holy cow! i am unfamilar with threads/blogs, and I found and registered for this site like 2 minutes ago! Who knew there were so many forums/blogs/threads, etc. Could someone please help me find a forum for my topic? I was banded 5 years ago-lost weight but have since regained almost all of it. I would like to "get back on the horse again." Any forum for that? Thanks so much for the help, I look forward to learning and making friends on here!

Hey ya'll!

I want to go see Despicable Me too! It looks really cute.

Motorcycles, pools, Chucky cheese and flashing people??!! Where have I been?

My meeting with my sibs and Dad went really well. I think my dad is going to be moving about 30 min. away from me (as opposed to about 4 hours) and my siblings live less than an hour away so I foresee many more meetings. We are a hodge podge of personalities but that is what makes it fun!

I am at work today testing a system that I think will eventually phase my job out. Fun!!

Have a good evening,

Angela

Tracy, I saw the Last Airbender also and enjoyed it, even though the acting wasn't that great. My son and brother, however, were fans of the Nickelodeon series and they hated the movie. Oh well, it entertained me.

Suzanne, it sounds like you enjoyed the outdoors a little too much. I hope it feels better soon.

mscpotts, I am not sure if there is a specific thread for that, but you can find support here. I posted a link to a thread that you may want to read and join, also.

Well, I have a new toy. An 8G Ipod Touch. My daughter bought her mac book yesterday and if you bought an I touch and a printer, you got a rebate back for each. It was the good kind of rebate that I filled out the paperwork on the computer there at the apple store so I don't NOT do it, which is what usually happens. So, basically, I got a $200 Ipod and my daughter got a $100 wireless computer free (except for the 9%tax) Not bad. I have been playing with it and adding old music (mostly 80s) to it since yesterday.

My stepdaughter is having her hysterectomy on Wednesday morning, so I am spending 5 days at her house in Mississippi to help take care of the grandkids. Poor thing. The doc found 2 tumors 4 weeks ago, and then when he rechecked last week because she was having severe cramps and passing clots, he found she now has 6. It kind of sent up a big warning sign, so he said she has to have it taken out. Hopefully when this is all over she will feel a lot better. I know it made a huge difference in me after I had mine last year.

Oh, and that means no internet for 5 DAYS!!! I don't think I have been without my internet for 5 days, well, since I got the internet about 15 years ago...:scared2: I have 4 James Patterson books to bring with me. Between that and the grandkids, I should survive....:smile:

Welcome, mscpotts! A lot of us are in the same boat, lost it/struggling to keep it off or lost it/gained some back or in my case, lost some of it and am now stuck. Take time to look around. You should find what you're looking for. You are also welcome to stick around here.

Angela, nothing like being the tester to for the thing that will eventually replace you! Who's dumb idea was that?!

Glad your meet-up with the new fam went well!

Tracy, how are your sinuses? Feel better soon!

Suzanne, OUCH!!!!! Not good!

Kat, glad y'all are home and safe. Did you have fun?

Cindy, best wishes to your daughter. How scary for her! I feel so much better and I'm not even 3 months out yet. I sure hope she feels the same! It's great that you can go down and help her out w/the kiddos. Good deal on your new toys! I love new toys!!!

Terri, I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday! Hugs and prayers!!

We went and saw Despicable Me today. Too cute! DD was totally getting in to it. Even commenting during the movie. She wanted to come home and watch it again. She doesn't get the theater/not on DVD thing yet. Depending on what's going on, if I get off in time, I might take her on Wednesday to see it again.

Got the dining room all arranged for Bunco Tuesday night. Still need to clean some but it's getting there.

Have a great night!

Good morning girls.

Getting ready to head off to work.Then I'm not sure of what I'm going to do. Lots to do but just need to figure out what I want to do first.

Jenn, I wonder what is going on with the blisters. I have some of that Aloe gel with pain reliever in it so it really helped out last night.

Terri, I bet you must be really excited. I'm wishing you all th luck there is. You will never regret this decision. I love my band. It's just that I'm in need of a fill. Good Luck tomorrow.

Kat, glad to hear you had a great weekend.

Cindy, good luck with helping out your stepdaughter. I'm sure she is going to appreciate it. Sorry that you won't have internet, that does suck.

Michelle, Have fun playing Bunco tonight. I love to play that and wish I can join a group around here. We play a few times at church.

So many of you are seeing movies. Looks like I might have to get off my butt and go check some of them out. Only problem is the popcorn, lol.

Have a great day and stay cool where ever you are. Heat index is supposed to be 115 here, yikes.

My little 10 year old next door neighbor is coming over soon. Next week she has been invited to go on a cruise with a friend and their parents and she called and wanted to know if I had any work that she could do so that she could get some money for her vacation. I'm getting my baseboards polished, lol. I've got about an hours worth of work for her. I ask hubby if he needed anything done and he said "I need my boots polished". OMG. We laughed but I told him that if he took the time to explain it to her that she would do it. I wonder what the other neighbors will be having her do. Too funny.

OH. MY. GOD!!!!!!!

Frickin' CALL me if there is a problem!!!!!!!!!

DD and I got home today to find a notice from animal control that our dogs are excessive barkers! puuuulllllleeeezzzzzzeeeee!!!!!!!

It's Dakota. And she only barks if there is stuff going on in the neighborhood. The other 2 don't bark much, if at all. Tho Reggie will bark at the deer. I'm so pissed! I have purposefully sat in the neighborhood so the dogs can't see me and have listened and there is not much barking going on. They flip out when we leave and come home and when someone comes in the driveway.

So I've got a call in to the officer who posted us so I can play nicey nice. We are working on getting a fence up on the other side of the house so I called the fence guy and asked if we could expedite this. He'll be here Wednesday afternoon to see what we need and when we can get in his schedule. But I also want to be able to tell that to the officer so she doesn't take the dogs or send us to court with tickets.

Dammit!! Just what I needed! UGH!!!

At least the neighbor on the side that the yard is going will tell us if there is a problem! We've actually asked him, even as recently as last week. He's outside all the time and he only hears Dakota once in awhile. I'll talk to him again to make sure and to emphasize to let us KNOW and we'll try to take care of it.

In the meantime, I don't know what I'm going to do. :)

      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. 💜
