Donali, "s**t" is reserved for small projects like wallpapering. You've got to pull out the big guns like the Mo-Fos and the C-S'rs!

LMAOROFL.. oh lordy.

I'm having the same issues Lisa. I usually click 'view new posts'. If I do it once, fine. If i go back and try again, it doesn't always show me ALL the posts I have not read yet. :mad: I'm finding it very frustrating.

OK so as to not miss any posts when you log on scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a link in teeny tiny print that says "Get new Posts" that will give you all the newest posts over a period of at least 5 days. I have done that before.

The framing is "done" (I still need to do some reinforcement, but that can come later), the front door is hung (lockset doesn't quite match up yet - will have to do some tweaking on that), and the siding was started!!! Whhoo hooooo!!! It's starting to look "real". :mad:

Mom and I are so proud - we took lots of "TA DA!" pics... lol

Bad hair day for me, bad clothes day (I'm doing construction, for gosh sakes!), but putting the pics up anyway:

Like one of those Dove commericals - which one is mom, which one is Don. You're hair is so long & fluffy! I'm still tripping on your abilities. I could write an hour over a 3 foot section of my kitchen that needs drywall.

Speaking of construction, my friend, Babs, showed up this morning in overalls to help me finish projects that have me all stressed out. Hubby won't finish projects till he's done building a trailer for the motorcycle, so we've been fighting cuz toys are more important than tiles and drywall. So even though Babs & I had some friendship problems, she pulled thru when I need her most. She's got all the shutters off the windows in my room and has the garage prepped for paint. That's a true friend, eh?

Wow Donali

I've been watching your progress for the last week checking pics. Must say you've done some excellent work. Can't wait to see it all trimmed out. You should be so proud of yourself.

Here's the carpenters joke

Little Johnny was always getting in trouble, One day his mom said "I want you to go across the street and watch the carpenters, maybe you'll learn something" So Johnny went then came home, his mom asked "what did you learn?" "That the god damn door dosen't fit so you take the mother f**er down, shave it a cunts hair and put the c* s* back up" "Johnny go to your room and wait till your father comes home!" Dad comes home and asked Johnny "I heard you learned something today" "Yes, that the god damn door dosen't fit so you take the mother f**er down, shave it a cunts hair and put the c* s* back up" "Johnny you go get a switch" dad says. "Hell no thats an electricians job"

      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. 💜

      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. 😍

      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. 💜
