Happy Thanksgiving !!

I need to go back to work - hell I had more computer time when I was working !!

Yesterday - grout got cleaned - my floor looks brand new :0) - while they where here doing that (9 a.m) I went to Target got dog food then over to Marshall's cuz I saw these towels I just LOVED !! So I got them and then back to Target to get bedspread for Andrew's room (it will always be his room) but I am redecorating it to my style/colors - purple/lavender/light green/dark green - when it's all done I'll send pics. After Target flaked on the gym as I was really really tired and have discovered that I think I have a right hip issue - my hip really doesn't hurt but I get a pain that runs from my hip to my knee - so when I get back - I guess I will get it check out..

Went and got fake tan - had a personal spray -didn't do the booth ;0) warned the lady - me naked wasn't a pretty site ;0) but you know what - it wasn't bad - she's in her 40's so it wasn't like some young ck was doing it and it is what it is and who gives a flip - I know that I look better now w/saggy skin that I did w/114 extra lbs on my body - the way I look at it the skin is my badge of honor - oh ya -

I had a Dr appt at 2 w/the clinic - Nope not getting surgery

But did get rysteline (sp - its a filler) & botox !!! They filled the bags under my eyes and the lines between the nose & mouth (this is immediate results) then botox in the forhead to give me an eye lift and help w/the crows feet & 11 - this is goint to take a while to work (about a week I think) and then got some face stuff Obagi that's suppose to help w/the texture of my skin - which is awful..

Also - The Chorpa (sp)doc just gave a body lift to Dan from the biggest loser - may have him look at my arms ;0)

I will post picture later - I do have a little burising and swelling but not bad.

My bff Kathy who I've known since 3rd grade and is Joseph's Godmother goes to this doctor and she looks great - not over done - no surgery just filler & botox - her neice is the one who cuts my hair (and the one who's mom & dad just passed away)

so I see her every month and asked who she went to- Well she called and got me squeezed in yesterday.. We will see if the kids or anyone when I go back to work notices

Well after all that then had to go to bed bath & beyond to find a shower curtain -

Didn't get home till like 4:30- Candice had called so called her back - (LOVED TALKING TO YOU ;0)

Then had to feed dogs - unload the car - put ice on my face - wash and treat it with the new stuff - hell - I didn't get on the computer at all - bet all my crops have died ;0)

Never got the lobster - so guess I will be eating lasagna today an Italian Thanksgiving :0)

Today - do the bedroom and bathroom - wish me luck on hanging curtians :0) hope there aren't to many holes in the wall..

Gotta start packing too - only 1 more day.. Weather as of yesterday in Playa Del Carmen - Rain !!! but the rain in that region- rains then the rest of the day is nice - hopefully that will be the case ;0)

Well need to get moving - I will be cking back later

;)

Well it's sure been quite here today :0)

Found something like subscribed threads - up at the top of this page it says something like watching topics - then on the home page on the right hand side it below blogs - on my computer by the weight specific lapband support groups - there is a thingie that says Watched Contents - with 2 tabs forums & topics - so I guess I will have to wait til someone post to see if that's where our subscribed threads are now going to be..

Changed out Andrew's Bathroom & Bedroom with new stuff - towels bedding etc - didn't hang the curtains - Have packed - washed - and just farted around all day - talked to everyone and then some.. Getting ready to have some seafood bisque w/scallops..

Need to go figure out bills & $$ - Tomorrow nails - toes - bank - and what ever else pops up..

Phyl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sorry I'm slow at this.

Glad you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. I did the cook athon. Had to run to the store first thing. Since I don't bake much anymore, I had no flour or sugar when I went to make the pie. Believe it or not, food was good yesterday, 100 cal yogurt for Breakfast, 100 cal popcorn, then dinner which was about 3 oz of turkey, 1/4 mashed taters with 2 tbles of gravy, 1/3 c yams (yes they had real butter and brown sugar), and 1/8 of a pie slice with homemade whip cream. I know I was over cals, but heck it was thanksgiving!!! So considering it use to be 1/4 of a pie with heaps of whipcream, I figure I did pretty good.

Candice, I love the block. you did a good job. I have never tried the mirrored images, you will have to send me the pattern.

Janet, hope you will get to post from vacation!!!

Well today I have to write my paper and get the house cleaned, etc. Believe it or not, NOW I am starting to get nervous about my surgery. Lame I know.

No Janet, I am not out shopping. I don't like crouds and I don't have the money. Having to buy a new phone kind of killed my Holiday shopping. Plus I usually make most of my stuff. Besides, this year will be lean.

Have a great post Thanksgiving day!!

So.... you leave for vacay tomorrow, right... and will be gone a week.

Are we ever going to get used to this new format??

I can't figure out if we have "subscribed threads" anymore???

Jacki is doing okay, but the chemo wipes her out.

They didn't get home from SF until almost 7pm Wed. We had dinner ready, so that was good.

We stopped at costco on the way in and got 2 rotisserie chickens, mashed potatoes, salad mix and garlic bread. Everyone pitched in yesterday.. I made the stuffing, Earl did his green bean casserole, Stan did the turkey, and I think he did the sweet potatoes. I helped Jacki make a Jello salad that was really good. Jello, package of fresh cranberries, 1 orange, chopped walnuts and a can of crushed pineapple. She had me put the cranberries and orange... skin and all, in to the food processor and blend it good. Then it all went in to the hot jello.

They ordered pies from a local bakery, but we didn't know that so we got one of those huge pumpkin pies from Costco. So far, it hasn't even been cut yet!

Anyway, Jacki is still sleeping... almost 11 a.m. And I think she is planning on going in the pool when she gets up. They're keeping it heated to about 90 because she says it helps the chemo to circulate through her body when she swims. But it's only about 40 degrees outside, so, not sure I'll join her! I think her sister is going in with her. But she went back to bed after having a couple of cups of coffee with me and she's not up yet either. The other two guys went pheasant hunting bright and early this morning and aren't back yet.

Saw your quilt on FB, Candice. Beautfiul!

Karla, surgery is Monday, right?? Will be keeping you in my prayers!

Well, think I might get out my jewelry stuff for a while.

Later, Chicks!

Phyl, my surgery is Tuesday afternoon.

Got some of the carpet shampooed, didn't do it all just the hall ways and heavy traffic areas. I can't wait until I can afford laminet floor, that is first on my list. But even if I had the $$ now, I couldn't do it. I am banned from lifting more than 10 pounds for the nextthree months. Heck my groceries weigh more than 10 pounds, it will be interesting. But I will behave, I have no other choice.

Well 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 :)

      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.
