I like quenck, too! I'm not even that thirsty - just dry - my eyes squeak when I blink. I'm going to go ahead and get an IV this evening - there's just no way to make up a 2-day deficit when all I can do is take baby sips...

And yes, I should have come to y'all for support, but instead I've just been bitching to the computer and the wife...

You should do the IV I'm saying before and after the IV swishing that pedialyte around in your mouth will give some relief

I leave for 3 hours and I get more of JC's farts...it figures.

I'll start reserving things when or if we get a sitter. HP said she'd ask her daughter tonight so we should know by tomorrow. Woot!

I'm seriously stoked by the idea of the ride. That weekend falls between two classes so I'll have just finished a final and not yet started on the new stuff.

I love that you are a Googling Maniac!

SUBJECT CHANGE

I don't talk about my job much because I hate it. Next week the teachers return and the week following the students return. Yuck. We had camps all summer so it wasn't like there was a big lull like what is typical. I am not excited by the new school year.

I manage a staff of 6 and I really love most of them most of the time but there is one who gives me a freaking ulcer. They are union and it's a state agency so just firing her ass isn't a choice so now I have to put a disiplinary grid into effect and watch her like a hawk.

We work in a kitchen (not rocket science0 and there are more people than there is work to do, but she still manages to fuck around too much and doesn't do what she needs to do. There are language issues, deaf/hearing, cultural issues, she went to the school so she feel intitled...I'm just feeling pissy and realized that's the root cause.

Bitch ass bitches...OH and it's a kitchen so yeah, it's like an alcholic working in a bar. I used to be a professional baker and cook...so I can make some rocking food, and do use my powers for good, I make healthy stuff often, but yesterday I made sweet potato cake with cream cheese icing. It was awesome and I ate too much of it...

WTF.

If you make to vegas I'd....I'd just burst or something! That would be so freaking awesome!

We are biking on Saturday. They pick you up from the strip, give you a bike, helmet and a guide (i think) and bring you back!

Who thought when I got this band it would involve meeting traveling and meeting people?

I am so jealous of you vegas people.

J sorry about the job sucking. I feel your pain. I work with a bunch of lazy bitchy 50 somethings who feel entitlement because they have worked longer than me. Too bad I can run circles around them and have learned more in a year and a half than they have in 20.

The only saving grace is the work i get to do in the bariatric center. I heart my nurse coordinator.

Hey J, nice weight loss. I meant to tell you that earlier.

I am sorry you guys have sucky ass jobs. How long do you have of school left, J??? Then what??

Yeah....I am soooo super duper excited that this could be a possiblity. I am not sure about being about to go to the super cool show on Saturday night, but are you inviting people to go with you on your bike riding or just you and the gf going. I would be bringing my DD she is 13 along, this would have to be our Christmas present to ourselves. We have to talk to here about it and see if she is up for that or not. Have you reserved anything as of yet?????

      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. 💜

      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.
