Beth - very impressive drinking girl!

Lulu - I agree no holding out - my curiosity is high when I'm tired - would make you a cupcake.

BTW lulu - I officially challenge you to a scrabble night duel and/or night of various other games (i don't play chess though). Although - it might be beneficial to be on the same team - I think we would kick some ass!

Of course there will have to be lots of mojitos and I make a mean tequila punch.

I look at new washers and dryers, but everyone I talk to has mixed feelings about what they have!! Some love their front loaders, and those with steam clean options, others despise them.....too many decisions!! Especially since it seems my old Maytag set I have is going to last forever!! They are minimally 10 years old, and going strong, nothing wrong, no reason to replace....except they have newer prettier ones out there now!!! Meanwhile----the ones I have worked and laundry is done, well last load is in the dryer. I thought of y'all with every damn shirt I folded!!!

My 3 year old grandson decided we are going to go to Fuddruckers for dinner! He just learned to say it and not make the great Grandma's gasp in horror! It is a 50's style hamburger place. Lots of memorabilia both local and 50's all over the place. The best thing about going there, is that you order, and then they have bars for all the fixin's so you can have it your way. No the BEST thing about it is, that if the extended family insists on bringing extra people we do not know, every kid they have brings a friend etc. THEY get to pay for them! It is a pay as you come in kind of place, so each family unit covers their own. Amazingly they often don't show up when they are expected to buy their own!!! Doesn't hurt my feelings!!!

Addition to the shop is going up nicely.....AND they guy doing it, I find him amazingly attractive, and furthermore-----I can have my way with him any time I want!!! In fact.....took him a cold beer and shared a kiss just a few minutes ago. He may not make Cosmo......but he trips my trigger!!!! LOL

Cupcakes are yummy! I did just the opposite, and bought the mini cupcake/muffin tins. Easier to limit myself, and easier for my young grandkids to handle. And in my DH's opinion the ratio of icing to cake is better!!!

Well better get myself cleaned up and ready to go party! See ya!

Kat - yes you do have it much better by being able to look and touch (***now very sad***

I forgot to answer your question SLIM about the W&D. I got the high efficiency front loading Electrolux - I laughed Lulu when you mentioned yours - because mine are red - and I was like - how did she know.

I opted not to get the steam cleaning because the salesmen says it was extra money for nothing really - because the regular version has a sanitation cycle and the Water temp is high enough that it accomplishes the same thing the steam cleaning would.

They are the bright spot in my very scary basement (that my BIL has nicknamed - the place where bad things happen)

I agree! I might do that tonight though!:thumbdown:

I could cheat for your team! I play scrabble ok, but not very well. I really don't play chess well. DS taught me to play.

Of course there will have to be lots of mojitos and I make a mean tequila punch.

The last time (and first) I had tequila, I didn't remember the rest of the night. I remember parts of it, but there are some lost hours.:scared2:

So then you're in for the tequila punch?

So if the 3 of us are a team - who's going to play against us?!?

They would have to be one heck of a player to beat the three of us! :thumbup:

I am about to go and make my mojitos. DH said he couldn't take it because he likes them so much.:scared2: More for me.:thumbdown:

Meh, used to be able to do much more when I was heavier. Went out with a group one night and did 13 drinks total and could still walk a fairly straight line. Seven of those were Long Island Iced Teas. I get much drunker much quicker these days after a few, so even five was pretty impressive. Granted, we started around 7:00ish and quit drinking sometime after 3:00. Even walked the neighborhood twice during that time. Was out like a light, though. Won't EVEN admit how many Xanex... :thumbdown:

I'm not like this (neither is hubby), but I think I needed it. If that makes sense. I've been in a humongous funk for over a week now and I've never been a party girl, so...

I think you did too. I am glad that you were able to enjoy yourself, even if it did take quite a bit to get you there.:thumbdown:

      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. 😍

    • 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. 💜

      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!
