Quiet Saturday morning. Still in my jammies. Earl has been up since 5:30 a.m., as usual, and he's about to drive me nuts! At least he is now playing with his planes so that will keep him out of my hair for a while. He is so hyper. In and out, up and down, I turn lights out, he turns them back on. Soon as I got up this morning he told me I paid a bill twice. Not the first time. Too bad it's a BIG one... last month's Amex bill! I can't stop it. I tried. It looked like it wasn't going to pay and I don't want to pay late fees! He said it already paid earlier in the week. Still don't see it, but he says the payment is posted. Oh, well! Won't have to pay it next month! Must be getting old! He checks all our accounts online EVERY morning! Then I get all these questions... why doesn't he just take over this stuff!!?? UGH! And pretty soon he will start nagging me about the taxes!

No shopping today. This is our usual Costco/Walmart, etc day, but... because we needed airplane parts, we've been there the last two days! So today is just a Red Hats meeting at 1pm. Hah! I get to drive myself somewhere! And I will sneak in to Desert Hot Springs for a latte!

Steph I think the french onion Soup may have done you in along w/drinks but not that bad - but today is another day :0)... I can do prime rib if it's soft -plus I like my red meat bloody ;0)

Cake - sounds good - I am glad I don't have to deal with it today :0)

I really want to take a nap but I also want to sleep tonight...DILEMMA!!

food is going really well for me right now. I love Atkins. I haven't been hungry, haven't been craving foods and the scale looked half way decent today!!

Mommy - Twitter away...gives me something to do besides stare at my moodle.

I did finish my evolution unit. 13 different lessons with 13 different activities...some are fun...some are kind of boring but necessary. The kids seem to like the new way of teaching biology though so I think I finally found something that worked!

posted on other threads - posted on fb - read emails -

oh ya

On GMA this morning they said that the calories on the packaging can be under estimated by as much as 20% (legally) - So the lean cuisine alfredo 290 - so add 58 more cal - 348 in reality instead of 290 - for those of us who are watching cal/pt those extra 50 cal can add up real fast - I was at the gym - reading the closed captioning this morning - so didn't catch it all - may have to go to GMA website and ck the story

Finally here, survived the day from hell. I didn't set an alarm because I always get up early. DD#4 comes in and tells me it is 10 am, we have a showing at 11 and haven't done any cleaning after dinner. So run around get it all done and load up the dogs, no makeup, sweats, hair barely combed. Figured I'd just drive around for 45 min, head hom at 12:30 & get a call from the realtor, they haven't even been to the house yet and it will be another 45 minutes. So I figure I can at least go home fix my hair and get the dog's leashes. Just as I'm getting about 2 mi from home, I get another call..."oh we decided to go to your house now", so much for the hair and makeup. Ended up taking the dogs to the kennel with no collars or leashes. Go to get them out of the back of the car, and someone has left a "deposit" and ground it into the car carpet. By this time it is time for the next realtor. So I end up going shopping with no makeup, hair ratty and in grubby clothes, NOT a confidence booster. Ate my way through shopping. I Emailed MY realtor and told him that I didn't appreciate the careless attitude of the realtor's showing the house. He appologized and promised to talk to them, but I know he really just wants me to just be glad I have had showings. I know I need to just accept it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. So on a food note, I'm back on the program, I have FINALLY decided that I am not going to let stress make me fat again.

Awe gf you don't have any low cut tops and tight pants - all you have to do is put on too much makeup - and a ton of stinky perfume and lots of jewelry ...

Have fun - I still haven't made it to the couch..

OMG Girl you have had a day from hell - I dropped the car off for the oil change after gym - no make up hair soaking wet - came home did what I reported - got call car ready - went back looking worse that I did when I dropped the car off - cuz now I had dust and crap on me. Who cares - I didn't really see anyone..

OMG sleeping til 10 what's that ;0) You must have been exhausted !!!

WTG on not letting the stress make you fat again...

I too have heard that the calories are underestimated. It wasn't on GMA that I heard it but on some other program. What they said is that on packages that have more than one serving in them that the calories for the measurement are never accurate. For example if you have a "cup" of cereal you think it is 110 calories. However if you weigh that cup you realize that it is more than the grams that are shown on the box. The calories for the "gram" measurement is MUCH more accurate.

Well I am getting ready to go to the gym. I didn't take the nap. I kind of woke up a little bit when I got up and moved around a little bit.

OMG...they have now turned the Big Mac into a snack wrap. Well there is another way to make people believe that they are getting something healthy when they clearly aren't. UGH...I'm so sick of fast food places. We did eat at KFC yesterday after the doc. Their grilled chicken pieces are carb free but they were sooooo greasy. I think they just deep fry them without the coating. Lee tried one of the wings that I had and spit it out. I hadn't eat in 4 hours and was starving so I ate them 1 only had 4 wings and a side salad so it wasn't too bad.

Check back later.

I just pretty much ignore him!! Yeah... I paid the friggin' bill twice and it was over $2k, but.... won't have much, if anything to pay next month so ... get over it!! He doesn't care!! He played with his airplanes/helicopter all day and then had several glasses of wine, sat out on the patio, and he's a happy camper!! Sound asleep now and then he'll be telling me he didn't get to watch the news! Oh, well... I run it one time. If he sleeps through it... too bad, so sad!! HAHAHA!!

OMW Phyl you have my condolences - I too couldn't stand having to be accountable either - just give him the bills and say have at it buddy.. I pay bills once a month on the 1st - the 15th pay ck is mine :0)

PFFFFTTT!! He doesn't rattle my cage! I tell him what I did and why and... deal with it!! LOL! Yesterday he was chewing me out because I told him I had to go to Walmart to get birthday cards! He told me to buy a box of birthday cards because it would be cheaper!! When is the last time you saw a BOX of birthday cards you could buy???? I told him... I used to do that and you know what?? I still have most of them because they are too generic and I don't use them!!! I stick up for my rights and tell him off when he tries to control my spending!! He is doing the healthiest thing he's ever done... spending money on himself with these RC airplanes, and I support it 100%!!

Red Hats was just a meeting today and no food.. no lunch, and a short meeting, at that. "Queen" was in Indio at the RV rally. Think we might go after church tomorrow.

In fact, I had no lunch today... stopped at Starbucks for a latte and had a vanilla/almond biscotti with it... 150 calories. Had a little pheasant sausage and cheese with pita puff crackers when I got home... with some wine, of course. Red Hat lunch on Monday was at Elephant Bar and I ordered off the 700 calorie menu and ate half, finished it at dinner.< /span>

Stomach has been fine today but headache keeps coming back. Earl not feeling really great today in that regard either.

You accomplished a LOT today! Congrats!! Good work!!

I think we ate at KFC when we took our Christmas trip. I remember getting the 2 pc grilled chicken thing. The fried doesn't tempt me anymore. I really like their cole slaw and mashed potatoes and I don't care about the gravy. So, could probably do worse with fast food than 2 pc grilled chicken w/mashed potatoes, no gravy and cole slaw. Sometimes the cole slaw has a LOT Of dressing, but that time... it was fairly dry and just right for me.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
