I started off alright, protien drink for Breakfast, then had a chicken breast and about 5 fries for lunch. But then Karah wanted me to cook the Cookies that were in the fridge so i cooked them. Didn't eat any until later...but ate like 4 later. Then at supper I was too tired to cook, and Karah still isn't eating yet, so gave myself and the family a corndog and fries for dinner. I know its just plain stress eating. Karah's fever still hasn't broke and we went for xrays today and it's pneumonia. So now she is on antibiotics and we are just praying that her fever breaks by saturday. Otherwise we have to call the doctor, and will probally end up at the hospital because that would mean that she wasn't responsing to the antibiotics. I'm trying to prepare and pack like I'm still going to San Fransico on Sunday...but I just don't know. Have already called expedia where we got the ticket...and there is a chance I can get about 50% of the ticket price back if I have doctors statements showing why I had to cancel. Positive news, I managed to squeeze into a size 16w jean today. Most of my jeans are still size 20, I need to buy some 18 I guess...or wait a few weeks and buy 16?

I'm going to head to bed, just plain wore out. Will try to keep better track tomorrow of the food thing....the fancy diary I bought is still in the car lol.

Please forgive me if I don't participate for now. I'm not eating right. Let me get used to exercising regularly again, and then I'll start on the quality of what I eat.

I can't do this either, so don't sweat it. For me, it's just a matter of being able to keep up with what's in front of me. I keep getting brain farts and doing the mental wandering. Aunt Flo should be here by Noon tomorrow and I'm hoping I'll straighten out after that. I have been soooooo tired and frumpy and distracted and "lost" plus I have gained 5.2 pounds in 2 days? Geez. I'll feel better when I get all my organizing done. I'm a mess! No food journaling for me right now. BUT! I love reading what you all are eating! LOL

It isn't something everyone has to do...it helps me. I keep one with at all times. It kinda lets me see how bad or good I have been. I write how I feel after I eat because sometimes it helps go back find a day that I was really full and I re create it. So no biggie....it just helps us who want to do it. So come and read and then laugh at us for be so crazy....now you have to admit you find something good that you weren't eating and get it. ;)

Yes! Actually, I see what "good bandsters" are eating and it gives me ideas. Well, except Yodels, right?! LOL

Now, writing down how I feel after I eat something would be super duper helpful for me. I can think of 4 times over the last 2 weeks I have eaten, and while I'm eating, I KNOW I'm stress-eating and I just don't care. So, am I creating the stress so I can eat? Or do I REALLY want to find another/different coping skill to replace stress-eating. AND sometimes it's not so much stress-eating, it's rebellion eating. Know what I mean? sigh.

I gotta get unfrumped. I'm working on it. Promise!

Yesterday was more stress eating I'm afraid for me. I ate a slice of ham and 2 of the Cookies (they are alll gone now thank goodness) for breakfast. At lunch I had baked fries (my excuse is that i was enticing Karah to eat) and half of a hamburger. dinner I was a little bit better I had salmon, some peas with pearl onions and a small salad. Oh...and when I had to go out to pick up Kristen at school, karah asked for and ice cream at McD's...so of course all three of us had one.

She was still running a fever as of last night, and I feel like a bad mom for even entertaining the idea of still going on my trip. The thing is....she acts like she is fine and wants to do everything thing that she normally does, she is just running a huge fever and hacking up her lungs while she does it. I've got her taken her anitibiotics, I was really the fever would be gone or at least lower by now. Currently I'm waiting on the motrien to wear off to see ifher fever comes back again, if it does I'm calling the doctor back.

Both of mine had the lung congestion illness, whatever was/is going around. Rachel actually had her lungs X-rayed and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. She responded to the antibiotics very quickly. she took Zithromax. So did Tyler. BUT! Rachel also took liquid prednisone and I think that's what did the trick. We got Tyler diagnosed early enough that he responded fine without the steroid, but it really helped break Rachel up. She's fine now, a month later, but since being back at school, the cough at bedtime has returned.

Do you have a nebulizer machine for breathing albuterol? That's been helpful, too.

Don't feel guilty taking your trip. She won't get any sicker just because you go. She'll be okay. Cute as she is, I know she's hard to leave behind when she doesn't feel her best. Make a pact with her for regular phone calls. She'll be okay. have fun in San Fran! It's okay to have a good time! Who's watching the kiddos while you are gone? That's a big factor in feeling better about leaving, right? You'll have such a nce time! don't miss this trip, Melissa!

      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. 💜

      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. 💜
