1. Nothing. Context may dictate things are off limits at times, but I feel that no one subject or subjects is off limits.

2. Thats a hard one. I would like to be healthy, if that is a quality. I would like the ability to stay awake all day and have energy. I would also really love to be able to understand nonverbal things better (like facial expression, spatial relationships, etc). No more disabilities for me... I want too much!

3. I'm not sure. I wouldn't want to trade my life because I love my husband too much.

4. The abuse

5. No.

6. Underdressed. At least someitmes.

7. the memories

8. It depends on the conversation, the people, etc. I do like to talk though...

9. I would rather be deaf.

What, if anything, is too serious to joke about? child abuse

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or one ability, what would it be? The ability to to make everyone in my life happy.

Whom, if anyone, do you envy enough to want to trade lives with them? Nobody at all.

If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what woud it be? Because my parents were divorced when I was very young, I do not know the circumstances revolving around their break up. I do know that my mother hated my father, and spent every chance she could drumming this into my brain. She was a great Mom in all other respects, but I could of done without the Dad bashing. She is gone now, RIP, but Dad is around now, and he is great. I wish I could of enjoyed him when I was growing up.

If there were a public execution on tv, would you watch it? Yes, I tend to be morbid.

Would you rather arrive at a party underdressed or overdressed? Overdressed. Once you are there, you can always down play it, but it is hard to upgrade.

What's more important: actual experiences, or the memories that remain from those experiences? The actual experience makes the memory, so I would have the say the actual experience.

In real conversations, do you tend to talk more or listen more? I think I do them evenly.

If you had to chose one, would you rather be blind or deaf? Deaf. There's always close captioned!

1. What, if anything, is too serious to joke about?

Nothing.

2. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or one ability, what would it be?

How to express myself less offensively.

3. Whom, if anyone, do you envy enough to want to trade lives with them?

The person that I think I could be if I could conquer my faults and live up to my own standards.

4. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Either that my father had not died on the day after I was born or that my mother could have protected me from the step father that beat me.

5. If there were a public execution on TV, would you watch it?

Executions are barbaric. I have not watched the Saddam Hussein execution even though I could have on the net. Saddam Hussein still lives as long as people get pleasure from his death.

6. Would you rather arrive at a party under dressed or overdressed?

Overdressed. I could always take my jacket or tie off to drop down a notch.

7. What's more important: actual experiences, or the memories that remain from those experiences?

That's like asking what is more important, Christmas or Easter? Some people have memories of fictitious experiences. But, if i have to answer, I'll take the memories of real experiences.

8. In real conversations, do you tend to talk more or listen more? If you had to chose one, would you rather be blind or deaf?

Anyone who has read my posts can figure that one out. Talk! But at one time, I was an introvert and only listened. I enjoy listening, but talking and eating seem to be my twin evils and both originate from the same place; the mind.

Deaf or Blind. How about one eye and one ear?

I don't know and I will not answer that. I will wait until I have to be one or the other.

      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. 💜
