Good Morning Gang....

Candice - I never ck'd the site till right now - and yes it looks great they have really changed it for the better you can do everything there now -log food they have some great receipts too. Yes limited carb and no sugar - that's how I lost the weight.. I really only ate carbs for dinner.< /p>

I they had a quesidilla (sp) receipt - that sounds good - I just glanced..

I am in to cooking more than processed food - I like real food not fake and to me the prepared stuff and eating out alot is fake - don't ask me why - just me I guess..

I ate way too much watermelon last night had a big tummy ache..

Karla - something is better than nothing and the xdh is trying to teach dd something - not in a nice manner but thats what he thinks hes doing - one time I asked my dad for $$ cuz I didn't have enought for my bills - I asked for $100 he gave me $50 and told me to figure it out - But it wasn't with any kind of guilt or to make me feel bad - it was saying you need to stay within your means.. Not that this car issue has anything to do with staying in your means - she can't help that but - I think you get the drift - he didn't have to be mean - but sounds like he's just a big AH. Glad you divorced his butt..

Phyl comes home today - !!!

Well I gotta ge to work - someone already walked in and this screen was showing...

Good Evening Gang...

Well I went to the gym did my 3 miles - it's friggin hot here - my car said 121 - it was hot in the gym - I stopped by to talk to Idrise (trainer) as I was leaving and he said I looked good -I looked at him like he was crazy but said thanks - I was all sweaty - glistening and the front of my t-shirt soaked and my hair dripping - Only a trainer would tell a girl she looked good cuz she had been sweating :frown:

My thighs & waist feel like I have gained 10 lbs - don't ask me why - I know I will get it off - but it bugs me that I keep going up 3 -4 lbs when before I was sticking at 138 with no problem - I guess it's those handfull of nuts here and there - I am not buying any more nuts even if they are good for you.. That's my excuse - but they are high in calories and my gym has been off - didn't go last Saturday Tue or Wed - went Monday and today...

You are doing great Candice !!!! You are going to have 15 -20 lbs off by Megan's wedding...

I think Phyl has abandon us for FB - I just ck'd and 3 hrs ago she was playing a game - So I take it she's home safe and sound..

Candice--good job on the weight loss--very happy for you. Janet--Not so much, but you're on it, so that IS good! Quit hogging all the heat--would you? It's less than half of that here--about 54 this am--and windy! They'll be no working outside today. Think I might go back to bed and pull up the covers. . .

Hey Phyl--How 'bout thoes Packers? Awesome first half last night--I've got Aaron Rogers on my fantasy team. Was really impressed with a pregame interview with Aaron Kampman! Gonna be rooting for him too. How are your Seahawks looking?

Chin up, Karla--once you get back it's not so bad. Got a week and half in, and summer is a distant memory now. (The November weather helps too :frown: At least there's some $$ comming in.

Still praying for you, Steph. Hope life's under control.

Cora's B-day was Thrusday. Big party Sunday. I want to post some pics of her chocolate pudding Party at Day-care, but I forgot how! They're on my hard drive. . . Ugh, there just arent' enough creases in my brain anymore!

I am trying really hard to keep up with all your posts, even if I can't always respond. Life's crazy again.

Good Morning Linda & Gang

You and I are the early risers aren't we - well it's 6 here so 9 there - I guess not that early for you :0)

My dinner ended up being 2 100 c popcorn - 1 yogurt 100- 2 puddings 120 - 1 moon pie 130 c and 1 100 cal tiny choc pb thingie- I have decided that the 130 gave me more food than the stupid little candy that's 100 cal - I got 3 times as much if not more nd only 30 cal more.. pluse 3 gram crackers 1 with pb - so my total cal for yesterday about 1480 - but lets say 1500 not bad calorie wise but terrible nutrition wise

I cooked my fish but had popcorn before it was done and I didn't want the fish - so will save it for tonite -

It's suppose to be 117 today - I wish I could sent it your way cuz we are suppose to go to outside concert tonite - Michael Jackson Tribute show... It's going to be hot !!!

Sitting here drinking my French press coffee - I love it but hate the mess of cleaning out the pot - I think thats why they invented filters.. That the only thing about the french press that's a pain - but the coffee is so good..

Everytime I drink my French press I think of you ;0)

Well need to jump in the shower - Andrew has 8 a.m appt for tattoo removal - then who know what I am going to do for the rest of the day - til tonite - maybe nap ;0)

I am here. Coming home... an adjustment, but I'm doing okay. Getting in to our big high bed was not a challenge at all and I was really worried about it. It IS an awful long walk to the BR from my recliner in the living room, but that's okay. In between bathroom has kitty box in the way.

Sex rules won't be referred to for a while!:tt1::frown::lol:

Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute here! I have NOT abandoned you for FB! I just had cars to move and one Lexolus turn to take. I wasn't there very long. Did not have much tolerance for laptop yesterday. Trying to figure out how to keep pain under control without being a zomby all the time. Haven't eaten much of anything all week because pain meds keeping me sick to my stomach. So now I am on MY routine. I think I'm going to take the strongest one only at night and the others... one, not two... in the daytime and see how that goes. All I wanted to do all day yesterday was sleep. Then friend from Three Rivers CA was in the area and she stopped by. Tracy stopped by and brought me a latte and a casserole she made for our dinner. But I am feeling awake and alert and not too much pain this morning so I think it will be a better day.

Hey Phyl--How 'bout thoes Packers? Awesome first half last night--I've got Aaron Rogers on my fantasy team. Was really impressed with a pregame interview with Aaron Kampman! Gonna be rooting for him too. How are your Seahawks looking?

Seahawks not looking so good so far but hopefully they will get better. Aaron Rogers was my very first fantasy pick when we did our draft last Sunday. I had him last year, too.

