I eat salads - never had a problem - Yes good food day..

Just let me know about Vegas (dates) I'll be there..

Glad Linda's doing ok - but oh so said about her baby - I bet she's torn up..

OMW we know not to get on your bad side with the secert weapon lol

I was checking out Vegas flights and prices, also flights to LA... never been there.

Would you really go to Vegas again? It was such a long drive for you.... I'd come alone this time I think, that way we could have more "tegether" time.... don't get me wrong I liked Debbie....

Yes I was worried about Linda too... her BP is still very high and she IS on 2 or 3 kinds of meds to control it... School is really the bugaboo for her, she's working at 150% capacity.

Wallered in some Russel Stovers chocolate now going for a walk. Had 4 pieces, yep I know, shouldn't have, but its done and over with and I don't want anymore so it won't be a problem. Use to eat the entire box, so in comparison 4 pieces is better. Have a roast and carrots in the crockpot, accomplished nothing today other than giving myself puffy eyes and a headache. So hopefully the walk will clear the head and the heart a little bit. Thanks for listening, its time to put a wall around it and lock the door. Nothing can be gained from wishing things were different. Life goes on.

Ah Karla, I feel for you... it is sad to lose someone thatmeant that much to you once. Don't worry about commiserating here with us... that's what support is all about... We may not be able to "DO" anything, but knowing that someone cares to listen sometimes helps.

Keep your chin up and look toward tomorrow :thumbdown: :angry:

My office can be buttheads - they told us last week we had a mandatory meeting... Everyone has been speculating what's going on..

Well we all go in the lunch room then give us this card and tell us to follow the boss outside - we do - then we walk to the park next door to the office - I see streamers and pple cooking food - we get over there and it's a celebration..

They admitted to being remiss in celebrating pples miles stone anniversaries (remember in July that 30 yr mile stone I had - with no recognition) Well they said they were eating crow (had crows on the table) and that from now on - pple who had 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 etc anniversaies they would get 100 for each decade (so I guess 5 gets 50)

Had a nice lunch tacos rice Beans chips & salsa and cake

I had the guts of 2 tacos - 1/2 piece of cake - and chips & salsa (ate too much of them) - Good thing I went to they gym this morning :0)

So I got $300 and 3 of us got envelopes - so it was a very nice surpise - but they f'd with pples heads for a week..

Karla Hugs I'm home...

Candice that would be cool just you and me - I'm cool with Vegas - it's like a 3.5 hr drive - not bad - I love driving long distants - I hate driving around town - it's up to you -- I will gamble with you one nite - then we shop - and go see a show

Well I may go tomorrow and buy a new coach purse with my $$$

We had some excitement in my neigborhood this morning -

All four escaped inmates back in custody | MyDesert.com | The Desert Sun

Click this link above - They aren't saying how they escaped but one rumor is that the cops left them in the van while they went an ate (we have a mcdonalds) 1st story was there had been an accident - but from the news tonite - cops being very tight lipped - so sounds like the got left in the van and they escaped..

I got a news alert on my email - then another alert from hoa - called andrew to make sure he still had the alarm on (I had it on when I left at 7)

Karla - 4 piece no biggie - don't sweat that - that's a normal persons serving...

Janet, I'm not calling tonight, I need to not talk about things. I have things under control, by a thread. So I'll probably call later this weekend.

Ya, I could get a Hotel/Air deal and you could stay in my room, no need to get a second room... but I won't go as cheap as last time and stay at the Imperial Palace!!! So a Long weekend would be best for you??? Like Take a FRIDAY or a MONDAY off work?

Well I may go tomorrow and buy a new coach purse with my $$$

Janet, Candice, I'm jealous!! You both will have a blast. Play some slots for me (actually i like craps better) and win me $10,000. That would get me totally out of debt and then I could breath again!!!

Quick check in. Took some tylenol pm and going to sleep shsortly. Can't concentrate on my reading. I have 2 pages to catch up since my last post. Tomorrow morning.

Karla....I'll check for more about fireman....from what I read, no show. No crying. If he didn't show he isn't worth your tears. Don't give him that power! He doesn't deserve it.

I'm wondering about cruises out of San Diego. Thinking about doing one next year after my walk. Finish walking, then board a ship for a few days. Walk is the weekend before Thanksgiving so we could cruise for the holiday...and call it our unChristmas. Planning on doing charity for Christmas this year. There are too many disadvantaged in so many ways. We need absolutely nothing. Bought the kids 2 toys each and will do funds to charities for everyone else.

Okay...dozing off. Will catch up tomorrow. Convention over and I'm going to sleep in and then play with kids. Will tell you about Michael's bday party later. Hugs.

Steph, can I be your charity???? Just joking. I think the idea of donating your Christmas to charity is fabulous. No I haven't shed tears over the fireman, but many over an old love who I just found out died.

One of the reasons I didn't call him was that I was ashamed of how I looked. I had gained so much weight since we were together that I didn't want him to see me. But in the back of my mind was once I lost the weight I was going to give him a call. I can still hear his voice, "Hi babe", he always called me that. okay lock it up! Sorry.

Steph hope the birthday dinner was good!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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!

        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. 💜
