DH likes to have me buy really tall shoes to wear every once in a while. Even with those, he still has to bend down. I can't wait for the day when he can lift me.:tt2:

That's so adorable...my heart just melted a little.

Heading to freezer to freeze it back up to where it should be, damn it!

DH is about 4 inches taller. I do miss the tall guys (Long-term bf's in past have been above 6'), but he's still taller (even if by a tiny bit) than me if I'm wearing heels, and that's good enough.

Could someone show me the disclosure on LBT where it says you have to believe everything thats written on the forums? I didn't realize you have to hug and cuddle at all times when you aren't buying it.

No you must wait till 12 hours after surgery, eat it, cry, repent, and I will tell you that it was ok...

allow 10-12 months for band slippage.

I learned early on that following through with any threats/promises made to children and consistency were of MAJOR importance.

I once made a joking comment, to my oldest...she did not want to eat her diced carrots, and we both knew she had to at least try them, I thought teasing her might help so I told her to eat them or I'd stuff it up her nose. She give me her defiant look, and blew them out into a kleenex, choosing to EAT the next bite as opposed to it being administered nasally!

My DIL threatens, never following through, I get so tired of hearing her threaten to spank him, I am almost ready to do it myself and get it over!

Makes me crazy! And she is all over the place with discipline, one day she ignores him jumping on furniture or playing with the computer, the next she screams at him. It is no wonder he is such a handful, he has no bounderies he recognizes, and is free falling.

If you say NO to something on Monday, say it every other day of the week as well!

My 2 oldest had serious problems at first with curfew. They were in HS and had a 9-10 PM curfew on weekdays and midnight on weekends. They would push it.....so would be grounded. Was an evil cycle.

So then we finally laid down the law. For every MINUTE they were late, they owed Dad and I an HOUR of labor. Due when we wanted it, not them, too bad if it interfered...don't be late!

We used a wind up alarm clock sat it on the hall tree outside our room, set for midnight. If they got in, they turned the alarm off and all was well. If they were late, the alarm went off and time started! As a parent of a kid, I slept light enough to hear them sneeze or roll over with the door closed.

Now I am old and alone, they could come in and ransack the house and I would wake up the next morning going WTH?????

I take back every nice thing I have said about my oldest DD, she just strolled in with GS Thin Mint Cookies, she is EVIL!

I don't pay my kids for doing chores. Doing chores is something everyone in the family has to do because that's part of being in a family.

But once they get old enough, I give them a budget. DS gets one now. He figures out what kinds of things he wants to spend money on -- how much on clothes, how much on going out with friends, how much for his WOW subscription, etc. Then we negotiate. :)

Once his budget is set, that's it. If he blows all his money on a $75 t-shirt and can't pay for his WoW subscription, then oh well. He has to earn the extra somehow or do without.

Oh and now that he's old enough to work? He gets nothing in the summer. He has to get a job if he wants money.

DD is still just on the allowance plan. She gets so much a week for whatever she wants to spend it on. But she's only 10. When she's older, she'll be shifted to the budget plan. Unlike DS, she doesn't seem to understand the value of a dollar -- even though they both got the same allowance and it worked the same way -- so I anticipate a lot of whining and crying when she wants new clothes and can't afford them. I have to say, I'm not looking forward to it. But hopefully she'll learn even if it's the hard way. :tt2:

      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!

        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.
