Hey y'all! PJTP...:wub:

I'm doing fine - not much to report on the weight loss front, but my clothes are getting looser and I feel great. Been slacking off on the gym workouts, but walking more and loving that too. :ohmy:

DD is enjoying being 18, with a little money in her pocket and decent grades, so now she can go places and do things :thumbup: ...nice change for her, because she gets privileges revoked when the grades are crappy...

DH is planning a return to school - and finding the right curriculum is proving to be a bit of a challenge. He's interested in a lot of things, but either Civil or Electrical engineering are calling him right now. :w00t:

I'm doing well at work, still waiting for a call from a job closer to home - the economy has slowed down their already slow hiring process, but I can be patient...:thumbup:

Missed y'all - and had about 10 pages to read through!!!

Happy Friday, Everybody - have a terrific weekend!:w00t:

I asked here because this is where we talk...no debate no name calling just questions that were answered...

Smithart, you did way more than ask a simple question. You know it, I know it. Yes, this is where we "talk," but not in the way you addressed me. Please, do not feign ignorance. It was improper, and you know it.

Now please, if you wish to ask me anything else about whether or not I'm married because I'm so mean and opinionated, you are welcome to do so in PM or on the relavent thread. To bring a controversial topic or something where you disagree with me into a chit-chat thread simply to confront me is wrong no matter how you color it.

And if you can't handle debate or strong opinions on debate threads, I suggest you not go there. Do you go into an adult book store and complain about all the porno? Now, I'm finished with this with you.

Thanks for the good vibes everyone. I had a pretty decent day today. A little bored staying off the internet but I don't want to give my boss any ammo against me.

She is a crazy bitch.

I'm sure Fanny and She can pipe in here, but my grandmother (also from oz) tells me that although koalas are cute, they can be mean. They don't like people to eff with them, and their claws are sharp!!

Their claws are definitely long and very sharp!! The ones in the wildlife parks that are used to being handled are very cute and mostly docile, but there's no way I'd try to pick up a wild one! Those claws could cut to the bone!! Mind you, the ones on the wildlife parks have a reputation for peeing all over the tourists when they hold them for the photos :frown:.

Fanny/She/other nameless OAussies - I hope if the person arrested is found guilty through the legal system and not the media, he/she is imprisoned for a llooooonnnnnnnggggg time.

They arrested two people the other day but released them as they had the wrong people. It looks like they've got the right guy this time, let's hope the charges stick! He's apparently being kept in protective custody as there are real fears for his safety - and if he's convicted and goes to jail, they'll probably have to do that for the duration of his sentence coz I don't imagine he'd last very long in the general population of a prison.

Beth are you married?don't take this wrong but I think your kinda mean and confrontational and here's why you always call people names and are always debating something.... Can you please tell me why you like to make everyone hear your voice on every... topic

smsithart, don't take this wrong but how does someone NOT "take this wrong" when you are calling them mean and confrontational? It's pretty hard to misinterpret that!

      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!
