The Doc was about 60 ish, and has a good personality. That's all I can say about that.

 

I am feeling more restriction and am happy about it. Thanks for asking. I'm hoping to post a loss next week. It's been a long time since I've lost weight but I think this is the one.

Hi I'm back and I missed you all. A wild ice and wind storm passed by and we had no power, cable, phone or internet for the last 3 days. It looked like a disaster area around here. There were trees uprooted all over the place. Our basement flooded and ruined our rec. room and spare bedroom. It was a time to get reacquainted with your spouse and neighbors by candlelight. We also did not have any heat. It was reminiscent of the ice storm of '98 except then we had no power for 7 days!!! Sure glad it's over and now it's the cleanup!! So I hope everyone is well. I have to do some catching up so I'm off to read all your postings.

Wowee Wheezy... that really sucks! How did you keep warm with no heat?

(just waiting for someone to make a crack about me probably not knowing that there used to be no TV's, or something like that :))

Well the cleanup crew was here and removed all the flooring in our basement and cut about 2 feet of gyprock from the floor up. They disinfected and now we have 5 mega fans running to dry the place up. All of the furniture is in the middle of each room. I was pretty good about the whole thing until I discovered that some of the Christmas gifts I had bought were ruined. In particular the 2 Tickle Me Elmos. When I saw that I cried. I guess that was the straw that broke the camels back. The Elmos are very hard to find and I really lucked out to find them and now they are ruined.

Mandi we kept warm with layers of clothing, lost of blankets and lots of body heat....was kinda fun......sometimes. Saturday night it went down to -6, not so fun then.

It's funny you should mention about not having television. Friday night a few of the neighbors ended up at our place and since there was nothing else to do, we had several alcoholic beverages. We stayed up until 3 am and they were talking about sitting around the radio to listen to shows in the evenings when they were young. We reminisced about the ice storm and talked about how it brought families together.

that really sucks about the Elmo's... are they those crazy TMX Elmos?! I've heard about 'em. Maybe your insurance would give you enough to go find some on ebay!?

I see...body heat, eh?

You need a fireplace! :hug:

Yeah, that's the Elmo's. I hear that on ebay they are selling for crazy amounts. I'll just have to probably buy something else. They are so cute though. The day I brought them home I opened up one of the boxes and my husband and I played with it for about half an hour. Our cat really didn't know what to make of it.

      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.
