Yoda's Jedi Journals (aka Yoda's Yammerin's)



Recommended Posts

Yoda thanks for letting me in on your routine. I am trying to get ideas for exercise and I am trying to map it out and time it with all my goings on. :)

I don't want to make excuses for myself so I figure if I plan now I will be better off.

Anyway I think you are going to like Aquafit. I used to do that for a couple years and I always like it. Very easy on the body but still a great workout.

Hi Cloe and Yoda,

Yeah, sorry I meant weight and I forgot the word - must have been the early morning post. I'm happy I got to keep down oatmeal this morning after getting my blood work done. If there's a cancellation I'll be heading in earlier for a defill. I'm approx 20 lbs from goal but it's not been fun the last few days.

There you are Yoda! You can hide, but we will get back out to play with us!:)

Hope you are doing well. I lurk sometimes too. Lately I have been feeling a little grouchy and stressed and I really enjoy just stalking the site. Guess I am going to have to work on sharing instead of internalizing everything. My, my, so much to learn.

Everyone is doing so well. I am happy for you, and worry about you when there are complications. :) I will write more soon. xox

Thanks I will try. This band is becoming my conscience already and we have had one or two arguments. The band won Doddie

HI Doddie,

It's funny how the band wins eh? I've had many arguements with it too but it seems to have many more things on its side and knows what's good for me. I kind of think of it like my food police and while some can work around it, it soon catches up with you. It's lots of hard work but reading everyones posts - even with their bumps and plibs - it's all worth it for the end results and reaching goals.

Have a great week and see you thinner next week.

Roxanne

      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 :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      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.
