Sheesh.. nothing like feeling left out!!! But then again, it took me hours and hours to get there, by which time I had missed all the festivities.

Just back from Bell Choir and finished a cup of creamy wild rice Soup with corn and smoked sausage. I'm off to singing rehearsal now. BBL.........

Suzie, didn't have time to check this afternoon about that Sunday, but if all is clear with that it is a go. Are you sure you can't go Tracy? Anyone else?

Glad your back safely Kat!!

Judy, I wouldn't wear nail polish right now, just keep putting it on at night, and then once a week or so take it off and start again. Just a light coat. Those little bottles were cute, if you like it the reg. size bottle is $9 my cost so it would probably be $15 to $20 yours, do you have Sallys? I can see what they have comparable and you can buy it there cheaper.

I want to go to Alabama right now!!!

You all crack me up! I remember TracyKS and I completely tanked in the pool! I was staring into her eyes which were pretty green and hella red and we were laughing. And I loved the hot tub...and the cat calls of everyone walking in! Hell, Laura and I got kicked out of the bar (what was that for again?) And having SOOOO much fun at the bar on Sat...we did some serious dishing at the pool tables! And last but certainly not least...the 2am fast food mission and strange tits ending up on Jane's cell phone...NOW THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY!

We had a busy day and went to the Veterans Parade then out to dinner w/ friends (Melissa, Jackie and Stef). It was really a fun day, but so busy...I need another day off, lol!

xoxooxxooxxoxoxo

I love my Violets too!

I missed all of you too....maybe not so much the rest of LBT, I come home to a shitty message tonight from someone, about a post I had left long back, telling me I am insensitive and crap......I seriously wanted to unload on the poster! The comment I originally left, was in a success stories thread, and someone come in complaining that their band was not a success. I replied that some of the issues the poster had were not band related, etc. Then a mod moved the thread to the complications forum, and I have caught hell for it already---and now again. They act like I posted to rub in my success----and I was in a success stories forum originally---makes me want to scream at them!!

Jane sorry your cousins court case turned out badly for him. In the long run, it seriously could have been much worse. Such a hard place to be for your family...as well as the one of the man that was killed, I am sure it would be very hard not to be bitter. Your family will remain in my prayers.

Terry, we miss you, hope you perk up soon, and hurry back!! Sadly I am afraid regardless how the election turned out, things might get worse, before anyone can make them better. Jumping in front of the hurtling train is not going to do anything, we are going to have to give them time to get down the track a ways and even then it will take time to turn things around, and I pray something can and will be done......these are some scary times.

I think of our TX trip soooooo often!!! I laugh at how the Water level changed when we mass exited the hot tub!! LOL What a shock we must have been to the quiet little group of homes we stayed in! I cannot believe how much fun we had! Ready for more, I can tell you that without a doubt!!!!

Rick is coming down with some crud, he is aching all over, and feeling crummy. Manda is home with it---I know they are going to give it to me---I want an invisible shield to protect me!!!

So tomorrow I am going to seriously begin watching what I eat!! My MIL made some comments to my Aunt, about the "stupid band", how you cannot eat anything without throwing up, and how it is going to ruin my SIL's health. So I was dead set to SHOW my Aunt differently!!! I ate everything! And way too much of it!!! My MIL did not know how to react to me eating like that! Was kinda funny! But now is time to get back to basics. Going to do a low carb week, and really try to get my exercise back to a daily thing. I don't care WHAT kind of exercise....just something EVERY single day! Riding is not doing it, the only one of us getting in shape is my horse!!! So back to walking, and eliptical-ing, and video exercise fun with Kinsey. Might not help much, but it can't hurt!! And as Suzanne always tries to make me do, I need to get my water in, been doing way too much Diet Dr. Pepper.

We were buying gas in TX for $1.87 a gallon, and come home to it being $2.67----we have 2 refineries within 12 miles of us----but apparantly it is cheaper when you truck it hundreds of miles away.....go figure!

Cold and rainy here. Rick and I missed the first snow, we were in TX wearing Tshirts and capris!!! We have this tradition of going outside and kissing in the first falling snow of the season.....missed that, but will do it when we experience our first of the season! Years ago I might have told you why we do it----I don't know anymore!!! We just do, and kissing is a good thing, so I don't question it!! LOL

Well off to reply to some less pissy threads----that one just happened to be my first to open, lovely that it was......grrrrr!!! LOL Oh well, thank heavens I have my Violets!

TracyinKS - I SO wish you would have called me. I thought about calling you a million times yesterday sista, I really did. So you ate PB Cookies, got tipsy and watched the biggest loser? LMFAO! I know it isn't funny but hopefully this morning you can look back and see the humor in it. We have to laugh at ourselves sometimes otherwise we would just cry, right?!((((hugs)))) Call anytime.

Good morning violets-I think we have a little more rain scheduled for today but it will be clearing up. YEAH! Still at 206 this morning. Story of my life but like I said, I am not gaining! I would have gained 20 more pounds by now if I had not reigned myself back in :lol:. I wish there was a pat myself on the back icon.:thumbup:

I will come back later and do personals....gotta get macy ready for school. bbl (make healthy choices everyone)

Good Morning, Violets..

I'm so pissed at myself this morning. My weight is back up to 181 and it's my own fault. My head hunger is getting the best of me and the easiest way to stop it is with crackers or chocolate milk. I'm sick and tired of hovering around the same numbers on the scale. I wrote in my journal that today is day one and I have to prove to myself that I can do it again.

So I'm off to get a legal and healthy Breakfast and then head to flute rehearsal. I have vowed to myself that I will be at goal when my new grandbaby arrives. Today is DAY ONE.

Everyone have a great day and remember to make good choices... ARE YOU LISTENING, TEACHLADY????????? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

      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. 💗

      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!
