:guess :kiss

It's 90's today I had to drink tea, I was svetsing (sp..hehe). The no drinking is because it washes food out, but I'm not hungry anyway, so if it washed it out I wasn't concerned for now.. I needed liquid. And the tea is unsweetened!

And for those who don't know Incubus, shame on you. They've been around since early 90's.. You've heard their songs if you listen to general radio.. Hope you feel special, I'm looking them up to see which songs were trendy and most people heard..

-Wish You Were Here (this is the part where I'd horribly sing the tune to someone till they go-oh yeah I know that-but since I can't, here's a blip of lyrics)

I wish you were here

I lay my head on to the sand

The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it

I'm counting UFO's

I signal them with my lighter

And in this moment I am happy...happy

-Stellar

Meet me in outer space

I will hold you close

If you're afraid of heights

I need you to see this place

It might be the only way

That I can show you how

It feels to be inside of you

How do you do it?

Make me feel like I do

How do you do it?

It's better than I ever knew

-Drive (plays on all the pop stations around here, not just general/alternative)

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear

And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear

Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before

And it seems to have a vague, aunting mass appeal

But lately I am beginning to find that I

Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

With open arms and open eyes

-Pardon Me (Like drive, I hear it on a lot of stations)

A decade ago

I never thought I would be

At twenty three

On the verge of spontaneous combustion

Woe-is-me

But I guess that it comes With the territory

An ominous landscape of never ending calamity

I need you to hear

I need you to see

That I have had all I can take

And exploding seems like

A definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of the world

I know, I sure do hog up a lot of space.. bleh. I guess I'm just the chatty kathy of the internet.

Judy~ congrats!!! that is great news. We will make him an honorary Violet! Does he have violet hair too? Fair question, might be your Shampoo, lol!

Laura~ I know Incubus! Have fun. I love concerts, I go often, used to go A LOT! Sounds like a fun filled evening. You'll be in those sexy jeans for sure!

Jennifer~ Study hard honey, IT IS ALMOST OVER! Good Luck!

I have my MIL this weekend and then my dad and step mom (parents on Sunday). Since my mom died, I've participated in Mamossa's on Mother's Day club. I won't be going this year, but that is ok...don't need the calories from the OJ and can't have the champagne:phanvan . Wishing all the Violet mom's a wonderful and happy happy happy Mother's Day!!! Enjoy yourself, relax, and smell the roses (or violets in our case).

Love ya,

Pamela

Lauraj23 - Maybe, I suppose it could be swelling. I see my doc next week and will ask him. Did it work for you? Did you try it? It didn't hurt or anything, altho' it is hard as crud to lift all my stomach over and over.

Hugs,

Aw come on LauraJ, I'll bet you've started all sorts of rumors! JK

Anyway all you Violets, I have emailed my doc, I don't want anyone hurting themselves because you read my post. WARNING!

I'll let everyone know what he says. Of course his secretary said she had never heard of that exercise hurting anything, but we'll check to make sure.

Hugs all you mother Violets and hugs to all you non-mother violets,

Michelle

Incubus? You betcha!

Anyone going to be at Dr. K's office on June 7th? I'm going for my fill. Woo Hoo! Denver here I came again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day Violets! Mothers of babies, mothers for others, and my favorite, mothers to the fur babies.

Okay Violets -

This is what my doc emailed me -

You’re doing no harm. The exercise routine sounds great, in fact. The band is inside your peritoneal cavity and around your stomach and is unaffected by exercise of any kind. Dr. Kirshenbaum

So if you don't feel restricted you might want to try it. For me, it works.

Hugs all,

Michelle

Man, I am realizing that I am not the only one with serious issues! LOL

I can't even eat different foods at the same time let alone let them touch - and always need a plate for the stuff I don't like or have to pick out.

This freaked me out.

:hungry: All those who cannot stand food touching say "Aye".

Aye here. I eat rotating my plate counter clockwise. The most content feeling is when it is just one item I am working on. Mix it up? Gads no!

I'm out of the closet now. And here I thought I was the only one with the mixing foods/funny textures/strange discolorations-means-it-goes/and I'm still obese!

You all make me feel so very much a part of a very odd family. The Abdomens Family.

Great big hug for this one. Here I thought I would damage my band or stomach. I appreciate this. Going to Dr. Kirshenbaum on June 7th for my first fill.

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
