Teresa,

I have never learned to crochet from a pattern, my Mom just taught me several ways to do an afgan. If you decide to make some and sell one, I would be really interested.

Okay, okay, I will make whoever wants one a hat. The yarn is about $4-5 and its probably only a few dollars to ship one. I'll go back thru and find the colors everyone wants and start some more. Just think, this will be good for MY weight loss. I found last year when I made about 20 of them for christmas gifts I hardly had any chance to snack. My fingers were just too busy. You all crack me up though!!! LOL. Teresa

Whoooooo Hooooooo Teresa!

I want a black one, the fuzzy kind if they have it, but I'll settle for anything! Decide how much you need and let me know, I will send you the money right away so you aren't out of pocket!

Love you gal!

Really, really your going to make them? Good thing I didn't make it to the store yet. I would love one too. Black would be awesome for me too. Let me know how much you need and I will send it. Maybe when I get yours and I can look at it I will give it a try and make them for the family.

You are a dear,

Kathy

Thanks, Teresa! I was going to look for a crochet pattern for Christmas. This is PERFECT! :Bunny I can't wait to get started.

Also glad you like your 6th grade experience. I loved that age. I am a high school teacher (usually 8th grade, but taking a long leave right now) and it's nice to hear there are enthusiastic new people joining the ranks. :D

P.S. Penni! You look so cute in that hat! :D

I'll reserve a black one too! Maybe you can buy that yarn in bulk (cheaper) if you do all of them in the same color. You and Darcy are so creative!! You w/ your darling hats and she w/ her quilt. Do you really have the time to make hats? I will be so proud of one!

Hi all, its no problem making the hats. I am going to make them all on the large side unless anyone has a particularly small head.

Becky do you have a Master's to teach? I just finished my bachelors and am so sick of school I really wish I could avoid getting my masters right now, but in Oregon it seems most school districts only hire people with a masters.

Anyway hope you all have a good sunday and I'll get started on the hats this evening. Don't worry about paying anything till you get them. Teresa

In California there is a fifth year after the bachelor's to get a credential. It's a very heavy program of classes and observation with at least a half year of student teaching at least one class. I was fortunate to have a master teacher who let me teach two classes for the full year. She let me totally take over the classes, while still training me.

I think the units are close to a master's degree, but we don't get the degree. Our schools have to pay more for teachers with masters, so don't always want them. Do you do any student teaching in Oregon?

I just started my volunteering a few weeks ago. In Oregon it is a 5th year program as well but you do come out of it with a Master's degree. 1/2 of it is classwork "how to teach" type classes and the other 1/2 of the program is student teaching in a classroom. I am just sick of being a poor student and am ready for the working world (aside from my housekeeping and bed and Breakfast work). I am going to get certified for working with handicapped children as well. I have lived next door to an autistic boy most of his life and evidently Oregon has a shortfall for people certified with challenged kids. Thanks for the info. Becky, Teresa

Teresa... you will be saving my ears from frostbite! If I took up another hobby right now my hubby would surely knock me in the head! I can't wait to have my very own adorable hat and I will be happy to pay for the materials... shipping... AND your precious time! Just think... we can all where our hats for a pic at the next bandster bash!

      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. 😍

      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. 💜

      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!
