You guys crack me up!

J, I would be a binge and PB fool if I worked in a f-ing Kitchen. You are tougher than I am no doubt!

BG, This is for a wedding?!? WOW

BTW, BG Hearts Mag Lights. LOL

I have to get some work done around this house. Monday will be here in a flash and I am not ready to go back to that place. I should never take so much time off from work again, because I have no drive or motivation to go back.

Uh, I have a confession

When I play who’s the biggest nerd contests I typically place pretty well with the tidbit that I was once a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. That’s a Renaissance reenactment group. And I have been to Renaissance weddings….I have made corsets…Oh I know it well.

So Wenchy McWench, you have a good time with that. And yeah the right corset can give an 8 year old boy cleavage.

Very interesting stuff J. Where is the best place for me to get something cutish to wear that is not $75,000?

DH does the role play thing. Well did. Now his life revolves around World of Warcraft. And Warhammer. He would definitly place higher than you on the nerd scale.< /p>

Good morning all. Hmmmm I dont even know what to say to this wench costume but to say that you can use it for Halloween for years to come!!! Nice 2 pounds BG!!!! Way to go....I love weight changes...of course when they are going down.....I am hoping to get out on the bike again tonight. I hope I hope I hope it is nice enough. It is suppose to be a crappy weekend so we will see. I guess I will go weigh today. I dont want to, but I will. I hate seeing the same number or a BIGGER number. I am in need of some serious psychiatric help.

I'd ask the bridal party where you might be able to borrow someone's stuff. If that's not doable does anyone in you family sew?

To get a corset worth buying takes months. To make one yourself or have it made takes a little time and know how.

Or you can go to a cheap lingerie shop and see what you can find, put that with a full long skirt and a peasant blouse and you'll close enough to the part. What about DH and the kids? Do you have clothing for all of them?

And woo hoo on the big check. NICE

Yeah I so do not sew.

I believe they all got their stuff at the Renaissance festival when it was in town. Unfortunatly they are all waaay smaller than me too. Maybe I can rent one from a halloween store? I guess it is a good season for a themed wedding.

My ticker is such a lie any more. This little vacation I took added too many pounds. I am going to change it to accurate I don't like feeling like a liar.

We won't call you a liar. I personally never move mine up, only down. Irregardlessly. (I love that dumbass word!)

BG

If you told me you sew I'd be shocked. You just don't seem the type....The halloween costume store is a good idea.

Yeah, I'm working OT today and tomorrow. Sunday however I'm taking a pass on it so I can bike. We have a 32 miler on the schedule. So Woo hoo.

But you scrapbook and I'm sure are crafty in other ways....

Zoe was asking about Korrine. Like when are we going to see her again...Do you have any reason to be heading south in the next months? We'd meet you in Toledo or something. We'd probably get a hotel if you wanted to make a day trip of it and the girls could swim and we could do something kiddie.

Think about it.

      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. 💜

        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. 💗

        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. 💜
