Morning Girls.

Up and getting ready for another fun filled day. Yeah right. I have to pull a double shift today. Take Sis shopping and have a class tonight. So I'll check in when I can.

Cari, that is awful about the job, you're right, what is wrong with people.

Have a great day and I chat when I get a break.

Good morning everyone...

Cari-pardon me but it sounds like you work with a bunch of jackas*es! Sorry you have to go through that mess!

Macy woke me this morning, hardly able to swallow because of the congestion and her fever was 102.5 :smile2: Her dr office opens at 8:30 so I am going to call asap.

Have a good day ladies! I will check in later.

Jen-so sorry that you are sick! Try not to let yourself get dehydrated!

Macy has a mild case of the flu. The dr gave her some cough Syrup and told me that if she is still running fever at the end of the week to bring her back in the office. She has only run a low grade fever since this morning and she is up playing so that is a good sign.

Today was a teachers workday @ school and I will keep her out tomorrow too.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

Thanks, y'all for the welcome!

Kat, you're so sweet. Thank you!

Sorry for all the sick kiddos. We've just gotten over some stuff.

Jennifur, don't mess around, get in for a slight unfill. I ended up with the flu a couple of weeks ago and got so swollen and closed off that by the time I got back in State and was able to get in to the covering surgeon for an unfill, I hadn't had anything to eat in a week and barely anything to drink in that time. Lost about 7lbs and have since gained it all back again! UGH!

Cari, your job sucks! CAN you look for something else?

Mom is here for a visit. She's headed home sometime tomorrow.

I don't know about joining the challenge. I'm a very slow loser. I am trying to get to 170 by Halloween tho. And the way I've been eating this week, it's probably close to 10lbs that I have to lose now! :)

Sometimes I hate food. :tongue2:

Have a great night everyone!

Sorry for all the sick kiddos. We've just gotten over some stuff. Tracy -is Macy feeling better today? that poor thing! How are you doing, I know that I'm usually toast after taking care of the kids, it is draining, physically and mostly emotionally. I hate when they are sick:crying:

Lost about 7lbs and have since gained it all back again! UGH! Thanks, I feel better, took some medicine and rested most of yesterday and drank ice Water, which seemed to take down the swelling, I ate dinner last night. I was thinking about getting an unfil if it didn't go away, but glad, because I am right where I need to be.

What is the worst that happens? You have to report in and it motivates you even a little bit? I like challanges, I don't want to gain if nothing else so I don't feel like a failure... but that is me:eek:

Sometimes I hate food. :tongue2:

Have a great night everyone!

Hi everyone else

I'll post more when I get back, have to finish getting ready and leave in 5 mins to get the bus and go for a walk, I have not done that since Friday. I did do a level 2 water aerobics last night... holy smokes, but felt great:w00t:

Morning,

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was very very busy all day long. When I finally got home last night around 8pm. my nephew wanted to know if I would spend sometime with hima nd so we watched a movie together. Prior to that I had taken a vicadin, so when the movie was over I headed straight to bed.

I traded my work day with another girl and my younger sis and a couple of friends and I are headed over to Kansas to go apple picking. I love this time of year. I love to apple pick and I love to bake things. The weather is perfect for it. Sunny and a high of 67. Perfect.

I worked out yesterday and than I was at the store with my sis when I ran into my next door neighbor. We decided to meet at 4pm to walk to the school to go pick up her daughter, we took the long way around so it was almost a mile for us.

Cari, that sucks about what happened but I'm glad that you did go to admin about it. Good Luck.

How are all our sick kids and husbands? Hugs to them.

See ya all later this evening.

Hey girls--

Just a few minutes then I have to get to work.

Rick is so sick.....it is scary! They said there is a 50/50 chance it is H1N1---or it could be a standard every year variety of the influenza virus.

I don't know if I told you this or not, but he was (is) SO sick, he actually had left his chopper out on the sidewalk for days! He moved it so we could unload wood, and then he left and went in and threw up the first time, and it was on.....he has been a sick puppy ever since! Normally that bike is not sitting outside in the elements! He could not move it. Son finally put it away.

Then yesterday his fever spiked, well late last night, and he was talking to me about a rabbit he was looking out the window for. I finally got him to sit down and his fever registered at 104.2! OMG! I called the nurse hot line, and they had me get him in a nice warm shower--NOT cold! But when he got out, to let as much Water simply evaporate from his body as I could, and if the fever was not below 103 they wanted me to call 911. In the meantime, I am giving him drinks of Gatorade in the shower!!! And she told me to give him aspirin, not his Tylenol. As an adult it was ok. Within an hour his fever was down to 100. Scary crap. I am a bit worried about going to work. But I did yesterday and he was fine, it was late night, early morning this happen. He woke me from a a sound sleep rattling the blinds to look for the rabbit!!!!

Jenn, if you have mucus issues, and get tight again, try drinking something as hot as you can stand-------remember when I plugged off my stoma??? Dr, at the fill center was on the money with that suggestion, it eased very very quickly!

Give Macy hugs---poor darlin'!!!

Suzanne, don't let them work you too much---or you will end up joining the ranks of the ailing!

I am a sanitizing fool, but fear it is useless, all these people think they might as well come to the eye dr. whether they are sick or not. Grrrrrrr

We did actually have one woman we sent straight to surgery, she coughed so hard, she detached a retina! Youch!!!

Gotta run!

Hugs!

      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. 💜

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
