Ahhhh....I can now go to bed and know that when I get up in the morning I am still going to be able to speak with my family. I seriously was going through withdrawls. I think I was able to give up fatty fried food easier than I was able to live with out you guys. I guess that is a good transfer addiction!!!

ALright I have got to go to bed but I did PM Alex. Janet I hope you get some food quickly. I would die if I ate this late. I eat at 6:30, 9, 11:30, 2:30 and 5:30. The 9 am feeding is new thanks to the nutritionist. At 6 I feel like I have died if I haven't eaten!.

Hey ya'll!

I had my first session w/my trainer and it was great!!! She is wonderful. I hung in there pretty good. She even said "You don't look 248...You're just a solid, muscular girl...you have a lot of endurance..." Just compliments all over the place! She was very encouraging.

I was so psyched about this and can't wait to go tomorrow. Yeah, I'm sore a bit, :tt2: but I know it's worth it.

I'm faithfully wearing my BodyBugg and keeping track of my eating/exercise. I'm back on track ladies!!! :thumbup:

Hope everyone else finds our new temporary thread. I'll PM Alex, too.

Gnite gang!

Ok got the dogs fed - GS went to taco bell - I have my fish cooking...

I haven't been too good with Breakfast lately - I need to go to the store - today one of my insured asked me to lunch - I had never met her before just talked on the phone for 5 yrs - She doesn't know I am banded she was the first person who I have eaten with who didn't know - it was weird cuz I was eating so slow - she didn't notice as she ate 2 soft tacos and I ate 1/2 of the taco a few bites of the Beans - So for you who haven't told - I could see how it's hard - all my freinds know so when i stop they all look at me are you ok - ya I'ms just a little stuck :tt2:

I can't say I eat on a time schedule - Breakfast when ever - usually around 9 ish - always noon for lunch on the weekdays - dinner is usually 7:30 - 8 p.m. most nights - Weekend are when ever I am hungry - I ususally don't eat breakfast on the weekend - cuz I am out and about - usually just dinner and evening Snacks..

If I ate at 6 p.m. I would be hungry or looking for food from head hunger by 8 - As peaches indicated (i don't know if it was here or 50 thread) that the night she had fish she was hungry a couple hours later... It's not just that it's my whole nite time eating thing - I know when my demon hours are so I just fix it so that I can feed those demons during the hours that the want to be fed and stay within my calories for the day..

Today all I have had was that 1/2 taco and 1/2 Beans - I had a dentist appt after work - got my new bridge it feels good.. Expensive but you gotta have teeth :frown:

Can't say I am really hungry - I cleaned the kitchen - tried to Iron this skirt from coldwater creek that came today (a lady I work with gave me a 40% coupon) omw - it's gorde or pleated and i spent an hour on it and now my back is killing me -

I was pissed this afternoon when I could get our old thread - Wanted to see what Phyl said - I was busy at work so didn't get a chance to ck as much as I usually do...

Yes this is a healthy transfer addiction - better than my shopping :eek:

Ok gotta ck my dinner - gs just gave be a bit of chick quesidlilla from taco bell -it was good - see i wasn't hungry till i had that bite now i want to eat - food really is an addiction for me - once i start I can't stop (well yes with the band I stop - but pre band I didn't - this is why for me it's such a great tool..

Ok - I am out here for the night - Sweet Dreams everyone - Talk to you all tomorrow...

xoxox

      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!

        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. 💗

        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. 💜
