My #1 Thing I want this time is to spend more time together chatting laughing and just being together

I really like #6 & #7 except all you with Wii's will have an edge on me cuz I don't have one - the first time I played was last weekend - I did ok on Golf - sucked big time at bowling, tennis, driving, baseball and my 5 yr GD beat me up in boxing - my wii age was 80 !!!! And we all know I am in good shape for a 54 yr old GM...

Also we need to know who's coming and when - I hope to Fly in on Thrusday 7/23 and Fly home on Monday 7/27

So I will be there for 3 days Friday Sat Sunday

I guess it would really depend when everyone is comming and leaving

Elvis would be fun for 1 day - I like him but I think one day would be enough

Beach is always good..

Toronto sounds fun too - a little shopping :rolleyes2:

I doubt I would sleep to noon - well that's not true cuz if we stay up late and drink - then I might sleep till noon...

I am agreeable to whatever the group wants ..

#1 Who's comming and what days will be you arriving and leaving - who's flying in and and what time (I gotta still make my reservations was going to do it tuesday when rates are suppose to be the very best - but got busy and forgot so will do it this tuesday for sure)

But my times I don't think will change

Arrive on 7/23 at 3:45 in the afternoon

Leave Monday 8 a.m. something..

I am going to post link on our main thread... And since Linda doesn't post - you (candice) might what to do this in an email to Linda - Me - Phyl - Kari - Steph

Hiking is not an option right now.. we'll see

5) Sight see for a day in Toronto

Maybe

6) Back yard relaxing, BBQ's and stuff

YES

7) Wii Fit championship trials

YES

8) sleep all morning until noon, then roll over and talk all afternoon.:rolleyes2:

Hmmm.... I can't usually sleep late any more!

But relaxing and just hangin' out sounds good, too.

Okay, that's my input!

A little nervous because Earl has jury duty July 13!!

I'm in for hiking, but not HAVE to.

Tell me more about this tree top walk

5) Sight see for a day in Toronto

6) Back yard relaxing, BBQ's and stuff

This is #1 on my list

Those are my choices but really would do anything. However, I cannot commit until after taxes are done. I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling this summer and with the surgery Jeff might just kybosh this one. And then he might decide it's alright. I want to say definitely going, but can't right now. Sorry.

Hey that's o.k. Stephanie, I am just glad you are still considering it!!! YEAH wouldn't be the same without you there!!

Scenic Caves and tree top walk... this is a really cool place. Its up on Blue Mountain, where they found an ancient INDIAN community. The Indians made their homes out of the natual Caves that were in the side of the mountain. Now it is a tourist site where you can hike around in these (small) caves.. Its really cool... then you finish with the Tree top walk which is a Suspension bridge (up at the tops of the trees) that you walk between two mtn peaks... Wonderful view, VERY safe... I've done it before... awesome..

Its an outdoor day and not too strenuous (like I said "I" have done it before LOL)

      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..

      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!
