Dear Son,

Thank you for dropping my Bath Bomb from Lush in the toilet while you were trying to go potty and then fishing it out and throwing it on the floor. It fizzed out and made the most wonderus mess.

Love,

Your always surprised mother

Dear Second born child of mine,

Please stay out of Mommy's Chistmas card making tools. I have asked you at least 45 times to not touch these things. When I hide them up high it is to keep you out of them, not to encourage you to refine your climbing skills. I understand you think glitter is pretty, but cleaning it from every surface of our house is not worth the dazzle that you get from it. Also thank you for using my Water color pencils to tattoo yourself instead of the sharpie markers you used last time. The clean up was a breeze.

Love,

Your tired of cleaning the house Mom

This one is too funny!

Here's another one:

Dear sweet five year old daughter:

Thank you for spending time with me making cards and painting hand-made christmas ornaments for your friends. You did a great job of helping me put candies in the treat bags that you gave to your friends at kindergarten. The way you spent hours painting them gave me great happiness and also gave me lots of pictures to scrapbook later on.

To the parents at the school:

I can't understand how 99% of you never took the time to thank us for our generosity to your children.

To the parents of our neighbors who live two doors away and whose daughter was bffs with my daughter until she started picking on her:

Thank you for NOT thanking us for the treat bags. It is even more appreciated when I asked your seven-year old if she got hers and she replied "uh-huh". The values you fail to instill in your children - politeness, consideration for others, and many others, baffles me. Next year when Valentine's Day, and easter comes, I will remember to NOT give you any treats, you rude inconsiderate impolite (morons) people. I will also make a point to ignore your three year old, who you refuse to properly supervise, when he runs throughout the neighborhood and almost gets hit by a car, as it has happened many, many times before, and you still refuse to install a lock on your doors to prevent him from getting outside in the first place.

Also, to their mother, thank you for spending all of your time in the house cleaning, rather than outside supervising your children. The many times that they have almost (or hit) my husband's car, or dug up my front yard, or ganged with the local mentally-challenged foster teenager to pick on my five year old daughter is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Oh wow Secretstolen,

I am so very sorry that happened to you.

You are justified in being incredibly angry and hurt.

However, I would highly recommend you NOT post pictures of him on the internet. It could get back to you and you never know if he would charge you with harassment and defamation of character.

Again, I'm very sorry this happened to you. Please know it isn't a reflection of you as a person. He's a loser, a pathetic loser.

How cute is that?

At nearly three Zoe took red lipstick and colored her entire body, legs, palms, chest, then the carpet and proceeded to walk up the stairs holding on to the wall for stability to show me how beautiful she was!

It looked like a scene from a crime. I was so horrified I didn't take pictures. The lipstick eventually came out of the carpet, and Zoe was stained for a good week.

Cute.

BTW, save your letter to scrap! Too adorable.

Dear Juli,

Thanks for putting your health first this past year. Thanks for making hard choices about what to eat and how to work out. Thanks for doing the research and really incorperating fitness and wellness into your daily living.

Also, Juli thanks for seeking out those people who support you and keeping them close. It's the ones who say all the right things you need to be near.

I know it's a small thing, but I'll do my part in regulating your systems, keeping the heart beating and the lungs breathing and I'll also give you some flexibility and stamina you never knew you had. I'll put a little wiggle in your step, you know just cuz, as a little bonus, because all of this work has me looking better and feeling better than I have in years.

I'm looking forward to 2008 because I know it is only going to get better.

Dear you know who you are--

You will no longer hurt me. I gave away much to much of my life to the uncontrollable fear you have caused me. You took something away from me that was not yours to take. You took my innocence, my childhood, my dreams. I am taking them back.

You were the mean evil pig, not me. It is my turn now. I will no longer hide from love, I will be the best Mother ever. Despite what you did to me. You will no longer break me.

My time is now. I will forgive you, not for you, but for me.

My dearest darling Diva

Thank you for the beautiful necklace you gave Mommy for Christmas. It means more to me than you will ever know. I know you didn't have to spend any of your bithday money on me, let alone all of it. Thank you, Diva. You are one of the best children a mother could ask for.

Thank you to God for sending us you 7 years ago, and keeping you safe after your birth. I thank him because he gave you back to us, it was too soon to see you go.

This will always be the best present I ever got!

Love

Mommy

Dear unborn child of mine.

I can never express how sorry I am that I never gave you the chance to be born. I was only a child myself, and didn't fully understand that what I was doing would haunt me forever. As a Christian now, I know that God forgave me, but it's much harder to forgive myself. I hope that someday we will meet, and that I will be able to see how beautiful you are in heaven.

Love,

Your regretful mom

travelgirl, I wept when I read this. I am sorry for your pain. Please know that we all make mistakes and you need to forgive yourself. You can't go back; you can only go forward and learn and teach others.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜
