Good Morning, Violets..

Just looked at my phone and I had a message from Tracyk. She's asking us for prayers as she has been vomiting all night and is headed to the doctor. I pray she is alright and has not damaged the band.

It's cold and snowing here. We are putting the lights on the front tree and will be done with decorating today, I hope. I slept in til 8:30 this morning and the Bobster is still sleeping, but I think he was up at 4 a.m. for awhile so I won't wake him now.

Going to get some Breakfast. Everyone have a good day and keep TracyK in your prayers.

(((Tracy)))

I have had this rash come & go on my hands since about 2 months preg.. It was so miserable last night. It flares up for a day and it's gone the next, then comes back another day, etc. Last night my hands were burning so bad like they were in an ant bed.. and I couldn't find any relief (healing lotion, benadryl cream, aloe vera).

Anyone seen anything like this or have ideas? I have no known allergies, and it is occurring on both hands (besides the cheap metal, but that's not a diagnosed allergy and I don't have any cheap metals on my hands)

Laura, it looks like excema (sp) to me. Call your Dr. though and see what they say, if it is excema it clears up pretty fast with appropriate medicine (cream).

Have a good one!! By the way when is your ultrasound??

My docs keep kind of glazing over it. It feels a lot worse than it looks, so they are more concerned about the ringworm on my back (which is not a concern to me since I don't feel it!!)

Find out if it's a boy or girl on Dec. 11th!

Good morning...........

OK, so Robby started meds yesterday and the nurse ended up calling me to come get him.... LUCKILY it was a temp from the flu shot that was wrong. He was mellow but still "Robby" and boy howdy I could tell when they wore off around 4:30p because he was bouncing off the walls from excitement over wrestling practice.. he was extremely hyper.. so it was a good thing he ran laps and did all kinds of work out stuff.

2nd thing was my mammo.......... short version: Normal

but not after some tense moments..... they made me wait for the radiologist to look at it and then he wanted MORE..... apparently I have a spot in my left breast that he deemed dense tissue that was overlapping itself.

Thanks for all the prayers.

scale 184 today

Good afternoon, Violets...

Well, the tree outside has over a thousand lights on it. It was touch and go trying to get everything lit at once, but it's DONE! We have 8 minature pine trees with lights and two lighted deer, plus the lighted garland on the porch and lights around the roof line of the house. We have never put so many out before, but we bought a ton at half price at the end of the season last year. I still have a closet full of lights, but they'll be good back ups.

Laura.. I don't know what the rash is. Why are your docs not treating it??? Is it a symptom of the ringworm?

TracyinKS.. whew on the NORMAL mammagram!!! And looks like the meds will be helpful to Robby once they are regulated properly. Things are looking up for you! Excellent!!

Chili is ready for lunch and then off to my flute rehearsal and gig and then choir and dinner afterwards. Will check back later tonight. Everyone have a good day.

Hope TracyK can check in...

My docs are more concerned about the ringworm, they kind of breeze over my hand issue. My obgyn said to put hydrocortizone on it.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TRACY!!!!!!!!!!

Today is gonna be all kinds of good news, I can tell. Go ahead, everyone share your good news for today!

I'll go 2nd :)

Russell's family is officially coming down for Thanksgiving!! I am glad now that I never caused a big fight about it, because now I don't look like a bad guy and I got what I want. I say officially, there's a small chance he has to get the stints (you were right Kat, it has to do with putting them in his veins to increase circulation) before Thanksgiving, but I am hopeful that nothing will ruin this, and the planets will align that he has the surgery after Thanksgiving.

Then it turned into, his mom wants to know what to bring. Hmmmmmm. It's such a tradition at our family, everyone makes specific stuff.. like, there's this huge family and even though my parents have a mansion, we Celebrate Thanksgiving at my granny's house.. a small 2 bedroom house from the 50's..and we sit on piano benches, couches, and stools at folding tables in the living room.. but it's tradition, so no one minds! Along with that, granny makes the turkey (an old fashioned way where the turkey is always dry, but she won't listen to all the new ways to cook it so that it stays moist!!) and her stuffing, etc.. Russell wants his mom to bring her stuffing, which is a different kind of stuffing. But I think you all can see how that would be an issue, 2 stuffings for 1 Thanksgiving! Dun dun dun. So that's the drama I'm avoiding right now.. Still excited about them coming down!!!

And Russ' bro who is 23 just told him he's engaged to this 39 year old with 3 kids he's been seeing.. FUN. I've heard about her, no job,3 baby daddy's and one has tried to beat up russ' bro.

I really really really hope all the major stress is behind me

Suzie: No we really can't go.. we've got all the boys for the next two weekends (including 4 days of Thanksgiving) Thanks for the offer though!

I hope everyone has a great afternoon.

Kat: How are you feeling these days?

      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. 💜
