I am actually feeling better now. But, my foot is absolutely killing me!!! He has me on some pretty good pain medicine, but every time I take it it makes me dizzy again and very sleepy. I can't believe I have to go through this again with the other foot and am definitely not looking forward to it. And, I am not allowed to go back to work until he gives me the approval. My post-op appointment isn't until Monday afternoon. I have strict orders to keep my foot elevated, on ice and to stay off of it as much as possible. So, I am already bored out of my mind. Needless to say, I will be spending a lot of time on the forums and sleeping. Keep me entertained guys!

One surgery down. Glad it went ok, but I can imagine the boredom. Sadly my life is not too entertaining - even for me! I live vicariously through all of you.

me supporting a man? Not bloody likely! (Now supporting a laid off husband or husband that went back to school, etc is an entirely different story!) But supporting some crackhead while he doesn't work? Uh nope!

How about "call me at Christmas only?" Ba-da-bing! I like Tippy-Tap!

Exactly if he had been employed and lost his job - totally different (and sadly become way too common), or if he was going to school. But no, he is just a lazy drug dealin' slob.

And yes, I'm liking Tippy-tap...

he's doing ok ... still has jaundice and eating issues (only ate about 12 oz yesterday), but we're working thru them.dd is doing ok... a tad green around the edges, but she's coming around.

PJTP - ok ... i wont go into details, but i'm becoming more physically active the past 2 or so days - im actually almost caught up on the laundry, dishes pretty much done right on time, unloading some of J's clothes, you name it... the things they DONT tell you about for when after the baby comes ... scared the crap out of me... i thought i was dying .. literally...

Glad to hear you are all coming around...

But I think I'm on his bad side now. Great.

There's a lot of that going around; was it 'bosses turn on staff' week and no one told me?!?

PJTP - As much as I love company, an aunt who you havent seen in a few years calling from the train station to announce her 'surprise' visit is a little ... presumptious. Oh well, she's here, and we are having a good visit even though I felt badly that I didn't have the room prepared or her special foods bought (I keep a little book outlining everyone's food preferences). She's here only for a few days, and she was a great aunt to me, so this is a very small repayment on the debt of family loyalty and support.

, so he had DD stay home from school to take care of me. She force fed me crackers and made me drink some Gatorade. I have strict orders to keep my foot elevated, on ice and to stay off of it as much as possible. So, I am already bored out of my mind. Needless to say, I will be spending a lot of time on the forums and sleeping. Keep me entertained guys!

Susan, Glad you made it through alright. You have a good DD to help you and force you to eat and drink some. Entertainment, uhm let me think, this will have to do5_2_2.gif The farmer in the Dell

Tippy-tap...cute

What a thoughtful and caring person you are. I just ask people if there is anything special they need for their diet and then rush out and get it. I would have been freaking out if someone just calls me and says hey I'm here in town and staying with you! After the initial freak out I would be happy though.

if someone called me and said they were at the airport/train station/bus station and i had not invited them, i would offer them a ride to their hotel if they pitch in for gas.

I have to agree with this. I really, really hate unexpected and uninvited guests!!

LJM, sounds like things are going well for you in your household. Glad to hear it.

Denise, you are going to have to get a Facebook account to see her precious baby pictures.

My doctor called in a different pain med for me and they are working much better. These don't make me sick anymore.

Off to the next thread now with "The farmer and the dell" playing in my mind. Thanks for that. :cursing:

I'd even transport them for free! I'm a giver like that! 11.gif

I hate suprise drop ins too but if they are a favorite, much loved relative, then they get a "Get out of Jail Free Card".

But as my mother says, the phone is a wonderful invention! That's beyond rude to just pop in assuming people have nothing else to do than to entertain!

i get a lot of company - those wanting to escape the city.

i don't mind - they usually bring a lot of wine & good food to cook up when visiting....most bring their fur babies too to run around the ranch - never thought about it but i should start charging boarding fees..LOL

in catch up mode on the thread, few grandmas on the thread, i do like tippy taps:) as a name.

funny thing taps - my favorite aunt is in town too (mom's baby sister), she's in the city as we have a wedding tonight....she can stay w/me anytime, i LOVE the stories she has on my mom.

I'm not saying to not entertain your relatives or friends; I'm just saying a phone call before is a lot more considerate!

Actually, I started a face book account. I am not sure how to find people there though, or how to have people find me,either. How do I do that?(without letting people who I might not want as friends contacting me?)

All of you said face book was easier than myspace, but I am finding it really confusing. I guess it takes a little while to get used to it?

Click on "Friends" and then "find friends". You can search by employers, high schools, colleges, or by name. If you use your real name, people will be able to find you but you do not have to accept their friend request(s).

I'd also go into your "settings," "privacy settings," and set everything to "friends only."

My two cents. :-)

It's not just you. I find it a bit more confusing that MySpace too. :cursing:

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💜
