LOL.....no aliens.....deer were the culprit. Deer ON the patio. We have had issues this year with both deer and raccoons wanting to eat our garden veggies, and my pots full of plants.

What I heard was apparantly a young fawn, jumping up on the table we have next to the BBQ grill, and it is OLD! It is one of the formica topped, chrome edged tables from the 60's. So it is slick, he got up there, then feet went everywhere, and the cupboard we have on there with spices etc in it, got knocked off, and make all kinds of racket!

For the last month, you had to be careful walking off the patio. As they graze the perimeter--where I have things planted....and with deer, what goes in, must come out, so I have deer droppings in a pattern right around the edge of the patio. We cleaned it up....and moved the pots in---they usually avoid the cement, and tile. Not so with young 'uns curiosity.

I love the deer, but they are annoying the hell outta me! They will not find a nice ripe Tomato and eat the entire thing----they find 5 nice ripe tomatoes and take a bit out of each! It is like they have double dipping issues or something, same with the apples, I have them on hind legs out there trying to eat out of the tree as opposed to munching the apples that have fallen from the tree.

Anyway---dealt with the mess on the patio, then I was outside....so spent time playing on the swings with my granddaughter---and next thing I knew DH was home and dinner was done, and time to go to the softball game.....which went into the loss column. But it was a close game, a good game, if our team had settled down and played the first innings as confidently as the last we would have been fine, so hopefully as the season goes on, we will be ok. Last one we got seriously whooped, and no amount of keeping our cool would have helped, there was no one over 25 on the team, and they simply outplayed us, in EVERY sense of the word. PLUS they KNEW it. They allowed us to beat ourselves in scoring, because they would seldom hit---they COULD hit, they just waited to see if they could get a walk out of it. Almost everyone of their hits come on a final strike pitch or a full count. I hate that---it is a game, just PLAY! What fun is going up to bat and standing there until you walk to first base? It is FUN to challenge yourself to connect with the ball and then beat it to base. And personally I have to SERIOUSLY hit if I am gonna make it to base!! But it is fun, and they just were snotty. Oh well, we only have to play them one more time!

Sorry I disappeared after the ominous noise comment!

Heart, sounds to me, like maybe you set your raw throat up for a primary growing ground for another germ. Early on in a band problem, there would be no fever. If it went on long enough for septicemia to be an issue....but in the first hours of a band slip or something there would be no reason for a fever. Sounds like a bug to me. See your Dr.!!!

I am home with my granddaughter again today. Does not hurt my feelings.

Gonna go play Barbies---wwooooo hooooo I know you are ALL Jealous!!!

Kat-glad to know you weren't abducted or otherwise harmed (other than the beat down you got in softball).

I have the same thing...and for a while I couldn't figure out why my few paltry tomatoes were all half-munched...now I know!

I loved playing Barbies.

What kind of internet weirdness is going on?? It is taking LBT forever to load, and sometimes all I get is the 'new' tag in the upper right corner and a blank screen.

Is my employer screwing with my computer? Or have my cooties inflitrated and infected it?

I am getting the same thing Tap. It looks very strange with the flap from the tag dangling (almost like it is breathing) in the corner. Do you think the slow loading is really just to allow us time to notice to the tag? :biggrin:

OK - I've been advised I am presenting at a conference in a few weeks. Not a problem other than it would have been nice to know and plan in advance as it is about 1000 miles away. So, I am hurridly making travel plans and will likely be out of communication for a few weeks as I now will tack on some vacation. So, it is PJTP flurry for a few days, then I will be be off line....back in early October.

Now, off to do the slide deck.............

Construction crew? Men like Mike Holmes - all muscle-y and cute???

Hello! I concur about needing pics!

The worst is the mirrors with black or gold 'marble-ing'..

aYou are so right. Yuk!

Great weight loss achievement! Don't start worrying about other procedures now. Just focus on living the bandster life- which of course is very easy for me to say and next to impossible to do recently!

Concur again, unfortunately.

Have I become the Typhoid Mary of PJTP???

How ARE the eyes doing today?

When the automatic taps and hand dryers work, it's wonderful!

We don't have auto taps yet but we do have auto paper towel dispensers and auto soap dispensers.

Do you suppose I can get some sleep now???

I hope so! I love sleep!!!

Um shouldn't they have told you in enough time to get a good airline deal? Duh! Will you be coming to Atlanta?!? :(

Thank heavens...I thought everyone had disappeared.

Nope, not Atlanta...pity. Going somewhere colder than here - and it is dropping to low 50's tonight.

Eyes are fine - little tired, from staring at the computer screen all day, but otherwise fine. Doubling the does and the frequency of the antibiotic did the job lickety-split.

Guess everyone else is having a fun filled social Friday night.

Wow, that is short notice for such a far away trip. We will miss you. I will especially miss our early morning chats. :(

What?? No posting for 5 hours?? Where did everybody go?

I had to go to a birthday dinner for my mom. She chose a Chinese buffet. I really wasted money by going there. DS made up for it. He ate like a grown man! I have only been home for about 30 minutes. I went straight from work to the mall in order to find the gift my mom asked for. I had just enough time to come home and change out of my work clothes and head back out. It was a really long evening. We spent almost 3 hours at this restaurant. I am sure they wanted us to leave. I am sure I have mentioned that everyone in my family is overweight. I am sure they wanted to charge us double for the amount of food that was consumed by the people at our table. There were about 20 or so of us there. They put away pounds of food. Then one of my aunts made a devils food cake. She brought this out at the end. I couldn't believe how many of them ate cake!!! Then it hit me, this time last year, I would have eaten it too. Well, actualy, this time last year I was on my pre-op diet and refused to go to the restaurant. My mom understood (sort of), but no one else knew what was going on. They thought I was just being mean to my mom.

Guess everyone else is having a fun filled social Friday night.

See the long post above.

      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. 💜

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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!
