OMG, they are so cute!

The glasses are adorable. They both look like their faces are going to split they are smiling so hard!!!

I'll take her picture tonight, but she'll look a sloppy mess.

Maybe again tomorrow morning. I feel I'll be buying a million knee socks. She loved to take my socks when she was little and wear them like thigh highs or my short socks and wear them like knee socks. I knew they'd be a winner. She's a dress wearer, I thought she'd be able to wear the dresses longer if she had the socks...

BTW, I've issued a "MINUS 20" challege at work to my co workers. To see if we could encourage each other to drop 20 between now and the New Year.

That's something isn't it? Perhaps just more talk...

Aww thanks guys. The kids had a great day. Jared was so excited to do his "homework" which consisted of giving me a shit ton of forms to fill out. Korrine was a little peeved that her brother got recess today and she did not (half day) and she was surprised that she had spelling words on the first day of school. I told her to get used to it, she will have more homework this year. But all of her little friends (we call them the Diva trinity) are together again this year. So the day went well. We just got back from the store getting all the lunch supplies together. Yeah I forgot how much I just love to pack lunches.

BG - Your kids are absolutely darling! The photo made me homesick for the days of getting kids ready for school. Buying school clothes, sharpening pencils, packing clean backpacks. Loved it!

No and it was classic, she had her MP-3 player stuck in her ears too.

She crawled under a blanket until I put the camera away.

What a brat, I know.

Taking a page from BG I'm back to hitting the gym, hard. I was dreading the run, the big 10-K and it had me making excuses not to work out. Like I'd rather be fat than run kind of excuses. yeah, I want to be a runner and I'm going to be a runner, but not right now. No time to work through the metal barriers. No energy to pick it apart and examine it.

Therefore, I've been weight training like I've not done in a few months. Yeah, the guns are burning, the quads are hurting, but I don't need the HC bar in the restroom to help get up from the toilet so maybe I'm not doing it right.

Any way the lesson learned is when it gets tough do what you love to keep you motivated. Which means my butt should get on a bicycle soon.

And never, ever give up. Can I get an AMEN?

Amen. I heart lifting weights.

So my son just barfed through my whole house. Down the hallyway to the bathroom, the toilet seat was down so he puked all over the top and back of it, on the floor, the side of the tub, the walls. It was just nasty.

Whos, it is hard to explain without a visual. I was on the freeway service drive which was a one way street. It was dark and i was unfamilliar with the area. I was stopped at a light to turn left and both left lanes were turn lanes. I was in the right one, behind another car that was turning. When the light turned i followed this car only to realize at the last minute that it was turning the wrong way down a 1 way street. When I tried to straighten the car there was another car in the left lane that hit me. It was my fault but the other guy had no damage on his car. He did not want to file a report so I got no ticket. So now I have to get it fixed because I do not want my insurance to go up, but I am too cheap to fix it. So eventually i will get it done lol.

well, I am planing on a good ride tommorow evening, but we are excpecting rain???

I have paired up with a lady that works with my husband and am starting to walk at lunch again. I had to stop because of the issue I had at my workplace last year and I am ready to tackle the streets again even if I have to avoid certain areas.

So, I got a fill yesterday. It is the first in a long time...and it has defiantly made a change in my consumption today....:thumbup:

BG and J...I sure do wish my kids were as excited for school as yours...Rebecca is a freshman and the last of grade school is behind me.

Kind of sad....I remember those happy smiles too...sure dont get them any more

Hope everyone is doing well

      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. 💜
