Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

Do you girls want me to make you one without your pic on it? (Although in MY opinion, you both look great and are being silly!!)

Claritin wore off some time tonight, I feel like CRAP!! Goin to bed while DH does some chores around here for a change.

I am up 3lbs for this week. I am not changin my ticker, but I am upset. TOM maybe? Snacks? I normally don't let TOM happen but I have to do this med thing, so maybe HOPEFULLY that is why? :drool:

I'm worried about Haydee too----she was stressed over a fight with Juan, and then nothing....Haydee we love ya---hope all is well. She has 2 days---and I am calling her!

Terry I think you take a beautiful picture!!

Suzanne-- I have seen my Dr. many times even though I have only had the 2 fills. He would actually like to see me more restricted---he thinks I would find life easier. I disagree, so he just laughs at me! He looks at me, asks me how I am doing, if I am having this problem or that....then goes off asking about my DH!! He too had heart valve surgery, so he relates to my DH!!

He just asks me if we are filling---I say no, he says ok!!! He is pretty supportive of my choice. I honestly get the feeling he would like to say to me "You could be at goal if you would do this my way!!" but he has never said it!!!

Rick actually had a class tonight, I had forgotten about!!! So I went to dinner with Manda and Kinsey. Ryan is in WY, and Lindzie went out with Ryan's Dad and step Mom. Kinsey wanted to go so bad....they never include her, so we decided to go out. Kinsey and I shared a Childrens Taco plate at the local mexican restaurant. Then took her to get an ice cream cone---and got nothing! I OD'd on ice cream the other night---did not even want any!!!

Well I am going to go shower and hit the hay! Rick is off the next 4 days, so I will be hit or miss. See the dentist again tomorrow, to try to readjust the fit slowly as the swelling goes down in my mouth.

Then we have a list of "son do's" to deal with at his folks.....so I will go help and be the DIL bitch who says we are leaving, when I have had enough!!!!

Talk to you ladies in the morning!

I am not a very good moderator. Since I took on the job, I've only answered some unanswered posts. I have not ventured into R and R or anywhere else. I'll kick it up in summer! I'll be a wonder moderator!

Which 2? PM me so you won't ruin it for Jane. I do not wanna know who actually won it, but who are the 2 it was down to? PS, I was disgusted that James came back. I wanted it t be Alex. Oh well, it will be interesting for sure!

Good morning violets. It is still March, right? Just checking. I have reread some of my recent posts and I am putting wrong words in the sentences and I am like, wtf?! I really am losing it! It is all good though. I have decided (so far) that my quit smoking day is Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I need to get up and get moving. Have a great day everyone!!

Have the flying monkies been sent out to find Haydee yet?

Good Morn, Vi's~~

Thanks for all the kind words on my b&a's, everyone. Seeing it like that is so powerful for me! Wow.

Laura... you crack me up! You said, "I am up 3lbs for this week. I am not changin my ticker, but I am upset. TOM maybe? Snacks?" -- please refer to yesterday's "lunch" pic for a possible answer to this query. Let's see a pic of a nice healthy salad today, K?? (oh, and it has to be YOUR salad -- hahaha -- no taking pics of other people's lunches!!) :drool:

Not much to report... a regular day today... housework, laundry, editing (yay, work!)... make it a great one, Vi's!

Good Morning and Thank You all for replying.

Judy I'm still crying after reading your post. I think that is my biggest saddest regret. That my Parents aren't alive to see this. However I do feel in my heart that they ae extremely proud of me. I feelthat they somehow had a hand in my finding Dr. Malley.

I too also have a very wonderful Doctor. I just think that I'm alot hader on myself than I need to be. I keep looking forward and still see a mountain in front of me and it's hard to keep the momentum going. I see all these people that have made it and I'm just sad that I'm not there. My day will come and I know that, it's just hard.

Thank You, Thank You for all hanging in there with me. Hugs.:grouphug:

Now, I have a secret to tell you. Shhhh, We got our tax refund and it's huge. So this weekend we are going to the pool store and ordering our pool. Finally. Oh No. me in a bathing suit??? Not pretty but it's my backyard and if the neighbors don't like it they need to quit looking.

Good Morning, Violets..

Ethan has been here since 8 and I'm just getting on the puter. He's into EVERYTHING. I'm teaching him sign language and he's been signing EAT every 10 minutes or so!! He knows EAT, ORANGE, GOOD, GRANDMA, GRANDPA, and ICE CREAM so far. He's not talking yet except for a few words so this is helping him get his wants across to me.

Suzie!! congrats on the refund and getting a pool. I LOVE mine. It was what I got as a retirement gift to myself. Between that and the hot tub I'm Water logged pretty much all year. And yes, I have been known to swim nekkid.. but the suit comes off only after I'm down deep in the pool. lol e have lots more privacy with the hot tub but I won't mention any details about that. :grouphug::lol:

Pamela.. you KNOW you can't come in here with a statement about a surprise and not have us dying to know! Give us a hint.

Glad Haydee is ok. Now how about Jennifur???

The secret has to do w/ my Violet sistahs moving the trip from April to May due to State Testing...and me promising a surprise for them. It is small and not expensive...but it is our color. I just got excited because I just figured out what I wanted to do...and then made a great connection last night! Were your ears burning??? I was talkin about ya'll!

Michelle, too funny!!!

Pam and Tracy, you won't ever spoil anything for me. I am a month behind in the soap operas and people tell me all the time what is happening now, actually I kind of like knowing, because when I see something that looks like a different ending I just know it is soapafied.

Judy, my neice is autistic and was adopted from another country at 14 months, they taught her some basic sign language when she came over, it must have been her adoptive status though because they didn't know about the autism. You knew what she wanted, I wonder why they catch on to that faster than oral words?

Haydee I am glad you are okay!!

I too am in a secret mission for our trip!!!

Terry and Pam why does one of you say 'super' and the other say 'forum'? And while I am being really stupid, what is r and r?

Have a good day!!

      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. 💜
