well, have not done much of anything today. Everyone is gone except for me and ds so ... I did 1 load of laundry, made some turkey meatballs (they are still in the oven) and a crock pot of black bean/sausage Soup. I, of course, am doing the shake diet for the rest of the week to drop the 4lbs I gained over the weekend with tom and my deep depression. I was not good.

But , since my eating habits have changed I realize my skinny dd is a junk food junkie! So, the meatballs are for her for something she can have high Protein, even if she puts them on a roll with some low fat cheese, better than what she normally does. As for the soup, mom loves it so I'll be lucky if there is any left, but it is very healthy and high protein. I usually eat a small salad with tuna when I do this so my soup would be good, entered it on the calorie site and it was 350 ish cals and 24g protein so that is a good dinner.< /p>

today i made my shake with some Miralax in it, i hope it works but not too good. LOL Usually when I do shakes I have issues so I don't want to have one this time.

tmi... sorry

well i'm off to shower, it is so cold here, hopefully the oven will help warm the house up.

Hey Gals...

Waaaah. :)

Just got back from a 2-hour coffee w/my friend who's hubby surprised her w/ "I don't love you, I want a divorce" on her birthday... what a mess! I'm so sad for her & her kids. I guess you just never know.

Aw, that's not true.. my husband is only a dick when he drinks alcohol.

But that is horrible, I would be so distraught!!!! I don't know what I'd do if hubby did that to me now, and we're newly married and no kids.

Michelle - Y'know....I've been on this earth for a long time and I've seen and heard about guys like that all my life. But I have to say, without a doubt, that this guy wins the Dick of the Year Award. And if he's that much of a dick, GOOD RIDDANCE. I hope you told her to get herself a very good lawyer right away. There are many things she will need to do with great haste to protect herself and her children.

Yep. Dick of the Year. Hands down.

Ok, maybe I am too tight. I've been trying to suck it up until I lose more weight and the fill reduces.. but gah.

Stomach been growlin, I'm soo hungry. We went to TGIFridays.. he got a sicillian quesadilla thing. I picked at the inside of one of them (cheese & bacon & ham I guess).. and then I got stuck. Bad stuck, on such a little amount. I had to run to the bathroom (throwing up in my mouth). And right by the bathroom was a table of some FINE lookin guys hehe.

So I go in, empty restroom (thank goodness), and I barf for a bit.. go back to the table. I order a coffee to try to loosen me up. I sip the coffee, and instead of loosening me up, it's BUILDING up. Ran again to the bathroom (this time conscious that it looks like I keep running to the bathroom, I must have diarhea!!). Hot guys still there.

Some girls in there, but they were walking out, whew. Vomit vomit, lots of coffee, and LOTS of slime.

I go back to the table. Then all of a sudden I'm NAUSEATED. It's not the golf ball, slime, spit up.. but actual nausea. Run to the bathroom again, mouth watering. Hi hot guys, yes I have diarhea!

I threw up more slime, and then.. a HUGE BUBBLE. It came out whole, about 6inches in diameter!! It must have formed inside and that's what made me nauseated--because that was a first for me.

Husband got my food to go (medium rare 6oz steak mmm) and we came back to work. Been here about an hour, and I'm still throwing up. Think I'm going on liquids this time, this is the worst I've ever felt from my sliming episodes. Normally they only last until I throw up whatever. I didn't eat this much, only 1tbsp of food, and then 1/2c of coffee.. but I sure am finding things to throw up.

Darnitall, my next appt. is Oct 22 and I think I'm going to ask for a little defill. I just KNOW.. mark my words, Oct. 24 I will be in here complaining about how unrestricted I am and I knew I shouldn't have done it :)

Thanks for the supportive words, girls... yes, he's obviously got some serious mental crap going on... & she is such an amazing, stong, creative, beautiful woman, that I know that sooner than later she will be glad he is gone & probably better off than before... and yes I told her that, and more...

Actually, I thought about the Vi's during our conversation... she is an amazing Tuscan chef and her mother owned & ran a very popular B&B in Martha's Vineyard for years & now owns a villa in Tuscany, and her brother is a "famous" chef w/his own popular restuarant in NYC... well, they may be teaming up to do cooking/sightseeing trips to Tuscany and I thought THAT"S what the Vi's could do! A luxurious, pampering, educational vaca to Tuscany!! It's a thought!

Laura... I think that's the worst PB episode I've ever heard of!! I think you're right to go on liquids for a day or so... how strange!!

...........Hi hot guys, yes I have diarhea!...................... Been here about an hour, and I'm still throwing up.

Laura - I am so sorry!! But I have to say that the hot guys thing made me LOL big time. The other thing is that my docs orders are to call, day or night, if vomiting continues for more than 4 hours. Do you have an emergency number to call just in case?

That reminds me of a story I never told ya'll...it was kind of like Laura's except that I was with my in-laws (unknowers) and we were at a country club for Breakfast. I got HORRIBLY stuck on scrambled eggs. I got to the bathroom for the 2nd time with a mouthFUL of saliva and ran to the stall....I'm spitting and hockering and coughing bad. This goes on and on for at least 5 mins....then I hear noise from the stall next door!!! :) I thought the bathroom was empty!!! I apologized profusely and said I didn't realize she was in there. She meekly said, "Are you okay???" I said, "Yes, I'm fine." I'm sure she thought I was bulimic or something. I was mortified!

You know, when I was vomiting in the restroom, by the 3rd time I didn't check if it was empty since I was nauseated, but I thought.. someone is going to think I'm bulimic in here.. and I told myself.. if I walk out of this stall and someone is looking at me crossed eyed, I'll go "Do I LOOK bulimic to you?!" lol.

LOL...on another thread right now everyone is saying how people mistook them for pregnant----this is one time you might be able to use that excuse!!! My niece was that way smells made her sick---everytime a waitress would walk by with something she would run for the bathroom, for minimally the first 7 months!!!

Well my DD is on her way over to get the kiddo, and a friend of hers who used to rent from us, a very sweet girl is bringing her 2 DD's over to visit. One of them is a new baby, Kinsey is so excited. So was I until I found out she is bringing her sister, a bully smart ass that none of us like---now I am just wondering how quickly I can get them out of the house!!! Hate being put in that position! She called me to say she was running late, that as soon as her sister dropped her off she would head our way---we were excited & happy, then 5 minutes later she calls to see if her sister can come----yeuck!!!!!

they are here bbl

I just had a thought....could it be your Iron pills? ? Prolly not, but if you took it right before your coffee, it might be!

I didn't take my Iron pill today. Would it have effected me from yesterday?

I felt fine last night.

Oh and more drama with my sister.. she had her lab follow up this morning, as of last Friday she felt better, we thought it was all going good. But today they said her pnemonia is getting worse, and she is now anemic (how ironic is that??).

So.. back on antibiotics, and they told her not to go back to work for another week.

And I found someone on craigslist that is coming to take my couch YAY!

      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.
