So easy to make.

6 yukon gold potatoes diced (i leave my skins on but you are probably supposed to peel them, i am way to lazy for that)

4 leeks sliced (white part only)

3 vegetable bullion cubes (could use chicken cubes if you are a meat eater)

Put leeks and taters in a pot and cover with Water. Bring to a boil and add vegetable bullion cubes. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Put in food processor or blender and puree. I used my hand mixer because my blender is broke and it turned out fine. I just put some pepper in it and it was yummy. You can use whatever spices you like I am sure.

So my friend's boyfriend gave me a kick ass massage at the bar last night. Well at least it seemed kick ass at the time. I just looked in the mirror and my shoulders and back are covered in bruises from it! So that is why I have been sore all damn day lol.

Apparently you like it rough. Damn!

Good morning everyone. I'm off work for President's Day and finally getting my hair done. There's lots of reading for school and a happy day of hanging with the kiddo. I love being a state worker on days like today!!!

Oh and they say, "It's being employed by the state, not being a state worker. That implies you actually work."

Not funny, well sort of.

Hello everyone!!!

It has been a real long time since I have been on here and actually was able to read and look at all the new pictures.

We have had some odd weather in dear ole' Indiana, and yesterday we were without power for over 11 hours due to high winds and such.

So....I had homework that was due, library's were closed, and so we head off to a nearby town, and found a hotspot for the internet, that was only running at 11, and uploaded my work......took a bit, but I got it done...wooohoooo

J.....awesome, awesome, awesome about the run..........You totally amaze me that you completed that!! I am very proud of you........

BG.......YOU LUSH!!!!!!!! Glad you are still losing and looking so great...keep up the good work...you will get that last 33 lbs off soon....

I had noticed that B, and JC , and SUzzie, and TX has all joined in lately as well. I sure do miss talking to everyone.

I am so ready for spring. My weight keeps going back and forth, my diet is back and forth....some days I eat crap, some days I feel like I am backsliding....

But.......holding my breath, getting ready to breathe and get my butt in gear. I defiantly am going to feel a difference when I get on the bike this year and am weighing so much less than I did when the season ended last fall.

Well, take care

HI everyone, HP glad you are still hanging in there.

J, Way To Go!!! I new you could and would do it!! You are a total inspiration.

BG, I think you must be from Southern Mi. with that recipe involving "taters" lol

I have been up to my eyeballs in work trying to catch-up from such a long absence. I think I am starting to get caught-up finally.

      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. 💜

      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. 😍

      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. 💜
