I am frazzled! I started school again. My youngest daughter moved out of the house this morning. Heading for Texas. She left at 4:30 am. I cried for two hours. I am so happy no one has asked me to my face today about how do I like my empty nest. It sucks. I want my kids back!! I know it is time for me to put on my big girl pants and grow up. I just want a few days to mourn the passing of this period in my life. I have spend the last 20 years with my kids and now they are gone. Cry_emote_by_terbeag.gif I want my pity party!!! _violin__by_clairebearer.gif

Ahh :lol: I am sorry... :ohmy:

You will get through it... Maybe you should take Beth up on her offer :tt1:

If I was there it would be Rita partY!

PJTP - I miss some of our 'regular' posters - BBK, LJM, et al.

Me to. I don't FB. I did a couple of months ago and got a horrendous virus that shut me down for 2 weeks. Soon as I got my puter back I deleted it. So maybe someone who does FB can tell them to pop in once in a while.

Hi Everyone! I thought I would pop in and say hello. I haven't been on the site in a while. I need to get back. I have fallen off the wagon...well actually have been dragging behind the back left wheel. I need a fill and have been eating chocolate. Whew...that feels better.

Welcome home CC. read above post please and follow directions.:)Say bu-bye to chocolate right now!

You'll get used to it quicker than you think! :lol: I thought I would never get over my kids all leaving, but heck within a few days I was loving it! What is so funny now is if they can't reach me at home they call my cell and if I don't answer it they call my sister's home. If They can't find me they fall short of calling out the FBI!:tt1: When I finally get home and call them back it's 50 questions! I love it! Now they know how I felt when they were teenagers and would come home past cerfew.

So with sympathy for you right now here is a group pity party. Everyone ready? 1...2...3......AAAAWWWWWW23_29_120.gif 23_28_101.gif 4_9_9.gif:ohmy:

Good luck with school!

:tt1: I had to laugh at this one. It reminded me of a time several years ago. I didn't have a cell phone. I forwarded my calls to my mom's house while I was there. I forgot to unforward them. When she couldn't reach me at home (it kept going back to her house), she called the police! At 2 in the morning, I had the police at my door! When I answered, the policeman asked me to PLEASE call my mom because she was worried! How embarrassing!:ohmy:

I expect that of all my dates. And by "dates", I mean women I see in Walmart and follow home.

Bwahaha. I used to expect them to put out on the first date so that I could know whether it was worth going on a second with them. Time is scarce, ya know.

Ken is legit. He is someone that helps Alex with LBT. He is one of those computer wizzards.

Ken is legit. He is someone that helps Alex with LBT. He is one of those computer wizzards.

he should really disclose that tidbit of info - i saw the thread & i still wouldn't provide that info. he also then should have PM capabilities and sent messages directly to those with issues.

poor form of communication as someone acting on behalf of lbt.

ETA - doesn't someone working on behalf of LBT have ip address info? why would it be requested? makes for reasonable questioning..

i had more to say

I posted a post in the mod thread and asked

Susan to clarify what Ken's role in LBT is. If she doesn't answer soon, I will pm alex and ask him to post in here

exactly what Ken's role is here at LBT.

Or you can PM Alex if you wish, and ask him to make a post

about Ken so people aren't leary of him.

I did actually send a PM to Susan this morning after reading the post from Ken. She hadn't answered me. I have to agree that he could have identified himself as someone working with Alex. It would have helped (although I probably still wouldn't have provided my IP... just saying).

I agree too. I remember in the mod thread when they were

all talking about site issues, Alex posted that Ken was working on them. I asked "who in the heck is Ken"

I have never seen in posting at LBT before that one thread though. It's probably because they just did a big overhaul on changing servers.

Done. Hopefully it's just a TIA. They are extremely common.

Thanks. That actually was my first thought but it was a blood clot on the left side of her brain caused by the medication she was taking that they're treating with blood thinner. The doctors had her up and walking around the bed this morning. The neurologist will be back in later today to run more tests (speech, memory, motor skills) and hopefully she will be moved into a regular room by the end of the day. Thank God they found it early.

SNT-She is has my prayers. Is she, by any chance, from Chatt? I knew a girl by that name many years ago. I know that isn't exactly a common name, so I just wondered.

Thanks! I'm not sure where she's from originally. She's late 30's if that means anything. She's 5'6"-5'7" and a little darker than medium complexion and just sweet as can be. I kept saying, "please don't take her away from her 2 boys (and her hubby)."

Once they have your IP they can scan you for open ports and if you have ones open they can hack in and see everything as if they were looking at their own desktop.Not that I could/would ever have done that

Ha, you sound SO guilty!!!

I guess that is why I don't get it. I haven't wanted to talk to the people from high school when I see them in the store so why bother to have them look me up on Facebook? I created a facebook account once. I deleted it soon after.

Hmm, I too have been quite a good friend of chocolate lately. Seems like I like it more than it likes me!

Love this emoticon!

(((((CC))))) very sorry you're hurting as an empty nester. I know you'll get over it eventually but you can definitely think it sucks now!

it's friday - first day of spring; first day my dogs decide to get into EVERYTHING. spent an hr at the vet thinking one of my labs was bit by a snake - nope in a mound of fire ants.

Ugh, fire ants have moved into my front yard with an abandon. Where does one buy fire ant killer - some place like Lowe's?

poor form of communication as someone acting on behalf of lbt.

The communication comment made me laugh. It's way too long of a story for here but communication does not seem to be my employer's strong suit...nor any of its departments. :ohmy:

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜
