Hope everyone has a nice weekend, the weather here is suppose to be beautiful. I will be either sleeping or working

Hey everybody,

Kat, thank you for the explanation. This woman says she wants to lose 70 pounds, so i'm not sure if she'll qualify. It seems like one would have to be at least 100 pounds overweight, but I'm definitely no expert, that's just my opinion.

Terri, a couple of times I couldn't log on at work, either, but this must be the day for computers to cooperate :biggrin:.

Yesterday one of the accountants asked me if I'd received my check for the annual meeting I played for a couple of weeks ago. I said no, thinking that was a strange question because I'd already gotten the gift card.

Well, this morning I got a check through our inner office mail. $100! Works for me!

Evrybody feel better.

Have to go back to work.

Debbie

Good Saturday morning Folks.

We have been having some of the most beautiful weather here. I wonder how much longer it will last. I know they are calling for in the 60's about the middle of the week. That's still not bad. Great walking weather.

Jenn, WOOT WOOT.

T&A, I forgot to mention to you guys that Darrell and I stopped by Buc ees on our way back. Holy Cow. You could spend a fortune in there. And I have to admit that they do have the nicest, cleanest bathrooms ever. We actually got out of there without buying anything, :biggrin:, go figure. I highly recommend it to everyone. A Texas must see.

Ok, off to go do my walk. See ya all soon.

Did my walk and it felt good.

I took off and mailed a package to my brother in California. I think it would have been cheaper to drive it there myself. And get there sooner then Thursday. lol.

Went over to Zarda BBQ. They are having their Rib Fest. So I got 4 slabs of ribs, 1 quart of cole slaw, 1 quart of Beans and 2 lunch specials. I asked the girl if $60.00 would cover it. She charged me $45.00. She used to date my nephew and the lady in line in front of me is a good friend of mine and her son owns the store. She got hers free and I got mine at a reduced price. I'm happy. I'm gonna freeze 2 slabs for Christmas. Normally their ribs ar $21.00 a slab.

Got my housework done. Working on laundry and then I'm gonna chill for awhile.

It sounds like we are all knee deep in cleaning and laundry! Oh what fun...

I actually have Zach shampooing the carpet!

Congratulations, Jenn!!!

Suzie, glad you got to see Bu-cee's. The largest I have seen is on I-10. Did you go back that way or is there a Buc-ee's I am missing???

Mmmmm....ribs. I made lasagna last night and there is plenty left. We are doing left-overs tonight!

My nose/head issues seemed to have passed but Mike feels terrible. I rubbed his chest with Vick's last night and well...we both slept good! It was strong. I could still smell it after he left this morning, lol.

I am going in tomorrow for a 10 hour shift. Mo' money...mo' money!

Have a good one...

Angela

Happy weekend everyone! Well except for the cleaning and laundry part lol. I've tried catching up on posts and see there are a couple new people. Hiya new guys! :) I'm still kinda new here too but you'd never know by how they've welcomed me.

ughh Suzanne your bbq sounds soooo good. It's very chilly here today and windy so that sounds like nice warm comfort food. I hope it freezes soon so my allergies will get better. I can't hardly go to sleep at night because of the ringing in my ears. It's driving me crazy, anybody have any tips for lessening it?

I've got to tell you guys what happened on Thursday. I got to work and was hungry (I haven't been eating Breakfast since LB, well really before either!) and I had an Atkins Protein Shake in my little fridge (NP told me NO cold anything first thing in the morning ever) so I poured it in a cup and drank it. Filled me up.

About 30 min later my back started hurting BAD and then it moved to include the middle of my gut just below my breast bone. It was hurting so bad y'all I started getting queasy and felt lightheaded. I was afraid of 2 things, somehow I did something bad to my band or those dang kidney stones were starting to move (I've got 4mmish ones on both sides ugh).

So I left work and made it home and laid down for about 20 min. Got just a tad better but still hurt bad. I was getting really scared by now. Trying to figure out what doc to try to see, the one that was open to LB has had to leave her practice as she has cancer and the other 2 PAs I've seen there don't seem very open to it. And our ER is awful. But it's a 3 hour drive to see the NP at the surgeon's office. ugggghhhh panic time.

Then it kinda started feeling like a really bad muscle cramp in the middle of my belly. So for some reason I thought I would drink some really really warm (read: HOT duh) Water. It actually felt good. And made it hurt a little less. So I got the heating pad out and put it on my belly. After about 15 min better still.

Got up to go into the kitchen and just as I got in there I let out the biggest longest burp you've heard! O.M.G. it was the worst one yet lol. But.........

the pain went totally away!! ROFL I was starting to think I was going to die right there and all I needed to do was BURP! So I've learned 2 things...... NO cold drinks at 8am and SLOW DOWN. I love how the band gets your attention.

over. and. over. again.

Been quite awhile since I've felt that goofy! :D

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
