Good Morning Peeps...

Karla you are up early on a Saturday - my dogs woke me up or I would still be asleep.. You ar getting your camera today right - you are going to become a phototoghaper like Phyl :0)

Phyl Ya I guess living in the RV that long that close to Earl would be hard LOL - I don't know if I could do it no matter how much I loved someone - tha't too close quarter for me .... Ya over cooked fish isn't good - I have over cooked mine sometimes - I think it's why I like the catfish from Winco instead of Coscto - it's thick and 15 minute is just about the right time to bake it..

By the time I finished making beds - wiping down light switches etc I was hungry but in no mood to cook so my dinner consisted of popcorn & ice cream (sf) calorie wise I was ok for the day but nutritionally - omg terrible and I have leg workout this morning - going to have to make myself eat some kind of protein..

Well today gym - dogs - winco - costco - home to put all the food up ;0)

Phyl I will pick you up tomorrow about 2 ok.. Is Earl going to come to the house for dinner tomorrow nite - have you figured out your schedule ;0)..Well gotta go look for some Protein - I am going to need it for gym this morning

It's really not Earl that gets on my nerves.... and that's not the phrase I am really looking for... it's just that it will be nice to get home to some open space! My recliner, big screen TV, different scenery out my nice big living room windows, etc.

I am still struggling with the schedule! I have a dilemma tomorrow... really sweet German couple down the street is having a get-together tomorrow at 4pm. This is the only one they've had this winter, and I know they are leaving in a few days. I guess I can just send Earl. But then I either have to drive myself to the airport and then to your house, or have him (stay sober) and come and pick me up later. Or I could ask them if it would be okay if I brought you two with me. That way we could just "make an appearance" and then go on to your place.

Monday plans sound good... I may drive to Melvyn's with someone else or have Earl drop me off. So far he is saying he isn't going to come over to dinner "with al those ladies"!! But maybe I can talk him in to doing that Monday. We'll see.... But that's as far as my processing of the week's schedule has gone.

Phyl, I bet you are getting just about as excited as I am about being away from HUBBY for a week.... yueahhh-haw!!! :rolleyes::P Janet; I forgot, do you drink MILK at your house? If not I`ll get some Skim milk when I get there, its what I have in my Tea and coffee.< /span>

Candice... I keep forgetting to ask what is your preference in wine??? I think you drink red, right??? So far I have a bottle of cab and a couple of other reds.

Nah... I'm not that excited about being away from Earl. As much as I complain about him.... sometimes.... he IS my comfort zone!! LOL

Doesn't feel right to be away. That's why I've not yet decided how many nights I'll sleep over and how many I will come home! He won't want me using a lot of gas to go back and forth, though!! :blink:

Janet, camera is tomorrow, today was work at the nursery. The boss has been great about having one of the young pups lift stuff so I don't have to. It was a glorious day, in the 50's. I think I got a little sun burn on my face. I even groomed up a bit for work. Usually it is a pony tail and no make up. But I decided that it is one of the few places I see REAL people so decided to put on a bit of a face. Boss said I looked great. Couldn't eat Breakfast or much lunch. Was really tight. So had a few bites of kashi and yogurt for breakfast, and about 1/4 of an apple and about 1/3 oz of cheese, wasn't even hungry. Thats what I like about the nursery.

Well pork chops in the oven and Alexa is making mashed potatoes so I'll have a spoon full. I am going to splurge tonight and have a little ice cream. I worked all day and didn't eat much, so I'll be okay calorie wise.

You all have a fabulous time!!!

Phyl - you have me confused - I thought Earl was going to the lunch on Monday - I thought it was friends of your celebrating something.. That's why I said would meet you there.. If you want we will pick you up on Monday..

It's up to Candice if she want's to make a pit stop at your place after the airport - She's leaving the house like 3 a.m. - don't know how tired she will be cuz by the time she lands in PS she will have been up 12 hrs traveling..

Just need head count for dinner really -- Hell Earl loves hanging out w/chicks ;0)

Candice When are you going to NO - I am so jealous I have always wanted to go there - I would love to meet Denise - I think she's the coolest...

