Hi again

Suzanne - I will keep you in my prayers that it is all a big mistake

So I've been waiting for 3 months for this stupid dietician appt and my alarm just went off, it was at 9, I never set my alarm for the time of theappt. What the heck was I thinking? I'm so angry. I scheduled an appt with the nutritionist for next monday. I'm not new to her so I can get right in. I have my fill appt on 12/10 so I need to have all this stuff documented so I can get my fill.

I'm so mad at myself! Well, guess I'm going to have Breakfast. UGH!

Suzanne,m I am so sorry to read of your new developements on the Xrays! That is so unacceptable for them to say they tried to contact you with such serious information!

I too hope and will be praying that it is just precaution, and nothing to worry about. Since this has all been documented, and you currently must monitor your health, will this be covered under the same insurance benefit?

I feel crappy this morning, my head is splitting, and it is cold outside---- 17 now, so I set the timer to remind me to go start my car in advance, I always forget until I walk out and see the frost, or have to climb in and sit on that cold leather. I will never again have leather seats! I did not order this one with them, we bought it the way it was.

Newspaper never got delivered this morning, I feel like my schedule is all outta whack!

Still cannot get my wedding rings on, I got several fire ant bites on my hand, 2 of them on my ring finger---barely with the help of cooking oil got them off! Wearing an old band I had, my fingers used to be this size all the time!!! LOL

Feeling very unsettled going in to work this morning, like I am waiting for the other shoe to fall. I do know I will not take much crap from her!!! I will walk out!

Crap battery was dead, now I am, late!!

Jen-map? Mt? Hike? Did I read that right? YOU GO GIRL! Yup you read right. I'm going to the Adirondaks to hike Hadley Mountain. Google it, Hadley Mt. Lake George NY, it is a beautiful hike.

Have a great day everyone! I will check in after all of the errands. Shopping, booster shot for dsd, pay bills...fun fun fun.

Have fun, I'm eating breakfast and going to shower, tan, go to the gym, and work off some of my frustration!

That is horrible! I hope the swelling goes down soon, but nice to know it is very temp, that must be a nice reminder of how great you are doing!

Good thoughts your way for Today at work.

I am trying hard to get my butt together, have a lot on my mind and can't shake it, don't know why.

Jenn, you need to tell us more about this hiking thing. That just sounds like so much fun. I love to hike.

Kat, I will never own a car with leather seats. I've burned my legs to many times getting in on a hot sunny day with shorts on. Bummer about the alarm not getting you up in time to start the car. You need to get one of the car starters. I had one on my last vehicle and I miss it alot. Hope all goes well with the job today.

I've been a busy little bee on my day off. Just finished mopping the kitchen floor and letting it dry good before I put everything back. Went and gave my blood, worked out, took the truck and went and picked up a shelving unit, laundry, potted some new plants and I'm sure there are a few other things I haven't mentioned.

I'm at about 300 calories right now. I need to figure out what is for lunch.< /span>

Make it a good one.

Well Kat, I don't know whether I should be happy for you or sad. I'm hoping it's happy. But I'm sure you will miss the paycheck. Glad we will have you around here more.

Hi all,

I'm in such a funk, but going to a jewelery party tonight, don't have to buy but they are making me go be social. Can't wait. So depressing during the day.

Kat - Are you happy? I know the stress of that place was nuts.... so I'm happy for you!

Suzanne - up in the Adirondaks, 45-90 mins away from me are great mountains, I've seen great pics and wanted to go but never felt like I would survive it... Well, I'm going. Hadley is about 2 1/2 hour hike. I will post pics. I think I'm going alone. I just need to enjoy life and get my head clear, so I'm going to do it. Next week when mom gets back from AZ we are going to hike Buck Mt. near Hadley but trails are a little rockier, so I don't want to do that one alone. I am really excited! I use to be an outdoors hunting, camping gal, and I lost me. I want me back

All in all I am happy about the change. The Dr. called me today and wants me to come in and talk to him, I am going, simply because I don't think he EVER gets the full story, I think she censors EVERYTHING!! So I plan on going in and speaking with him, even asking him for a letter of reference, in case I should want it. But I will not allow him to talk me into returning with her in charge, as it sits now, I am entitled to unemployment, and they both know it! To go back and it be miserable I would lose that option if I were to quit.

DH is happy, he has wanted me to quit, or simply to change jobs, he is not against me working, he is against it making me unhappy. So....... will take a few days to assess my next move, apply for Unempl. and go from there.

I told Rick this morning, I felt like I should be sad or emotional, but I only felt relief. Guess that should have been my clue!!! LOL

Well I am going to finish dinner, a real live home cooked meal, not quick and easy or fast food, my hubby will be shocked!!!

Coupons? Did someone say coupons? I am new in the coupon world but I saved 25 bucks on our grocery bill today and felt like I had conquered the world! I am SO proud of myself. Any hints on where I can get some would be greatly appreciated. I already use coupons.com but that is it. Any advice?

Kat-GOOD FOR YOU!! I know how relieved you are! Congrats to you! :tt2:

Hi everyone! I have been so busy the past few days I have really neglected the homeless :blink: DH starts days tomorrow so I will have some peace & quiet.

I will talk to you all in the morning! :biggrin:

Hi. Checking in.

Still sick.

Kat, glad you're home. Congrats on getting fired today!

Jen, hike sounds fun.

Suzie, prayers are with you.

Hi to everyone.

Hardly ever use coupons. :w00t: They never have any for stuff we buy. Or, as what happened this Sunday, save 20 cents but only if you buy TWO! NOT! We don't go thru the stuff fast enough and we have no storage for the stuff that would last, like mayo. DH did use one today when he went shopping. It was for medicine. I didn't have to buy TWO! And saved a DOLLAR! Coupons drive me nuts!

Off to bed soon. Everyone else is already down. DD had trouble. I went ahead and let her fall asleep on me on the couch. I just tucked her in again. Hopefully she'll stay asleep tonight.

Have a good night y'all.

      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. 💜
