Sorry Frogster - I'm lucky to have a more lenient insurance provider methinks. I just watched 2 episodes of "Big Medicine" and am pumped again (after my brief chicken shit episode from Sunday)!!!

I went to dinner w/ my triathalon friend and of course I was hot in the tight restaurant booth and she had to bring a sweater not to freeze. Frustrating! So many reasons why I'm SO ready!

And what's the last and most fun-nest to me? To prance around around at work in front of the staring Stalker. <insert evil laugh>

Ugh, forgot to say that I got a very sweet email from my boss today (after I'd updated him on my progress). He said that if I needed anything after my surgery to make sure to call him. Aww!

SNT, say what you want, but every "after-hours" Cinemax movie has this in the script at some point.

And lord knows, YOU would know!!! :biggrin:

Seriously, I've known him for almost 6 years and we've always just been like siblings. He's married with 2 young children. I'm not going thru all this to share a man. OH HELL TO THE NO! (O'course I'm too selfish to have shared a man ever!) <snap>

<pointing at Plain> Now you behave!

So, I'm here (specifically in the R&R section) for entertainment, some debate / arguement, and to just shoot the shit with some folks because I work nights.

You said "shoot the shit". In a DS thread. :biggrin:

I did NOT know that OH had a R&R section!! I'm gonna "fly on the wall" it tonight!!

It sucks though. There is no real debate on most of the threads. I love these kinds of sections on other boards but I won't go to the OH one.

Anyway, that's not what I came to post. I had to tell you guys this because maybe find it as funny as I did.

I gave Mr. Mac my Pre-op Education guide that my surgeon gave me. Like a supportive husband, he read the whole thing. Today he gave it back to me and then stood there with a quizzical look on his face. I asked him if he wanted to talk about anything in the booklet and he said (and I quote):

"After reading this booklet, I don't see why anyone gets that DS surgery. It's so dangerous and the side-effects are so gross. You'd have to be crazy to do that."

Be sure and loudly proclaim "Oh, I accidentally dropped my stapler", then bend over slowly and pick it up. That's my best move....it drives the ladies wild at work*

*By ladies, I mean my imaginary friends.....hey, screw you for judging me!!

All puns purely unintentional.....

I think I read you are going to give the sleeve a shot, Mac? Or am I confused?

Well, to be honest, I've seen a lot of "skin-a-max" movies, but I only usually watch for 5 minutes or so <----- gratuitous masturbation joke.

      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. 💗

        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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