Karla - Glad you didn't lift - Dinner sounds good - I'm hungry.. I haven't eaten today (we couple bite of prime rib) but no meal - I'm headed to the kitchen now...

No... bunch of ladies going out to lunch... 14 plus us. One of the ladies who lives here year round has her 75th birthday this summer when most of us are gone home. So someone decided we should all go out to lunch to Celebrate before we all leave.

Earl says he's not coming for dinner tomorrow night. He's going to stay here and eat with the Germans and the rest of the neighbors. I can get him to come and pick me up later. Party tonight was fairly mellow. We were home by 7:30 p.m.

Good Morning Peeps

Got up at 6 which was really 5 but liked that the clock said 6 ;0) I know all head games..

Well got the rest of the house done - just waiting to go pick up Phyl & Candice... Candice said in phone call that she had to leave like 3:30 - she's going to have a long day - she doesn't get here till 3 p.m. our time.. Well I guess she's gaining 3 hrs ;0)

Ok Phyl I understand - I think maybe Candice & I will sit at our own table since we aren't really apart of this group.. Sorta feel like intruders - what's is called - omg here goes the brain again - can't find the word - oh ya Party Crashers LOL..

I hope everyone arrived safe and sound, hugs all around from me!! You will have to tell me about your shopping trips. Although Janet will have to clear out more closet space (Sorry, I couldn't resist, But shopping is better than eating!!!)

Was able to fall asleep right away last night even with the time change, but Molly got up multiple times and just was a pain. I guess that is my payback for making her go on a walk. She thinks she is such a princess. Her fat little butt just drug along on the walk. Hopefully now that the weather is getting nicer I will get out there more. We hit almost 60 yesterday!!! whoho

Got my camera and it seems pretty easy to work, down load pictures, etc. Janet I sent a test picture to your email, so let me know if it shows up, then I'll send you all pictures of the quilts I finished.

Well, you all have a great day!!!

Good Morning, I hope you all had a glorious sleep. Yesterday was beautiful again weather wise. I'm glad the picture worked, Tell Candice I'll take some pics of my quilts and send them in emails.

Nothing much happening at school, we are giving CRT tests (national norma reference tests) so I don't really teach all week. Working on homework.

Had a little melt down about Elyse and the pregnancy yesterday. Stopped by the accountant to pay her what I owed for doing the taxes and since I claimed Elyse on my taxes she owed Federal. So ended up writing ANOTHER check. Had I no claimed her and she had to pay, it would have been her paying it. It just got to me. Then my eldest called and shared a little about her frustrations trying to conceive (all in 3rd person naturally). So I just can't of felt buried by it all.

Oh my mother had to call and remind me that I missed her birthday. I would have liked to say that I did it on purpose, but I truely spaced it. I'm sure Frued (sp) would have a hayday with forgetting.

Have a great day!!

Hi!! It's been a busy and fun week! Hope you had a good week, Karla!!

Cloudy and gloomy and very cool here today... 64 degrees at 1pm. Think Candice and Janet are off to the street fair at College of the Desert today, but unable to reach them by phone...... AGAIN!! Janet's cell phone just always says her voice mail isn't set up. So, listened to that recording for the umpteenth time and left a message on her home phone. That's been the routine for the last four days! I can't seem to keep up with their comings and goings. Oh, well! I tried!

36_14_1.gif rna.gif

Went to a bar to hear Candice sing karaoke Friday night. Fun!! She has such a beautiful voice. But we had to listen to two rounds of frogs to hear her sing twice!! It was going on 11 pm by then so we headed home after her 2nd song rather than wait through another round. There was only one other person, a guy, who had a voice worth listening to IMHO!! And some of the other singers were 3 sheets to the wind by then, too.

Linda left yesterday morning.... hope you had a good trip home, if you're here!! Smooth and uneventful! Candice, same for you tomorrow night!

That's my story for now.

Morning ladies, it sounds like you all had a great time. Nothing much going on here, homework, school, and working at the nursery. I hope Linda was well. I never would have kept up with you all. I would have fallen asleep!

Phyl, do you have your ortho appt made for when you go back to Washington?

Linda and Candice, home safe and sound?

Janet, getting some rest?

      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.
