I just started Facebook and it is like a new addiction, lol. I have only been setup for a few days but have been active for me.

That is all I need while in graduate school, one more excuse to procrastinate on the computer when I should be writing a paper (Beth I feel your pain, lol).

Hehe, partners in crime. :blink:

I decided to go for a walk/run for an hour to keep me from realizing I'm sitting here doing NOTHING but looking at my research documents. Ugh. And to think, I CHOSE to do this paper because I CHOSE to do the honors portion of this class. :lol:

Drive by: I've lost 7 pounds since Monday! And to think, I was going to tell the Doc to shove it, that I wanted the whole fill out - a fill wouldn't do a darn thing, and yet here I am!

Now, granted, the 7 is 7 I've gained very recently, but whatever! I'm still happy about it. :blink:

That's GREAT, Glouc! I'm down 11 pounds since my fill last Thursday. It's only 6.5 down from my prior lowest (I kept bobbling up and down for the prior month), but it's a new low for me. :blink:

My absolute lowest since I was 16 years old was reached about a year ago...but I was too tight and couldn't even keep Water down. I didn't eat anything for days, barely drank and finally got a friggin clue! I had dropped 10 pounds in those few days, and needed an unfill.

After I was unfilled (completely) I gained those 10, plus another 7!

So, that's the 7 I just lost (it has been a whole year!!)and now I am trying to follow all the rules and be very, very careful this time. :blink:

But, thank you!

Beth, Glou-that is awesome weight loss!

I hope to join your club after my fill on Tuesday. Wish me luck! I am tired of losing and gaining the same 4 pounds.

I'm a bouncer, too. I didn't get frustrated until I bounced up and never bounced back down.

I'm sure Plain will have something to say about that, but it is what it is....

So, the rain's coming from YOUR way, huh? :)

I also wish people wouldn't type that way. I used to have a boss that actually wrote that way, where some random letters would be capitalized.

Welcome Carson!! What a great name! Thanks for posting Kat. Hope Laura is doing well.

WTG Glouc and Beth! I agree with Lulu, at least in my case, I'm a bouncer too! :)

On a fun note, got to see my 15 yr old niece today. :) My sis and family live an hour and a half away and she works crazy shift schedules. So we never get to see each other.

This AM sis e-mails to tell me that DN will be at my local HS this afternoon for a track meet! I didn't have anything going so DD and I went over there to see if we could find her. It was great! She was only competing in 1 heat so we got to visit a lot.

DN is also involved in her Robotics team at school and they get to go Dallas the 29th! School is paying for everything! I'm so excited for her. She's never flown before either so should be an exciting trip for her. And she's only a freshman so I can't imagine how the rest of her high school career is going to go if she's starting off like this! :sad:

We didn't get home til just before 8, DD's bedtime. She ate a PB&J and I put her to bed. She was out within 15 minutes! :) Dun wore her little self out today!!!

      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..

      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.
