Good Morning Gang.. Well had drama last night - OMG - Joseph calls at 1 a.m. I (think) - Story he got in a fight w/friend (all do to drinking) then Melissa and the kids left - and wouldn't answer the phone -

Joseph has a tempter and drinking isn't a good thing - they did the right thing - but why are they calling me at 1 a.m. when I'm 400 miles away... Joseph wanted me to call Melissa to tell her to come home - Kaitlin calls me to tell me their side of the story- I told both of them why in the hell are you guys calling me - I can't do anything. Joseph calls back wants divorce and to move home (w/me) I said HELL FREAKING NO.. You can get divorced but you aren't living w/me.. If he came back to Indio - he would go back to his old life (drugs)..

I feel bad for being short w/Kaitlin - but what the hell - what am I suppose to do - I was sleeping so good - when i got these calls - I ended up taking the phone off the hook cuz stupid childish Joseph kept calling me..

Well - today's plan - nails - get bday present - clean closet and that's about it - got tons of t.v. to catch up on - haven't watched Greys or detorit 187 - CBL

Steph- Great advice...

So sorry for all that!! Drugs/alcohol can sure mess up your life. Too bad it impacts the whole family.

Yes, good advice, Steph.

Earl slept a little better last night but I think he's taking way too much over the counter stuff plus some meds the neighbor gave him. He's got the a/c on.... not opening any windows since we got here. I hate being shut up like that. This early in the morning, I'd love the door open. And he's had the front window covered up since we got here, too.... big foil window thing plus curtains, so I can't see out except through his window!

Took Zoey out last night though.. played catch for a while and visited a couple of neighbors who were outside that I hadn't had a chance to talk to yet. By the time we came back I had to turn on my headlights.

He doesn't want to go today. I think he needs antibiotics, so, should go today and get something... then EENT can deal with the ongoing problems on Tuesday. He feels miserable.

Zoey didn't like to be bathed at first... freaked out the first time. But now she sort of seems to enjoy it.

We went to costco and Starbucks. Earl complaining about the heat, but at least he's off the stock market and Obama!! LOL

I need to get my nails done before Friday! Where do you take your dogs? Need to ask around and see if anyone in the park does it. Zoey could use a little clip, especially around her face. And I think her nails need to be clipped again! When I play football with her she makes me fight for the ball and she uses those front paws like hands... so I have to deal with the nails!

Phyl/Janet, alll I can say is...men..can't life with them, can't kill them! It is sad that Kaitlin had to deal with her dad. Janet you did the right thing. He is way too old to be moving home. If he gets a divorce, he needs to be on his own. Besides, his wife & daughter did the right thing. If he is going to be stupid and get drunk & obnoxious then don't have to deal with it. Phyl, we have said it before, but Earl is going to do himself in with too much over the counter stuff, it is really hard on the blood pressure, kidneys & liver. But other than hog tieing him, he doesn't sound ready to go to the doc. Good luck.

Home from work, painted all day. Decided to pop up with a fever blister. Managed to drink about 1/2 c of Soup and 1/2 a bottle of Water. I may have to suck it up and go in for an unfill. I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE TOLD ME. But that doesn't mean I want to do it. I'll have to take time off work, drive 150 miles one way and back and then I know I will be hungry all the time. Maybe I'll get lucky and liquids and Xantac will do the trick.

Need to do some homework and DD from Idaho is up, so best get going. TTFN

Ya Bella's nails are sharp and her teeth too..

Good Morning

Karla I missed your post last night - a lot of times I start a post then it takes me forever to post it - and you posted - cuz this morning when I got on - I was expeciting a post from you but the thread was dead - then I get in and you did post..

I am so glad my doc is only 20 miles away - I don't know what I would have done for a doc if I had surgery in MX - as my doc won't touch you or if he did it would be $1000 a fill..

Well not much to report - I had pinto Beans for dinner - and sf ice cream - sf pudding and was in bed by 9:30 - took bella for a walk yesterday - got gym at 10 - need to color hair

Thank you for that report!!

:mad::biggrin::confused::crying::confused:

I won't pass it on to Earl. He already knows anyway! He's been whining about the heat since he got out of bed this morning. Now he's whining about how many amps we're using! Close to maxing out the circuit breaker! He took the car to the chapel this morning, I rode my scooter and basked in the sun!!

Church starts at 9:30 a.m. right now. I don't think it changes until January. Then we go to 2 services... at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., I think. Choir not starting up for a while so I don't have to go early yet. Yes, it was HOT coming back home on the scooter. I have a shade for that thing, but last year Earl forgot to bring it and I don't think he brought it this year either!

But then there are a LOT of days when it's too windy to use it.

Earl is taking a nap... my chance to doctor up the stew in the crock pot!

:biggrin::biggrin::crying:

First I'll put a little wine in it, then maybe some Greek yogurt!!

Yes, hope Linda is over her flu by now and feeling like new!

Karla... HELLO??? Steph is making popcorn today... or I guess that's kettle corn.

1041.gif

Karri... not feeling like talking right now. Sorry!

Who else is missing????

I have shows I recorded last week that I haven't watched yet, too. If I get bored with these football games I recorded, I may watch one or two! I'm recording the Seahawks now,

but it just started at 1pm and I like to FF the commercials and half time,

so I'm watching another game for a while.

Have to get a few things ready to mail, too... Photos for our grandson, Cody, CD I bought my sister, birthday card for granddaughter, Rachel... Turning 14 in about a week.

Beef stew. Didn't put the yogurt in.. forgot it is strawberry! Think I'll have some in the morning with some granola.

Because we are in an RV we get East coast and West coast feeds, so I can record two shows in the same time slot early and two more late if I want to! But that hardly ever happens. I record my favorites on the early feed and then others on the west coast feed. Our DVR holds a lot, but it's an HD DVR and we don't have HD. If we did, I'm sure we wouldn't have enough space either.

What is Detroit 187??? When is it on. I don't think I saw it on the schedule.

I did watch Blue Blood last week and liked it. But I watched The Lone Star, too... and had a bit of trouble understanding it.. but then I had to keep the volume way down because Earl was sleeping. But seems to be a young con man working with his Dad who has two lives basically... and then he decides he likes the fake one best and wants to stop conning and do the job for real. Anyone else watch it??

I really really liked blue blood - Detroit 187 is on Tues nite 10-11 I'm pretty sure or may be 9-10 it's a cop show like blue blood but set in Chicago I liked the preview... I'm getting ready to go watch it in a minute.. Then I watch on with Judging Amy - it's good too and I liked the Defenders and then Friday night something w/Jimmy Smith - don't remember the name - but again another cop/law show ...

I took a power nap 20 minutes then went to target to get some yogurt for my bf - but the whole dairy section was closed and empty - must have had a power failure - I've been eating greek yogurt (chobain) vanilla with raspberries &/or black berrier - don't know what I'll have tomorrow - since i'm out don't feel like going to Winco and i don't think they carry that brand

Well will let you know about 187 (code for murder)

      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!

    • BeanitoDiego

      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.
