PJTP...Catching up!:cool2:

Hi yall! Work is...work. Had a new project to finish yesterday, it's all done, just waiting on approval from the BB, whose wife just had a baby boy (their 3rd child) on Tuesday.

Bought a new car - my Cadillac had 162K miles and was starting to show a new warning light every other day...no way it was going to pass emissions in January, so...new car incentives + Ebony's tired of old car + hatred for car payments = inexpensive new car! I now drive a white (Nordic White, dontcha know) Hyundai Accent. It's the smallest car I've EVER driven, and it's cute as a button! Great gas mileage, not too high on the payment or insurance, and still will carry me and my stuff, plus an occasional passenger and some groceries.

I'm happy about it - though now I'm trying to figure out how fast I can pay off the car, since I haven't had a car payment since 1990! :eek:

Had a wonderful melon and chicken salad for lunch - of course, since it's 2:30 pm EST as I type this, that means I was eating off and on for over an hour! Normally I would have inhaled the salad and looked for something else. Today, I ate a little chicken, some melon, and waited. Repeat. I love my banded life! :wub:

Hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon and evening...Lulu - hope you get relief soon! TPG - I feel ya on going without cable - I HAD to do it once and it wasn't fun. Hope your weekend goes fast and they fix it fast. Tap - hope you are able to find relief and some good sleep tonight. G4E - I :wub: Sleepy Time Tea - actually, most Celestial Seasonings tea I love...

See ya!:smile:

PJTP: My satellite dish is broken :mad2::cool2::angry::wub::eek:. Idiots won't come until Monday to fix. Monday, you hear me? Mon - day. It's Friday. WTH do I do Sat and Sun?:wub: Thought I was gonna have to actually do some real work today when LBT was down. Whew. Glad it's up and running or things may have gotten ugly:thumbup:.

Okay, found something constructive to do. I'll see just how many annoying Smileys I can add to this post:w00t:.

TPG

:cool:

Glad to know it wasn't just me that couldn't get on. I was trying from my cell phone so it didn't give any type of error. Sorry about no TV until Monday. That sucks! Hopefully you have some DVDs or VCR tapes to make the time between posts on LBT go fast.

Hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon and evening.

Hi Ebony! Hi KC! Hi Glouc! Hi Kat! Hi Plain! Hi Beth! Hi Susan! Hi G4E! Hi Heartfire! Hi BBK (if you are lurking)! Hi SMS! Hi luluc! Hi Tap! I hope that I didn't miss anyone! Wow that is a long list of names!

Happy Friday everyone. Hopefully by now, luluc has gotten relief from the band problems, and tap is happily taking a nice long nap.

I am sorry for being a wimp about my mouth. That is all it is. I am just a plain ole wimp.:smile: Have a great weekend for those of you that have a life (unlike me) and won't be on here that much.

I had some drama at work, nothing like KC, though...

I'm a first responder at work and across where I sit, they are building out 2 offices (on top of layoffs, isn't that sweet?)

A guy was here cutting drywall and cut his finger! It was kinda boring, because all I did was direct him to the bathroom where a male responder took over. I got to clean up blood, though, and fill out reports.

The guy was a contractor and very embarassed over it. He said, I have a napkin, I'll get it...and I'm like, yeah, no. We have a HUGE safety agenda and this is recordable.

See ya!:smile:

Ebony. I am glad you love your little new car. Have fun with it, BUT........waiting for it..........why white?

I love Celestial Teas also. I have 1 corner cupboard that on 1 shelf I have over 10 different types of teas. My favorite is BlueBerry. I love my hot teas especially in the winter. LOL When I first moved here, they really didn't know what hot tea was other than to make ice tea with. I got a lot of "You mean to tell me you actually drink it hot?" "That just aint natural." :wub: I never thought anything about it when we would come visit Grandma & Grandpa. Grandma kept Tab around and ice tea. But we always had tea bags for hot tea. Enough people have transplanted here from the North, so there are many different types of tea now instead of the 2 that where here when I moved. Gallon and 1/2 gallon size bags.:wub:

Irritated with #2 DD. She knew I was going to pick up my DGSs today so they could mow my yard. It is so high. I called her before I left work and she tells me they have to be home by 4. Wow 1 hr to mow in and get them home? We talked about it yesterday and everything was hunky dory. My yard looks like white trash lives here! Hasn't been mowed in 2 weeks now. You would think that with 3 DDs and 2 SILs that someone would mow my grass. They all know I have weight limits. But I guess in the end, I know it won't get done unless I do it!:cool2: My DGSs help but can't mow the hill. They have been gone for the last few weekends. Oh well I am off my rant:rant:

Tap, hopefully you will sleep tonight.

slim, good luck with your braces.

Lu, hope your feeling better

To everyone I hope you all have a good weekend.

* TPG found PG - wow that was fast.....glad your satellite has been reinstated

Lu, I found PG my first day on forum. Then I found HH and a few others. Interesting. My sister always says I'm flypaper for freaks but I don't know if that applies in this case.

Satellite is loose thanks to roofers. Guy installing my deck today says he could fix it if he knew my transponders or something. I told him that I just didn't know him well enough to show him my transponders but that he was welcome to show me his :smile:. Well, I shant elaborate on that but he did have nice tools :cool2:. As for stupid satellite dish, I got the co. to move my appt. from Mon. afternoon to morning. Big of them, huh? Right now my reception is spotty. So is my dalmation. As long as LBT doesn't go offline again, I may live until Mon. (but I make no promises).

To all you PJTP folks: I hope you can all sleep, eat, drink, chew, get out of pain, etc. Glou, wow, what excitement...blood and trauma...Happy Friday to you!

TTFN,

TPG

Glou - glad to share the trauma drama with you for the day!

Lu - never too early for wine - especially on a friday! Glad your feeling better.

I have recovered - only able to get 4 hours sleep because I had an appt this am. Why would I want to deviate from normal anyway - fortunately I don't get hungover - so just another day.

I am bored though - mostly b/c I'm putting off the massive house cleaning I need to do - why can't someone entertain me (imagine me on the floor, kicking my feet and rolling around like a 5 yr old child)

- that's the sentiment intended

Oh to be back to last night, joyfully intoxicated, dancing and surrounded by sexy men in their 20's

Snarky Alert:

Be sure to check out the thread in powder Room from the horny gal. Also see her post about eating 5 days out from surgery. She was just a bit rude to me. Hmmmm.

      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. 💗

      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. 💜

      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.
