Yeah, and their broccoli cheese Soup is awesome!!!! I get that all the time. My daughter works at Chili's and she said get a kid's cajun chicken Pasta (w/o chicken if you want), it has alfredo sauce instead of marina. She says you have to pay extra if you want the chicken. They also have a Guiltless Menu!!! I love to go there and go there often! Have fun!

Sounds like for the most part everyone is doing good. It's taking foreve to turn pages still on this computer.

Someone had mentioned a disc clean up. Whay is this, and how do you do it. I've tried 2 of the 4 thinkgs they listed to spped up your computer. I've disabled 3rd party add ons and I updated all my windows softwae yesterday. My computer took so long it was literally out of comission all day. It also said to install latest security updates but I have security, and to download a fix from Yahoo toolbar, but don't know how to do this.

Hope to have this darn thing fixed in the next few hours. I feel like a need a computer whiz to come ove and do this, as I'm unsure and would hate to screw up what I have.

Going to try some more things right now, so I may not be on for a while.

Hope everyoe will be checking in rom Wednesdays surgeries, and everyones doing well for todays surgeries.

I so miss you guys. I'm tryin to get back as quickly as I can.

Hope this posts!!

Lynette

go to tools - clean disk and then try defrag your system (it's there too in the tools section)

OK, so I'e done eveything I could think of but one- the system recovery. I squirmed at the idea becuase I wasn't sure what I would lose, but it worked. It's sooo fast now, I'm so happy. And all my favorites were kept, still need to go to my doc and pics to see if those are missing, but I figured I could to without them, pics I'd be upset about, but I had to do something.

Let's see how long it takes to post this!

Lynette, that's a good thing!! Glad that worked for you. If it helps any, I've had to mail my laptop in 3 times in the last 3 months. They keep screwing other things up when they have it to service. :)

I've been the bigest bi**h the last few days because I couldn't get this figured out, and I'm one that doen't ask for hep, I'll figure it out with some help from you guys here but with no phone calls or anything, but I think now I could of had this taken care of 3 days ago if I would of just run the recovery. I was so afraid of losing everything that I bit my tongue and tried everything else. It took me 7 hours to complete the disc defragementing yesterday. 7 hours!!!! It was awful.

I deleted cookkies, cleaned up discs, everything. Now, it's back to a good speed.

Chim and Kathy so glad your back safe and sound.

Kathy sounds like you're breezing right through it.

I decided i'm not taking the pain med from my doctor anymore. It makes me have vivid dreams. Last night I dreamed someone was taking my chair, and I woke up grabbing for it and screaming chair.

Hi Denise,

Yeah I'm doing really well. Just woke up from my nap. Have a bit of a achy neck and my belly is a bit tender, but otherwise I feel very good.

Good thing too, since I have to go to work on Monday. At this rate, I should be fine.

      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!

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
