ouch...this was her response to my email:

"i don't know, if i'm gonna be the same happy person anymore. x_x i know ALOT care and love me so much, i just can't take it ! :'("

I will call tonight. Poor baby...now I'm really worried.

Lu, maybe attention seeking, but I dunno. She was always a happy fun kid, no drama. So, I'm not sure. I think she's into boys and doesn't know how to handle it.

I was horrible once I hit puberty and really didn't "snap out of it" until I was older. Dropping out of HS made life hard, ...having a truancy officer made it harder before dropping out! :)...I just don't want to see her go through what I did.

Not to scare you, but teen suicide is always pretty high. I had three people I KNEW in four years commit suicide when I was in high school. Again, not to scare, but it is something to think about. :blink:

Yeah...and maybe I'm not there, so don't know. I would know what to look for if DD started acting different, but it's hard when it's not your kid AND you're not even there.

I just emailed the mom and aunts to tell them.

It's 4 here...almost time to leave.

Feels like Friday - man, I'll be grumpy tomorrow!!!

Well if your gut tells you to check on her u should..I was worried about one of my teenage cousins awhile back and was willing to move her to florida and take her in ..her father my uncle was really sucking at being a parent anyways long story short he wouldn't let her move with me because he thought she would date the wrong men(meaning black men because little buddy is mixed)fast forward 3 yrs later she has 2 kids shes 19 and the state took them.

its not my fault I tried I lost a lot of sleep over it.

Hello everyone! I am at my DD's so I am on the puter.

My DD will post after my surgery to let you all know how I am doing.

I have decided that until I get a decent paying job or lots more hrs that I am not getting internet hooked back up. I have more important bills to pay. I am still having LBT withdrawels something feirce! I miss you all.

There is just so much to read and so little time that I am letting you all know that I pray you are all having a blessed day. I pray you got the new jobs applied for. Health issues are better, pets are better. When I don't have the grand kids bothering me so much I will try to read and post a proper post.

:blink: miss ya'll

~Glouc, how sad! I'd definitely call her. Esp if your gut is telling you too.

~Tap, your mom REALLY needs to see a doc about that toe!

~Slim, that recipe you gave me is in the crockpot right now and is making my house smell SOOOOOOO good! And dinner isn't for another couple of hours!

~SMS, don't be sorry for panicking about the swine flu. I'm now trying to decide if DD is going to start preschool next week. She'll go 2 days then miss the next week b/c we're out of town. There is a flu epidemic at the HS, 200 students are out right now. School only has about 700! And another elementary school has a stomach flu bug going thru there too. I don't want DD to get sick right before our trip or while we're driving on the first 3 days of the trip!

It's WAY too early for flu stuff! And they don't think it's H1N1 but they're testing all the kids anyway, just in case.

~G4E!!!! So good to hear from you! Take care and best wishes on your surgery! (((HUGS!)))

BBL!

Evening everyone! I am so glad that it is almost Friday! I am so ready for the long weekend.

Heartfire-I hope that you all enjoy the food. We all ate the leftovers today. I had them for lunch, and DS and DH had them for dinner. We really like it.

G4E-it is so good to hear from you! We will be praying for a speedy recovery from your surgery!

How is everyone doing?

Beth--YAY!!! :blink:

Glou--I would go with your gut too!

SMith--You would make a good Micheal! lol.... :)

Hello everyone!

Beth, WTG! :)

Lulu - dead birds, ick. My dog tries to bring them inside after just maiming them. Urgh. :)

G4E - prayers for your surgery and recovery :eek:

The Swine Flu thing is kinda scary :blink:. I have a doc's appt. next week and I'm planning to wash myself in Purell when I finish. That MJ mask thing isn't an all-bad idea :eek:.

Slim, your crockpot meal sounded good. Don't feel like cooking though. :w00t:

Ebony, WTG - You're doing great. :cool2:

Brandy, enjoy your wine! It's fruit, damn it. How could it be bad? :)

Fanny - serious ouch on the tooth. Root canals do suck :).

