I have laughed so hard today! My goodness, I needed that laugh so badly. The poop thread was hilarious! I enjoyed everyone's reply to granny, both here and on her thread. Priceless!

I second that. LOL I haven't laughed so hard in so long. Even my boss wanted to know what was so funny. Anyways, it made a horridly slow day at work ALOT better.

Don't forget "Isn't that darling?" and "How nice." with their variations. Usually said in a very sweet tone and with a smile.

BTW - I'm trying the recipe on (I think) page 3 for the talapia. Even though fish makes me gag.

If it's good I'll use it on my piggie (we have three: Leonardo di Piggio, Petey Punkin Pie and Sebastion).

Or maybe the dog (Papillon named Elliot)

Or the cat (adopted named Ivan - the terrible)

Or the female beta (Rain - Storm died and we need to replace her).

Or Sally the Salamander (who is way past her expected life span and probably too tough to eat.

The end of August a mountain lion ate our other cat, Little Bear, and out other dog (also a Papillon), Bugsy McRoss of Skidmore. The kids and I are pretty broken up about that

I went in yesterday and had .5 cc taken out. Man I feel so much better today. It was wonderful to chew!:sneaky:

Not the way to lose weight.

I had to stay in town until I'd eaten something to make sure I was okay this time.

The nurse said they're getting a lot of people up from Phoenix to get fills (who'd had their surgery done in Mexico).

I love this thread!:thumbup:

I absolutely am a car chick but $1.5M for something that immediately depreciates? Oh hell no!

Tap - you all definitely need to move from that deep freezer!

L2L - the naked lady - I'm a live n let live kinda gal but I think I might have to tell the owners so that they can have a "discussion" with The Flasher!

re: grandmasandy - who put a bee in her bonnet? sheesh.

Texas isn't in "the south" IMO. It's southwest.

"Bless your heart" is what one says after making a comment that is less than favorable. e.g. "that baby just isn't cute....bless its heart"

I was sitting there thiking God I wish I had a can of Lysol...I'd aerosol her ass...

Seriously, eww.

tap/cera - Snow? What's that? lol - all I know is that it is freakin' cold here!!! I live in the deep south for a reason - I don't wanna wear a jacket - damned old man winter is going to make me get it out...

I said the exact same thing at work today!

In that case, tell her the theatre is closed!

Great comment!!!

Would it be out of line to say "Have a blessed day, bitch?"

Heck no it wouldn't!!!

Nope. "Fixin' ta" might be pure Texan, but "Bless your heart" is more genteel Southern.

Fixin' to is all over the south; not just Texas.

Maybe PattyGreen ordained her? I thought I'd heard a rumor that PG has a direct cell # to the Almighty.

ROFL!!!

is it wrong that i pointed ole granny to OH??

Oh hell no it isn't!!!

My grandmother used to hit me with her cane.

Brandy, where do you live in Oregon?

Wow; my paternal grandmother wasn't grandmotherly but she didn't hit me! She was more passive-aggressive with her disappointment.

My grandmother gave me a hard time for eating a piece of cantaloupe for Breakfast once. "You don't see the thin people eating cantaloupe, do you?" she said to me.

I gave her my "are you batshit crazy, woman" look and she shut up. My sister was getting married and too nervous to eat breakfast and my grandmother never ate in public as far as I could tell. They were the two thin people who obviously got that way from not eating cantaloupe. :thumbup:

If bless your heart is an insult (my mind is still reeling over that) then is 'Bless you' also an insult? I know that I use that phrase a lot, in fact have probably written it on LBT...I SWEAR it was NEVER an insult. Bless you is said (in my area) as a thanks - someone brings you a coffee unexpectedly, or does you a favor unsolicited. The response is either 'Thank you. I appreciate it' or 'Bless you'.

Never have been hit , punished yes, hit no...can't relate at all.

What's the difference between south and (as Sick used it) deep south? Why isn't Texas southern? Man oh man, I have a lot of geography to brush up on obviously.

Almost 5am...I can now start to get ready for the day - the Y doesn't open until 530.

If I had an overnight low of 48 degrees I might just spend the night outdoors in shorts and a t shirt. Our high today is supposed to be 7.

      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. 💜

      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. 💗

        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!
