If you have time to post, you have time to work out, IF that is what you choose to do.

So you have small kids at home, put them in a wagon or stroller and go walk. PLAYING is exercise!!! Go to the park with them and play.

I cannot run due to a medical condition, but I find other ways to work out. Most of mine is just that....WORK! I buck bales, and pound fence posts, brand cows and any number of other things that a small farm requires!!! It all works out the body. One does not have to travel to a gym to work out.

And if you have time to post and moan about it, then you have time, plain and simple......regardless which side of that Mason Dixon you are on!!!

Exactly Kat.

People post their own private pity parties and turn savage when they dont like your practical advice. I'm busy too - 3 kids, a job, full time study, a house, a husband that's gone at 7 am and not home till 8 pm and I find the time to exercise. But that's somehow different becuase I'm *lucky*. I *like* to exercise.

Huh? Even if I could swallow that, it drives me crazy when people insist on thinking that I'm telling them its running or nothing. I run becuase I like running, everyone else doesnt have to! Just exercise!

Then they turn round and say that that kind of blunt, practical advice isnt helpful. How is mollycoddling someone helpful? Perhaps the fact that people cant take sensible advice must *might* be part of their problem?

I think some personality types just enjoy being sad and sorry.

Some people love being the person who says "I'd love to exercise and eat right, but my car broke down, and my cat died, and when I was six I got chicken pox. Exercise is impossible because of it, and it also means I can only eat cheetos and drink coke" :angry:

I am just tired of being given shit for being the person who loves to say "I kicked my obesity in the ass, and have regained my health and fitness! It takes work, but I did it"

But meh. Human nature just sucks I am afraid.

How did I miss this originally? I don't do "greens" either and ditto on pasta! I do like fried chicken though, unfortunately. I do NOT however do gravy - blech!

Well - I do like Zaxbys and it is fried - so I lied, but I can't eat it now so that's a good thing! But KFC and my grandma's (sorry grandma - looking towards the heavens) fried chicken - I just can't stand the greasy skin. Pull it off the bone and chuck the skin. I'm good to go!

As for gravy - I can't do it either. I guess (back to grandma), seeing it in a congealed state is nasty. Lard (and she made it with good old fashion, clogging your arteries Lard) isn't pretty cold. It makes me nautious just thinking of it.

Color me "guilty" -- I do often whine about not losing faster, and the truth is, I have no one to blame but myself. My results HAVE been phenomenal by a lot of standards, but could have been WAY better by now.

I know all too well that I have NOT exercised nearly enough and have TOO OFTEN put the wrong things in my mouth, even if the quantity was significantly less.

I'm sufficiently contrite. In fact, I'd decided to blow off the gym today, but I'm gonna log off and get dressed and go.

Thanks for the kick-in-the-pants. I needed it.

I love me some Zaxby's as well! And eww, you used the word congealed. Gross!!!

      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. 💜

      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!

        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. 💗

      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. 💜