Shoot, I knew I'd forget somebody (somebodies). Sorry! It's been a bad day. Hope you all are doing well. :wink:

PJTP: No seminar tomorrow. I finally heard from my original doc...He had some valid points. I'm finding a new doc and won't be doing a self-pay. I blogged all about it but it's boring and rambling. Earlier today, I figured I'd never get a band at all. Maybe I still won't. Having insurance issues. If this new guy doesn't work out, I'll have to give up on surgery. I may give up on LBT and FB - I really don't like the new tone. I am wondering what happened to free speech. :tt1:

Take care! TTFN.

TPG...don't give up. You've been through so much, and you're on your way. I really do believe things happen for a reason, so maybe that other doctor wasn't the right one. Whatever valid points he had, maybe you can work on it...? Don't know what they were, but anything is workable, right? :cool2:

I may give up on LBT and FB - I really don't like the new tone. I am wondering what happened to free speech. :blink:

If I had a part in this (kinda think I did...:)) then I am SORRY. I don't want to turn anyone away from a support site.

I tend to air dirty laundry, not to be obnoxious, but to work out any problems openly and honestly. I don't like sneakiness and lying. So, if I've been obnoxious and turned you away from LBT, then again, I'm sorry. Please stay and get the support you need here. Maybe put me on ignore! LOL :tt1:

I'm not leaving! Can't get rid of me that easily. I'm just having a bad day. Glou, I have NO problems with you!

As for my surgery saga, I finally got a call from the original doc. Because my insurance is Medicaid (don't judge me here...I NEVER thought I'd be disabled and on Medicaid) if I self-pay, they could drop me. I have too many other health issues to let that happen. The doc did say I was a good candidate for lap band and suggested another doc in the same hosp. It's very hard to find anyone who will accept Medicaid. I did find someone though! I'm submitting paperwork and we'll go from there.

I'm sure you all can imagine how frustrated I am. My surgery should be over and done by now. I may have to wait at least 6 months now. Don't know for sure. So, the day has been full of ups and downs. Then, I come here and read Glou's thread...then to FB and find that someone commented on my comment...well, I'm annoyed. Let freedom ring, to loosely quote the Martina song....

WTH, whatever.... You can't please everybody...I'm finished with trying that. Thanks for letting me vent. I really rely on my PJTPers for support and laughs.

Anywho, TTFN,

TPG

Hey, wait. Why would I have that book? Are you suggesting that I need it?

Of course not. We know you don't have sex.

Maybe they shot it somewhere else...and it didn't fall right away?....dog came, got it, left feathers?

Very possible. Dove hunting is a "shotgun" hunt, and it's possible a bird got enough pellets to not die right away.

Plain, dearest, you have to have 'an organ' that is big enough to 'stand away' from the body in order to indulge in that particular incomparable pleasure! Sorry you're so "challenged"...maybe next lifetime?

Somebody's been peeking in my shower!

Plain, so sorry the dummy talked, but I'd be checking the internet very soon. I've heard there are VERY explicit videos which are not the most flattering for you. Rumor has it the dummy is more endowed./QUOTE]

Somebody ELSE has been peeking in my shower!!

Maybe its a thing with teen girls now..my neice is all emo and post weird quotes on her page all the time..

Everything is so serious.

Now I can't TELL you how much I'm looking forward to having my daughter grow up and experiencing this.

Too late, I've already judged you (but it was really more about those "private" photos I shot through your bathroom window). And, I would never suggest anything illegal, but....I don't think Mexico communicates with the medicaid people??

Sorry for the bad day, TPG. :ohmy:

Question, and maybe somebody more informed can answer whether it's even legal -- but what if you found a doctor that you like who you could convince to take a Medicare payment and then pay the difference...? Or would that be unethical on the doctor's part and illegal? I mean, if you were willing and able to be self-pay, it would mean less money out of pocket for you and he would get his full fee.

Then again, I would guess that a doctor who takes Medicare has to have some sort of account set up... so I guess I'm just pullin' stuff outta my ass. :blushing:

      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.
