I am assuming your boy is fine. What happened?

JC

That GF is a mess. WTF? I'm so glad I'm not single. Yeah, same gender same problems. Nothing like a psycho to make you sit back and go, celibacy has some good points.

B

I need to know that technology has more returns than it costs. I'm not a big fan of being a guinea pig. But thanks to folks like yourself, the tech companies figure it out then I hop in the mix.

HP

What D said. Sort this out so you and your man are good. Don't let hurt feelings get in the way. As for your daughter not wanting to come, I'm sorry it kind of hinges on her now. I get the message loud and clear she's not down for the whole experience. I don't know of any alternatives, but I'll work on it and see if I can come up with a different solution. Maybe BG can think of someone else? BG do you have a niece or cousin in the babysitter age range who'd be game?

B

Sometimes I don't get sarcasm...which is odd because I'm as sarcastic as they come. It's the medium.

J, there are some many psycho stories I could tell you from just this one person! I agree with you on the single issue I sure never wanted to be back in this position again. If celibacy is the answer, maybe I should check into becoming a monk. HA !

You're single for a reason. Your soulmate is out there going through something too, so she can be ready for you when you actually meet.

Okay everyone......I am back....

We started out this morning around 10 or 1030 actually forgot to look at the clock....I wanted to ride out of the valley here and down an area that I had drove..thinking it would be a cool ride....and it was(kinda) We got about 4 miles into it and had stopped to get a drink and let me whine some. I just spilled the Beans so to speak.

I told him, that I was not actually "mad" at him....more of it being a "me" problem...etc.....I told him that everyone on here had given me advice, which is what kept me from being a total B last night which is why I chose to not discuss it.

He told me he thinks I am worried about riding with people because will judge me for walking a hill, or that I am not as fit as others are yet....HMMM...ya!!!!!

So, anyway...we took about 10 min or so, I said what I needed to say, as did he...and went on our way.

So....story over...

We went down to the hwy, and stopped to get fresh water...I defiantly need insulated bottles, and another rack....

Than Stupid me, asked him if he wanted to try riding to the Damm...which is where we normally ride....so.....I huffed and puffed up some Major F hills......(yes I walked some...ok...lots) but than we ended up at the damm, and I rode the hills to there that I normally walked...go figure....we took a good long rest and worked on my bike, it is making a loud noise in the back...

Than took off back. This was the hardest part for me, and I think it was becuase we rested too long...

But....we ended up getting 26.75 miles in and was gone over 4 hours..LOL

Everyone with kids..She will still come if everyone brings there little ones....I just wanted to make sure there were no alternatives...becuase as J she doesnt like to camp all that much...LOL

Jc...your ex is a phsyco huh??? Too bad, you deserve someone very special...

D.........NO NO AND NO....I AM NOT MAD AT YOU.........YOU GUYS GOT ME THROUGH A TUFF WEEKEND....AND I APPREICATE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU AND YOUR OPINIONS......THEY ARE WHAT GAVE ME STRENGTH TO WALK UP THOSE DAMN HILLS.

WE CHANGED ELEVATIONS BY OVER 300 FEET OR BETTER JUST GETTING UP TO THE HILL TO GET STARTED.....SUCKED...BAD.....

BUT I AM BACK AND SHOWERED AND HUNGRY!!!!!!

      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!

        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. 💜
