Oh guys, you make me blush! :blush:

I am thoroughly touched that you think the inner rantings/musings of my mind are worthy of your attention and subsequently bring you a form of entertainment. I just think I'm an overly verbose bombastic mad person. :blink:

I am, sincerely, humbled.

Tell you what. If things get a bit dull, one or all of you, nominate a global issue - could be entertainment, could be WLS, could be politics - could be anything. Give me a subject and I shall produce my own bilious vomitorium. Just for you.

I think, taking the lead from @ Mrs.RRN 's suggestion, it should be placed between the Rants and Raves section and the subject of 'Constipation' in the Post Operative Gastric Sleeve Forum. :blink:

I think us newbies should stick to our post op questions and sleeve discussions and the more advanced members should maybe stay with the posts of the people that have been here a long time and have already gotten close to their goal weight....... Us newbies (if you all can remember) have a million questions about what we are going through at each stage of the game and it's helpful to find someone you can relate to. We don't come here to have interesting reading. Get a good book if that is what you want. Us newbies are crying for support...... being Pedant is not helping anyone....

@Iambeautiful

Dude! Darling! I'm not belittling people who need information.

Please carefully read the caveat I wrote at the start of this thread.

Before i cry. And tear my hair out. And flagellate myself. And eat chocolate (which makes me sick, incidentally)

And as you posted your follow up, before I could post this... There is no need to be like that. Sincerely. Go back to the start, absorb the tempo and timbre of the thread (and find the correlation with how everyone on this thread responds to newbies) and you'll understand that you're so far off base, you might as well be in Mogadishu.

Don't bring this here. Its not welcome and its not warranted.

My rant today, I'm a newbie well not actually true as I'm sat in the airport waiting to be a newbie and I love these threads. I've read everything twice but who doesn't love a rant.

Remember another day and another hour you could feel the love, it was just on this particular day the thread bearer had a Protein meltdown and rather than make sour lemonade she made a... well not actually sure what this would be called but I like it lol.

Secondly parisshel I could batter u, fancy telling me that Ryan gosling has big ears, I'm too scared to look at the thumbnail president rev sent me. Though does the saying about big feet equate to big ears in which case I would hug u as you've given me a new happy thought as they put me under, well I know what my kids look.

The ABSOLUTE best of luck, darling. Hope your surgery is without incident and your recovery pain free.

We'll all be waiting for you on the losers bench.

Her name is Anastasia and I have had her since she was about a week old. She was not being fed and in a crowded 20 gallon tank with about 20 other iguanas. She had a Calcium deficiency that caused her to be paralyzed for the first seven months of her life I syringe fed her Gerber baby food. She is 3 years old now and a spoiled ass lizard. She once was a nice little iglet but now has become a Diva. If she doesn't like something, she throws her food all over her cage. She has been a costly investment but never the less she is my baby with igatude and all.

LOL well I have handled her every day for three years. She is tame and is good most of the time until she has to go to the vets. Then the wild child in her comes out.

      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. 💜

      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!
