Hello Ladies.

I've been AWOL. Not even lurking, believe it or not. Seems that that stupid fun farm on FB is taking up most of my time. But that all stops tomorrow. Getting high speed installed. Expensive, but worth it. (really did some fast talking to the bird here). Can't wait.

Ruby, I am so glad you came back. I have really missed you. Everyone here is really supportive, but I really felt a connection with you. I mean, hey, Your posts could have been mine. It's kind of scary to see my thoughts and issues posted by someone else.

Karla - If you have an old style band, mine must be from the stone age. It's a 10cc but hey, it works. Okay, my fill doctor does fills every four weeks if needed. As for liquids and mushies, I asked him about it and he said no it wasn't necessary. Just eat what I could, so I've never done anything different.

Oh darn!! I know there was more I wanted to post, but I can't remember it. I need to get my head on straight and drop these 10 pounds before Canada. Been thinking of doing that 3 day pouch thingy but don't remember how it goes. Help!! Oh yeah, Janet. My exersize bike is a recumbant bike. It is so much easier on the knees than a regular bike. I've trying to get DH to put a new tire on my real bike and I'd ride with him but he won't. Tells me to ride DD's bike. Then I'd know if that kind of bike works for bad knees too. I'll let you know. Only a few more weeks and then it's summer, Karri. Then, watch, six weeks into it, you'll be chomping at the bit to get back to the classroom. (right)

Okay, since I don't get high speed till tomorrow, I've got to go do some farming. It'll probably take me the rest of the night to finish. So, have a great night and I'll see you all (or most of you) over on Facebook.< /span>

Oh you will miss him!!! But I can totally see why your angry about the ticket. Will you make him pay for it from his own money????

I added another 140 cals to today. I am having a Fiber One Bar before going to bed... so I can, you know ... in the morning :crying:

Yep and he paid for the last one too.. This is bs he need to slow his little A$$ down - He know's I am pissed - he can't stand it when I am pissed at him- it's too funny on that front..

Who knows if he will move - but I think it would be good to get out of indio and he would at least be by his dad - well living with them - til they get in a fight... Time will tell on that one... I would like him to - now that his dad is sober I think it would be good for both of them... but DS has a temper and so does GS - we will see - I can see it now - Mom Andrew is this or that - Lala Dad is this or that ...

I finally got some 'food' down. Managed to 'eat' 1/2 cup of watery oatmeal without pain. Have gotten 2 emails back from Chris, the fill doc in kalispell that I am going to next time. He is offering me Saturday fills if I can't make it in during the week. He also wanted me to know that he is available anytime if I have questions. He also talked about my postfill diet, saying what you all did, take it slow and don't push the solids. He did ask me what I thought about Dr. Rohrer and I told him, but I also said to take what I said with a grain of salt in that I was pretty nervous. Chris said he appreciated my honesty and looked forward to working with me. I'll only need a couple of days notice for a fill appointment.

See you all tomorrow!

Okay ladies, you all must be living the life of leisure, still in bed. Okay, not all of you, I imagine Karri is already at work. this darn LBT is starting to make me almost late for work. I 'have' to be there at 7:30, but I usually get there before 7:00, but lately I don't get there until a few minutes before 7:30.

I feel much better today since I was able to get some calories in last night. I even went to quilting, I haven't been lately, there is always some ooey, gooey desert. Last night it was lemon cream pie, didn't even think about having any. Had it been chocolate, I might have had a taste of chocolate... well actually not.

Today I woke up skinny, okay not skinny, but less fat. I imagine it is because I didn't get my Water quota in yesterday, but I could actually 'find' my ribs. They still have insulation on them, but at least I could find them.

You guys need to tell me about this 'farming thing', I could get into that. Maybe you shouldn't until school is out.

I suppose I best go and get ready, can't think of a thing to wear, to warm for jeans, too cold for a skirt. Plus there is the leg hair issue. Since I don't have someone to snuggle with, other than Miss Molly my doxi, I need the leg hair for insulation. Probably could braid the stuff and start a new fashion trend. Hummm, how grossed out I could make 7th graders...

I'm out of here, chat to you all later.

Good morning ladies! I'm leading a life a leisure Karla. I can't deny it. I'm actually up and moving much earlier today. Maybe that is why I can't seem to lose any pounds.

I have a funny pain in my back today. It's right where my left kidney is I imagine. It only hurts when I move though...so it's not a kidney problem. Just a funny pulling sensation.

Need to get a bunch of stuff done today. Make suckers, clean house, edit my speech, get to the flower shop. I know there is more.

