Haydee -- Yep, get thee to a doc, dearie!

Judy -- It doesn't really sound like you had much of a summer up there this year... now it's 50s already?? Ai yai yai!

Terry & Tracy -- Yay on the clean eating! Me, too! Well, one day... 1.5 if you count so far today, too!!

Janie -- Be careful or you'll end up doing ALL our hair in June!! But then maybe you could write off the trip as "work"!!

(Happy New Year, btw) & they went to the Y w/me (they played racquetball together -- how sweet!) & peeked in @ me and I think they're STILL laughing at me... stinkers!

Make it a great one, Vi's!

Another good thing about these sinus problems is that I am SO thirsty with this medication that I know I am getting enough water!

So has anyone ever had an anxiety attack? Some kind of something happened to me yesterday around 5pm. I ran to the bathroom as I was leaving my office and when I tried to get off the toilet I got really dizzy all of a sudden. Then I felt this very very bad pain in my chest. Felt like something was squeezing my torso. Could only take short little breaths. Then I was freezing cold but started sweating profusely. I was so scared. Lasted about 5 minutes then all of a sudden the pain just stopped and I was able to take a deep breath. Scared me so bad. When I told a co-worker about it she said it sounded like an anxiety attack. I felt fine after that. I felt fine this morning too. Don't know if I should go to the doctor or not. What do ya'll think?
I've had anxiety attacks but it was many years ago and I don't exactly remember the symptoms. I did enjoy the drugs they gave me for them, though!! :cursing:
Kat & Haydee-still trying the dime/quarter thing with no luck....will keep you all posted on the effort...speaking of which, are people able to get on the internet while in jail? I may need to know this info! LOL
LOL!!!
wow do you get health insurance in jail too?
ROFL!!!!!!!!!
Woot! Guess the new siggy says it all!! C'mon girls -- let's do this thing!!
Ain't no way I can stay off the scale until Nov. 1st.

I'm 2.5 days clean and sober. :thumbdown:

Indeed, anti-anxiety meds are scrumptious. Makes life a lot easier to handle! There's a girl here at work that has them, so during this busy season when one of us is spazzing out, she passes it out.

((Jennifur)) don't stop posting, you won't bring us down, we'll bring YOU UP!!

Oh and did I tell ya'll I had to move offices again? Just finished moving almost everything except the computer & chair.

Yeesh.

They moved me to the big fancy office I didn't want original, but a new employee coming in and they want him to be in my office because it's near the production manager, and they're suppose to be working together.

I made it look as homey as I can, but the last person in that office had the walls painted a poop brown, really is an eyesore. Tried covering it with all the pics I have, but since it's a lot bigger than I normally have I don't have enough. I'll send a pic later!

Oh and it has a big executive desk.. WITH NO DRAWERS. Never heard of such a thing, not sure where I'll keep my personal effects.

Hey girls you have to hear the latest in the ball park saga!!!

As I said earlier, I took my Mom to town to buy the stuff for my Dads birthday--which we did. Met Rick and a friend of his for lunch, and had a great time. Well except I fell! In the Dollar Store, they had a disaster in their store, and I stepped without seeing it on a piece of cellophane on the floor and my foot went out sideways, and when I tried to catch myself I hit shelves they had stacked against another shelf--and down I went! The cashier laughed at me! I was scared, physically hurting, and mortified ----and she laughed and they all went away, and I was MAD!!!!!!!!!!!

I found the manager, told him his store was a hazzard, that I fell, and his cashier laughed! Anyway, he filled out an accident report so if I feel I need to see a Dr. I can at their expense.

Anyway......on to the story! I come home and Connie my next door neighbor hollers that she has something for me. I go over -- leaving Kinsey sleeping in the van--- and she has this balloon bouquet. One balloon is pink mylar, another purple, a couple of florals, and one says You're #1. I thought "what in the heck?" I open the card, and it says "You're our hero!! Way to go!!!" it was signed from the Shop Office Staff. Rick's secretary, and the other girls in the office who were there sent them!!!

And at lunch Rick said Brett actually come to the office and face to face apologized to him for the "crap" his wife started! Rick said he told him he appreciated it because his wife had had a really rough few weeks, and did not need that!

Wierd way things turn out!!!

I too laughed hard at Chuck you Farley----and know somehow, somewhere I too will fit that gem into conversation!!! LOL

Well I need to unpack bags from the store.....will the fun never end???

KAT! you okay? all your incisions ok? I can't believe that lady laughed at you! Especially since she works there! I'd be all types of concerned if a customer fell in my store. Oh and that's so awesome that the girls sent you that ballon bouquet. Proves that there's alot of people that would love to have the guts to do what you did!

I made an appt for later on this week with my GP for my anxiety attack. What's the effect that you get with the medication? What makes them SCRUMPTIOUS??

Congrats on your sobriety! Feels good, huh? I am glad so many of us are back on the bandwagon! Makes it easier to be accountable.

Thats because execs have the secretaries doing all the work...they do not need desk drawers!

      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'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!

    • 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. 💜

      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!
