I tried to make a new ticker because I am trying the 10% thing, but it is not working to put it on here. Is this something somebody can do for me? I am obviously not computer friendly enough. I think my text should be purple though! I think I changed that, guess I will see in a minute!!

Have a good one!!

Looks like I need to go spend the day with Jane and give her a crash course on computer stuff. LOL

Up and getting ready to start my long day.

I go into work, leave there and go pick Sis up and take her to a Doc appointment. Than take her to the store. Take her home and than I leave to go to KS to my Doc visit. No fill for me today, just need to quit putting things into the abyss. Than over to my friend that lives a few miles from the Doc's office. I'll get home around 7pm tonight.

Eveyone have a great day and I'll talk to you later.

Be Good.

Good Morning, Violets..

I'm up waiting for Ethan to arrive. We have snow on the ground that isn't leaving anytime soon. Some parts of Michigan are supposed to get up to a foot of snow today. Thank goodness, we are not one of them! But Ethan and I will have fun outside today.

Hope PamELa has figured out her computer problems and can get on here today. I'm not that good at texting and it takes me forever to get one typed and sent!

I'm taking my friend to her radiation treatment today and then I have nothing in the works til rehearsal this evening at 7.

I'm going to go fix an egg for Breakfast and wait for Ethan. Will check back later...

Well shoot.. why do they offer that kind of stuff if it doesn't work????? Guess I'll just keep punching in color and size of font each time I post. It HAS to be purple and it HAS to be BIG enough for PamELa's little eyeballs to see.

Hey V's~

Man, I am glad I found you. I thought you all received Judy's cryptic message and I was left out! LOL, I don't know what the prob was...could not get on since yesterday morning! I texted Judy and TracyK in a panic (haha)

Yesterday, I slept until we went to Susanne's game! They won 10-4...still undefeated! Then we went to Chinese w/ Jackie and Melissa (the brides). I did great, only ate 1 of the Moo Shu Pork thingys...they give you 4! So I have one 1/2 for lunch and dinner.

Susanne is going to Phoenix for the week! She is gonna visit w/ her mom which is good. I will miss her, but I am really glad she can enjoy this time now.

Jane~ The cut is $60, the color is $80, I bought a Bumble and Bumble product (the entire store is Bumble and Bumble), and that = 168! Plus I paid a $20 tip. It is an upscale salon in downtown Palm Springs. So, the price is part of the location as well. But, I look fabulous!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Love you...and am glad I found you again!

We're in this together.. I have been stuck at 178-181 for almost a year. Now THAT's the pitts! I am fine on eating the good food. Can only manage a few bites and I'm full or it's stuck. It's the crap that goes down so easily that I have struggles with. I am a junk food/sugar addict. I can't imagine what my weight would be if I wasn't exercising every day. But it's not the band's fault!!!

For breakfast I had 1 egg with 1 slice cheese and 2 peach slivers. It's sitting there in my throat and going down very slowly. DS Joe doesn't have any work yet today so Ethan isn't here. Hopefully I can get some more clothes bagged up before he comes (if he comes). I need to figure out where the Christmas tree is going this year too. We got a new second couch this year and that takes up the room where the tree usually is. hmmmmmm conundrums, conundrums...

Morning girls!

What a busy weekend it turned out to be! No matter how empty I tried to keep my schedule I still managed to fill it right back up and not get any rest.

So we went out Friday night and came home pretty late. Well, I ended up waking up super early Saturday. Did some stuff around the house, then my sister called and asked me to meet her for breakfast. Then we went to the mall for awhile, then she wanted me to go grocery shopping with her. Then I came home and crashed and took a loooonnng nap and woke up like at 1:30am. So then I just started piddling around the house. Didn't go to sleep until 5am again.

Woke up around 9am so we could go to breakfast and then to church. Then my mom called and asked if we wanted to go to a BBQ that a friend of hers was having. Fine, so we went to the store so I could buy stuff to make a brocoli salad. I don't like arriving empty handed... Then my sister called and said that one of her friends got sick and couldn't go to the MADONNA concert and would I like her ticket. HECK YEAH! So we went to the BBQ for awhile then I ran home to throw on something decent to wear and we take off...

SHE STARTED TWO HOURS LATE. OMG, we sat there and sat there. She finally started, it was an awesome concert. Ended at 11:30 and finally made it home around 1:30am. Was worth it though!

My diabetic dog has been whining for Water at odd hours of the night. I need to go get her glucose level monitored again. We might have to increase her insulin level.

off to get my coffeeeeeee....

      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. 💜

      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!

        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. 😍

      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. 💜
