Terry-we do have a community pool for the townhouses we live in. I really hate the beginning of summer because I KNOW I am going to burn! I wanna go to the pool but I dont wanna burn!! Sun block doesnt block everywhere...i usually miss places and I end up looking streaked or polka dotted....like in Gruene, remember? lol

Aww Kat, so glad you were able to save Terry's post!

Terry - I hope you have a fantabulous time next week! I'm off to Cabo San Lucas with my whole family. Tuesday to Tuesday. I know, weird days but we are staying at my dad's friends timeshare condo and that's when it was available!

The game was awesome last night! We all had so much fun. My friends overdid it with the beer but since we were getting dropped off it was no big deal. I don't drink beer so I sipped coke and Water all night so I was the only one at work this morning. They won't be in until noon today, LOL...

Sunday is Juan's birthday and I planned a little shin-dig for him at the house. Nothing big, just his extended family and my immediate family. I realized after I had committed to this and told everyone about it that it's two days before we are scheduled to leave for 7 days. What was I thinking?? I barely have enough time to pack and now I'm cooking and hosting people? ay ya yay... i get myself into these kind of situations all the time...

Morning, slept in a little and now running late.

I'm taking my sis to go see "My life in ruins" today. Looks like a movie that isn't to complicated for her.

Everyone have a great day.

I had 5 days of having to drag myself out of bed pitty party, im back up to what i lost but... I am super PMS, going to do lots f lemon Water, plus been pb'n on everything, i'm a mess, but.... i have been walking and starting to feel it big time in my butt, i'm taking this morning off, might go later tonight.

I have a gift card from jcp i got for xmas, only $25 but i got a thing in the mail for $10 off any item $10 or more and that and a huge sale, i'm going to see if i can pick up a couple of things for AL with that, even if a couple of cute tops, I love summer tops

I am going to do a week of tanning next week for a refresher on the places i can't tan in the sun. My dd is fair like you Tracy, i got her 6 visits and as I can go in for the full time within 3 visits the first time for the year, she only went in for 3 and worked up to 5, just to take the pastyness away, she cannot be in the sun, but ds, he has not used a drop of sunblock and is tan, not dark dark, but is definately tan, she has her father's irish skin and he is all mine. LOL

Good afternoon, Violets..

I've accomplished nothing so far today except a couple of loads of laundry. We just finished lunch and now I'm going to clean a little bit downstairs and then jump in the pool.

If any of you are watching the news, there's a story about a plane that got diverted because of turbulent weather. Not that unusual to me, except it was the airbus from DETROIT to HUNTSVILLE!!! Yikes!! They diverted the flight to Memphis. Keep fingers crossed that the weather is good in two weeks!

Off to get working and exercising.. BBL

Oh dear, this morning they diverted it?? Hadn't heard about it. Must have been bad weather en route, we just had light rain; and I've seen planes coming in during tornado warnings.

I'm sooooooo hungry... :)

Hey Girls~

Not sure if I posted yet today...but I am on my NEW PUTER! I like it very much.

I swear, I am watching the minutes tick by today. I was gonna stay after school but I got so much done. I think I am gonna go home at 2 and take a quick nap before Susanne's apt w/ the doc...she is FINALLY gooing to my ENT for her allergies.

I got my ch. 4 and 5 back from the editor. She hadn't given those to me...and I've been waiting. I wanted to have ALL the edits done before the last day of school, but now that is moved to next week sometime. Ch. 4 is gonna take me a while, ch. 1 and 2 took 7 hours...and ch. 4 is 70 pages alone:eek:.

Thanks Judy...I am excited to move into rt college, not just online. I worked on my curriculum vitae today. It was great to finally update that last degree:biggrin:. Again, I am not looking yet...just inquiring about the 2010-2011 school year.

I read a bunch from everyone today in passing...and now can't remember what I wanted to say.

50 more min...Lawd help me!

Did I mention that movie, The Proposal was SOOO good. Still thinking about how cute it was!

Back from movie and grocery store. The movie was cute and we had a good time. Came home and made sloppy joes and baked Beans. dinner is already because I have to take my younger sis to the hospital at 5pm. She's having an MRI done on her knee and is scared $&*@less about it. So I told her I would go to easy her mind.

I feel like I need a nap really bad.

Everyone going on vacations is making me sad. Maybe some day I can go on a vacation. Anywhere. Even down the street would work for me.

Laura, I've never seen that show. Is it any good?

      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!
