Wow.. nice place ya got here, Michelle. Looks a lot like the old place, but just... well.... new!:grouphug::tt2:

Terry.. I'd like my hair that short, but not that severe. I'd like little wisps around the hairline. Mine is cut shorter than it was before, but still not short enough for me. She changed the color too and called it winter blonde. It's not blonde enough for me, so we'll be changing that again next time too!

Got all the presents wrapped and/ or bagged for the grandkids and kids to take back home with them on Friday. Just have the ones close by to finish up. I'll be done by Saturday. Can't BELIEVE it!!

Everyone have a good night and a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow!!

Nothing much too add.......Terry baking in bunches is easier for me, than to dig all the needed things out more than one time!

Made some banana bread while everything was out, cuz I had bananas that were either getting tossed or baked!

Have the turkey ready to go. Rick injected the butter sauce into him!! We filled the cavity with onions, and celery and some fruit....I watched them do ig on the food Network, not to eat the things, but to keep everything moist. Thout WTH I was gonna try it!!! All my ingredients for the dressing and side dishes are ready to go....Onions and celery are chopped, so will be nothing but assembly work tomorrow! We are actually thinking of going to the early sale at KMart in the morning. They have some earbuds we would like for the Ipod. Koss buds for $10! We'll see.

OK--now I have posted so will get reminders, and can find my way "home"! Someone better send Pamela an email!!! Thanks for starting us up Michelle sorry you lost your post---that irritates the you know what outta me!!!

See ya later girls!

by the way, the 204.5 was just temporary. It was nice while it lasted. Back to 206.5 today.

I think I will ask santa to get me some new scales. Oh well, I will just enjoy my day today and jump back with the program tomorrow.

Good morning, Violets...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EACH ONE OF YOU!!

TracyK.... step away from those scales!!!! You cannot weigh each day!! Your weight fluctuates every hour. Make it a habit to weigh only once or twice a week. Every day weigh-ins will drive you nuts!!

I'm up and ready to do some house cleaning before we leave for Kris's house. Going to be a fun, family day today!

Everyone enjoy YOUR day. Catch you tonight!!

Happy Thanksgiving all! May PB's not haunt any of us today :grouphug:

I watched Wall-E last night, kind of a sad movie! Watched it while cooking at my mom's. Pregnancy stupid brain hit me pretty bad, I burned both my squash casseroles, the oven beeped and I was distracted and forgot to take them out for 30 more minutes.. dang. Then the chess pie I make just for Russell, I don't know what happened.. mom said I must not have followed the recipe, but I swear I did. I ended up with enough for 2 pies, even though it's a 1 pie recipe.. then it never set :grouphug:

I used a new recipe, all I can think of was that it was a bad recipe I found.

Oh well.. finishing cleaning our house, his family is suppose to be coming in an hour or so, then we go to my granny's.

Of course the things I told Russ he needed to do last night.. vaccuum & take out trash.. NEVER HAPPENED!

happy Thanksgiving everyone

Judy size 10... you go girl... i'm still in my 16's :grouphug: but shooting to buy couple new pr, and going to get 14's

Tracyk- Judy is right.. step away from the scale! unless you are a wack-o like me, I have stepped away from the scale so I've realized i'm happy in a week that i'm not gaining anything back, when i was out of contro and on it every day i was doing much better

So Monday i'll be back on it every day making myself crazy but doing something about it

I am also going back to Water aerobics next week too, now that i'm on hold for te kitchen

I hope everyone enjoys today

I just want to thank you all for being such wonderful friends - i know i have been mia from time to time, but all in all, i would not have been able to even begin to survive without all of you, your support and love

I am so Thankful to have you all in my live

Yumm...the food was so good!

I had already told myself I was not gonna weigh again until next week anyway. No big deal. I have been bouncing around like a ping pong ball with the weight so I would much rather just call it 206 and weigh a week from now and see 206 then instead of a bunch of ups & downs between there...too much of a rollercoaster. When I lost weight before, I could weigh every day with no problem but NOW I can see I can't do that any more. Besides, I am starting to get on Judys nerves.:blush: lol

Hope everyone enjoyed their day. I did :)

      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. 💜
