And Praise GOD she can slowly sip and know AT LEAST THIS TIME she dodged the Hurricane Bullet! Well, we have a few tornados in Ohio but nothing as bad as you guys and gals in Tornado Alley or those Dorian hit on the East Coast! Praying things will go well for Everybody from Now On!☔⛅🌈😝

Day 6 - Had a nice workout at the gym and did 55 squats while in the backyard watching the dogs play. I like to think I plan healthy meals every day...anyway, had a nice salad with chicken last night for dinner.

Day 7 - I went out to breakfast with friends. Went to the gym. I did leg presses there and debated calling them squats too but decided to be safe and have done 60 squats. So far today, I haven't found a reason to ask for help.

B-side. My family members in Florida have all checked in as safe. Here we had steady rain and some wind but nothing major.

Planned healthy meal eating out: fam took me to Japanese and sashimi is PERFECT for halal Keto bariatric diet!! Had a brilliant time and was only mildly jealous of my daughter's veggie bento box (that General Tso's tofu is SOOOOOO good)

Day 6:
I came to the astonishing realization that I was the biggest eater in my house (astonishment is CRAZY because that's why I am obesed right?)!. We have had leftovers from labor day still sitting in both our refrigerators! Prior to surgery, it would have been gone or at least gone and I would fool myself in thinking my hubby and the kids and I made the dent!!!!🤨🤨🤨
So "I asked my hubby for help" in continuing the healthy nutrition we have embarked on (he is very fit, never dealt with weight issues) to establish good examples for our kids and he says he's on board[emoji106][emoji106]
He laughed out loud when I told him my observation about food and me!![emoji28][emoji28]
I think he has been truly impressed with my staying on plan in light of my fad diets through the years!!

Exercise: 55 squats done!! I hope it gets more effortless [emoji26]

B sided question: I had to take a moment on this! We were literally just in the Bahamas beginning of last month on a Disney cruise!!! Seeing the devastation on TV has been very sad and difficult to watch! My kids/family have donated some money online for relief efforts. I don't have any family members in any area where Dorian is leaving it's devastation but moments like this beings an attitude of gratitude sharply into focus. I've also been floored by how Bahamians have risen to the occasion with fortitude and strength even those that have lost EVERYTHING!!!!
God bless and restore them swiftly [emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡[emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]

Day 8:
Never been happier from a rest from squats!!![emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Listen to favorite music: was taking kids to girls scout meeting and one of my all time favorite songs came on coincidentally and I was jamming enough to embarrass my kids ( that's a victory)!![emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Day 8 - Rest day from squats! Went to the gym though. The only music I listened to yesterday was the crickets. I do love their song though.

Day 9 - Been to the gym, still need to do my squats. I read pretty much every day unless I'm super tired so that one is a given. I'll do my squats in between appointments - I get tired of sitting so this will help.

Have a great day!

I fell a little “behind” on squats this weekend. (Pardon my pun) I decided to update my main bathroom last week and it became a much larger project than I originally planned. Painting and priming burn a lot of calories though!

I take time to read everyday.

Day 9

40 squats done!! Getting a hang of these..

Read: reading is a lifeline for me. I read daily so got that done. Got home before kids were out from school and got my hour long alone time to read.

B-Side question: I have no idea what my gluteus goals are![emoji38][emoji38] It's never been an area of concern [emoji5][emoji5]
So we'll see..

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
