What an exciting morning for everyone - sleep to those who need it, enjoyment of fresh good food, slipping into something smaller, etc, etc - I LOVE IT!

I hope the joy continues all weekend long. Have some guys coming over to work on projects for the house.

Need to get out and weed though! :biggrin:

DH and i are just looking at one another - as to who is going to get on the tractor & mow/clean pool or hit up the farmers market.

he's gotten in touch w/his feminen side lately watching martha stewart & has a great recp he wants to cook tonight - so therefore he should go shopping......has NOTHING to do w/it being in the high 90's already:blushing:

Card has to be pulled - the words are spoken! Not even a Cowboys fan (cringes and ducks as words are typed) but his ticket usage should probably be withheld until he learns proper man behavior again.

Punishment should probably be all the before mentioned tasks and then fanning you with a palm!

Glad your doing so much better Lu.

On the other hand....are you sure that your hubby has the band and it is saline being put in it? Maybe your living in the Twilite Zone!:biggrin:

Now that's just not nice - here we are suffering the coolest and wettest summer on record, and you're boasting of hot temps! Send them this way!

Wondering how much it would cost me to fly Taps to ATL.

WHOO HOO!!! I finally slept. I went from 9pm last night until 830 this morning - unheard of for me, but absolutely fan-freakin-tastic!!!! Thanks for all your wishes!

That's great!!!!!

Now, if only I could go out and play in the dirt. But NOOOOOO, I've gotta stay inside and do stuff because it's raining again/still!!

See above about flying Taps to ATL...

Wow; you sound so much better than you have all week! Great!

I hope the joy continues all weekend long. Have some guys coming over to work on projects for the house.

Hopefully they'll be cute!!! :tongue2:

Ugh I do too but so despise yard work!

I am up, and off to buy a bassinet. For my newest grandson to be. Should be fun---on a Saturday! YUCK!

Oh well could not be helped.

Glad you finally slept Tap, I did too----went back to bed after DH left for work (feels so wicked to do it, but I LOVE it!!!) and slept like a log for another 2 hours!

g4e---I remember making the change back into button/zip pants from the elastic ever growing ones I wore. At first it was difficult, come evening, I wanted my comfort back! Now if I try to wear anything with elastic--like my work out style pants or capri's somewhere, I hate it, I have no pockets!

Congrats on fitting into them!

I am stuck in my old clothes. I want back into my 8's but apparantly not bad enough, because I am not wearing them! Thankfully I had not gotten rid of the 10's yet, because I have been in them all summer......someone needs to kick me in the butt!

Well I am off to fight the shopping crowds....at least it is not the first of the month. Wish me luck!

Tap~ Yeah on the sleep! Boo on the raining! It will be 95 here today and we don't have airconditioning, yuck!

Lu~ Send hubby this way, someone that loves to cook, my dream! I cook and mow, hmm, something just isn't right with that statement. Throw on some sunscreen, turn on the iPod and mow away! Nothing like a little solitude.

G4E~ Button and zip - oh, yeah! Great NSV!

Heartfire~ Love The Monkees! Used to watch the show when I was a kid! Oh wait, dating myself!

Off to get a massage this morning - decided to treat myself. Then home to do more weeding and mowing, never ending cycle! Last day for step-daughter, she is with her dad all morning, maybe the reason for the trip will be revealed?

Have a great one, rain or shine!

      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!

        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. 😍

      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!
