Yay Stef is alive!

Whos - you look amazing! Congrats on the run (I assume it was a run? Lol)

J & BG - You two make me laugh. I think we need to separate you! Congrats on the ride, especially since you were hungover with little sleep and it was cold.

C - Glad you're feeling & doing well. Keep taking it easy.

As for ME... it sno/sleet/rained off and on all freaking day here today. It's APRIL in KC! It's supposed to be sunny, with showers to make those May flowers bloom! Damnit! My Iris's need the sunshine and showers! The snow crap will destroy them!! (OK, maybe that was dramatic.)

Goodnight.

Good morning everybody!

I can't get my stomach to shut-up! It just rumbles and roars all the time. My DH said he heard it all night! I do feel hungry, but I'm sticking to the portion sizes my dietician gave me. I feel tight when I sit, so I know there is something there. I am making sure that everything I put in my mouth (except the water) has Protein in it!

I'm a little painful with movement, but am doing just fine. DH and DD walk me regularly!

I am supposed to return to work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for 12 hour shifts, but I just can't see that happening. I think I could do it if it were 8 hours, but not 12. Ugh. We'll see how I feel in 2 days!

Turler,

They always say that the 3 day after surgery you feel the worst....for me it has always been the case. I think the being tired part was allot of me after surgery too.....it will get better.

As far as the tummy.......you are making good choices....making sure you have something with Protein should fill you up some.....To this day, ,my stomach does the grumbling, and I cant eat anymore...LOL It is a TRICK!

It is rainy in Indiana.....:biggrin:

C-

I was off work a full two weeks with my surgery. The first week I felt like I was hit by a truck, the second week I thought I'd be playing...but I really needed it for sleeping and recovering. I'm probably more whimpy than most, but my point is allow yourself to heal as best possible without pushing it, if your schedule allows it.

TX

I heart hills. But I'd die on that ride too. You are such a trooper! There's no shame in getting your ass kicked by a ride. It gives you a base line to work against so you conquer it next time. Rock on Chica!

ZZ, WYD,

WTF with snow/sleet in April. That's just wrong. It's chilly here and raining too. Glad we rode yesterday.

BG

Once I get my homework done I'll put all the pics on photobucket so you can pick them up and do what you want with them. K?

Off to study. XO

Forgive me for not posting pictures. Here's a link though.

Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

What's sad is there's no picture of the "Ohio loves me" Tshirt I got BG, or a picture of the Llamas we saw when I fell off the bike. Or her smoking with the gay boys at the bar.

Good times.

Stacy is fun and somewhat crazy. I heart her very much.

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
