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

200 - 1 = 199

FINALLY.....ONEderland!!!!!!!

When I started this process I hoped but was never "sure" I'd get there...but here I am! Though I am happy about it.....oddly I am also a little sad (not sure why). Even though my goal seems that much more achievable now, it also (for some odd, unexplainable reason) seems much further away than ever before.

Mr Yoda says it is just my PMS rearing its ugly head....lets hope!!! :nervous

Anyways....I'm in Onederland now...though I would prefer more of a buffer zone away from the dreaded 200....but I'll work on that!

:(

Yup...it's comin' up soon! I will be on Vancouver Island from 18-26 Apr. I'm really looking forward to it BUT I'm also anxious because Mr Yoda isn't coming with me and I'm going to miss him very much!!! I know, it sounds sucky, but what can I say.....tis true!

After 77 lbs, I would like to think that my folks will notice a difference but part of me is afraid that they won't!! They say they do in pics that I've sent....but maybe they are just being nice. Once again, though, they are in a no win situation. Part of me wants them to comment positively on it and the other part wants them just to shut up about it and not comment!!! Ya know? (I don't need/want to be reminded of how bad it had gotten!).

We are going to TO on 5 Apr to see the musical based on QUEEN'S "We Will Rock You". We got tickets before they even went on sale and so we have front row in the first balcony, center seats.....they will be amazing! Can't wait. Queen rules! (this is why Mr Yoda's TLBC consult is booked for 5 Apr; since we will be there anyways). We are spending the night downtown at the Delta Chelsea....so THAT will be fun too!! (winka winka!). I have a couple of hundred dollars worth of ROOTS certifcates burnin' a hole in my wallet so I'm excited to go to the Roots store by the Eatons Centre (it is waaaaay bigger than the one in the mall where I live). I really like their bags....Mr Yoda thinks I have enough, but when it comes to Roots Bags, no amount is ever enough.....right gals?!!

I also LOOOOOVE the LONESTAR restaurant and so we'll for sure hit that as well!! mmmm mmmm !

Loriely: enjoy your trip to Edmonton....it gives you something to look forward to! I believe I change flights in Edmonton on the way there (Calgary on the way back).

      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 :)

      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.
