Oh SNTired that is an excellent idea. Of course I read it right after I swallowed.

Damn that is too funny to even delete. It is 2 hours past my bedtime. I am tired.

Has there been any greater development in the English language than the phrase of "WTF"? I mean really, it speaks for everything, every emotion, every mood. I love it. It is one of my favorite phrases.

I know. My wife got me a teeshirt that says "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot". I love it!

random post - got a job offer today and wasn't looking to work... :biggrin: i swore when i left my last job in high tech sales i'd never go back...but the money is just too good and i can work as little or as much as i want. DH of course is all over it - because he likes his toys; me i'm still in my selfish - all about me faze - that i'm going to do it...BUT not get suckered into a long term gig. need to go dig out my heels & work clothes; at least i can now fit back into them...UGH

Congrats (I think?). It sounds as if you'll have a lot of flexibility so that's a good thing.

Fanny - love the pics. The one where he's sitting in the tub is just precious.

Sick - where ya been? Glouc's been back for weeks.

PJTP - My de-fill booked for tomorrow can't come soon enough... 2 cups of Water is all that I've been able to swallow today...and my day started at 4am. WTF happened???

That is the worst feeling, I am glad you are getting it taken care of it. Being overfilled is nothing to mess around with.

Congratulations.

Susan: Thanks. And sorry. But thanks.

I finally found the ignore feature and put it on there. :frown:

Seriously, could you imagine being married to that guy? :crying:

I love the koala pictures. I believe they have got to be the cutest animals on the face of the earth. Wouldn't it be awesome to have one as a pet. I know, I know, I can't, but a girl can dream.

He wouldn't last long at my place. :crying:

I'd sew him into the sheets with one of those little hand-held sewing machines and then beat him with a baseball bat. :frown:

Sweet relief!!!!!!!!!!!

A de-fill is a wonderous thing...although more was taken out than i had wanted, so now I'll probably gain back some weight. However, being able to swallow is a grand feeling!

'Nuther bad day.

The boss who hollered at me yesterday called me into her office first thing when I got in this morning. I said good, I was planning on talking with her anyway.

She was mad that I left yesterday, and she was mad that she was given this file to do something with that she said she didn't have time for. I said I was TOLD to give it to her by the bigger boss, and secondly, I don't make it a point to "just leave" work.

She said I was unprofessional for doing so, and I stopped her mid-sentence and asked just how unprofessional was it for her, a much higher up than me, to be standing outside my cubicle yelling at me?? She claimed she didn't yell; I claimed I had at least one witness who came by afterward with eyes as big as saucers.

This went back and forth for at least 10 minutes. I said finally, "This will NEVER happen again. You will NEVER talk to me in that manner EVER. I don't get paid enough to put up with abuse like that over something that was essentially nothing." She kept disputing whether it was "yelling" or "raising her voice." Cuz I'd "know" it if she was yelling. Whatever.

She said if it happens again, I will be docked LWOP. I said I don't anticipate this (meaning her yelling again) to happen again, but if it does, I will take it up with HR.

I said she has gone from being the "nice one" to being a bully who makes it a habit of yelling at people in the office and clientele that comes in. Of course she denied this too. I said I didn't even know who she was anymore, that she is not the same person. She said other actions/behaviors have nothing to do with what we're talking about. I said it has EVERYthing to do with what we're talking about when she's making it a habit of being abusive to staff.

I reminded her that professionalism starts at the top; and just because she has the high position, etc., does not mean that she is a respectful individual.

Anyway, the new boss comes back from training tomorrow, and the big boss is out of town until the 23rd, I think. Of course she already knows about this since this boss called her -- but of course she only told her side which, I am sure, did NOT include her yelling at me. I'm expecting the one coming back tomorrow to start it up again with me, but I'm really not in a mood to include somebody that wasn't even there.

The good thing is, the one witness I have is very respected by the big boss who is out of town and once he tells her what he heard, I think there will be a whole new spin on things.

      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'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!

    • 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!
