too hard 2 type cuz wearing gloves as part of kinky sex... KIDDING. I spent a fortune on a French manicure so I gotta live in rubber gloves till you are all 2 intoxicated to noitice. Vine, talk about a fraud... I'm gonna pretend my nails always look like this.

I got your cream chz & crackers, Michelle.

Everyone, I'm off work tomorrow cleaing .... try my numbers & maybe I can come get u from airport - first come first serve. 702 269-9220 h 702 419-6054 cell

I'm so hyped... u should all see me spinnning in circles!

BUT oh noooooo... I screwde up big (huge) in the booze dept if you can believe that! It occured to me after buyingt all the ingredients that most peeps don't do carbonation, so I'm leaving my mixers out till they go flat... also, I forgot many don't do sugar, so how am i gonna make DeLarla's Toxic Tea ? I'm just gonna do it! I got some diet snapple tea & Water

Nothing went my way at the store, so I'm winging it with the recipes! SORRY, I should be shunned from the world of hostesses because there's no real crab at my market and I don't have time to hunt it down. Horrifying, I know! So I'm making seafood rangoons w/ shrimp & imitation crab & figuring out these chinese meatballs as I go along. Life's like a box of chocolates ya know!

GET HERE NOW.

Coyote, don't worry, thanks for NOT bringing too much. I've got tons to ship. Just bring you & the crayons & small stuff.

Someone grab Trish on the way - don't tell her hubby. xoxo SMOOOCH... can't wait to squeeze you people.

Wait? are you calling me a fraud? or outing your self you silly goose? It's almost midnight, and I'm wired. Oh sure, I just spent the last 4 hours working on my accounting homework. (may I take this opportunity to thank all the accounting majors out there? Since you like that work, there is no danger ever of me having to take any job that even closely resembles accounting...)

New groups of people really do scare me. Yeah, yeah, I know, the wost that can happen is that I'll be stomped to death. Again. No big deal, I know. But still, large clusters of people make me panic. Of course, it won't be like The Bite of Seattle... oh dear god...

I'm trying very hard to not talk myself out of going. Not to late to miss my flight...

Every morning I force myself out of bed against my will. After showering, I put makeup on to look like someone I'm not. Then I use deodorant so I don't have to smeel like a real woman. After drinking a soy shake that I don't like, I head to work where I plaster a fake smile on my face all day and pretend I'm someone I'm not. Am I a fraud? Yep, but I prefer the term Actress. Better yet, movie star.

Thanks Jenna.

Yeah, I'd peg you as a movie star too... :( Sorry you have to force all those things. I guess the only thing I can say to help you though that is ... may the force be with you!

VEGAS WEATHER

The wind just kicked up a bit. Hubby's been working on the yard and was thrilled that it finally cooled off. We probably won't see 100 this weekend, but you still only need summer clothes with highs in the 90s.

You might want to bring a little sweater or a pashmina (shawl) for inside air-conditioned casinos/restaurants. I'm still living in sleeveless & shorts. Capris at the most. But I always tie a pashmina on my purse when I go out (makes my purse cute, too.) This way I have a little wrap in case I get cold.

Also, if you've never flown into Vegas, the wind and heat might cause some extra turbulence. I've had my bumpiest rides coming into Vegas. If you're nervous, it's completey normal.

      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. 💜
