I have been married twice and neither one of my MIL's liked me! My current MIL is pouting and has not returned our telephone calls, emails, letter etc. in nearly three years. I have given up on her. She was really mad when she called my husbands cell phone when he was driving in DC where it is illegal to talk on the cell phone. A policeman tapped on the car window to tell my husband to get off the phone. When he told her he had to go she was PISSED! We have never heard from her again. :) It is sad.

I've had 3 MILs and I have either been extremely lucky and had great MILs or I'm so special they couldn't help but love me. :biggrin:

Of course, I've got the mother from hell so maybe that's karma--sorry life dealt you such a difficult mom so you're consolation prize is great MILs.

Then you may count me as NOT a real man. There are just some things I will not do. Haven't found any yet, but I'm willing to bet that is one.

Under the right circumstances, I've found that most men will do just about anything...

Hi Everyone,

First, I have to thank each and everyone one of you very, very special people for all the kinds words and support. You really have no idea how much it means and how much it is helping. Between battling the flu for the past several days, and being upset about the weight battle as well, I was pretty down in the dumps and very down on myself. Reading through the posts here and all the pm's I received, I realized what a great group of people we have here and how lucky we all are to have found each other. I am confident I am going to get back on track. I have an appointment with my doctor and his nutritionist the first week in January. I have started tracking what I am eating on the daily plate to help get myself back on track. Due to still fighting the flu and being laid up on my couch with it, I have not been back to the gym. But, as soon as I recover, dh and dd have agreed to help motivate me and we are all going to go together. So, with the help of all of you and my wonderful family, I know I can conquer this once and for all.

Okay, I am done with the sappiness now and return you back to your regularly scheduled posting just to post.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fanny, you are one brave woman handling all those snakes! That is something I could never in a million years do.

As for mother-in-laws, my first one was very, very controlling of my kids and my then husband. I do no miss her at all. My father-in-law was an entirely different story. He was wonderful and I miss him very much. I never see my new mil due to a lot of very deep issues between her and dh, so no problems for me there.

Ebony, it sounds like things are going very well for you, congrats!!! Froggi, how are you doing?

I am not sure I want to see any man in leather diapers, it sounds kind of scary to me.

Plain, the new avatar is great!!!!

Susan, great to hear. Keep the tracking going and that may help you figure it out on your own. At least it will give the dr and nutritionist something to work with.

Now, let's see, Beth are you from Virginia? You are a Redskins fan, are you? Cuz that would be worse than a Gnats fan that hides out in Cowboys country pretending to be a real football fan.:cursing:

Susan, I am glad to see you're feeling more confident. It's such a shame that this is a life long battle for all of us. It would be so wonderful if the band could do something for head hunger and cravings. I have been guzzling Water like crazy thinking if I slosh around enough, I won't think about food.< /p>

Fanny those snakes are nasty looking. I can't even believe you were holding them.

I'm doing well. Healing nicely. I just started exercising again today well like walking for an extended period of time. Bout 20 minutes today and I got tired and dizzy. I started full liquids yesterday. As of now I am still at surgery weight which is 363 The day after surgery I had ballooned up to 374 due to IVs and such...after about 1 or 2 more days I was back down to 363 and haven't moved since then. I am hoping the scales will start to move soon. I am 8 days post op and loving it. I see my surgeon for my 2 week post op visit on Monday.

I am a fan of none. Can't stand sports (unless it's guys in leather g-strings and capes, of course, but none of y'all are brave enough to do that, lol), but I was a Texan for 27 years. If it came down between the Cowboys and the Redskins, I would probably root for the Cowboys. And I only say "probably" because did I mention I can't stand sports? B)

PJTP: Okay, I about had a freakin' heart attack not long ago.

I just came from my first post-op doctor visit, and everything went very well -- so well, in fact, that they're putting me on mushies a few days early.

Anyway, the doc and I went over my procedure (I even got PICS of my insides before, during, and after I was banded!!), and we were talking about slippage and what can cause it, yada yada.

Anyway, I'm driving home and getting close to my subdivision, and I lean down to get something out of a compartment under my radio and hear and feel *POP!* Omg, I about died! I'm thinking it's my band, but it didn't feel like my band, omg, was that my band, please tell me that wasn't my band, but if it was my band, wouldn't I have felt something different, but omg, it happened about the place my band is, omg, omg, omg.

I get home and I'm feeling around... it was the underwire (which I think is plastic) in my bra. :cursing:

      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. 💜

      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!

        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.
