Hi Avilla..... glad to hear from you:biggrin1: Regarding the m/e you have to do what is best for you. I am staying away from red meat which they say causes colon cancer. Have you lost anymore weight yet Avilla? Chix, fish & lamb is OK for right now, from the latest FDA reports, but that is subject to change:heh: This is day 4 for me on the m/e this week and I've lost 3lbs so far.

DENISE.....I got sick last nite with the induc flu, I threw up about 3 times:cry , but I'm feeling great now. That was truly amazing that you sat thru a homemade pizza dinner:faint: :) :hungry: I'm still not hungry this morning even tho I really didn't eat anything yesterday. I think you would've been OK just eating the topping off the pizza, but regardless you did very good.

Avilla--look at that ticker! :) I hadn't noticed that until now! Way to go!!:cheer2:

I forgot to post yesterday's menu. Here it is:

B-Hard boiled egg

L-Grilled chicken breast

D-Nothing; wasn't hungry.

Sounds familiar, huh? :guess

Tonight is family night at church which is a carry-in meal. That will certainly be a test. Often times there isn't just a meat like I would be eating so I sure hope there is. If not, maybe I will be blessed and not be hungry!

Thank you for noticing my ticker..hehe...It just inches up when it feels like it then it takes a break for a while...I am almost to 70 lbs, I am so excited....That will put me at 5.5 lbs so far for this month...I will take it as it comes...I am going in Friday for a fill and it will help me a little bit more...

Tann, I dont want you to take that as being anything negative from me about the m/e diet, I just wanted to report what she was saying...I am still all for it and am planning on starting on it on Monday with yall, but probably just a few changes...It sounds wonderful as long as that weight keeps coming off...I figure I can just take plenty of stuff to keep me regular while I am on it and I will be fine

Oh no, Avilla I didn't take it as being negative. My doctor gets lip from his patients too, about the Protein diet. He is now starting letting us have some veggies with the meat (I was doing that anyways:kiss ) I feel like each of us are different and we have to work the diet which is best for us.

Thanks to all...I am working on it...I am still at 69.5 this morning but tomorrow morning I go in for a fill and I will get over that little hump...I was just thinking this morning about how funny it is that we can lose so much and look at it as being so little...Like when I was at 25 lbs I admired and wanted to be at 50 cuz 25 just wasnt that much...Then I get to 50 and i want to be at 75 cuz 50 just isnt that much...Its like the more that I lose the further from reality I get from actually seeing what I have really lost...Like yesterday someone asked me how much weight I have lost and I would reply "JUST 69.5 lbs"...Now this time last year I would have been exstatic to yell that number from the roof top for all to hear but now that I am there it just seems like another number to me...Does anyone understand what I am going thru??

:mmph:ABSOLUTELY!!! I battle the same thing Avilla.:pout: I tend to look at how much more I have to lose then what I have done and I get that attitude. I always think if I would have done this or that my number would be bigger.:frusty: We are our own worst enemies! Don't kid yourself, 69.5 is amazing! Just think where you were a year ago. That helps put it into prospective for me.

My menu for yesterday is:

B-Hard boiled egg (WOOHOO!! The excitement!)

L-Meatloaf

D-Little sloopy joe meat w/o the bun, a couple small weiners and a deviled egg.;)

My eating yesterday wasn't the best and my scale reflected so. :fear: I was only down .4. There I go again, only down. It's better then up. I am hoping for those last 2 lbs. to sneak off today. If they don't, I will do m/e tomorrow as well and fight them to leave!:boxing::D

Good morning! I wanted to make a quick post before I leave to go spend the day with my mom. :lol:

Yesterday's menu:

B - Hard boiled egg

L - Grilled chicken Breast (There's a horrible pattern going when it comes to my menu. No wonder I get bored. :nervous )

      Hey everyone!

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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. 💜
