Where I've been and whats been goin' on



Recommended Posts

Didn't know where to post, so here I am! LOL

First...I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for not being in lately, I've been having problems with my Hotmail account, and can't get into it. I subscribe to post that I post in and like to answer them that way..... but now I can't get into it! But I think I figured out how to change it here.

Second..... I've had to go to Memphis for work and was gone a few days and really busy with work in general. I work in retail and I guess you all know that this time of year is crazzzzzzzy! Already getting ready for Christmas!

And Third........ I hit a deer with my car saturday night!!:angry:It crunched my car! I can't drive it! I was soooo upset!:welcome:

Totally messed up both fenders, both headlights-grill radiator- hood- its a mess! And to top it off- it happend just about 3 miles from my house! So now I have no ride- it happened on the weekend so an adjuster wont be out until Monday- and I go back to work Tuesday.... I hope I can get a rental!

Oh Well..... enough whinning,.... I just wanted to let ya'll know what was going on with me.:sad0:

Glad you are back, and hope we got the notifications problem fixed.

Sorry to hear about your car. Hopefully you will get it all fixed up quickly. I feel so lost whenever I don't have mine.

At least you are still here to tell about it! I almost hit a deer once driving in the mountains of Arizona...it jumped right over the hood of my car, in the night. Really scary. Luckily not a scratch on it or me or the car.

That's GREAT news Chancie - just don't let them total it out - unless they are going to give you a fair price for it - sometimes ins. cos. don't like to do that - so fight for it if it becomes necessary!

I am glad you are ok. That could have been worse had it flipped up through the windshield. I am glad it didn't and you were not in a short car.

I love wild animals but not dodging them. I rolled a 4-Runner I owned on it's side years ago dodging a moose. I sort of rolled over into a snow puff so it didn't damage my car at all, just my nerves.

Up Date....... I'm kinda impressed with Progressive insurance!

I was coming home this morning from running errands, and I called the Auto body shop and swung by there. The Adjuster had been there Friday and gave them the OK to start the work.

$7.600.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE!!

The Auto shop said they have a good working relationship with Progressive, and they don't try to cheat you or just "glue" things, they had to order several parts.... and was all approved. So they didn't "total" it...... so maybe things will be ok. I'm hoping anyway!!

I had to use this auto body in the past and they do excellent work and don't cut corners and are honest...

They all told me it will be a few weeks, but parts are ordered and car staring to be taken apart.....

Chancie, I am so glad that you are ok. It's good to hear that things are working out in your favor with the insurance.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
