Well I gotta 'fess! I've had a shocking weekend' date=' that has followed a shitty week. Lots of stress eating and crap food at that today! I really have tested my lil sleeve today, and this isn't my 'normal' behaviour. Not good! I don't tend to look for food anymore. I really do need to have a lil word with myself! Need to fast tomo and get back to the gym, cos I just feel lethargic and 'fat'! And I don't like this feeling...[/quote'] I think we all get that way some days. I had to "fess" last wknd and this one isn't quite done yet! Lol.

Hang on there daisy, I know it hurts now, but if you knew he wasn't the right one, it's for the best... When you heal from it which you will. :)

You can truly be open and available to accept the right person for you into your life.

Oh and coops I feel you.. I had a gluttonous weekend at the wedding it's funny how I can sit at a meal with people now and not even worry about looking odd about not eating as much. My consumption is definitely that of a normal person now. No "problems" even ate cupcakes..

Daisy, breakups are the hardest, but its even harder to stay with the wrong one. You did what you needed to. I just want to eat around relationship confront too. It will get better.

I gave myself permission to eat a couple of hundred calories extra today, I have not done it ...yet, but it made me feel better just having permission to do it if I wanted to. Head trips!

I think that is awesome that your mindset has evolved to that place. You have your LIFESTYLE in hand and are working it.

 

That's the way it's supposed to be. We are the NEW NORMAL!

Yeah, I'll get used to the idea that I am going to be alone again. It's just going to take me a little while. I did message a couple of guys on Plenty of Fish. I remember before while I was dating when I met Allen, it was actually kind of fun. I like to dress up and fuss now. It's just hard in the beginning when they want to go out to dinner.< /p>

OD, switch to OKCupid, PoF has a lesser quality of men, in my experience.

A fast day today, again with the greens, the Vitamins, the tea, blechhh. The weather is turning now, I'm able to enjoy hot tea and wearing a pashmina in the mornings and I can actually sleep under my blanket all night now.

OD, sorry about the breakup. I think you are a very strong lady and I think you probably know best what is right for you and what isn't working, and if this wasn't working then I'm glad you decided to move on. Hugs to you!

Okay was there something in the Water here this weekend cuz MY weekend ALSO involved cupcakes. Pffft. On sat. we had a softball team party for the girls team and someone brought seriously the MOST delicious cupcakes. The woman who brought them works for a restaurant and they not only looked good they were so good!

So that was Sat. and then I thought I would FAST on Sun. but yeah notsomuch. Sigh. Anyway, back on the fasting wagon today! I see my surgeon on Wed. for my 3 year visit!

I like eggface's site and used to cook stuff from there... but my overall interest in food is much declined so I tend to avoid "foodies"

I love the protein cocoa that someone - was it laura ven?? recommended. I make protein coffees using Syntrax Nectar but if there is a recipe i should try -point me to it. I just dont like browsing food porn..haha....

LV...It's a strange feeling when you realize you can eat with those around you and it doesn't feel weird anymore. You are normal! It's a new normal for you. You can't compare yourself to everyone else. Enjoy the fact that you can go out and have a meal, even eat a whole cupcake and you don't have to feel guilty about it. That's what normal people do!! Now, the problem comes in if we go back to our old habits and start doing this all the time. Learning to be able to enjoy these things without the guilt or worry is probably where we are all striving to be. We can get there...one day at a time.

OD...sending you another hug your way. Hang in there. Are you going to make it to the gym today? It'll help you feel better, and who knows, you might even meet a hot guy at the gym!

Brown...how are you doing today? Just checking in on you! :)

I had a good weekend. Eating was good, I was happy about that because that was my goal for the weekend. My cold is just about gone and I am feeling normal again. My appetite was low this weekend. I also had some cake but it was cheesecake. We had a birthday party last night and celebrated 3 birthdays in the family from the last few months, mine included. My mom made my favorite cheesecake. It was so good, I had a few bites and enjoyed every bite! I have another piece in the fridge to eat this week sometime, we'll see, the kids may get to it first.:)

Fast day for me today. It's funny how extra delicious my Protein Drink tastes on fast days.

Have a great Monday Ladies!

      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. 💜
