I hope all has a good day and Easter!!!

Houston girls, I heard on tv this morning that you have already had 3 bad storm alerts and a tornado this morning, they said it is headed our way tonight!! I hope all is good with you and you are not affected by the storm!!! I got the mental picture of Macy wanting to go outside and search for eggs and it was pouring and lightning and stuff. The thought broke my heart!!

We are going out for lunch today at Brio's. My aunt and uncle and cousins wife are going with my family. That whole situation breaks my heart too.

Pam what an Easter blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terry I will try very hard to hit the straight and narrow with you tomorrow!!!

Thanks to all you for being great violets!!

Good morning! I talked to Rick a little while ago, and he is well on his way home!!! He called from Muleshoe which is not far from the TX NM border!!! He should be home by 4-5 this afternoon, I AM SO HAPPY!!!

I also got the news that my newest grandchild due in August, will be another boy! Right now she thinks his name is going to be Caden, but that is subject to change....life is changing some right now.

Tracy---I have been wanting to talk to you too! I am really enjoying my job as a whole, but I also liked having my time to do what I wanted WHEN I wanted, not around a second schedule! Like talk to you!!!

I told Tracy about a situation I found myself in, that I was unsure how to handle. And I need new Tracy advice....I won't go into it here, because as I have said before, I have followers, and while I no longer refuse to comment on them....I will not go into that part of my life here!!! LOL

Tracy, I think in the last 2 years, Macy is definitely looking more like you. As she moves out of the toddler look, and is looking older, she looks more like you. Now put in a Daddy line up, Frank would definitley be picked as her Daddy!!! She is a wonderful blend of the 2 of you!

My DD Manda, everyone says looks like me. And in many ways she does. But then I see her with the kids from her Dads second marriage, and she could be full blooded siblings with them, and yet none of them "look" like their Dad. Wierd!

She got the lack of a chin from her Dad (too bad, I didn't realize he also lacked a backbone at the time!)---and her nose is her Dad, she has my eyes, and hair, build etc, but she walks just like her Dad, I always was trying to train her out of the penguin walk---succeeded pretty well!!! LOL

I think she too is a combination of the best of both.

But know EXACTLY what you mean about wanting her to look like you. Manda's ex husbands best friends Mom is someone we run into ALL the time it seems and she ALWAYS says in regards to Kinsey "Oh she is so beautiful, she looks just like her Daddy", leaving the feeling that she is sure glad she doesn't look like her Mom. I always say, wow you are the only one, including Jason's Mom who sees that!

We are going out to dinner today. Lazy!!! Usually we try to do a family thing, but with Rick and his folks gone, it left it kind of up in the air. Then Kinsey leaves at 1:30---to go to her Dads.....so we are going to hide eggs until her Dad gets here, then we are going to go eat. It will just be my folks, my brother, Manda and I. Son is on a mini vacation at the river----is flirting with the notion of working things out with his wife. She is with him. As is Connor. And Abbey of course is not spending any holiday with her family---always his.

House is clean, and I am soooo ready for Rick to get here!!! Going to have something ready for him to eat when he gets here, won't be Easter fare, but it WILL be home cookin'!!!

Better get dressed!!

Hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter!

I AM stuffed.

My nephew was over and we were all talking about Peeps. He said that if you put one in the microwave that it will blow up. So I told him to get one so we could try it. He looked at me like I was crazy. So we put it in and started it. It kept getting bigger and bigger, never did blow up but just got all puffy. I took it out and it deflated. It smelt like a roasted marshmallow, so I tried it and it tastes just like it. I only tried just a little bit. Threw the rest away.

Man I'm stuffed.

Good Morning Girls.

Well, I decided to go ahead a weigh myself this morning. I prepared myself that no matter what it said, I would claim it and go forth with it. So, I get on the scale and it cetainly wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. But this is where I start at.

With the Holidays over with and Judy back from vacation, it's time to buckle down and get busy again. Swimsuit season is coming up and although I won't be buying a new suit, I would like for the ones I have to be looser(?) on my. I have a huge milestone in my weightloss journey coming up and I am hoping to be there by my birthday. That's my next goal.

Everyone have a great week. Hugs to you all.

      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. 💜
