Personal goal this month. Learn to relax a bit and figure out how to live at my current weight.

Surgery VSG 8/13/18. My one year follow up is this month, I’m kinda in maintenance/clueless land right now. I’m still eating like I’m losing, but I’m not losing.

Current weight 130-131 BMI 22

Fun fact: I dated a guy in high school who is now a pretty famous Emmy winning actor.

My personal goal(s) of this month:

To break into Onederland

To increase my running distance from 3.5 miles to 5 miles for my long run.

Surgery type:

Gastric Sleeve

Status:

3 months post-op

Weight & BMI:

210 and 37

Fun fact:

Ummm, huh, I’m not very exciting. OKay, I know how to do soooo many art/craft media, here’s a list:

stained glass, fused glass, glass torchwork, throwing ceramics on the wheel, hand building ceramics, sewing, from couture to sewing for short run theater, Oil painting, watercolor painting, tie dye, acrylic painting, woodworking, handcarving, relief printing, copperplate etching, lithography, monotype, collagraph, screenprinting, basic metalsmithing (jewelry), beadwork, spinning yarn, knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, quilting, photography (both darkroom and digital), drawing, lots of different sculpture methods, and letterpress. I’m sure there are more, but that’s what comes to mind.

In!

1. Okay so this sounds weird, but I’m setting a personal goal for August to avoid alcohol entirely.
Wine had been creeping back unto my diet and then there was a tequila tasting and....well no wonder I had a bit of a stall lately.
I want to average losing 2 pounds/week this month and that’s the ONLY way to achieve it.

2. VGS on 2/6/19. Still losing and approx 20-30 pounds from goal weight.

3. Weight this morning was 174.0 and I’m 5’7”. This puts me at a BMI of 27.2.

4. Fun fact: back in 1991 I was eating lunch with a friend at a diner in Shawnee, OK. We were being pretty loud and laughing and dishing about different guys,etc (I was 23yo) and my friend whispered to me that there was some “really cute guy” in the booth right behind me eavesdropping on our convo and laughing.
Me being me, I started throwing packets of sweet and low over my shoulder seeing if I could hit him. Apparently I got him a couple of times and told him I was “just sending some fake sugar” his way.
After he left, the waitress came over and asked me how in the world was I brave enough to flirt that outrageously with Brad Pitt.
My response was “who?”
Honestly I’d been in pharmacy school for the last 5 years and had no clue who he was.

Just thought it was some random guy.

That doesn’t sound like a weird goal. It’s a great one. Kudos to you for recognizing it creeping back in.

And your fun fact is HILARIOUS.

Let me see.. He is nominated for an Emmy again this year. He is medium famous, some people consider him moderately famous. I wouldn’t say he’s a household name...but odds are you know his work.

Edited to add, it’s not Brad Pitt lol

also, I’m not going to publicly name him. It pinpoints me a bit much. If you want to guess have fun! send me a message if you are dying to know. It isn’t a big deal!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
