I'm hoping I can manage this! I really need the extra motivation this time of year in particular...

1. My personal goal is to generally avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day.

2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing

3. CW 245.6, BMI 39.6 (just crossed out of morbid obesity - so proud of myself!)

4. I realize the challenge doesn't start until tomorrow, so for today I'll just say I'm grateful for this challenge! 😄

#1. I’m most grateful for my furnace today, it is cold and snowing here!

I can skip everything on that list minus white bread/flour. I don’t eat it often but it is one of my few vices and I deserve one!

eta: Gastric sleeve 8/18 maintenance

So um yeah... PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH -all thrown in the trash

Welcome to the November 2019 Challenge everyone.

There will be a few days where it may be impossible to be compliant. *cough* Thanksgiving, but the goal of this challenge is to clean up our diet/lifestyles enough that we don't treat everyday like a holiday (there are plenty coming anyway 😌)

1. My personal goal for this month is to drink more Water. I keep stalling and I think its because of the water intake.

2. I had the sleeve on 8/5/19 (post op & losing)

3. 312 lbs & 55 BMI

4. I'm most grateful for the extra 10 minutes of sleep I was able to get this morning :D I'm also just grateful that I have another day of life to live and that I woke up. God is good.

Oh and as far as the challenge goes, the no potatoes thing is going to be tough for me....

Day 1!

1. Avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day (so far so good, despite our treat table being LOADED with goodies today...)

2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing

3. CW 245.4, BMI 39.6

4. Today's question: What are you most grateful for today?

Today I'm feeling grateful for a lot of things, but since I'm in the midwestern US, I'm going to have to say I'm especially grateful for warm sweaters and blankets, because it's been COLD this week! Brrrrr.

Why'd you throw out the Kashi? It's one of the better things that I eat!

1. My personal goal for this month is to get back to regular exercise, even though it's not part of the challenge. Also, to clean up my diet. I've been having a self-indulgent little pity party going on since August and it needs to stop,

2. I had the sleeve Feb, 2018. Revision to Rny last Halloween. Maintaining

3. 151#, 24 bmi

4. Besides my family (given!) I'm most grateful for getting a "reset" button for my health and the possibilities that opens up for me.

It was just fun food for me and my NUT asked me to eat more vegetables for Fiber instead

      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.

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