and would like to tell everyone please do not drive on our congested highways and roads whilst on meds! (Although I'm certain most are on meds by the way they drive!).

I drove 7 days post-op. You also feel every bump in the road while you are in a car up 2-3 weeks out.

:aureola: I am the last of the baby boomers, from the generation greatest parents to my 5 baby boomer brothers, we learned hard, and we do it right! I can drive on meds! :cheers2:

Yeah - I'm sure that's what the woman who hit and killed my sister and her unborn baby said too.

Just kidding, I love to see the regulars get riled up! Maybe Im the only one who remembers the sixties! Ya, and you need meds to drive in some big cities!HA hA!

Sure do envy you getting to live in the SF Bay area, Glory! That is some beautiful place. The only thing wrong with SF is I dont live there. The only thing wrong with my last trip there was no one was with me. I kept wishing I could say, "Hey look at this..."

My neighbor got drunk and went outside and shot his friend dead a month ago, and another neighbor got under his house to fix a Water leek, and a copperhead bit him several times and he died. A boy the next town over slept with his window open, and a bat came in and bit him, he told his mom he thought he got bit, but they didnt do anything and he died of rabies! My dad was 82 years old, and died while he was driving, and hit another car and killed a real nice man, who was the father of 3 and my age....

Whoa...I think she intended that to be a joke...the smilies and whatnot gives it away.

It is not funny to lose someone like that. My first fiance wrapped herself around a tree when we were 21, 2x over the limit...don't get upset over peoples humor. It isn't intended to be bad.

Girl you know it! If I didnt loose everyone that I ever loved in the last 5 years, let me know, and if I dive into that ditch of grief again, shoot me! Im living in deniel for a reason, it works, and if I am the only one who remembers what the cops did when they pulled a bunch of teens over, well lets just leave it at that. If Im the only one who remembers riding in the car standing up between mom and dad, flying on the interstate, and sliding all over the back seat when they took a turn, into the local ice house...well then Im the only one.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
