I have a 2 1/2 year old Cairn Terrier / Poodle mix. Mom is 1/2 Cairn and !/2 Poodle, Dad is Poodle. She's got the brains of a Poodle, and the personality of a Terrier. She's not spoiled, I'm just well trained. She's my "baby girl", I post pictures constantly on Facebook, and once I figure out how to do that on here, I'll probably do the same thing. Besides getting ready for my surgery.... she's my #1 obsession. She loves the beach, loves to swim and play fetch. She's got the energy of the energizer bunny, and will play non stop. Her name is Kaity.

This is Deuxdad the night after we rescued her from our back yard on July 4th. I'm guessing she was approx. 4 weeks old.

I love my pups! First you have Ares: he is a full bred pitbull. I picked him out at 24 hours old and he is now 8. He is spoiled rotten. The pictures I'm posting are his norm. Sitting in a chair, because his precious bottom doesn't sit on anything other than soft and fluff. Pimped out for a car ride, curled up in a blanket, cuddling with me, checking out my friends baby and a picture with his favorite boy, my son. Than my favorite girl Maggie: she is a pug rat terrier mix and rotten.

My fur children are my entertainment and cause me grey hair. BoDidley is my lap and nap buddy. He's a 10 yr old Maine Coon. Duke and DeDe are1 year old Ragdolls- and are into everything. They really like my new diet and they are true meat eaters. They will sit and stare at me waiting to finish hoping for left overs - which they usually get.

This is my 1.5 year old lab, Gracie. That's my chair she's in, that's my g2 she wants. And if you think I spoil her, you should see my husband. We all love that dog beyond logic or reason.

Here are my fur babies! All rescues....Remington or "Remi" for short is a border collie/springer mix, a certified canine good citizen and such a sweet smart cookie! My three kitties are Artemis (with the 'stash), Xander (grey) and Tigger (orange). Tigger is my hunter (the youngest) and Xander and Artie are my cuddlers! I highly urge folks to look at rescues as a great option and add another furball to your family. If you've loved and lost, the best thing you can do is rescue another pet- it's what your previous pet would want..to give his/her happy home and love to another deserving pet! Trust me, your heart opens and fills again, but you always remember your previous pets too.

Awwww. They are all adorable but Remi looks like an absolute sweetheart and the kitty with the pornstache cracks me up! I love cats but both my kids are allergic so I envy you.

I love this thread OP! Thanks for starting it!

I think of that saying "be the person your dog thinks you are"....I have two bad-dog boxers who turn themselves almost inside out when I come in the door....even if I have only been gone for 15 minutes! That helps make up for the current flea problem! thanks everyone for sharing your photos and stories. Pets are the best!

I have a bit of a full house. My cat, Kermit who is 15 years old. My two rescued dogs who think they own the house, but they kind of do. My pony who is pushing 30 but still is wonderful with kids. And finally my big guy, Moe, who is a high maintained diva of a horse. Lol

      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. 💗

      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.
