I am not really sure i like this new format. I can't figure out how to control my stuff yet. I think I have to reload my picture,but im not sure yet. Having a really rough week with the shoulder. A lot of pain. I have been resting and icing it every few hours. Hope everyone has a great wed, and a wonderful turkey day.

Hugs,

Chris

My Dh gave me his ipad. He just ordered a Nook for himself. We do that at Christmas time......buy ourselves a gift.

I can't decide whether to go to Water aerobics, walk or go to weight training tonight. My back is hurting because the weather is changing. That cold front all of you are dealing with is coming here. Today it will be in the eighties. I am so glad I am not cooking. With this hunger issue I don't think I could handle it.

Tx.....you take care of that shoulder!

Apples......I hope you had a good one!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Morning everyone and Happy Thanksgiving. I doubt I'll have time to wish you a happy holiday tomorrow so thought I'd do it now. Hope everyone has a nice and safe holiday.

Busy week -- taking DGD to Disney on Ice tonight. Everything here is fine, just super busy. Hopefully will CBL.

Well, good morning everyone!

It is cold, cold, cold here (I know not like you folks back east) But for California pretty chilly.

I am feeling the fill full on now, as I imagine there is a little swelling!

I guess I'm getting used to the new format, especially now that I got my color back

:D

I know dumb huh?

Well, hopefully I will do my walk today, I don't know if we are expecting more rain or not....so at least one 30 min walk.:waytogo: Everyone have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Eat carefully and enjoy the family (or the ones that will allow you to enjoy them). Smile and know we all have friends here at LBT.

Hi everyone..... just checking in for the day.... I've lots of preparations for tomorrow to get done in between pain spells. I'm sure those of you who are cooking are doing about the same... I'm only having 8 or possibly 12 at the most so it's seems like a little job for me... I'm used to 30 or so......... but as the kids get older and married it gets harder to have the whole family together......I've been lucky most of my life as all of my brothers and I have lived here by our parents..... Then dad died and Mom moved to town and then life goes on.... gets busier and busier...... It's sure different now that we have our DD married... Her MIL is a bossy one about how things WILL happen...... She's in for a shock with my DD....... she won't take being told what to do....... should be interesting at Christmas..... MIL is working tomorrow so no problem with Thanksgiving.....

Anyway, DH is back with something I needed from the store, so I'd better get busy.... I love and miss you guys...... I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day spent with those you love.... Eat smart and enjoy...............I am so thankful for each and every one of you, my friends....... Hugs and prayers for all..... Julie

Well....I'm ticked. Still can't figure out why my color does not work. Any ideas? I've tried it all.

Just got back from driving 70 miles one glare ice (left at 7am) on way, had my appt, and headed back 70 miles on glare ice. My new vehicle handles better than my truck. Go figure. Anyway, nerves are frazzled after that. Thought this would be my last appt but came back home without the permanent crowns (8 of them). Needed to be sent back to the lab and have my next appt on Dec. 1.

Still getting rain mixed with snow and high winds. Watching my poor fellows out in the yard trying to get machinery put away in the machine shed. Too bitter to be out there but needs to get done TODAY.

Going to finish my cleaning this afternoon and then bake my pecan, pumkin and mix fruit pies. Total of 8 pies. Tomorrow I will make the chili, chicken wildrice Soup, homemade garlic breadsticks and appetizers. Making chicken tenderloins on a skewer, smoked cheeses and a fruit plate with fruit dip. Non-traditional this year as everyone coming will have had a big turkey dinner prior to coming.

Sad...youngest DS will not be here nor will be be coming for Christmas. Sad. Got my big girl panties on. Had to put 'em on last night after spending entire bday by myself. Work seems to always get in the way of life around here. Had a 30 second pity party and then got over it. Had lots of calls, cards in the mailbox and many bday wishes on Facebook and you girls (and our TX) were just the best. Whine....thanks for listening. No sympathies, please....I am fine. I guess I am really tired of being isolated on this farm and my guys gone from b/4 light and way after dark. Soon it will be better.

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone is good and will have a Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe and enjoy your families and friends.

Thanks Kelly...did it yesterday and today and still get the black. Won't enable it.

I don't like this format.......too many clicks to get the job done. If you click the size, color, and bold after you post then preview.....it should come up what you select. First you have to click the topic button twice and should go to options then you can get your settings and options.

So, I went to Fast Reply and clicked my font size and color and started typing. How easy was that? Gotta get going on getting ready for tomorrow. Have decided not to sweat the small stuff. My basement will not have a toilet but my DH did manage to get the floor pretty clean. It's pretty ugly but, they're there for the food and fellowship. Poor DH has been scheduled to work for 5 midnights. He's only been working 2 per week. The security co. he works for really does some things bass-akwards. Worked last night and now the next 4 nights. No prior notification that he'd be working Thanksgiving. My daughter is leaving her boys at my house overnight tomorrow so she can do the Black Friday allnighter and dayer. I'll be on my own with them as he'll either be at work or sleeping. Just finished my supper salad. So now it's time to get to work. Love you all. Have a great Thanksgiving. God is good all the time. All the time God is good.

Ok...thanks, Cheri...for some reason, I finally got the green goin' on. Did nothing different than b/4. Whew. I was ready to give up. And, if anyone knows me, I give up on nothing!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜
