Recommended Posts

Hey Y'all:

Just because I was born in Socal, I have deep roots in the south. My parents are from Louisana and I also spent 5 happy years working in Atlanta.:biggrin2:

GG:

Don't mistake Grits for cornmeal porridge, its taste much better.

I have in-laws in London and have been there many times. I hope to come again soon.(once Iam comfortable enough in the airplane seats).

Glad to find you all. I was born in Dallas, Tx, but grew up in East TX, lived in Baton Rouge, La for 17 yrs, relocated back to East TX.

I was just telling a friend of mine that when I go to get my fills or LB support groups, I'm the only WOC in the mtg. To my knowledge there are very few around here if not any. BTW, love grits. I only discovered them when I moved to Baton Rouge, thought it was actually "grits" (sand). lol

My ex DH thought I was a lunatic. lol

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
