@FluffyChix keep posting, please. I am just super busy and suffering mega anxiety lately. And super low energy.

<begin rant> Also eating like crap, so I can't contribute anything but cheerleading right now. Not gaining just not losing, and said f*#k it once again. I have to have laser eye surgery the 12th for a vitreous hemorrage again....(the relative is still doing coke and behaving so badly it is making me batchit crazy.) We are demo-ing a house for my son, adding 2nd story addition, yada yada yada....this is not everyday stress, but extreme stress reacting. I would get therapy but my insurance sucks, my bariatric doc is not 'in plan' on this insurance, so I have to pay all that out of pocket plus high deductible, high copay for everything regardless - the baaastads get over a thou a month in premiums and it's just for one person. I know I sound like a whiney lil ******!!! <end rant>

OMG! ((hugs)) Your life is batshit stressful right now!!!!! ((hugs)) I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all better!!! :( You know, sometimes maintaining is the better part of valor!! I totally get stress eating. I do that too sadly. The worst stress I've ever had (even worse than caring for dying parents) was when we had to remodel the house prior to Mr. F. selling it. Holy crap!! I had been doing so well on my diet that year and it all went out the window. I ate a bag of Lay's a day. A bag a day. I kid you not. And I will not tell you how many BAVs I had daily (big ass vodkas). So I can relate and empathize with that portion of your angst!!!

So there are holistic counselors through churches that work on sliding scale. I used to pay $10/session. Especially Catholic churches have them. Could you look into that maybe? Also, could you do meditation on The YouTube? Or take up YT Tai Chi or Yoga? Anything in order to help you check out and destress. Your cortisol is probably going cray right now!!!! So sorry about the continued coke prob. *sigh* Gosh I hate drugs and the toll they take on people and families. :(

Wish we lived closer so I could do something practical to help! Hang in there girl and come vent/rant/destress here a LOT. ((hugs))

I make it kind of like hot cocoa, when in a hurry, otherwise I mix it with golden milk, or into an iced drink

Post labs Breakfast lol did get a quick weight here at the hospital (but can't trust it because it's a dry fasting weight) 159. But it's the general range of 160 so I'm good. I think 160 is my set point and I will have to work to move past it. I'm *lazy* so the only work I'm will to do is IF and walking. Lol. I'm not really lazy but I can't gym as much as I hoped. It causes more issues than good often so it sets me back health wise. This is a bummer because I locked myself into a contract. Sigh. I really hoped instantly the more weight I lost my health issue would resolve but it didn't. This isn't a weightloss deterrent for me. It simply means I have to focus less on this for a while. So I will effortlessly slip into maintenance soon with IF as a lifestyle. Now i have to focus on some other things...That's the plan.

I've been fasting too, just busy trying sort out other stuff but the fasting is going strong. I thing I did a couple 22-24hr wet fasts (including my horrible date) weight is dropping in I can see and feel it. Still not weighing lol, I'm a rebel. I did purchase some pysillum husk powder today at my local health food store. I need added Fiber and because i don't always eat the ryvita crispbread. Here's a salad and a selfie lol

Starting a mandated fast for blood work tonight. Yay. 😎 Was doing it anyway.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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!

      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. 💜
