Here are my BEAUTIFUL flowers (Thank You again!) and the rosary.... which is hard to photograph, the subtle shimmer of the crystal is hard to capture.

Terry the Rosary is beautiful, and a great memento!! My mom bought a fabrige (sp) egg from the hospital when her dad died, and she keeps it in her china hutch. Some sort of trinket to hold onto, to remind her of him.

I had another bizarre dream about you guys last night. We all went on a trip to somewhere foreign, no one spoke english and the street/city was dirty much like NYC. We got rooms at this cheap cheap hotel, that was SO CHEAP, the hotel beds were like in a community area, but on platforms.. with no railings.. and we were on the 3rd floor (outside).. and you had to actually jump from platform to platform to get to your bed. Well, somehow Tracy W. and someone else (I couldn't for the life of me figure out her room mate, I was trying to find them to swap) got a private room, which involved no platform jumping. But I told you all I was going to go shower and I'd be back down, I ended up spending (dream) hours sitting on the edge of a platform bawling my eyes out.. I am terrified of heights and I could not get myself to jump to the platform with my bed on it (not to mention suitcase in tow). So I kept trying to figure out who Tracy's room mate was, and see if I could just stay in their room or use their shower, or swap. Never did get it, so I was just miserable on a platform, while I heard you guys partying outside. THEN suddenly we were at Pam's house.. and Pam's house, you had to walk down 2 flights of stone stairs into a dark area, where there was a bellhop at the bottom (a pretty lady with a white ballgown on), then you had to CLIMB a wall to get to her house. I cut my hands up and fell a few times. I had to pee really really bad, so I asked Pam where the bathroom is (she had a huge mansion ya'll!) and she leads me way far away and I'm bouncing because I really needed to pee, and she opens a door to a bathroom that was literally only big enough for the toilet. So I could not go in, could not close the door, and I'm peeing my pants by this point (luckily I did not pee myself in reality).. so I ask if there's any others.. so she takes me forever away again, into a new bathroom, and some reason that didn't work either but I don't remember why.

Then we did luge sledding right outside of her house.

Weird huh? That's what coca cola cake does for you..

Pregnancy dreams are always wild!!! I remember Manda coming in full of wild tales. Rick's southern family roots, make discussing a dream before you have eaten Breakfast bad luck. So she had had a particularly wierd, bad dream and he told her that one morning, and she just burst into tears. In hind sight it is funny, at the time I was ready to throttle him!!! I keep waiting for the beaver or Abe Lincoln out of those dream commercials to show up in Laura's dreams!!!

Terry, you outdid yourself. The rosary is beautiful, and I believe the shimmer in them to be your love shining through---I am so proud of you for having the composure to think of something so personal and being able to produce it in such a loving fashion. ((((hugs)))))

My eating too is suddenly out of control it seems!!! I am not hungry so to say, but being able to eat again without the nausea, makes me think I should!! LOL I have cinnamon rolls for Kinsey for breakfast, and I know I cannot eat them ---well more than a single bite without it being TOO MUCH----has always been that way!!!

Well Becky come by and my post was delayed!!! She and her sister, and her Mom and her Moms sister are all headed to San Antonio tomorrow!!! I was invited.....and would have had a great time with Becky----but not interested in spending much time with the rest of them!!

True to form....3 bites of cinnamon roll, and I am full probably for the day! OMG!

Well I am going to post this before something else comes up.

Gotta get my Violet fix thing taken care of first thing!

Oh yeah Michelle, when I read the beginning of your post about your DD being sick, I expected you to say that you stepped in Mo poop!!! LOL

Some cool names Lunasa, but if Russell wants something more everyday, I don't see him liking them!!! Men....!!

BBL~~

Damn, now the secret is out about my bellhop who wears a ballgown in my mansion w/ a tiny bathroom! :crying: Laura, that was too funy!

Terri~ I LOVELOVELOVE the rosary! Sending you a pm now!

Kat~ Susanne is going to join a softball league at the end of Sept or end of Oct (cant remember which). I dont play (cosmetic dentistry). She is glad and went and bought stuff this weekend for it!

Back to work...thanks again for the giggles Laura. I love dreams, they are usually soooo silly! I wake up @ 5am and go straight to the shower. I usually am standing in the shower thinking to myself, "what the hell was I just doing/thinking or saying?" Then I remember it was a dream!

hahahah

I hope Macy, Robbie and Jenn's Ds(do we know his name?) get gold star stickers today!

Terry, I know that your Mom is very proud of you and your work shows your love for her. That is just to beautiful.

Laura, I like the name Lily Roisin. That is a vry pretty name. My cousin just named he little girl, Kildarie Rose. Very Irish.

Jenn, I was going to hang right in there with you but today is my day off and I don't workout, it's a relax day. But tht is one thing I don't do. We have been busy all morning long. I'm doing great on my eating and I'm pouring Water down my throat like crazy.

TracyKS is right. It's cold here today. I've had a light jacket on all morning. It's finally stopped raining. Good Bye Gustav. Just need to sun to come out now.

The Hospital was very busy last night. I don't think they have an empty room. I wonder if something is going around. Hope the flu season doesn't start early this year.

Have a great day.

Quote for the day:

"Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her."

So - if you give her crap, you will receive a bucket full of shit.

LOL Suzie! I like that.

I found this in the lounge area, in case you girls don't go there I had to repost it for you--

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as

Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as:

NBA 5.0,

NFL 3.0 and

Golf Clubs 4.1

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate.

-------------------------------

DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0update.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember that overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1

Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend:

Cooking 3.0 and

Hot Lingerie 7.7

      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 :)

      2. BabySpoons

        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.
