Yeah my cat's never really be interested in cat toys either..but then, she has the dog to wrestle with :-) She loves savoury biscuits & doritos and will sit for hours trying to steal them off me! (probably a good thing)

Ok now it is my turn. Here are my little buddies.

Shilo is a 7 1/2 year old Jack Russell Terrior and the best walking buddy I have. She is always ready to go and never too tired or busy. Eager to please and happy to just be near . She is also one of the smartest dogs I have lived with... Used to be quite the escape artist...lol there is a story there. Oh and yes she wraps herself in her blanket, always has. She loves to nest in it it's like her very own little cocoon.

Tiz is about 6 1/2 and came from a farm near where I live. She has never truly left the farm. Still is quite a handful, always walking on the wild side. lol but she is Shilo's best friend. They are almost impossible to separate. (ask me about the pound episode sometime) Where one goes the other is never too far behind. Tiz is short for Tizzy Fit which fits her to a T. She is more dog I think than cat. I love them both.

I had to put my beloved pet down yesterday.My one dog shadow was 13 years old and started having accidents in the house. It was the hardest decision to make. I miss him dearly. I am getting him cremated and burying him in the yard

I am so sorry to hear your sad news. No one can possibly understand who hasn't been through it. It is truly the loss of a beloved family member. Our thoughts are with you.

Hello Loriely:

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your pet. They are wonderful companions, trusted friends and much loved family members. You are doing the right thing by burying him in the yard. I know it will be hard but let me tell you knowing he's still at 'home' makes all the difference. I have my pet beagle Luna buried in my backyard (it's one year today that we lost her) but visiting her little spot in the backyard is really quite comforting. I'll be thinking of you.:)

*BIG HUG* It is very hard, my childhood kitty died last fall at the age of 15 (which btw, is incredible for a mainly outdoor cat in the country). It makes your heart tear. I'm sending you much luv and hugs.

I have 3 dogs, Fritzi, LuLu, and Coconut. I also have 5 cats, Teeny, Sneek (a whoping siamese mix 20 pounder),Dandylion, Fred (poor thing he is the only boy in a house fulla girls), Honkers, oh wait make that 6 cats I forgot about the stray that showed up in our neighborhood about 2 weeks ago, her name is Scrowdy. My house is like a mini humane society. All of ours are strays. Honkers we saved from being put to sleep. Teeny my husband found while on a call (he is a police officer) she was trapped in a root celler and about to die. I also raised a baby squirel. My neighbors were having their roof redone and one of the workers found a tiny baby squirel in the gutter. His eyes weren't even open. We named him Scooter. He was wonderful. I was a police dispatcher at the time and took him to work in a purse so I could feed him every 2 hours. Noone ever knew I had him. We bought him a ferret cage to live in in the house. It was like a cat television. The cats would just sit and watch him play. We wanted to keep him but knew he was wild so I raised him to be a healthy boy and my Hubby built a nice house and we reintroduced him to outside. We would be walking down our walkway and he would just jump on our shoulders or head and love us up. Sadly he got a girlfriend and she put him in line and let him know that humans were a no no. He never came to us again, but we do leave seeds out so our property is full of squirels and chipmunks. Scooter was wonderful and I think that it was Gods way of testing us to see if we were ready to be parents. Just after we let him go I found out I was pregnant. I don't know what I would do with out my 4legged babies. They make life so much better!!!

      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. 💜
