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?

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜
