So, since Lisa is at 1.8cc fill I think I can get a fill of the same amount.

How many times does it have to be said?!?!?!

Fill amounts CAN'T be compared. You may be closed off at 1.8.

tsk tsk tsk

Penni, I know you know better than this... :)

Penni, read post "Lisa is in the funny farm."

I'm not sure I can meet the challenge since I'll need food, drugs, and alcohol to feed my emotional breakdown.

Oh, but now that I have a new (go read the post) I need my Total Gym pronto... maybe in 2 weeks we'll meet cuz I need buff arms if I'm gonna be a "HC" (again, read post.)

Penni, Penni, Penni... what's a woman to do. I'm feeling physically sick today. Thanks, Chris. And he keeps topping it off by calling and bragging to all his friends about his new bike. I answer all the calls around here, so I'm starting by telling them our mortgage isn't paid yet.

Oh, and he used my band surgery as a "fair is fair" excuse. I can have my band paid off by the end of the year with my Christmas bonus. He can have his Harley paid off next Century. Why does he have to add stupid to stupid?

As Forrest Gump would say, "Stupid is as stupid does!"

That says it all. I feel for you darlin. I wish I could fix it for you. I expected that he would use that as an excuse. Most men do when they feel like they aren't getting enough attention.

Well, I just stopped yelling at him. The one good thing about being on the back of the bike while he's driving is cause I can scream in his ear the entire time.... it's not like he can stop and get out of the car, right?

So I stopped yelling at him because I have to train him on the computer and about all our bills, since he has the new job of Finance Master. Then, I'm starting my bike riding lessons. La Madam probably doesn't know about MY new Harley yet since she left California at 6:00 this morning headed for Vegas. Maybe I'll go pick her up and take her for a spin on MY new Harley (are you guys dying laughing yet?)

Ya know what's so funny? Five years ago while visiting inlaws in Ohio, Chris took me to the World's Largest Shoe store so I could buy some boots. Well, they didn't have any... except their "Harley Davidson Collection." Like what am I gonna do with Harley boots? But Chris said they looked really cute on me, so I've had them 5 years and have worn them 5 times. Now my old jeans fit too, plus I made skull rags and welding caps. And I made a Harley purse a long time ago that I didn't sell because I didn't want to mess with any copyright or patent laws. So, I went from regular chic to biker chick overnight.

I had to get on the back of the bike so we could pick up our truck that he left at the dealer, and I fit right in with the rest of the chicks there. Except I don't have any tatoos. But I do have the big beer gut, so we're even. And if I DARE get a tattoo, kill me, because I'm a girly girl and I don't like them on chicks. Actually got a really bad one when I was 18 and had it surgically removed.

Okay, back to the issue at hand, which is our competition.

Game NOT off. The rules are, THERE ARE NO RULES.

Penni, go ahead and fill-em-up. Get 2 fills, heck, get 4. It's just a game, so I'm not letting it interfere with anything I've done so far or anything I need to do to stay healthy and band-happy.

So the deal is, whoever loses more weight wins the coupons, regardless of anything else. You do what you gotta do, I'll do what I gotta do.

(Donali, will you help me hold Penni down to shove rolls of quarters up her butt before weigh-in?)

Peace and love.... peace and love.

Do I get to keep the quarters.

I am so ready to win this challenge. NO RULES!!! Sounds like a winner to me. All's fair.

Penni, I even have my money on you! I'm weak, I'm emotional, I've been fatter longer, and my mother is crazier than yours. But I will not back down!

      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 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!
