Grrrrrrrr Me and the little missy are going to be chattin sooooooooooooon!

Good Morning,

Things are still looking better, DB had a bad spell yesterday morning, but improved again in the afternoon. I talked to my other Aunt and she and her DH are doing better.

I want to thank you again for being there with your thoughts and prayers.

Hugs to you all!

I finally broke down and made an appointment with my doctor for my foot tomorrow. Boy, it hurts like heck no matter what I do!

I just got back from my Austin trip!

We had a great time! Went to eat at our fave places (all Tex-Mex), walked around the UT campus, which looks kinda the same in places, 'and really different in others, bought some t-shirts, and then went to my retirement counseling thingie...swam at the pool, and just generally had a blast! We think we'd better do this each summer...so nice to just be girlfriends, no kids, for a couple of days!

I've got to take DD to her voice lesson...BBL!

Hugs, Cindy

Nothin' much going on...I'm just doing some small organizing tasks around here...going to my sister's for a fish fry on Sunday night. It is too dry to sneak any fireworks, way too dangerous for fire hazards, so I imagine we'll cook some hot dogs and call it fun!

What's everybody else doin'?

Late day from work but, WGIF! Tonight we took the dogs for a nice walk and met a few neighbors (been here a year and barely know anyone...sometimes that's a good thing lol) and DH is putting some pork chops (I can't eat em I get stuck) on the grill and some steak (lets see if I can get that down). I've got broccoli steaming and potatoes on the grill yummmm. Then we're taking a dip in the pool. (Did ya know goldens love to swim lol)

Tomorrow I have a Lap-Band friend coming over with her fiance (they just got engaged) and we'll be grilling again and maybe hit Providence Waterfires late on.

Sunday....DH has a company cookout and it's our 1 year anniversary. I'm making the peach crisp I made at Dream Dinners. Heh heh already put together I just have to bake it lol. Hopefully I won't get stuck while I'm there. Then it's home and back to work on Monday. My group is the only group working. Everyone else in the company has the day off. UGH. So 15 of us working out of 100 employees but, we have to do it because the client is closing the books.

Ohhh the employee that has caused me grief with the deposits unbalance....well company rule is business casual and she decides to wear flip-flops. Oh yea...I've got a brain. So I had to tell her it's specifically states in her employee handbook that flip-flops are a no go even on casual days UGH. PLUS she calls in the next day to tell me she's going to be late. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Did I mention the gal lives about 15 mins away?

Oh well.....going to enjoy the beautiful weather today for a change! Maybe take a ride on the bike too hee hee.

Happy 4th of July my friends. (My favorite holiday for this patriotic gal)

Hi Ladies!

Sorry I haven't been around in a while. This week was craaazy at work! I barely had time to pee most days BUT I did make it through the crunch time, so now I can stop and breathe. pheww! I too am looking forward to the long weekend. I have a couple cookouts to attend and then other than that I hope to hit the beach at least once. I still need to get over to see Sherry's new puppy! hmmmm........

So I had another date on Saturday night. This was a second date, not with the smoker, but with another guy who was...how shall I say it...hyper. He was cute though, so I figured I'd give him another shot. Oh man oh man the second date was awful!! It was painful. lol It was like pulling teeth to find something to talk about. And honestly, I could talk to a wall so that says something. lmao. The worst part - when the check came I offered to pay (I always offer) and he let me without any arguement. Now I will say that I have no problem paying and when I'm dating someone, I do insist on picking up the check my fair share of times but c'mon, on the second date?! At least put up a fight and make me insist. lmao. Oh well. At least I was able to dodge the good night kiss.

Oh, I was able to schedule my first appointment this week. I couldn't get a morning appointment until August 7th. :phanvan I could have found an earlier appointment, but I want to try not to use full days off for every appointment since I figure I'll be at the doctors a lot more than ususal. I think I have 13 days left this year, so between my week off for surgery and other doctor appointments, I think I'll be cutting it close. My hope is to have the surgery in September or early October if I have to. I get real busy at work in November & December, so I want to be well healed and adjusted by then. I am looking forward to starting this journey!

Well that's it for me tonight. I'm exhausted from this week! :bored Time to watch some tele.

Happy 4th everyone!

Chris

A time to reflect on what our military members have done to help us gain our Independence - From years and years ago to our current history in the making.

I'm sending a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to each and every person who has served and is serving in the military to keep our Country Free. America is what it is today because you gave - Some gave all and all gave some. Hugs and Best Wishes to you all! You make me so proud to be an American. God Bless!

Happy Independence Day to all my friends at LBT. Love you!

Good Evening all....

Ok.. Our weekend was just wonderful. We left our home about 2pm Friday and headed South. I kept trying to figure it out, but when we got off the highway in Miami... I knew.

He booked a rooom in South Beach about a block from the Versace mansion. It was great. A hotel that had been in operation since 1939, but had been redone in real art deco in 1999. Even thought I was only an hour from home, I felt like I was a million miles away.

Including the nude sunbathers! LOL

I will catch up on personals another day... I'm exhausted. Work tomorrow.

kisses,

      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. 💜

      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!
