Thanksgiving Challenge And My Thank You To Bea!



Recommended Posts

So, I did the Halloween Challenge and exceeded my goal which I was absolutely joyful for. The challenge not only allowed me to actually track and see what I am doing (didn't really watch it this way before) but it gave me a focus and a goal that made it fun with all my forum sleeving friends. I am now doing the Thanksgiving Challenge and fingers crossed I should make that goal. If not I will be close.......this was a short one. I will give it my best!!

Yesterday I went to Sam's with my daughter to pick up some needed items. As a rule sweets don't rule over me. In fact, most of the time I can turn a dessert down with little effort but put an appetizer in front of me and that is a killer! Anyway.........As we were going through the bakery section I had the most overwhelming desire to buy and eat all of it!!!!! I was actually dropping the f bomb as I walked through the stuff!!! It must of been a momentary mental breakdown!! I didn't buy any of it but I sure did swear my way through it!!

You know what came into my mind first and foremost?????? My Thanksgiving Challenge and making my goal!!! I want to thank you Bea for caring about all of us and spending your time to help us make our sleeves successful with a bit of fun added in it!! You weren't with me yesterday but you were! Today, I am sitting here another pound lighter and feeling a sense of accomplishment because I didn't partake of the yummy badness that was tempting me yesterday. You have spent your time each week updating our charts and cheering each of us on. I know I speak for many of us in thanking you for everything you have done for us!! I can't wait to start the New Years one!!

Your the best Bea!!! :) :) :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