I can't believe that baby is having a birthday already!! One year old, right!? Wow!

This is not good news.... my current "nurse" has a bad cold! I hope I don't get it!! He's been complaining about it for days. I have an in home PT gal coming around 1 pm and I'm supposed to have an in home nurse coming today, too, but haven't heard from her yet. Dr's P.A. told me to make sure I take a pain pill before PT gets here and another when they leave... and he looks me right in the eye and he says "cuz they WILL hurt you!"

Thats it for sat night food, 2 glassses of wine... steak..yum... no bread. 6 french fries (accounted for ) Didn't eat lunch today though,, kinda got away on me..

Now next week, I gotta add some exercise!!!!!

I've got the food under control, only had one WEE food thought tonight, but i talked myself out of it... cuse it was almost bedtime, and I just KNOW it'll repeat if I eat anything this late, so I'm just drinking my "Tea" and taking my night time pills and then hopping in the sack.

Oh yea, and the prednisone that the Doc gave me on Thurs is calming "things" down...not quite so itchy, I can sleep thru the night agian... Inflamation is going down too. Just wish I did'nt have to take these pills for 10 days... they say they can increase your appetite... and I sure don't need that!!!!

Sleep tight, bugs & hugs,

Ladies, I'm gone for 1 1/2 days and you only made one page, what's up with that. Just got home from the trip across the state and back, and Montana is not a small state. We picked up DD#4 new car, it is sweetie. The only downer was the insurance. I called my agent this week and asked about insuring it. She said just call with the vin #, so I told her that it would be Saturday and the office was closed. She said no problem, call the main company and they will add it right away. Here is the pisser, I call Unigard and they tell me that they can not add a car over the weekend. I asked them what I should do...their answer, don't drive the car. So here I am 400+ miles from home and they say don't drive the car. I left a not to pleasant message on my agents answering machine. I held my breath all the way home. Now I won't be able to add the car until Monday AFTER DD#4 goes to school. If anything happens to that car before we get it insured, my agent won't have much skin left on them.

Had a short visit with my dad, he looks better. He is in a lot of pain from the arthritis in his back, 60 years of bending his 6'5" body to work in the tunnels of the mine have taken it's tole. He had a dr. appointment on Friday and thought they were going to do something about the pain, instead they made an appointment for NEXT Friday to deal with the pain. But I was glad to see him. Picked him up some fruit & veggies, since mom hadn't bought any.

Stopped and checked out my brothers new house, very gorgeous. They have worked hard and earned it. Lucky me, I got my car filled with quilting stuff. I whole roll of batting, some wonderful wool, a new faucet for the kitchen (mine broke a couple of months agao), and a great entertainment center. My SIL has a big boy long arm and does a huge about of quilting, but she new I couldn't afford batting for my quilt tops, so she said she needed to down size her supplies, yeah right, what a sweetie.

Sorry, enough about me.

Phyl I'm so glad you are home.

Candice, YEAH on the less the less itching.

Janet, let's not talk about food. Mom doesn't cook, so today I had my regular BF, but no lunch, no dinner. lunch was a McDonalds BF burrito, dinner was...okay, don't scream, popcorn and a Ben & Jerry's cherry Garcia ice cream bar. Not the best choice.

Sorry about the venting yesterday. Tired and irritated, a long 2 days. We stopped at the dorms on our way home and met DD#5's young man. He seems very sweet. Looks pretty young, but my strong willed DD#5 tends to hang out with younger people. She is a leader with strong morals and values. However, many times her 'boyfriends' have been several years younger. I think she has some of her father's 'control issues', so a younger male allows her to be in charge. He is probably only a year younger than her, she is 19, but he does look like a baby.

Had great intentions of sleeping in this morning, I guess 6:30 is sleeping in, but 9 would have been better. Hey this way I have some quiet time.

Candice, your 'back in the day' pics are awesome. HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY!! Go do something fun.

Janet, you will get those pounds under control. With the amount of stress you have, what do expect. For us, stress = food. How was the tattoo 'removal'? How do they go about it? DD#4 has a tattoo that she regrets getting, cried about it for days after she got it. Impulse.

Phyl, take the meds as you need them. Right now it is about controlling the pain. Are you taking your Vitamins since you have been too tired to eat? What about a Protein drink. Your body needs Protein to heal.

Candice, I'm with the older lady at the back of the church...Memories.....

Hope to get a lot done today, straighten the house, laundry, clean the koi pond filters (I need to get a bigger system), muck out my car, go to school for a few hours...

Well need to get back to school work, TTFN

Carla; I slept in until 11/30 a.m...!!! MEDS!! Just reading about your day ahead makes me want to go back to bed.... But alas this is a good quilting day.. Rainy, shitty... this was August? :blink:

Went out for dinner last night with Kids and my almost 2nd daughter... was really fun! But the SODIUM killed me.. I ate really well all day, kept my totals under control but I ate some Spanish Olives... and they were SALTY... poop, I'll just have to drink more Water today and flush that thru... I want a LOSS on my B=day.:wub:

o.k. back from my Sewing Room... did my BLock of the month for JULY ( I am behind)

It was a horrible pattern, the instructions sucked!!! I had to call the Quilt store 2 times to get clarification, and still the block does not look like the one in the picture! Oh well, its done now after 5 hours of swearing... argh... I am going to do HAND quilting tonight in front of T.V. that will calm my nerves again

Just eating my supper now, Barley/Chicken stew... its a reheat from a couple of days ago but its stil tasty.

ANd some good news, my Gastric Bypass Friend called this aft. and we are going out for dinner and Movie tomorrow..

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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!

      1. Selina333

        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. 💜
