Terry! I was also wondering about you. I hadn't posted in a while, either, just busy.

I can't believe you got terorist e-mail! Don't let them get you down. Keep in touch!

Congratulations on the new job. Sometimes the comfort of the status quo holds us back like a giant magnet. You overcame it's force and I hope great things happen for you.

Donali, your construction project is looking good! My husband is a general contractor, and over the years I have seen alot of work. Sometimes I think I could do it, but thinking about it and doing it is two different things! Girl, YOU ARE DOING IT!! That's remarkable, and I think you're awesome.

Hi everybody,

I don't get online like I used to ( I can't) but I sure do appreciate everything you all have said. This is the best group I have ever been in. I am still struggling, for some reason, (emotionly) but I think it is just the fact that I have had so many changes lately. They say that major changes can do that to ya! I just love all of you, and from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for listening. You are the ones that "rock".... I feel like I have a real family here , No, I KNOW I do.... I am MUCH better. The job is really hard, but it is also getting better. So there....

My simple little brain can't remember everything each one of you said, But you girls know I love ya, even the ones I don't know...

I am going to get a fill soon, I think that may help as much as anything.... I can eat a boat load now. My appetite is coming back big time......I have have gained up to 210.5 so I am creeping up. I can tell it in my clothes too. I wasn't ready for gaining just yet, I thought I would lose another 50 lbs before that happened. Beware ladies, it can put you in a depression. Especially if you have tendencies to get down anyway. But like I said, I'm on my way back. I can tell.... So once again I want to thank you all for being there. And thanks for letting me "whine" lol.....sometimes you just gotta do it...

Delarla, you look so great now, and you are awesome on that bike.

Let us know how you're doing.

Where are you getting your fill?

I'm gonna have to go for another myself. I notice SOME restriction, but not nearly enough to have me losing. It's like starting all over for me, but I'm still SO much better off than I was a year ago.

We're all still gonna have to set up a dinner or something here in Texas. Maybe you'll need to come up and do some Christmas shopping.. (wink, wink):)

I don't know yet (where i am going to get the fill). I have real lots of posts in the last year and it seems like there is someone in Dallas I need to see. My close friend said that there was a doctor named Nirmal Jayseelan in Dallas area that would see me and swore her was good. Any ideas ladies? Otherwise I will just go back to Dr. Dillawn. My gut feeling tells me I should anyway.... I was reading another post about how we put these doctors up on a pedestal. Heck they work for us....right? So for the sake of convenience, I will probably go back to him... Youre such a good girl Letha. You are always there for everyone.... Thanks!

Hi Terry - Glad you stopped and let us know how you are doing. We all worry when you aren't here. I'm glad to hear the job is doing a little better, it's always so hard to start a new one. I think once you get that fill, you will feel better. Have a great day, and put a pretty smile on your pretty face!

      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. 💜

        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. 💗

        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!
