You will definately get to the cardio kickboxing by january for sure! Just keep at it!:clap2:

Cardio kickboxing is the best! Yes, I know I'm late replying to this one, but I used to adore that, I want to work back up to it too. Its great for stress relief. You just picture the person annoying you most and punch your heart out!

well I think my interview went well... I'll know in a couple of weeks.

On alchohol. I like it. Actually, having the gallbladder out I think affects me the most in that regard. I'm now a cheap drunk. This can be annoying on occasion, but also nice. My tolerance is way down. I suspect I need to work on drinking more, more often to bring it back up. I like wine. I love partially flat diet tonic water-- I mix it with everything. I adore anejo tequillas. Especially corazon and tesoro paradiso. Margaritas are also nice. My most fav drink is good tequila with a bit of lime juice and some tonic Water. I can drink carbonation, and I do, but I burp a lot, and I need to take it really easy after a fill.

I recently bought myself a bunch of clothes. I didn't like the idea of clothes when I know my size will change, but I need some that fit and don't have stains or rips, etc. And I bought them all on clearance and sale. I got some shirts at JCPenny's at their online outlet for less then ten dollars. I have this thing for 3/4 sleeve striped shirts. I just love those-- don't ask me why. my "uniform" I guess. That and anything with skulls. Ok, so I probably need fashion help, but I find that stuff incredibly terrible confusion. I was able to learn how to do basic makeup in only one season and was starting to get a hang of hair-- those things seem more stable. But other than learning my colors (for me its simple. I'm a summer with reddish hair, and thanks to Henna, its now red. Since my dad was a redhead I've inherited the redheaded pale complexion, only I have just a few freckles. So I am very pale and pink. This means I can only wear three colors-- blue, green, and neutral. I can wear certain shades of pink, but quite frankly its too confusing for me to navigate the difference from nice to ugh, so pink is a no. If I try to wear purple, people actually sit me down and talk to me. Its kind of funny. And even I know better than to put on things like yellow) I wouldn't know much of where to start.

I bought a pair of jeans. This might sound simple, but I haven't bought a pair of jeans not from Lane Bryant since I was a teen. Then after I got the band they moved out the mall and it took me a while to notice. Of course I don't wear the W cut anymore-- its too baggy in the seat for me. Of course the misses cut still gives me extra fabric around the waist, but I've got a serger to play with. So I had to find a place with a size 18 misses. Oh and I wanted it in a tall. Thats my new thing-- tall sizes.

I discovered those when I got my shirts. I'm not that tall, but I've found it really does make a nice difference in things like sleeve length, shoulders sometimes, torso proportions (I have a long torso). I like things to be where they are suppposed to be. So I found the midrise flair/bootcut jeans with a bit of stretch I wanted as cheap as I could. I'll need to hem them a bit. So that means I gained what, an inch? oooh... still, it was worth it to try on a pair that actually fit. Made me feel good. I also got a skirt from Torrid, size 16. Some blouses they had on sale with skulls on them. Seeing the smaller sizes on clothes is a confidence booster. So is fitting into older clothes.

Another thing I've noticed is that Protein, my large Unjury shake in the AM, is a big deal in terms of my hunger and eating habbits.

My last fill was small, just .3 And its lasting... But I eat here and there and lots of bad things if I don't get my unjury. But with unjury I'm so much better. Obviously I need to work on my head issues and habbits, but I think I underestimate the role of protein sometimes.

Ok, I'm off to school. I have the most fun in grad school. Honest. Today I volunteer at the children's book center. I'm working on a project about video games in libraries-- I might have to go play some. I'm doing another one on closed captioning and DVS movies and the advantages of them. The third project is on sex ed books. I'm looking at allegedly dirty pictures, and its all for class.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
