got a pedometer today for sale at target.....this one is a watch so I can't lose it or have it go through the wash like the last one. I have no idea where that one ended up!! Maybe I gave it away with my too big clothes...........

Never did find it. The only thing this one doesn't have it a heart monitor which would have been nice but to expensive.............

I'm back home. I had a really nice lunch. I gave my daughter her Subway sandwich, cookie, and juice and off she went with her class to lunch. I sat across from Mike's desk with my little 3 inch tuna on wheat (he ate 6 in of his footlong) and chatted as we ate. The aide in the class said I'm leaving in a minute so you guys can have privacy - I told her that is ok (of course I didn't mean it :( Then Mike came back and my daughter's teacher from last year was with him to show him something on the computer - and then the other teacher says the same thing about he was leaving so we could have privacy - what the heck did they think we were doing in there? Must have been my slinky shirt and earrings? (just kidding). We had a nice relaxed conversation - I even offered to drive him to his colonoscopy and wait for him - I know kind of a weird thing to offer - he said he might take me up on it. He went to pay me for the sandwich and I told him my treat - he said he'd pick up the tab next time. I know where I'll be spending my Friday afternoons. Pretty desperate huh?

My kids are swimming and my son's girlfriend is over too and another friend. We're going to check out Dream Xtreme in Elk Grove a little later - my daughter wants to have her b-day party there on the trampoline.

Ok, this ticker thingy is stressing me out! I can't get it to show my starting weight or my current weight or goal weight - grrr~!

Nicole, my dad use to get heart burn really bad and the only thing that worked for him was a little baking soda in water....? worked really good for him.

Tamra - sorry about the raise - next time! dn't let it get you off track.

Jes - I got a body pillow! Had it for a long time and love it. I like to sleep on my side and since I'm so round it keeps me from rolling LOL.

Thanks Tina & Nicole for the encouragement but i really don't know where I lost it from??? My husband doesn't either - said he thinks my clothes are just stretched out LOL.

Pammie - that was a total date! I still say dump him - he's too confused or something!

Went to the movies to see inglorious bastards - it was ok. some funny moments but kinda stupid funny - you know what i mean?

Mike - hope you get the job homeboy (nicole pass that along would ya?)

Donna - so curious what you got going on tomorrow!

That's great news Tina - yipee. Is Intel in Folsom?

I was able to eat 2 in of my 3 inch tuna on wheat with no problem - even the bread - I took tiny bites and chewed well - of course it was over about half an hour.

I am excited to see you guys tomorrow and to go on our little walk before hand. My mom is going to pick up my kids and take them to their house to mow and hang out - good for them and good for me.

I dozed off for a few minutes while typing - I must be tired.

Where is everyone?

      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'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. 💗

        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. 💜
