Recommended Posts

I bought a skirt and dress from Goodwill today. I used to not enjoy thrifting because nothing ever fit me that was fashionable/nice as I was a size 4X/24+. Now as a M/L, I can actually find some stylish and vintage pieces, try endless things on, and walk out with something. I hated buying plus size clothes because they were few and far between and so expensive. It's nice to be able to thrift. I found a really cute 90's romantic black skirt, def vintage and I love it.

I love thrifting. I never found clothes either. I’m starting to find them already, though. I am buying them in sizes smaller than I am now. Giving me something to look forward to. Thrift stores are an excellent place to find exercise clothes. Many of them are practically brand new and then people that do use them drop sizes like we are so they are always being donated. I need to go and start looking for something for holiday lunches. I have a few craft groups so I will have at least three lunches in addition to the family stuff. And for that I guess I need clothes too. I have been living in my exercise clothes for the past two months because they fit and they are so comfy. I guess now my incisions are healed I should find some pants that fit. 🀣

I'm just so excited! Not Onederland in the traditional sense because I'm using metric, but I'm very happy!

I agree with @Lilia_90 working out in the morning is the way to go! No excuses if your up at 430 putting in work! its when I do mine too and then I run on my lunch break at work. I know myself I wont do it if its after work lol Even on the weekend I am up at 6 before the fam gets up! I go to Planet Fitness $30 a month it has what I need, and I am able to get a solid workout. 45min weights and 30min cardio. That is awesome! get it girl, keep it up!!

Today’s win was that my strength training class must be paying off a bit. I was able to Shampoo and condition my hair really well and my arms did not get tired at all. I used to have to stop and rest them because they were so weak.

ooh and I got out some smaller clothes last night and wore actual clothes for the first time today since surgery. I have been living in YOGA pants. Just jeans and a black top so I could wear my Halloween earrings but if I’m being honest I feel like I look pretty good 😊

Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates. Happy Thursday to anyone who does not.

My win is that I have had zero Halloween candy so far, even though its been in my house and at my office all week! This is a big deal for me because sweets were always my go to before surgery.

That is hard and awesome! What I wouldent give for a Kit Kat, Twix, Peanut Butter cups, butterfingers, snickers πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I bought peanut butter cup molds from Temu and I make a from scratch healthier version of the peanut butter cup. I will not give up sweets I eat them In healthier versions. My sweet tooth from hell never left all that much!

so i would normally buy up all the Halloween candy that will be on sale tomorrow, but this year i'm probably gonna go easy on the clearance section given my recent aversion to eating.... kinda a win, right?

This is the recipe for the chocolate that goes in your Peanut Butter cup molds. I do not use honey..I use a sugar substitute personal preference. The filling I do homemade unsalted cashew butter in my ninja or homemade unsalted peanut butter in my ninja for the filling. You can play around with it.

      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.
