You need a travel buddy! I've never been with anyone who likes to travel like I do. Some of my ex's I would have murdered if we had been on a long trip together, or at least stranded them in a foreign country. Now when I date someone and they're like "Oh, I want to do some traveling, we can do it together" I'm like "Sorry my dance card is full until I get more vacation time AND you prove that you won't annoy the f out of me!" :P

I have traveled with my sister a few times, but if we have too good a time, hubby gets jealous-even though he didn't want to go!

I broke up with a guy because he made me lose my mind in airports. I am an airport ninja, and he dithered - couldn't find his passport, couldn't decide how to get to the airport, got to the airport late, meandered around duty free.. Vibrating with rage turned out not to be a good start to a vacation, but it was an excellent warning for what a future life together might've been like.

I also ditch coworkers in airports, especially my boss. Airports are my zen place, and I will LIE to take a different flight than him. If I have to take the same flight, I ensure I am out of his sight for as long as humanly possible (which just means he texts me frantically for the 45 minutes leading up to boarding, but still).

The ONLY people I'm willing to fly with are my children. They are Airport Rockstars since infancy, honestly they are they only people I'm willing to travel with. Either them or Solo... I've tried traveling with guys... I wanted to cry, publicly.

So finally had a chance to weigh myself again. Ummm ok, I guess.
I'll attribute it to IF, throwing Matcha on everything, and not eating as much as I think I do (I think I eat a ton, In reality I don't and people notice [emoji29])
I'm not playing your little game scale. up&down ,+/- ,10lbs range...
tomorrow I'll be 165... Whatever

What's a word for jealousy times infinity? Iceland, wow! We've already talked about Cambodia. Tried to talk Hubby into Egypt, he said no way, same answer for Thailand [emoji24]
Mine has no adventure in him anymore. We honeymooned in Israel & Palestine but that was 20 years ago!

I'm generally unflappable. In all my travels there has only been two times I've been seriously frazzled.

Once in Vietnam when we were stranded on the wrong side of town from our hotel at night due to flooding, and then the power went out in the entire town.

The other time was as a car passenger in Ireland. Adventure TB was the driver, and she thought it was going swimmingly, while I was so tense I was getting a core workout while sitting in the passenger seat. Why are there stone walls on the sides of the road? Why are they disguised by friendly looking bushes? Why are the lanes just barely wide enough for a car, when tractors, which are wider, drive on them? Why are there so many twist that every single corner is blind and there is no safe place to pass said tractor? And then there are the sheep, and the bicyclist, and old people walking, all in the road, inevitably around a blind corner. I actually broke out in hives from the stress :blush:. It took us a few days to figure out what I was allergic to. I'd be fine in the morning, then broken out by evening. Apparently I was allergic to Irish driving! :lol:

I'm actually going to Egypt this trip.

I actually know this one. In most cases, those stones were cleared off that land to allow farming. It's much cheaper to pen your livestock or enclose your crops with the raw material at hand than purchase something else. (Grandparents from the "old country")

Baaaaaahahaha you described Irish country driving to a T! Those narrow roads (called boreens) are apparently the width of a cow and a half coz that's all the farmers needed to move their cattle before the car was invented.
AFAIK, the reason the roads have walls and hedgerows along them is that they are historic borders of land plots and owners were required to show their boundaries by digging a ditch and putting a mound of dirt alongside. Over time they became roads because that's how people used to navigate by walking along the ditches. Hedgerows are very effective windstops and the walls were projects from the last century or so as a way of providing employment.

What this means is, unless you're a local and you know the roads well, you have to drive pretty slowly round bends and if you are behind a tractor you just enjoy the scenery coz they hardly ever pull over for you and there's no way to pass them out.

Enjoy Egypt! I have a few Gypo friends and they are the best. Plus you must try mahshi if you get a chance, it's SooooooooOOOo delish!

Oooh my hubs told me that the stone walls were unemployment projects, but maybe he's talking about the relatively neat, tall ones that go around big landed properties here in Tipp, coz a quick Google tells me you're right especially with the old walls in the West.

      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. 💜
