Hey ladies

I can do either but prefer Friday since I don't work. If Thursday I can't stay as long..............but I am open so just let me know ok!!

Can we go somewhere with Soup and salad stuff. I am still having a hard time eating certain things and need stuff I know I won't PB on (salads...my bad I know!! ) that is my only request.

Nicole tell them you have an appointment and try to get first on the list..........

Tina how often are you PBing??? Doesnt sound good. I can eat anything and when i say that i mean it.. I dont get stuck and i can eat up to about 3/4 cup total food at a sitting. I still get full on 1/4 Protein but i do have vegies and my grain.

I am worried about you getting pbing often, i still havent pbed, just gotten stuck after my wonderful fill last time..

Thursday works for me - what time are we planning on meeting? I have to pick my daughter up in Elk Grove at 3:30. Where? I thought I wasn't having problems PBing and lo and behold I had a problem today at lunch. I had half a piece of whole wheat flat out bread and a thin piece of deli turkey with mustard. Everything was going fine and then I had about two bites left and got that awful feeling that something was going to come back up. Maybe I was just full, but I think it was the flat out bread. No more of that for me.

Shucks I can't make it either day!!! Oh well I will see you ladies on the 25th :-)

Word to the wise: Do NOT eat if you are really upset! I went home for lunch today, cut my little tiny bits of turkey up, then got mad at both my teenage son AND my neighbor at the same time, so I was really pissed as I ate that damned turkey . . and spent the next 20 minutes over the sink, in MAJOR PAIN! PBing until it was coming out my nose, it was SO BAD!!! over and over and over, I could not dislodge it. And I had not done it for days and days, I thought that all the restriction was gone! It was an adolph's afternoon! Now it feels all raw and I am having slushies made with ice and unsweetened almond milk - it HURTS! I hope I didn't damage my band area. . . .

The good news is at least my son figured out that he had upset me really bad (I NEVER puke or anything, he has never seen this sort of thing from me before) and finally took out his recyling to the bin, which is what the fight was about - but I was too busy PBing to tell him that the neighbor had already filled our bin with HIS stuff! GRRRR

I'm staying at work for lunch, it is SO much less stressfull!!!

I only PB on certain things and I am still learning what they are.

Just at resterants if I try something new...........well I don't know some things just really are a problem like broccoli. If I go with safe foods I don't PB and can eat quite a bit. So I am saving all the experimenting with new things at home!! Going with safe out!! I want to visit no be in the bathroom!!

I also feel like my restriction is almost gone. I think the PB is more about the wrong food (bread, broccoli and who know what other new things I try) and not chewing enough.

Figuring it all out. Down 2 pounds this week. So slowly work with the band..........

Let me know what is up with Thursday..........

It was on Friday the 5th! :grouphug: Bri surprised me and planned a getaway to San Francisco and we left Friday morning. We walked around all day and just enjoyed people watching, sat by the Water, walked probably about 6-7 miles. Then that night he took me to see Spamalot (broadway musical that's in SF for a couple months) and it was awesome! We had the most amazing view from our room on the 26th floor! It was the best trip we've ever had, I was totally surprised, it was so romantic and I had the most energy I've had in years!

Hi Ladies,

hope you are all doing well. I would love to meet up but Thursday is not good for me. Not only that am stll on mushies, I'm trying to make the best of it:smile2:.

I don't think I've experienced pb'ing yet. I do experience light head. I thought was going to blackout on sunday. hope it's normal.

Tina I hope you overcome the pb soon.

Chris, I'm glad you had a wonderful B-Day weekend. I need to send Abu to the Bri School of Romance LOL. Seriously that was nice of him.

You all have great evening.

      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!

        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. 💜
