Hey, the only other thing I could think of is have you tried those adult coloring books? I know it's not physical activity, but I love getting my coloring books out when I'm bored. Time flys when you're coloring, and those adult coloring books are becoming very popular and you can find them everywhere.

Everybody else has given you great suggestions...this is all I could think of!

Yep, I love them! Can only do a few minutes at a time, due to the A.S. in my spine & especially neck.

Hey, how are you going Mel? I have been offline for a couple of weeks and only just caught up with some of the great ideas offered. I hope you have fiund something to distract yourself. I am one week off being sleeved and am getting the jitters big time. Reading too much what problems other people have had. Mind you for my ffirst week shake fast, i have lost 10lbs and am quite happy, hungry but ok. Now i think well ifnyou can do this why cant you do it without the sleeve but have tried so many times and yo yo'd. Just such a big thing to do to the body. I have no doubt i will ,ose the weight and am fairly confid3nt that i 2ill keep it off, just have the jitters.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
