Ladeez, I’m going out sans thigh-rub protecting bike shorts under my skirt. First time in forever. I shall report back!

Happy to say, I spent the whole day in the skirt and not a problem. It felt so airy not having bike shorts on #freedom

I didn’t take a nap today but I slept in an extra hour and it felt great.

My bike arrived today, however it has some assembly, I’m really hoping I can ride it tonight. It’s really cute.

NSV from my Fitbit today!

August 19th Happy Monday! It's 4:25 am -

  • August challenge goal 5 pounds (maintaining my bounce weight)
  • Starting weight 140 BMI 23
  • Today’s weight 136 BMI 22.6

I think I’m past the detoxing crankiness. Sunday was rest day. Heading to the gym at 5:30 am – I have a half marathon with my team on the 27th. I’ve increased my distance and today is a lifting day.

Treating myself.

Is it ridiculous that I hatted going to a coffee shop on my own when I was at my high weight? At noon I’m sneaking off to my favorite place for a café latte with almond milk. Its great to feel comfortable in my own skin and relax.

Day 16, 17 and 18.
Surgery and recovery days,
I treated myself with this surgery in my honest opinion.
I didn't get a massage because it was the last thing I was thinking about after surgery but I do get a massage at anyone of our beautiful resorts with my BFF at least 2x a month. I have changed my swedish massage this coming Saturday for a facial so that should count as self care/treat yourself.

Exercise; I'm only walking around the house and once around the neighborhood yesterday. My kids rode their bikes alongside. The advice of walking has been heaven sent as it helped enormously!! Omg!! That gas pain!!! My surgeon who is also a friend told me she had to run out of my hospital room because I was doubled over in pain and she couldn't stand to watch!![emoji26][emoji22] I've had 3 c sections, lap band placement and removals but this brought me to my knees.........until the walking began. I would walk at least 40 laps around the unit every 2 hrs and it changed the game.
So yes, walking is all I can do.

I'll see how today 19th shapes out and come back to report. I already have a large amount of people I want to compliment so that should be easy peasy[emoji169]🧡[emoji169][emoji169]🧡🧡

Good morning! So on Saturday, I did the strength training. I did not get a massage much as I love them. Just not in the cards just now but it did make me think of making an appointment. Yesterday I went swimming in the sea for about 45 minutes and also did 70 minutes of yoga. I also took a nap! Yay!

For me, one of my number one favorite things to do is be in the sea or by the sea or anything to do with the sea so that is top of the choice list for self-care.

Oh yes, I already went to the gym today and got my 30 minutes of cardio in. I'll probably do my rest day on Wednesday.

B-Side Questions: MAC or PC? iPhone or Android?


Posting from my iPad and I still hate (after over 9 years) the only Android I’d ever owned.
That phone glitched so much it glitched while glitching.

Pretty much gave up on PCs about 3 years ago and get a new pad about every 2-3yrs.

I'm a PC/Android person. Always have been except for my Ipod...which used to be a Dell Jukebox. I prefer non-Apple products...I think it has to do with feeling like I have a choice about things.

Yeah Andy Android has always done me fine- Only owned 1 I-Phone, Tomkitten accidentally laundered it with my jacket. Found out ERA not only removes stains it obliterates Cell Phone MEMORIES, if I didn't love Him So Much. I might have had him Keelhauled for THAT MANEUVER! Current phone is Nougat system, cost dearly but I do love ITS speed and multi- functions. Now if I can keep Tomkitten from programming YouTube onto both TV's my day will go fine, it's his Latest Threat to exasperate Me!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
