These are tough times. So many of us have been there.

We and our pets deserve all the love we give each other.

And we deserve to love and be loved again.

Hugs.

Dear Minnie,


I keep glancing over the spots your dog beds used to be. I keep expecting to hear your tap dancing toe nails across the kitchen floor to beg for whatever I am eating. I look over my bed in habit to check and see if if you're upstairs or downstairs so you can be let out on the deck. (She used the bathroom on on our deck)


I keep expecting out of habit to save bags in order to pick up your poo's. When I am walking Wally (The bloodhound I'm dog sitting for a family friend) I think on our walks. They became shorter as you aged, but you didn't mind. This past winter are cherished memories of the last walks with you.


I regret not walking you more. But now you are running with God's creatures above and eagerly wait for your family to someday join you.


I thank God you were able to see me 'well' in your last three years of life. I am glad God gave me you. You walked with me through a lot of darkness with the assurance of your cold nose.


You always made me laugh. Be it dragging your rear across the carpet or hiding under a table with your furry butt sticking out when things became emotionally tense. You were the emotional barometer that made all of us laugh and forget why we were upset in the first place.


You touched a lot of lives, but you know that now. You can now see our family that is in heaven. You've gotten to see Mr. Belle, Best a Mor, Ken, Hazel, Howard, Nelson and all the others that are the cloud of witnesses.


You ran the race well Minnie, you finished strong. Well done good and faithful dog, enjoy Glory until we meet again.


-Hannah C.

Thank you all for your lovely support! I mean that, if I could physically hug each and all of you I would.

well because I've allowed myself to cry and I mean cry, the sting of the grief is gone. I've asked the Lord to take that painful ache away and He has. Again, I thank you all for your support, on this side of the screen I now with bittersweet tears can honer her memory and the support I've gotten here has been a major part of that. thank you BP for your unflinching support. It's been a blessing.

@@Hannah83 I'm so sorry for your loss. It's very difficult. I have had dogs and cats since I was 1 year old, have lost many over the years, it never gets easier. She had a good life, and she is with you in spirt, and lives on in your heart and memories. I believe my animal babies are in heaven and that we ill all be reunited again one day, this gives me comfort.

      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.
