WARNING - EXTREME PROFANITY AHEAD:

so my trainer can't train me right now so i say no problem, i'll train myself. i walk into my home gym. like what up. i'm a bad ass. let's do this. i get on the yoga ball to do an exercise my trainer taught me, instead of grabbing the 8lb dumbell i grab the 10lb (cuz im a bad ass now), i plop back on the yoga ball, and cockily throw myself back into "position"....the 10lb weight is too heavy and i destabilize, for some reason my giant ass isnt enough to keep me from falling/rolling off the fucking ball and i fall over onto my side and onto my pile of 15 (extremely hard) dumbbells bruising my whole right side. now i hate everything. i hate my dumbbells, i hate this stupid cunt of a yoga ball, and in fact, this whole room is offensive to me! but i stay anyways and did an angry work out where now all my muscles are shaking and im bruised on one side. first solo work out. FAIL. kinda.

sometimes you have an experience that puts your life into perspective. this is the second such experience for me this month actually. im at dean petersen elementary at a "community partner meeting". as i'm driving in struggling to find parking i say to myself (jokingly) fuck! where's the valet in this place! (haha). i park and go into the meeting. as i'm sitting there listening to how kids come in on mondays that haven't eaten most of the weekend. they come in with dirty clothes everyday. the parents don't just live in government housing they live in WEEKLY rentals. one little girl in the first grade refuses to walk to school. even tho it's across the street she wants to come in the stroller. the parent has no coping mechanism to deal with her so she just relents and brings her in the stroller and that kid (obviously) has behavioral AND social issues.

so the next time i'm pulling into a school in my fancy car with my $70 nails and apple watch i need to remind myself not to complain about money. and THEN i need to remind myself to be grateful (which i normally am VERY grateful) but don't even let ONE DAY go by when you forget to be. then ask myself, am i giving back? (the answer is yes i am - my animal foundation funds and sponsors many animals/dogs) but i could always do more. and lastly i ask myself. if you're not doing either of the first two things then are you at least living your life to the best of your ability? and the answer to that is a resounding NO. you are fat. you are undisciplined. your bathroom is messy, you need to spend more quality time with mango, need to make sure your live every moment as though it's your last. you're old! now is the time. don't wait!

and that is my lesson to myself today.

I had a food funeral for Wendy's today too. It wasn't even all that good. Kind of a waste. I didn't even eat the fries. I ate like 7 chicken nuggets.

yeah mine wasn't that good either smh. i have my pre op appnt this thursday i supposed that's when they tell me about my pre op diet and stuff so in the meantime i'm eating plenty of the stuff i like but like you said it's not that satisfying. nothing tastes as good as being skinny (and yeah yeah healthy) will feel :) i'd rather be anything than this.


I understand and good luck on your decision. Xmas will definitely be better

First surgery of any kind so i was scared since I don't like hospitals lol. Ice read so many stories on this site and was scared with the different issues people were experiencing. I'm so thankful I didn't have any reactions to food or surgery. My only concern was taking Vitamins on a daily basis but I been using a patch that provides all the vitamins I need and found out my body is absorbing all of it and my dr and nut told me to only use half of the patch. I didn't think I would get to this size so fast. My frustration now is clothe since I keep losing. I thought I would stop at a size 38 since I was a 46-48. I'm now using 36.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
