Glad to see everyone weighing in! Let me gently remin everyone to not post with your signatures, as it makes this thread a long one to load, and we are trying to keep it as clean as possible. There is a box that you can uncheck when you are posting or eiting your posts that leaves your signature out of the post. Lets all get on this and try to keep the thread clean, esp on days like this when we have a lot of posts for the weigh ins.

If my gentle reminder is not heeded, then i will call in the Dawginator and his Fish of Death!:huggie:

You guys keep me motivated, no doubt. I love the results and the reactions I get. LOL, ain't I a stinka?

OOOh lemme just say this... I was jogging this moring and a Kissimmee cop pulls over and yells at me to c'mere. So I "c'mere'd" lol him and he said something like.."i've been seeing you everyday or most days and you're always alone. You are gorgeous and I wanted to ask if you were married." I pointed to my bandless hand and said "Yes, sorry bout that." He didn't stop there though.

Holy hell...

Well..let's just say "Daniel the Cop" asks me for my 7 digits... asked if he could work out with me b/c he's gained a few pounds and needs a partner.....

P.S. this guy lives down the road from me. Single Puerto Rican cop..probably like 6ft 3inches tall..

I had to take off my rings b/c when I do the long distances, my hands swell up. But the tan mark under the rings is there and that's what I pointed to. Kinda comical but this was my actual first blatant "hit on".

to be continued at a later date

Funny,

We should start a thread for these types of stories. I'm sure there are many to share, and many more will occur.

We DO NOT have to include mine though. One humiliation is enough:cry

Neat idea?:huggie:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
