Yeah the lice thing sucks. I did not see very many eggs on the kids head...they were really hard to find so that is a good thing. But the problem is me. We share a hair brush and i can't check my own head, and my hubby is a douche bag when it comes to things like this. So seeing as the back of my head is extra itchy I am looking to treat myself too. The kids has so much fricken hair that I am not surprised she picked something up this year. Last year when I was working later I used to french braid her hair every morning to keep it out of things but now with this 5am shit it is not so easy. I think I am going to braid it after she gets out of the shower the night before and just have her keep the braids in for the day. Ugh. I hate lice.

I was just in the middle of sharing some of my depression and hit a hot key that closed out the tab. I wish I new which key I hit it was pretty cool.

So I am thinking that it was a sign to keep that "downer" junk to myself and focus on the good things.

John, barring something bizzare is now an Eagle Scout!

This is my one year anniversary with the band and I believe I can call it a successful year to say the least.

Whoever decides to shoot BG, if you could save a bullet for me that would be cool. j/k

My son's Jack Russell passed away, I hate getting attached to animals. I didn't want to know the details, so I am not sure what happened.

I haven't been able to ride my bike all week because of rain. I am going to be on call this Saturday, the first day in a long time that they are not calling for 50 % or more chance of rain.

I am not where I wanted to be after a year with this band. I am glad/happy/excited to be closer to that point than further away, but I keep having stupid things like the above paragraph as well as the following paragraph happen to stop me.

I ate two stupid bites of a rib last night and it got stuck so I had a PB/Slime attack. I fought it for 2.5 hours before I gave in, God it hurt. Now I am swollen shut again and fluids will barely go down, but I am so freaking hungry that I want to hit something. I know I am going to have to stay on liquids or I will be in the ER again! WHY?

I was strong enough to fight the urge to wretch and I carefully pushed it back out. I had a few PBs When I first started eating solids again after my initial surgery, when I was learning how to do this, without this Damn swollen thing happening.

This Damn VG band is so freaking tricky. You get sucked into thinking the thing has loosened up because there are times when you can eat as if you have either no fill or no band at all. Then out of no where bam! Locked up! it could even be something you ate yesterday without any trouble.

Now I sit here with life in the way of the amount of exercise I require to lose weight, I was at one point 5 pounds away from my goal. I just feel like I am in a fistfight with something I can't even see much less defend myself against.

I am not being sarcastic when I say aside from all that, things are pretty good. It's just when I have time to stop and reflect that it gets me down.

Just know that if you go super low carb you are going to be a stark raving bitch for about 5 days. Then amazingly hunger disappears and it becomes much easier. Stock up on cheese slices and string cheese because they are easy Snacks. And have some yummy things like bacon and sausage. If you are low carb you can eat those high fat things and not gain. Oh and lay off the wine. It is full of those evil little suckers.

I am going to have an exciting weekend of dealing with head lice. Shoot me now please.

BG, I was commenting on your, shoot me now please. In the quote above. I am sure if someone was going to try you would kick the living shit out of them! :-)

Sorry about the pup. It's always hard to lose our pet friends.

Just breathe. You are not in competition with anyone to get to your goal today, next week or next month. You've got to do it a pace your body will accept and can handle. Thinking about how close you got only builds feelings of remorse. So stop it.

You're on the right path, thinking how far you have come. You are fit and active and dating and well on your way to meeting your goal.

As for work and biking, sucks no? But it happens. You'll get out there again and soon. Lucky you, you are not looking at cold ass weather keeping you indoors like the us three northern chicas.

The hunger part will go away when you pass out from lack of nutrition! Ha. No, you'll loosen up, try to find something destracting to do. Search dirty pictures on the internest or something.

XOXOXO

      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.
