Ladies, I'm on for tomorrow as well. I stayed on track except a mini size ben and Jerrys, got to say for 280 cals it was NOT worth it! Made me feel like crap too. I hope I can learn something from that!

Wow, gotta say ladies, more than a little hurt that nobody commented or showed any interest/concern, even though you keep saying hope everyone's okay!

I posted that my FOB was attacked, and that it was pretty scary, and that's why I hadn't been up on the boards, yet the very next post after that just coasted on by, like I hadn't said anything ...

Like I said in the post, google "attack on Ghazni". It was terrifying.

As for my food and 5:2, every day has been a fast day since the attack, I'm rationing out my horded cans of sardines and Protein Shakes.

Sorry Globe I did not see your post about an attack. I really do hope that you are OK and that there were no casualties.

I use an ipad to read my posts and I think if a post comes near the bottom of a page it is easy to be missed. I'm sure no one here would deliberately ignore you or your predicament. I did go back and look for the post and even after reading it it was your medical condition that stuck out and not the attack, sorry.

It must be hard for you to concentrate on any eating plan when you are surrounded by so much turmoil and I take my hat off to you for your persistence.

Glad you are safe.

Oh crap, Globey!!! I saw that post but totally didn't catch that it was an ACTUAL attack -- I thought you meant you had a tummy "attack" that resulted in diarrhea, thought the Google thing was about whatever your health problem is!! OMG, I can't believe ATTACKED as in ATTACKED!! Now I'm freaking out...! Are you okay?? That is effing SCARY as s**t. {{{{{{{{{{MANY MANY HUGS}}}}}}}}}}

I'm sorry I misunderstood and seemed like I didn't care, cos I DO. I just didn't even twig the first time I read that. :(

Let us know how you're doing, sweets. Will you get some help with working through it at all?

PS: What is FOB?

I didn't see it.... what the heck, I know I miss a post now and then, What a shock that must have been! Really I cant even imagine what that must have been like, take care of yourself Globe! While traveling I drove by a meadow where a bunch of people were standing at the edge and watching something, I looked over and saw a bunch of people.... I later (down the road) was told that was a boarder skirmish going on and people had been killed... It looked like "practice" to me... My mind could not wrap around the reality. (Thai boarder)

Massive attack yesterday, been in hiding. Just Google "Ghazni PRT attack".

Don't know if it is hiatal or umbilical. All I know is that everything I eat gives me excruxiating diarrhea.

Oh GT, I owe you an apology! I'm so sorry. My brain scatters sometimes between here, FB, my blog, food tracker site, emails, and I did see that you asked us to google something and my mind filed it in the "later" category and then I'm embarrassed to say I forgot. Also I was confused because you were speaking about two separate things but my mind thought they were related. (Attack where you are stationed, and then attack of diarrhea...related to a possible hernia?) Please forgive us for not seeing/commenting etc.

Sometimes I come here and skim through 6 or 7 responses and I'm too lazy to click "multiquote" and then find the breaks in between each quote and type my response and I'm also too lazy to go back up and re-read 7 responses, so my mind tries to grab something and hold on to it so when I start typing I can just address those things that my mind grabbed onto.

Thank you for pointing out that we overlooked your post...can you please give us an updating how you are doing on all fronts?

OMG this is horrible. To have been in that situation is very traumatizing. How are you doing? It's sad how in an instant our whole world can change around us.......Is there anything we can do to help you....? My prayers are with you and the others there.

Sorry globe.... Really sometimes I can be dumb as a stick!

Really in reading this I thought PRT attack was so thing to do with the hernia you were also taking about :(

As a civilian I also do not understand terms like

FOB???

I am really sorry too Globe. I just got my computer back . I've been borrowing one which I hated to use and so I was skimming around and missed that post too.

I don't know what FOB is either.

Is there anything we can send you?

Done for today, came in a 472. The morning was a challenge after the high life I was living all weekend! :P but I made it. Weight seems to be holding steady this weekend even after the indulgent behavior...

Yay! Georgia on the 100 mile challenge!

      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. 💜
