I hate it when people post just to post.....



Recommended Posts

I am posting just to say my life is really bad right now. I just need to vent. I don't want to talk to anyone I just want to scream.

You know when something that is about to happen is right but it feels wrong and hurts like hell. Ya that. I don't want to be the one who got dumped. :thumbdown:

(((((((((((BRANDY))))))))))

Scream away sister.

He fucking left without even telling his kids goodbye. My 9 year old won't even come near me after she told me she feels dead inside. No matter what anyone says I can not fucking do this. I can't. There is no way for me to do this.

Nothing I say will make the pain go away. I just want you to know you're in my thoughts.. you and your children.

Brandy, girl, I went through that in 1999 with my ex. I feel your pain and know how difficult it is. Is there a nearby friend or family member that can come over so you are not alone right now?

very sorry - can't imagine how to deal w/little ones in that scenario....but your a fighter - period. you can't come to this board, like you have & shown guts / glory & bad w/out this just one more hurdle to combat.

it's probably what you may not want to hear - but on a legal front, get your affairs in order & fast. and if you want a hiding break from the world, TX isn't that far....you can have a crash pad here!!!

BBK,

I'm so sorry for your pain and I know that nothing we say can ease the way you are feeling now. I can understand cause I too have worn your shoes many years ago. I didn't think that I deserved to see another tomorrow. I had friends to stick by me and they prayed for me constantly. I kept saying to myself, "today WILL be better than yesterday and tomorrow WILL be better than today".

Brandy, this too shall pass.

<<<<<<Hugs>>>>>>>

I second what Lulac said. You're a hard ass. You'll land feet down. You absolutely can do this, no matter how hard.

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. You WILL make it through this, and one day you'll forget how hard it was. Maybe not anytime soon, but someday.

You are a hardass and a great person. I'm sorry about your 9 year old, and without seeming invasive, I would recommend getting her into counseling asap... like tomorrow.. she needs to vent to a 3rd party and not internalize it.

I know this is something stupid to be upset about but my 3 legged hamster died. I am actually upset and want to cry. I feel like a baby.

FF is right, everything you are feeling, your DD is feeling a form of as well.

It is much easier to be mad, than it is to be sad for kids (and men oftentimes!!), so her anger is her way of coping---she too is having the "I can't do this" panic! She needs a way to let it out, and if yelling at you or whoever is how she lets it out, so be it.

Back years ago, when my DD was doing the mad not sad routine and we saw a councelor---she told me that the anger was a controlled feeling, sad was not, to voice the things she is sad about means they might come true. And she can say and think all the bad things she wants to about you and to you, because in the deepest recesses of her heart she knows you will love her anyway.

He recommended that I let her overhear me talking on the phone for instance, saying the things I needed her to hear, without having to say them to her. So even if I was to fake a call---I had a friend in on it, but he said for me to explain to the freind how we were going to make the next move in our lives, and to tell the friend how worried I was about my DD, that this is so unfair to her....side with her, without making her involved.

I don't know if that makes any sense----but it almost instantly made her seemed relieved. We survived it, you will too. It sucks more than I can say, when you are going through it.

The advice to get your affairs in order is spot on! Get a notebook and make detailed entries, if you use the computer back up with hard copy. If it is something you NEED to have proof of a date on, make a copy and mail it to yourself, when it shows up do not open, the postmark is admissible evidence of date.

If he so much as sneezes when visiting the kids, or if he calls listen in....document every little thing!

And without dragging your kids into it....take a little of their tactic to get through it.....don't just be sad.....get mad! You deserve to be treated fairly through any split, and fight for what you and your children deserve.

If you have any sort of proof of past affairs, drag it out!

Look out for your kids first, then yourself, let him worry about his life.

Be aware that he or someone associated with him, might very well be here spying on you, so handle yourself with dignity, and do not give him any sort of ammunition to use against you. When the need to really blast him with a mile long list of names etc. hits----PM any of us, all of us.....just don't do it in a public forum....there can be eyes and ears everywhere!!

Take care, and hang strong.........you know you are a fighter!

Brandy, Kat gave you great advise.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish there was something that I could say that would help, but I know there is not. Just know that we are all here for you, whatever you need.

I am probably going to get fired tomorrow. I have decided to confront the boss on how she thinks this little druggie can do no wrong. She needs to know the truth about this person, whether it costs me my job or not.

Froggi--I am so sorry hun. It always sucks when pets die.

Thanks everyone for your support. It was a hard night. He ended up coming back and sleeping in my bed. WTF? I am sure by no means is this over. But all I can do is take care of my kids right now. I have no energy for him. I agree with Kat and I am not going to be posting publically anymore about it. Anyone who wants to can pm me.

I love you all, sucks so many have been here before. :thumbup:

      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!
