Kim-Thanks for your help yesterday. Pam is the QUEEN of fills for sure! You look great and so does Stephanie! PLEASE ask Aaron (sp?)where she got that protien drink! I want to buy the store out. It was the BEST can drink I've ever had.

Yes, It is September 1st and has been a beautiful day! Things are going pretty darn good for me lately. I am feeling pretty darn happy, been seeing a guy, and I got a JOB! I have been hired at Starbucks and it feels great! I went to their open house for the one opening down from Ruby Tuesday and they interviewed me and then hired me that afternoon. I then started work the next day.

The weight loss is starting to move again. Ive been walking the girls to school in the morning and in the afternoon home. Its been nice and the crossing guard guy is absolutely adorable. We have been talking but he is too young for me. He is 24 and I am 35! Just wouldn't work lol but he is fun to talk to and look at and you can't have too many friends in this world.

I hope you all are doing great and losing weight and are happy with things in your life. I appreciate you all and wish I could make it on the 9th but since I got this job, Ive gotta work now. So I will see you next time! And I will see you Dianne on Tuesday! :rolleyes:

WOW A GUY! How cool Angie WTG! OK so does he shave hs head? Or is he gonna shave his head for you..lol...I'm so happy for you I want details I'm sure we all do!

What time on Tuesday is good for me to stop by?

Seriously maybe we all could have a sleepover party in Ashville or maybe Black Mountain which isn't to far from there and a REALLY CUTE town. I'm always game for adventure!

Lucy is home from the hospital and running around like she's been cooped up for 36 hours. Sandy was so happy to see her she right away brought over a toy for her.

I can't believe how satisfied I feel with this fill. Last few times I had a fill I was starving. I'm really satisfied right now, so we;ll see what happens. I plan on not eating mushies until dinner tomorrow night that way it's a full 24 hours on liquids.

Have a good night. Were off to Columbia first thing tomorrow morning.

I have a busy month ahead of me. My sibling is supposedly relocating from NY to Charlotte. I'm excited, but nervous for them. I am starting back at school, Chloe is in kindergarten, and Joe is going to 3rd grade (student teacher). I am hoping that we can knock out the next year or so and get on to my next career.

Take care and enjoy these wonderful sunny days!!!

Wow seems like forever since I have posted.

Karen good luck with the house. I don't even want to think about selling our.

Dianne - I am so glad that you got that little fill. A little bit goes a long way. I love the way he does them and Pamela is GREAT. See I wouldn't lead you wrong.

Angie - CONGRATS...I know you have to be happy. Sounds like you are doing great and life is looking up for you. I can't be happier for you. Keep us posted on how it's going....all the way around job and men. :rolleyes:

Melissa - I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope that they figure out what is going on. I had no idea she had problems like that. Hope your doing well otherwise. Hope the weight loss moving again don't get frustrated hang in there. We are here for you.

Ok I am sure I missing someone so just remind me and I will try to do better.

We just got home late last night from W VA. We had a family reunion and they moved my grandmother from Ohio to W Va to lay beside their dad. My grandparents were divorced many many years ago...but loved each other deeply. So grandpa's last wish before he died was to have "mom" moved beside him. So the kids kept their promise to him. It was weird becuase she had died over 20 years ago. She was very sick I think I was 10. Ok so it was rainy and nasty and cold all weekend. The high up there was like 55...HELLO it was 80 something here and 55 up there. What on earth. So my Curtis is now sick...yeah me. He had fun running through the fields and playing with distant cousins. So overall we had a good weekend.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend...and be ready for next weekend. It's lunch time....

Ok so I have been going out and reading some post out here and I have missed a lot. Wow has it gotten ugly out there on the main boards. Just wanted to see if any else noticed it. I am so glad we all love each other in here. :welldoneclap:

I've never read any of the other boards very often except the one for starting BMIs over 50. I haven't seen any of the nastiness but they were talking about it over there. PhotoNut's account says she is suspended. I hope she wasn't involved in any of that. I need to send her an email to give her some hotels for her trip to Asheville. Anyway, hope to see some of you up this way if that happens!

I can't wait until September 14! That's my first appt with Dr. Bauman.

Hi all! John and I spent all weekend painting/cleaning our house. It went on the market two weeks ago, and all the realtors that work in the real estate agency are taking a tour through it this afternoon. We're seriously hoping it peaks some interest! We'd really like to get into the new house. So, I'm so physically tired I can barely see straight! :notagree

I have a busy work week ahead of me too, and pray I don't let anything slip through the cracks!

I did get a little fill on Friday. I think I'm where I need to be now :welldoneclap: I couldn't be happier with me band!

Yeah stuff is real bad out there. In the NJ site we have all exchanged emails via PM I an going to have Kelly set up a private website for us I will PM it all to you to use incase this site goes down.

Be careful on what you click onto also because some people have had troubles and been sent to strange sites.

Tonya perhaps when you come for your appointment some of us can meet up with you.

Melissa how are you doing these days?

My fill seems to be doing well last night was my first real food. Now I have to get the head right..the hard part..

Wow, I am scared! What is going on with LBT? I love it here. Why do people have to bring it down. At least we are happy hear and not having any troubles.

Yeah the Starbucks job is going awesome. I am really enjoying myself.

Melissa! How is your daughter doing? Please keep us updated. I hope she is feeling better.

Dianne I hope I didnt miss you at Starbucks today! I was in the back for 3 hours with traning.

Ok gotta jump off of here. Open house at school in 25 minutes. TTYL!

Kristen is doing fine...we don't actually see the doctor for another 2 weeks so nothing to update. High school is something else. Socially Kristen is making friends...academically she is majorly bored...and not being challanged in the slightest. Her homework takes like 20 minutes. She spent three times that on her middle school homework and was forever not doing all of it.

Oh God, find her something to do. The WORST thing that happened to me in college was that I had forgotten how to study. My last two years of HS were CAKE, even with an AP english and bio class.

Ditto what Wavy said! I made straight A's and graduated 8th in my class in high school but I never had to study. Never. Ever. I was taking AP and Honors classes and I still never had to study and I went in to college with 15 hours credit from all my AP exams. Because of this, I did not know how to study and to this day I still do not have a degree. I keep saying that I will finish it some day, but that day hasn't come yet. I really wish I would have been more challenged in high school.

      Hey everyone!

      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. 💜
