Suzanne-omg...sounds like alot of hours you are going to be getting! We will be thinking about ya! Post when you can!

Hi JollyGreen....I see you there! :thumbup:

Hi Tracy - It took me 6 weeks before I could actually sleep! No job, they knew I wanted to be out in the field and not in the office

Hey Ladies.

Home for about an hour before we have to head off to the hospital. I have a load of laundry going and I fixed a quick lunch for us.

Kat, good to see you stop by. I'm sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation last night. I hope your friend will be ok. I will say a prayer for her. I hope we see you a little bit more here.

See ya all tonight after I get home.

Hi Suzanne - How was your shift at the hospital. I did laundry today too... Yuck! Nothing really fits me so time to send out some stuff so there are piles everywhere.

I haven't been to the gym all week, I've been so darn sick. Hopefully next week will be better

I'm sorry you are sick, hope you feel better soon, glad you stopped in to let us know

You can post here any time you want :) We would love to have you here! :thumbdown:

My name is Cindy. I have lived in Louisiana my whole life.

Yeah, it is getting nasty in there and it is just not good. I REALLY don't like it. So, I won't post there anymore until it calms down. Too much poison right now.:thumbup:

I poked my head in the PJTP thread a few days ago, and quickly backed right out and ran far far away from there...

Hey Peeps.

Home from the hospital. We were really busy tonight. I ran into an old friend while I was there. It was good seeing her.

Hi Cindy, you are welcome here anytime you want. The more the merrier.

I actually have tomorrow off, so that means a lot of running around. We haven't been able to get the pool closed up yet, so we are going to work on that this weekend. My nephew is going to come over and help. The cover is huge and we can always use an extra hand.

Off to go get caught up on DWTS. See ya soon.

Ahhhh...My first hot chocolate of the season. I love this time of year.

I need to find my journal that I was using last spring and see if that will get me started again. I've never really been any good at journaling, in fact I hate doing it. I didn't do it when I was at WW, but I still lost. But I need to do something to see if I can get my eating under control. I just feel this need to push it. I need to get my head back in this and when I get that signal that I'm starting to get full that I need to stop. No more bites or licks. Why can't I get that back into my head, it's so frustrating.

Have a great day and I'll check in soon.

There is something to Journalling...when my DH (dear husband) lost most of his weight... I kept a precise account of everything that went into his mouth...:cursing: :cursing: But I threw it out and now wished I had saved it because it would help him to see how wonderful he had been :thumbup:

My nutritionist has asked me to keep a journal and I am trying to figure out the layout for it :thumbdown:

I :thumbup: am trying to finish an afgan by tomorrow so I can wash and dry it on Saturday when I give it as a present :cursing:

Does anyone have a great idea for the journal layout...I used to use the notebook that the DS (dear son) did not use at school :cursing::mad2: I purchased a pretty book to use at Walgreens clearance for a dollar.... it can be caried in the purse :thumbup:

:scared2::tt2::scared2::tt2::cursing: to those who think I will not succeed :):sneaky::cursing:

Hi Cindy! So we can be the shelter for the evacuees :cursing:. And now if you leave us we know where to find you! :)

Hi Shalee! It is really sad that things like that happen. Jst kick back with us for a while and hang out. :thumbup:

Ever have coffee spew from your nose? I just did! LMAO! :scared2: Thanks, I needed that! :thumbup:

I have been a fan of the Osbournes for years! To see them like that makes me smile :cursing:

I know what you mean! I feel like a 'cutter'...you know, those people that cut themselves because they say it makes them feel better by mutilating themselves. That is exactly the same thing I feel. food is my knife. :thumbdown:

Jen-you with us yet? yoohooo...

Good morning all....I wish I could rename this thread to something like Shelter for Evacs...I guess homeless might sound a bit harsh.

You know, I tossed and turned last night. I was up watching all the weight loss surgery shows on TV and it reminded me of how fortunate I am. There are so many people that wish they had this surgery and can not get it and here I am...not using it the way it should be used. I am ashamed of myself. So today I vow to use my band and follow the rules...in honor of those who wish they could have one.

Have a great day ladies!

My name is :thumbup: Laura :cursing:

You can call me Laura or Jolly

I have the name Jollygreen because decades ago... in elementary school everyone called me that

because I was 6 feet tall (my height in 6 th grade)... and thin... went to doctors to gain (but could not)

:scared2::wub: The kids used to sing the Green Giant commercial to me :cursing: :cursing: which I hated :thumbup:

Now that I am older and wiser :cursing::cursing: I think that the name is funny but not at 12 :) :cursing:

Good Morning all

glad to see everyone here today!

I was going to post this morning but running late

hi Laura -

I use my fitness pal or daily plate is another good one, both online and both track all nutrition value, I have only been getting 700 cals so I'm trying to up that, but I love it because I can put my exercise in and it tracks everything, next week I print out my journal pages and take them to my nutritionist.

I need to be accountable... anyone up for a challange to lose 10lbs by Halloween????? Weigh in here once a week? Friday mornings before the weekend so we can allow ourselves a bad day?

Any takers?

Well, finishing my Breakfast and heading to the gym.

xoxoxo

be back

      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. 💜
