A port is a harbor town or city where ships may take on or discharge cargo. A fill is a quantity that satisfies or satiates. A PB is a psycho bitch. The blood coming out of your ear is.. blood. Please do call the doctor. No, there is no problem with having a fever of 107.5, you'll be dead soon so um, forget calling the doctor. You should bypass the band and go directly to Stone Cold Creamery. A lapband is similar to a lapdog, only its on the inside. I think you can rest assured that even if your insurance covers the band, they will deny you just for the hell of it. A port is a harbor town or city where ships may take on or discharge cargo.

Ok, I am a DD, I had a mamogram 2 years ago for what I thought was a lump.. it was just fat.

But any way. It didnt hurt. Granted it wasnt comfortable. I kept waiting for that car on my boob feeling and it never happened.

GET YOUR MAMOGRAMS PEOPLE!!!!!

The first person to invent the comfy mamogram will be a billionairre.

I have to say, I want to hear zero complaints. Yes, women have pap smears, yes they have mamograms. Yes, they do have childbirth.

I'm trotting towards a time when I'll have to go for regular PROSTATE checks.

I know, I know. Your right. I have the paper from my doc in my purse to get one.

On another note, would you believe I've never been to Vegas? Have YOU been to Vegas? Don't get me wrong, I would love to go. Just have had the opportunity. Maybe I'll go for the Vegas bash thingy.

Everyone should go to Vegas at least once. It's a wonderfully exciting place with so much to do and see. Be prepared for the heat if you go in the summer though. Man it gets hot there!

Something that will always stick in my mind about Vegas is the rooftops of all the houses are the same. Well, they look the same to me. All that red clay tile stuff. And the streets were all lined with cinderblock walls that had that same pinkish stucco look as the houses did. To me, the only color was in the night lights. The last time we went there, we had a blast watching the mini shows they put on out in front of the big hotels. Amazing stuff. We were there with 11 other families on a mission trip with YWAM (Youth With a Mission) so we didnt really enjoy any of the gambling and drinking. hehe We stayed in a church, all of us slept on the floor of the church by night, worked in the community by day, put on presentations at night. It was only one stop on the month long trip. Very dear memories.

You should go if you get the chance. :)

Everyone should also ALWAYS get a yearly mammogram - the 'base' mammogram is VERY important (by age 40 if not sooner depending on your family history) -- go every year - they won't kill you - yes I have heard some people bruise - but I don't - us well-endowed ladies usually have the least amount of issues -- go ladies - it's that or you might find out too late - who wants to die from cancer when there is a way to catch it early?

did the thought of the big "C" kill the thread?

Maybe I'm not really psycho. Maybe everyone else is. Hmmm. :) Here's my before pic. OK, I'll let you be the judge.

I am definitely getting my mammogram by the end of Sept. I am making a commitment. We do have breast cancer on both sides of my family. It is a very scary thing. Gosh, I hope I don't bruise. I guess it can't be worse than a baby biting your nipple. :omg:

      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!

        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. 💜

      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!
