Finally back. DD#3 leaves this morning, but DD#5 is here for another week. Felt crappy all day yesterday and just got done vomiting. I'm so sick of this. I vomited up black stuff this morning, hope I haven't given myself a bleeding ulcer or something. Sitting here sipping a glass of Water. I haven't had enough water for the last few days. So today I am going to stick to water and maybe a smoothie later. Chatted with my fill doc, unfortunately he only does fills, he doesn't do anything else with the band, so there isn't anything he can do. If this continues, I don't know what I am going to do.

School tomorrow, back to the real world. Maybe I am just stressed about that.

Did Candice say what they found out about her mom?

Janet, sounds like you had a good New Years eve. More exciting that me. We played cards yesterday, but that was about it.

Is Phyl on her way home yet? Is Earl settling down?

Karla - I think you may need to go to the ER - or get unfilled - something is going on.. Black stuff not good could be blood.. Take yourself to the ER - if no one knows how to deal w/your port - have them call your band doc - you need it ck'd out. TODAY !!!!

Sorry that everyone is sticking around so long - a couple days is enough for me - hell if Andrew is here for more than a few hours it gets on my nerves

I saw on FB that Phyl hit the road at 5:55 a.m. this morning - that's very early for her - They are making a few stops on the way - I think they will be here Sat or Sunday...

Janet, I know I need to go, but I'm going to wait a couple of days. I am sticking to only liquids and yogurt, and no acidic stuff. I heating up some Lipton noodle Soup and sipping Water. My house is empty, DD#3 left this morning so DD#5 decided to go back to her apartment. Cleaned up SOME of the house and got Christmas put away. Doing laundry. If I'm not better tomorrow, I'll go to the doc. I'm probably dehydrated, haven't been able to keep water down, but I have a tendency to guzzle. So I'll sip all day long. I'm just tired and stressed about going back to school. But I need to face reality and get back to the real world.

Did Candice say what they found out about her mom before she left?

I go back to work tomorrow, bleck!

Talked with Jamie, DD#2 who is the PA, she said that since it wasn't a coffee ground consistancy that it wasn't blood. But she told me to up my OTC Zantac for the next few days. I have managed to get down about 16 oz of Water, still not enough, but none came back. I also had a small yogurt, 2 cups of Lipton Noodle Soup, a decatant cup of REAL homemade Mexican hot chocolate, and a small dish of ice cream. I am feeling better. The vomiting and burning has stopped. So tomorrow I will continue with liquids and no acidic stuff and see how we are.

Yep, just you and me babe. Loving having my house back, if fact I am going to head to bed and read a little bit and then go to sleep, 4:30 am is going to be a killer. Actually tomorrow will be fine, it will be Tuesday or Wednesday that I will be the walking dead.

Have a good sleep and I'll chat in the morning.

Phyl, glad your drive went well today!!! It does get worrisome when are furries aren't their normal selves. But she probably was missing all her friends and playmates.

Back to reality today. The kids will be too busy socializing after break to focus on school, so I will keep it light. Besides I'll have to figure out how well the students learned stuff with the sub, so I'll spend the next couple of days just reviewing material and seeing where they are. Next week is end of the quarter so the year is half over, Seems very strange. Before I know it, I'll be head back to work at the nursery. I do love working in the spring. Seeing all the plants sprout in the green houses.

Went to bed early and actually woke up before the alarm, mainly because miss molly had to go potty. But there wasn't any point in going back to bed, it was about 10 minutes before the alarm went off.

Keeping food light today, hopefully the stomach will settle down.

Janet, have a great day at work, Phyl, drive safe!!

Am I crazy - I don't see a post from Phyl???

Good Morning - My keyboard wasn't working this morning - mouse did - it takes forever to reboot - so just waited til I got to work to post..

Hugs on having to go back to work today.... Sound like you got some food in yesterday - just be careful..

Not much to report either - went to bed 9:30ish - Think I slept all night - woke up to alarm at 5 - it's cold

Yep as we get older the time just flys by.

Well computer or this site seems to be having delayed reaction - I type and nothing and then my words pop up.

I made it through the day. Kept food light. Tonight I had a slice, about 2 oz of marinated turkey loin and a spoon of mashed potatoes. Stomach can't handle veggies, fruit, or coffee. Tired, but okay. Going to go to bed early this week, I need to take things slow. I am looking forward to doing some exercise, but that won't happen until March at the the earliest.

Candice, from what I understand, Greece is just as hilly. Spend some money on a REALLY good pair of walking shoes.

Janet, I see in the news that Vegas has snow and you guys have rain and mud. I hope you are okay.

Enjoy your work out.

Candice, have fun, drink a glass of wine for us!!

Yep Candice, Phyl is on their way home, I think they have a couple of stops so probably won't be home until the weekend. I'm so glad your trip is going well. Janet and I are just doing our normal stuff, not very exciting, well I"M not very exciting. With all the walking you should be good calorie wise. Then there will be all the dancing, etc. so have a wonderful time.

Hard getting up this morning. DD#5 came home last night. She forgot a bunch of stuff, but I'm hoping it was just because she missed me. Students are pretty good. A little squirrely, but that is just because they haven't seen each other. Did some review with them yesterday and they really seem to know what they should know. I am proud of them. It was nice, many of them gave me a hug, even some of the boys. Nice to be missed.

Think I am going to come home tonight, drink some dinner and go to bed. I'm tired today. Tired and cold, it has been a whopping 5 degrees the last few days. Janet, I'm glad you are safe! It sure looked scarey on the news, but that is one reason I don't watch the news very often.

Have a great day, check in tonight!

Good Morning! Trying to keep up with all the posts on this thread and the other, on my phone.

Good to hear from Candace!! Wxciting! She should be on board now and sailing!

Got to DS & DIL yesterday afternoon. DS & DGS snowboarding at Tahoe, DGD not home from school, DIL not home from work yet, so we stopped by to see Earl's brother (lives about 5 miles away), and then stopped to get a bowl of chili. We will be here for a couple of days. Chris & Justin get home tonight & Earl's brother & SIL coming over for a visit tonight, too.

Jacki is in the area all week. Started her radiation tx for her cancer recurrence yesterday. We are going with her today and then to lunch in SF. Earl will have to be patient with us because we're hitting some 2nd hand stores after that... Jacki's favorite thing to do!!

Very concerned about Mom.....talked to my sister this morning. She had stomach flu X3 days. They had her quarantined because it is apparently going through the center. But they let her go down to lunch yesterday, but then she started feeling worse last night. Nurse called my sister this morning to tell her Mom had a very rough night... coughing and congested, so had the dr. see her... they have in house dr. He is getting a chest x-ray... they come in to do that, too. so she doesn't have to go out. But... she gets bronchitis real easy, so that is probably what is going on. Keep her in your prayers!

      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

      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 🙏❤️

      1. NickelChip

        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.
