Alas, that means this post is much like life. But not to fear, better times are ahead for all!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go get my wife drunk.

Penni, did Dr. Billy use flouro on Pam? T

No, Dr. Billy does not use Flouro unless he has complications locating the port or gaining access. He says it is a waste of time and money and should be used for complications only. Unless of course the patient wants him to use Flouro and then he will access the port that way.

I have to admit he is very skilled in his job. Even though mine was tilted initially he found it and accessed it just fine. I will most likely get a fill in Sept when I go back for my next appointment.

Wait a second, did somebody say it's cold outside? Is it really cold in Wisconsin? Too bad we can't shoot some of this heat through the internet. We're cooking our dinner on the pavement here!

Maybe I'll try something new today, like getting some work done.

Yup... chilly as can be! I'm wearing a flannel shirt and Miss Em has a turtleneck on! I think the high today is supposed to reach a balmy 58 degrees. I won't say the "S" word and that white stuff needs to stay away until at least November!

What does snow look like? I've lived in nothing but drawstring shorts and tees since my surgery. Sure has cut down on the laundry load. I know I've lost a "couple of pounds" in pure sweat! I haven't owned a real coat in years.

Well Marie... if you ever need a real coat... long underwear or a snow shovel... you know who to call!

It took a while for this California raised girl to get used to it... WAIT... I still haven't got used to it!

I moved to California to get away from the "S" word. My old bones can't take the cold. BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Snow is awesome! You can ski on it, eat it, melt it, make snow people out of it, throw it, make angels in it, watch it, admire it... There's nothing you can do with dust except scratch it out of your dusty eyes.

Snow, snow, snow!

Once again, I must say Oregon is best... We MIGHT get snow in the valley 2 days a year and even that is unlikely. The mountains are just an hour east and there is plenty of snow there to go visit. I hate being cold too and detest snow except to look at. I also hate heat though and that is what we are experiencing right now. HOT!!! Teresa

I am the Goddess of Sun and Snow and Rain and Mud and Hurricanes and Blizzards... but I can do without earthquakes, tornados and dust. I guess I just like weather.

Snow is cold, slick, makes you fall, gets full of mud, (dogs pee on it), gets you stranded, and makes you wear heavy clothes! Ugh!

People bitch all the time about it . (Just like me)

Now, can you tell I lived with snow for most of my life???? The only time I like snow is when I am inside looking out! lol And just maybe, (and that is a real big maybe) I like it at Christmas.

I will send you any ice/snow we get, and you send me the dust with all the sun! Then you can come over and I will share my pool with you since you will be cold!

      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!
