Jane you might check into it, but I have a friend that her brother was in prison, and they could send books and other things from a company. For instance they could buy him magazine subscriptions, sent directly to him, or newspaper delivery direct to him. Even a local stationery store at the time, would send packages out from the business. They sent him art supplies that way.

Are you allowed to send him cash?

I know you don't have tons to spare-------but it is my understanding, that the more you have to "work" with inside, the better off you are.

They would send Jack (her brother) $$$ and it would go into his account.

Sorry your family is in such turmoil over it.

I was right, Rick was on a jury concerning a stolen dirt bike! Stolen from a cop. But the only "evidence" was his word, and one of the defendants turned evidence on the others, but there was nothing else.

They found him not guilty even tho they all felt he did it, there was no proving it.....

He SWEARS they picked him because he was reading a motorcycle magazine!! LOL

I am off to bed. We are having plumbing issues. Guess I will either rent a roto rooter thing tomorrow or call a plumber....see what Rick decides come morning. Going to hope it is cheap!!

See y'all tomorrow

I don't understand why he is in such isolation. Is is because they fear he is a suicide risk?

My ex was in for all kinds of crap, and he was never isolated like that.

So.. here I am..

Florida was cold & busy, my friend that got married on wednesday lost her mother on Thursday. I did have an overall good time though.......

Came back Saturday and was completely zonked out....

Back to work Monday, and ended up getting into a wreck in my truck...... Monday night and yesterday was spent cleaning my office....... Robby had a horrible day... and he goes for a med check tomorrow...

My insurance is having a hard time tracking down the OTHER persons driving info....... waiting for the police report and such..... I'm thinking the mustang was not hers and that even though she was at fault she might not have coverage........ I expect a field agent to see me today and take pics...........

I had to reschedule Cody's counseling apt due to all this craziness and the fact that my mom is going for a fill today Locally instead of Denver.... (not my doc)

Tomorrow I'm taking Uno the wonderdog to get neutered... then Friday is picking up the boys..... not sure how we are going to do this since the truck fits all 6 of us but the exploder doesn't...... POS exploder.....

Next week, I'm actually Leading a local LB support group.... Beverly (Suzie you met her at Malley's) is newly banded and has offered up her house as a meeting place.. I decided that I NEEDED to be inspirational..... so that I may get MY inspiration back..... my friend B who was up a couple weekends ago talked me into it and said I was in a funk and I needed it as much as the newbies needed me......... we shall see.

Thats about it from my world........... :thumbup:

Good Weds Morn, Dearies~~

I completed a big editing job yesterday, so now today is Clean the House Day, as I've let things slide a bit while working so hard. So much for balance!

Also, my friend (the one who's dd is in the treatment program in Utah) & her hubby are going out to see their dd, so their other dd is staying with us today - Monday... so I need to freshen up her room, super clean the kids' bathroom, etc. DS was funny... I told him I was changing the shower curtain liner cuz' she was coming and he said, "What -- the gross old one is ok for us?" Yep, guess so! lol! Isn't it funny what we do "extra" when "company" is coming?

Make it a great day!

Hi TracyKS! Glad you could join us!!

So.. here I am..

Is this all the enthusiasm you can muster? :tt1:

Things sound crazy for you but that's what we're here for, remember!! We can *ALL* relate to crazy! :thumbup: I think you'll be a great motivation to other LBers (look what you started HERE!) & I hope it'll get you kick-started into action again as well.

Smooches!

Happy Birthday Denise

Tracyks - glad to have you back

you have always inspired me more than you know

Tracyk- yup just feel like i've gained it back but 4lbs feels like 400

I am going to the st pattys parade saturday and having 1 more drinking day, then I'm done for a bit... although i don't eat when i drink and that is how i lost the 8lbs i gained (when i was not drinking and eating everything in sight) I love my wl support group but i need a banding group here.

I am going to get my passport this week, I was told i need one (that Kev thing again) and to make sure the kids have them too, and he is paying for them. I was also asked what my ring size is... i told him i didn't have a clue but had a ring next to my bed he can take... i don't know what he is up to

Good Morning Girls~

Congrats Michelle!! I need a fill too, but am waiting until after April 15th! Although I am in need...I still PB (totally my fault) about 1x week. I have too much going on to worry about it now.

Well, we made it to the gym finally this week. The first couple of days after daylightsavingstime was too painful...but today was doable. At first, I was not gonna go...then Susanne curled up next to me and said, "Why, you said you wanted to go...are you sure?" This all in coversation mode. Like I wanna talk at 4:30...so I just bit the bullet, and got up. I feel glad I did!:thumbup:

I won't be able to work out the next 2 or 3 days because of the tattoo. I am hopefully getting it finished (or close to finished...what a pain LITERALLY).

We have minimum day today..then meetings all afternoon:cursing:. Susanne is working at our school today so that is cool!

Have a great day ladies!

Hey Girls.

Woke up at 3am and hve been up since. I went to work and than did my monthly shopping at Wal-Mart. So now I'm home, everything is put away and I'm catching up on a show. When I'm done with it, I'm headed back to bed for about an hour and half.

TracyKS, I can't think of anyone who would be ebtter suited to lead a group than you. I would follow you. Heck I already have. I'm here. Tell Beverly I said hi and would you give her my e-mail. I would love to get caught up with how she is doing. I hope to see you at the meeting this weekend.

Jane, you and your family are definately in my prayers. I realize being put in prison that there is a huge adjustment that they go thru. It will be a long process for him to get adjusted plus there will be all the appeals that will be made on his behalf also. Headaches and nightmares. Send him my love and let him know he will be in my daily prayers.

Jenn, Are you getting back with Kev?????? What's the deal girl????

Pam, good girl for getting up and going to workout.

Off to bed for me now.

Ugh. Now I remember why I prefer to clean the house a little bit each day... this doing it all in one day is a CHORE! Phew! Have almost finished the downstairs & then it's upstairs...

My neighbor's dryer broke in mid-dry so I've got her stuff taking a tumble here.

Back to it! --

      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.