I have a question for anyone who used it. I have 2 big jars of Unjury that a friend gave me. I need to start using them or they will go bad. They are about to expire. The problem is that they don't have a "scoop" and the directions say add "1 scoop". I have no idea how big a scoop is supposed to be. If anyone has used it and has a scoop, will you measure it and compare it to a 1/4 cup for me. You don't have to be exact, but if you could, I'd appreciate it.

Karla, glad you got some calories in. It is so important. Without around 1000 you tend to get run down and frustrated. It's got to be wonderful to feel your ribs again! Just wait until you have hip bones. It was the most amazing thing I had happen.

I'm staying away from the farming on FB. I don't have the energy to be addicted to something else. I just can't do it! I have to stop. I keep hearing about all this farming and it makes me tired just thinking about it. besides, I'd go broke being a farmer. I know it.

Off to FB and then to get stuff done. Have a great day ladies! Talk to you tonight.

Farming is funny - it really doesn't take that much time :0) depending on the crops you plant - You guys gotta try it - I will send you invites - trees don't go bad if you don't harvest them in a certain amount of time but your crops will - I'm up to level 14 have $50K+ heck Phyl started after me and she's at level 17 I think - but again she has more time than me :0)

Nichoel who use to post here is like a lever 26 :) she has a beautiful farm..

Steph I would say about 1/8 of a cup is a scoop - it seems like it was a big scoop - I have a scoop for my Jay White Protein just looked at it it says 80 cc national measure on the scoop and you know what - I would change that to 1/4 of a cup - it's a big scoop..

Karla - your new doc sounds wonderful...

- No much to report - HAPPY THAT KRIS is in the final 2 of Idol - think we should all vote for him !!! Don't get me wrong Adam is great - but he will make it without Idol - I love Kris's sweetness and they kind of music he sings - I can't say I am a big rocker chick..

Well back to the grind -cbl :)

No...I was not up this morning. Couldn't get my hiney out of bed. I was exhausted. Still am.

Kari - I will NOT be chomping at the bit to get back in the classroom. Maybe if I get to go full time at the charter school...but not if I have be at the high school AND the charter school. While it will allow me to support my running habit...I don't know when I am going to find the time to actually run.

Well we are going on a 32 mile hike this weekend. It is supposed to be 86 degrees here and I have been anxiously awaiting to really get out in the weather and move. So we are going to travel about 2 hours north of here and then walk into the wilderness. I, however, will not camp without a tent. DH says to just throw a pad on the ground and sleep under the stars...Umm..NO. I don't want any bears sticking their tongues up my nose. I need to have that 1/100 of an inch piece of nylon between me and the wildlife. I love nature...I DON'T love wildlife!!! Then there is the Water issue. DH says that we can just purify water with the little tablets that you can buy...UMM...NO!! I don't drink fish pee. So...it is a good thing that I am in good shape because I have to haul my tent and extra water because I am a "pansy".

Well I must get ready for next period so I had best get off my butt and get it ready.

OMW - you were busy - You leave Saturday - 1 week ...

I had a small lite mocha frap with extra shot of expresso after work yesterday - i needed the lift :0)...

I thought Thomas's parents where going - who's going to ck on the kids while you are both gone :0) Isn't someone else going on the cruise with you??

No, Thomas' parents have three little ones. I invited them because they wanted to do something special for their 20th anniv, which was last Dec. but they couldn't work it out. Other DD & SIL are going on their own cruise Sat... Greek Isles! Wish we were going there! They're sightseeing in Venice until then. Four people from our church are going with us.

I am getting really jealous about all of these trips you guys are taking. I'm going to Vegas in a couple of weeks, but that just doesn't sounds as wonderful as Europe, cruises, or BOTH! I need to convince Jeff we can afford a cruise. Honestly, I would LOVE that. Maybe once he feels better about his weight.

On that note, he's been pretty good about food. The problem is that we don't have a scale that will weigh him accurately and he doesn't want to go to the docs office to weigh in each week. He says that doesn't matter but I think it would inspire him. Okay...time to go. Talk to you later.

According to Norwegian website, this cruise can be booked last minute now for $299 for inside, $399 for ocean view and $599 for balcony. So tell me why agent wouldn't give me an upgrade when I called to ask last week...and I referred four other people to him!

Farming is funny - it really doesn't take that much time :0) depending on the crops you plant - You guys gotta try it - I will send you invites - trees don't go bad if you don't harvest them in a certain amount of time but your crops will - I'm up to level 14 have $50K+ heck Phyl started after me and she's at level 17 I think - but again she has more time than me :0)

Farm game is fun, but extremely addicting! I'm always trying to make my farm (and Earl's) prettier, and saving money for upgrades! We like this stuff because of our addictive personalities, but I guess there are worse things we could be doing!

I don't particulary like Adam and was hoping finalists would be Kris and Danny!

      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

      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.
