I keep thinking of things to post. Get this - someone in a parking lot where I pay to f'n park hit my front bumper today. How wrong is that!?! So tomorrow will be looking at others' cars to see if I can find the culprit. RUDE!

Have you all heard that Atlanta is out of gas? Fun, huh? I have a quarter tank so hopefully I can make it through the week!

I'm not an early bird either. And I have to be at the hospital by 6am tomorrow. I hope my SURGEON is a freaking morning person.

I hate to be the "downer" in all this, but I overheard Mac's surgeon saying this:

"Looks like I picked a bad time to give up the pills"

Ok, so maybe that was a quote from Airplane! but I couldn't resist.

BBK - ugh, I feel for ya. I used to get strep all the time as a kid...yuk.

Plain - I'd say we should spank you for being ugly to Momma Mac but you'd prob like it.

Yep, no gas. Very annoying. People have freaked of course and there have been runs at the stations. Did anyone in "command" think that this might happen and perhaps do some kind of rationing? Hell no, that would be too much like right. In 1972-73, we lived in E.Tn and went through rationing then. Can ANY government official be proactive?

As we are seeing with the economic situation - I do believe the answer is HELL to the no!!! Congress updating regulations since the 30's? Nawwwww, that too would be too much like right. *jumping off soapbox* My apologies!!!

Well that would be an understatement...

Sucks about the petrol shortage. I feel the exact same way about government. What the hell are they doing up in congress, besides drawing a cush salary and reaping enviable health insurance? They certainly weren't making sure huge lenders weren't giving out fraudulent morgages...

There are days when I just don't like the human race...

Sometime during last evening/night, a vehicle drove over the sidewalk at the front on my house, and over the pressure treated lumber barrier that separates the sidewalk from my property (I'm on a bit of a slope), breaking the barrier, and then drove onto the lawn. Apparently they/he/she 'gunned it' to make a hasty departure, and gouged a significant hole in the lawn (previous posts would have referred to the seemingly endless rain, therefore ground is still very Water logged). No one came to the door to apologize – grr! The deductible is more than the cost of repair, so of course, I will pay out of pocket to replace the boards, paint them, and just leave the lawn to repair itself – but I am not impressed!

And the morning is the BEST time of day...

BBK - hope your throat improves

Plain - you do like to tease, don't you?

Gas - don't get me started on the oil industry and its connections with governments.

Thankfully DH is able to do almost all renovations in our house - and 60year old bungalows that previous owners did not maintain, nor do basic upgrade to, need a lot of love and attention! Pre-DH, good contractors were well-worth the money; bad contractors were nothing but trouble!

there IS a purpose for donkeys. (DH says) are trying to give them away.

Well, we made (or almost) it through another day. Just posting to be posting.................:girl_hug:

They do give them away free. Take one and save a donkeys life. Ever been to the Black Hills? They are from old miner donkeys that were abandoned and just multiplied. They're tame and cute as they can be.

      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. 💜

      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!
