you know and I'm amazed that I've not been flamed.

But I try to stay out of that mess. Makes me think of that prolific poster...

Any you are a loser. A weight loser! Who's the dork?

I want to bycyle so bad I can't stand it! I have been sitting around this house all week and am about to lose my mind. One more week of full liquids doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that I have to take it easy on the exercise until I get a green light from the Doc. I am going to have to postpone the Everglades trip AGAIN!!!

I will do these things in order to recover properly. I was just sitting here scratching off the week I had reserved for kayaking and needed to vent.

BTW Congrats on the job interview BG I hope it goes well for you.

Thanks JC, I hope so too.

Ultimately the worst that is going to happen is that I don't get it. If i don't I still have a job so I can't complain too much.

Yup. My mom used to tell me that the worst thing anyone could ever say to me was "No." :redface: I hate being told 'no' though. :) Good luck!

I posted pics of myself there, one from last april, and then one from dec. Yes yes, I am hot!

Yes, you ARE hot! What a difference in your face, girlfriend! But you were beautiful "before", too.

Thank you miss Stef. :) I absolutely HATE that 'before' pic!! It was taken last April before one of my lil brothers moved to Georgia. My mom wanted a 'family' pic of all of us siblings with spouses and grandkids... Ugh. I look like a beached whale. Seeing this pic is part of what prompted me to schedule a consultation for the band. Lol.

ZZ,

I feel you about hating the before pictures. But they do show ones progress and yours has been fantastic.

I have a way before shot of me and my two sisters...They are dressed in white and me in red between them...I simply look giant. Yeah, I need to dredge that one up to keep me motivated.

Okay, my bycyling friends, I'm commiting to breaking this life sucking plateau I've been on. I'm going to be running intervals on my running days, adding cardio to my strength days, dropping my calories to 1000 daily, drinking 1/2 gallon of Water a day and taking my Vitamins like a good girl. I'm also no longer eating work food. Just food from home.

Wish me luck. My goal is to keep my head down and work of some of this weight for the next two months. I'll come up for air in March.

XO

Thanks for the comments on my pics. Having a 'fat' day today, so ya'll make a girl feel good.

I hear ya on the no-work-food thing J! Had a slice of Sausage pizza (thick crust!) and then a slice of veggie pizza (thin crust). Ugh. Oh yeah, 3 'buffalo' wings as well. My body fully rejected it this morning. Thank heaven. I need to go back to the Vegan diet I'd successfully done for like 2 weeks. Haha. My scale hasn't moved in like a week... maybe more. I'm mad. I need to see a change!! So sick of seeing 294... though I must admit it is better than seeing 382 like it was before surgery!!

Wow... sorry to bring the room down../.

J - My time is taken up quite a bit during the day with my son and homeschool now. I peek in when I can, but don't have time to post near as much. The curriculum he is doing is pretty autonomous, but I need to make sure he knows the drill before I turn him loose. Hopefully I will have more time in a couple weeks...I miss it here! :)

      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. 💜
