Today was a very good day for me, for exercising anyways. My son

left his snack here at the house this morning so I ended up having to

take it to him. The is a walking track just across the road from the

school house so I thought, "what the heck, I'll go for a little walk before

going back home." I drove my car over to the parking lot, got my MP4

out and turned on NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. LMAO, yeah you read it

right, I have NKOTB and only them on my MP4. Before I knew it, I had

walked the whole track (1 mile in length) and wasn't even out of breath.

I wasn't wanting to overdue it, so I went ahead and got in the car. I was

well on my way home when I thought about my cousin telling me that the

new track just down at the end of the cove road (where I live) had just

been opened up. So, I make a left turn instead of a right turn, and before

I Knew it, I was walking the new track listening to the New Kids again. By the time I was finished, I had walked another mile. 2 miles this morning.

This evening, my son had football practice and my daughter had cheerleading practice. My mom takes my daughter to practice and

I take my son to practice. Once again, I find myself walking the track

while he is practicing. NKOTB playing away and me walking yet another mile. My daughter gets finished with her practice an hour before my son,

she and my mom drive over to where we are, and once again, I find myself walking the track. Man 4 miles in 1 day. I am proud of myself.

There was a time, not to long ago, I never thought I'd be able to walk half a mile, much less, 4 miles in 1 day. I am really proud of myself and feel alot better than what I did last night. I have my 3rd fill next Tuesday and am hoping that this one will hit the magic spot.

One more thing, don't laugh to hard about me listening to the New Kids On The Block. LOL, they are actually really good and their new music is pretty darn sexy. They are all grown up and showing it now. As a matter of fact, I have already put my Christmas list up and told my hubby the only thing I want is to be able to go to their concert in October. Hopefully I will be able to go. Ok, now that I feel like a total dork, I'm gonna browse around this site while my barking dogs soak in some hot Water.

Pretty close one on that huh? lol, I went to their concert here in Chattanooga Tn, I was in the 5th or 6th grade. I remember waiting in line

for like 6 hours having to use the bathroom but I wouldn't move cause I didn't want anymore getting my place in line.

My little girl (she is 10) was watching the Bio channel on tv with me the other day and it was on NKOTB, she saw Joe and said, mama who is that, he is a BABE, HE IS HOT WITH A DOUBLE CAPITAL H-O-T!!! I just looked at her and told her that was Joey Mcintyre and the one I was so in love with when they were younger....lol. My hubby looked at me as if to say, whatever!!

      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 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!
