Recommended Posts

Well, I guess you would say ALL things. But there is no pattern to it. So good and bad. I honestly think that everyone has this ability but some tune it in better. I would love to know how to tune mine in better. But it seems if I try, I get worse..So Idon'teven try to do it on my own. I just wait till something hits me, and depending on who it is, I will tell them or not. I don't usually speak about this, it sounds so "Yeah right" like I am a nut. But it is happening more and more and I saw this trhread and well.....I don't know why I told it actually....Does it happen often to you

I believe the same as you about other people having the ablility. It seems to not be happeneing as often lately, but I think that has to do with stress. And sometimes it's just a feeling about a situation, really positive or really negative. Like, for example, going into a job interview and seeing myself working there. The worst things I have ever known before they happened were the deaths of both my mothers in law and hubby's grandmother. Hoping I can get back in touch with that part of myself when we get moved back home. Have you ever done any research on shaprening it or do you prefer not being "open" all the time? If you don't feel comfortable continuing our discussion on board, you can PM me.

Oh I love this... But I have to be careful to not want it to the point that I feel I am creating what is happening instead of letting it be natural. I feel like I am more receptive than ever and I really love it. I wish I could do it for a living.... But, I could never ever fake it, and I am not good at it. I recently have read about different people, (John Edwards) and more and I am facinated with their ability. However, as I stated it just has to come to me. I am going to read more and see if I can figure out how to open myself more and grow in this area. I feel like fakes really hurt the whole subject, and I am so afraid of sounding like a nut or a fake. But when I see something that is profound, I usually tell the person it applies too. It has happened to me all my life, but never as much as now.. I consider it a blessing

One of the most interesting things I ever told anyone, was a lady I knew was beginning an affair, had never actually consumated the "act" but was close to it. I told her to leave her husband before she did something dumb and then her conscience would be clear. I told her I saw her in her bed with another man and that even though she did not go all the way she was thinking about it and not to do it... She couldn't even talk and ask me if I was spying on her.... I just laughed and said no, I just saw it all in my mind and for her to stop. She did. and her and her husband are still together and doing great now- this person calls me on a regular basis and asks me stuff now...lol

I get flashes of dejavu sometimes, or at least I used to. It was like when something would happen, I'd vaguely remember dreaming about it sometime in the past. Most of the time, when I'd dream of it, it would be months or longer before it actually happened.

Have you ever seen John Edwards live? It is really fascinating. I have read some things lately about him being a "fake", but I wonder if those rumors are just being started by ney-sayers and non-believers in an attempt to discredit what they don't understand or that goes against their beliefs. Anyway, he said he has to turn himself off to keep from being bombarded when out in public. I can't imagine being that open, but at the same time think it would be fascinating. Having been born and raised in the heart of the Bible belt, I have kept my intuition secret for years. As the ability to "see" things becomes more mainstream thanks to tv and news, it is much easier to speak freely of it than it has been in the past. It really is a blessing, I don't know how anyone could see it as anything else, but many do.

by the way, congratulations on losing the weight - before banding I would keep a lb of really fatty hamburger in my freezer. Everytime I felt crummy cause I only lost a lb I would get it out of the freezer and look at it. It helped me so much... I no longer have it, but I did it so long, I can still see it in my mind

Dejavu is the weirdest thing because you never know if you are remembering something from this life or a previous one.

No I have never seen him live. It is my goal.... I don't really care what others think. I do listen to all opinions, and I do try to weed through the negatives, but I go with my gut and I say he is absolutely the real deal.... He has helped so many, and the way I see it, as long as what he is doing remains positive, what is he hurting. It appears to me, he is helping instead.

Strickland is my married name. Where is your family from? We live in SC, but hubby is from NC and his dad's family is from the midwest somewhere. He was one of 9 children himself. LOL My maiden name is Clark and my mother was a Pritchard.

I just started that blog thing today. Have seen it in other places and decided to give it a whirl. :confused:

      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. 💜
