That's why I need Lulu to teach me!

You and me both!:tongue2: Her husband is taking her on vacation. My husband just came home and gave his mom half of my tiny bottle of dishwashing liquid! The bottle cost a freaking dollar, she can't afford that? WTH? She sent this huge bottle that had as much in it as my little bottle, but he put it right in there anyway!

Yeah, I know... :tongue2: Here lately I've been drinking coffee in the morning and it really stunts my appetite.

Have you tried Protein coffee? You make a Protein Powder sludge and mix it in instead of cream. You can use unflavored or a flavor that goes well with coffee. A bunch of my friends do that and it sets them up nicely for the rest of the day.

Me? I don't like coffee... :tt2:

Get OUT, really? That sounds very cool! Never even thought of that! I think I may have some vanilla stuff around here that may work well as my "creamer."

Mac, you are so smart. Thanks! :tongue2:

I like to get an iced vanilla latte and pour in extra ice and a muscle milk lite shake - my 'mocha latte protein shake' - soooo good! - warning use a big mug!

Now are you 'researching' Lulu's teaching methods or my successful use of those methods on certain hotties? Just wondering?

Ebony-(((((hugs)))))

I think everyone has give you excellent advice on how to handle this situation. I will only add that you cannot allow them to diminish your confidence. You ARE a very intelligent, capable woman. Don't let their stupidity rob you of that. No matter what they say, you KNOW you can do the job if they would stop moving the freaking target. You will never be able to hit a moving target, so don't start thinking that you aren't capable of the job just because they are being a*sholes about it.

Ebony,

What she said! Hang in there!! :tongue2:

Ebony, I am sorry that they are acting like idjist again. They are supposed to be smart? it doesn't sound like it to me. You have excellent advise given to you. Just know we love you hon:wub: Prayers that you get the other job soon. Meanwhile I pray that they lay off of you.

Oh, but would you sell something if you found out it was that valuable? Or keep it - for either sentimental or LATER resale value?

I'm not for sure. it would depend on how I felt about it.

My mother still as one of her original dolls - with the straw stuffing and real china head. The doll is probably 80+ years old. Wonder if it is worth something?

Chances are yes.

Thrift stores can also a source of treasures - from a newspaper:

Someone dropped off two paintings at a local Goodwill bin. The paintings were put aside in a shopping cart for the store manager to assess and price. The manager who knew nothing about art thought they might be originals. He called in an art dealer who identified them as by Peruvian artist Federico del Campo. The store decided to auction them and the winning bid was over $150,000.

Imagine if the manager hadn't thought to check - someone might have picke up these paintings for $10. or something....

I love some of the things I find in thrift stores!

Guess who just spent the last couple hours outside weeding, watering and planting while certain hot men were there working next door.

Of course primo uno hottie had to come take a Water break with me so he could vent about my crazy neighbor (she is an odd ball)

There are times when I love my life!

Blah, Blah, Blah, Just rub it in why don't ya!:ohmy:

Dr. told me today that I really stoved myself up when I tripped a couple of weeks ago. It's like yea ya think? Getting nervous about Monday. I see the ENT then. I will know if they will do the surgery or try meds to shrink the knot on my thyroid. I know it has gotten bigger since May. I can tell a big difference the last few weeks.

Hey Kat, do you have a new grandbaby yet?

      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. 💗

        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.
