Forgot to post yesterday



11. Made myself a cauliflower grilled cheese (Grilled cheese Sandwich with Cauliflower Bread). I can only eat half so the other half was dinner tonight.



12. Did my plank and lunges. Watched Bugsy Malone.


*ears perk up*. Cauliflower bread? ?? Do you buy or make ? I’m so slow to learn some of this stuff

  • Today is a new day.


  • I'm over my meltdown from yesterday.


  • I'm already making a plan for Easter dinner. My sister is hosting, so I have her menu of what I will eat.


  • Up early this morning, doing some strength training and aerobics.


  • #13- will be outside most of the day. Going on a 3 mile walk this morning. Then later in the afternoon another walk to just enjoy the day.

# I am going for a walk, whether Tomkitten ants to come along or not, and I am going to use my walker, the one he threatened to hide. He says your cane or nothing, calls using a walker "regressing" Well it should be my choice, my degree of confidence in my stability. I know he deeply loves me, but at times he acts like he wishes I was meek, subservient and a DoorMat his father wiped his feet on. But I have gotten emotionally stronger, put myself under New Management, my own, and I am so much better for it! He is still peeved I wanted to do all the dishes, clean the kitchen yesterday night, albeit with one hand since my right hand/arm still painful from April 4th surgery. Had hoped he would comprehend the mess was not good and pitch in and do it all for me. He stated I don't like doing dishes, well I don't either but I also don't care to grow my own penicillin out there. So got most,of them done last night, now to gird my loins and face the rest. Ycch! Told him we are going start on disposable tableware if he don't join me there, tired of cooking with no cleaning up! And there won't be any more Pyrex baking dishes used without his help. I cannot balance hot items on my hip and use one hand. Maybe I am in a picky, crabby mood today, I am after all human, smaller daily, the complete bottom line? I WEIGH LESS THAN HIM- HE DOES NOT LIKE IT told him I will not abort my losongs for his EGO. He has a BMI of 38,9, mine now(drumroll please) 35.7 if he is going to continue sniping better start on his own WLS journey, talk to PCP or my surgeon's about a sleeve, and stop throwing snowballs at MY PARADE, I have struggled hard to gain this loss!

Going from a drab grey to a lovely green.
Can’t post pics now because it’s really overcast today and the ceiling fan has been taken down and the lighting is horrible.
Hopefully by Monday I can post a progress pic

Did the squats and crunches. Taking today off from the gym. I went 5/7 days this week.

Went for a walk and ran into a neighbor who complimented me on my weight loss, so a good day so far.

Well, I did just come in from doing a tour of my yard looking for signs of growth. Other than that, outside has simply been the journey between my car and the gym, the market, the office, the groomers, and home. It was raining like the dickens this morning...I do have outside plans for tomorrow which may go along with that decluttering objective. We shall see. Yes, crunches and squats completed. :)

#13 Get Outside:

It was a beeeeautiful day today and me and the Kid went to watch Mr. play some tennis, then the Kid and Mr. played some tennis, and afterwards we (and by "we", I mean "they") got some funnel cake. Aside: I suck at tennis. Plus, I was wearing inappropriate shoes (heeled booties, lol).

Will head out again later tonite (on my own this time, sans the heels) for my daily walk around the neighbourhood.

Too bad tomorrow is not going to be nearly as nice.

I make it. Here is the link to the recipe https://www.theironyou.com/2014/05/cauliflower-crust-grilled-cheese.html?m=1.

I use low-fat cheese and I use coconut cooking spray instead of butter for the grilled cheese part. I can only eat half a grilled cheese but you can easily reheat this so I end up getting 4 meals out of this.

      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..

    • 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. 💗

        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!
