Wow.

That's some nasty shit going on here!

TracyK - Sorry girlfriend, but you handled that very badly.

Michelle - ((((Hugs))))

Love you all!

This is really the last I am going to say on this subject...

There are a handful of things that I have done in my life that I am sorry for and you know what? This is NOT one of them. The only thing I might be sorry for is if I offended anyone personally (other than the one intended). Had it been someone else that said it, it would have more than likely rolled off like Water off a ducks back, but hearing it come out of her high and mighty, better than the rest, self righteous mouth on the day I am supposed to start my period was a little more than I could take.

So, this is where I stand. I am not here to make anyone choose sides. if someone talks to me, fine, if not, that is fine too even though I would miss the friendships because it does mean alot to me. But I have to pretend about alot of crap in my life and I can not pretend in here. I just do not have the energy anymore. I want REAL friends, not fake ones. I talk to people I care about and I ask the same from you all.

I feel better this morning than I have felt in a really long time.

I am in the process of weeding out the BS that I deal with, and this was just the start. It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

The scale was down again this morning. It is amazing how well I can follow the rules now that I can actually consume healthy food! :)

GOOD Morning Girls.

Janie, I will be thinking of you and your parents today and hope that all goes well. So glad you found your phone.

I'm working on my new resolve today. It sure is going to be a struggle but I think I'm up to the challenge.

Hubby and I will be leaving soon. Today is our annual eye exam. He's not looking forward to it. They will be dialating his eyes and he hates that. I don't get mine done because it turns out that I am allergic to the dye they use. So they just take this thig and tap the side of my eyeball. Hum, why don't they just do that for everyone and save a lot. Oh well.

Everyone have a great day and I'll chat at ya later.

Tracy -

I would love to Be a REAL friend :biggrin:

My meds have me full of energy, I'm besides myself because I was up most of the night, going to drink another cup of coffee to get my system going and head out for a walk. I made chicken parm last night, I didn't have any Pasta and had the biggest pc of chicken I've eaten since July 30th. about 4oz. with some mozz cheese melted on top. it was so good! down another lb. I hit my goal for August, and my goal for Sept is do be down another 10lbs. I hope going back to the gym next week will help kick it up a notch!

Thanks :)

Jenn, I can't get over how cold it is allready. I'm going to have to go in the garage and get my winter box out and look for some sweatshirts. And the most sad thing is that with this weekend coming up, it will be too cold to go swimming. Labor Day weekend and no swimming??? Yikes.

Yes you personally offended me. a LOT. The Michelle you attacked yesterday is not the Michelle I know, not in her posts and not in being with her in person. I am extremely disappointed in the vicious attack and Michelle deserves an apology, just like the apology she sent you. I will keep the countdown going, but for now, I really don't want to be part of nor need the anger and negativity. Sorry, but friends don't treat friends this way.

Jenn-When I was at 1.5 I could not eat an egg to save my soul! Especially in the morning! Did it have trouble going down?

Tracy - I agree with Judy. You offended me deeply yesterday. I was so sad to see you lash out at Michelle like that. I know that ya'll have had your issues in the past but for you to unleash on her like that was not ok. You have alot of stuff going on in your life and I think you were just looking for a release. And unfortunately you choose to take it out on someone that didn't deserve it.

I'm here for friendship and respect and I knew that I would always find it here. But when you think it's ok for you to attack Michelle like that and not feel remorseful about it, well then I'm sorry but I don't think that's right.

We all have our different opinions about everything and we are all different women and I think that's what brought us together in the first place.

For now that is all I am saying on the subject. I'm going to step away for awhile because frankly I cant come on here and pretend that everything is just hunky dory.

Tracy, I've reported your post...so you can blame me when it disappears.

You can feel whatever you like, but posting it on a public board...and then having the gall to put words in MY mouth!!? I don't think so!!

You have ALL irritated me at one point or another....BIG DEAL... I have never, nor will I ever, be so rude and immature as to come here and blast one of my sisters. If I have a beef with her....one that is worthy of addressing in an ADULT manner, then I will do so in a PM or email. THAT IS THE ISSUE I HAVE.

Look Ma, no new glasses. I had a slight change in my prescription and the Doc said it was up to me if I wanted to have new glasses made. The ones I have now are 2 years old and my sunglasses I got last year. So I think I'm good for at least another year. My insurance only covers every 2 years anyway. So I'll just wait and have new ones made next time. Hubby's hadn't changed either so that is good news also.

Now we are off to go return all of our Dish Network crap back to them. They said they keep sending boxes to us for it but we have never recieved anything. So I had them e-mail me a label to print up. Now we are off to the UPS store to send it all back to El Paso.

This morning I made some oatmeal and was only able to get done about a fourth of it. Woo. I hope that eases up a little. I'll see what my Water consumption is for the day.

Hugs to all.

      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!
