my win today is successfully holding a straight handstand for just over 5 seconds! been working on this for a few months now and this is the first time i held over the 5 second mark (the goal is 10s...halfway there!)

i would like to note that i am 52 years old and this year is the first time i EVER did a handstand (of any length of time, outside of a cartwheel) in my LIFE.

💪🏼

i feel very accomplished lol

Hmm...my win is fitting into shorts that I bought last year that didn't even get on one thigh 🤣 and now I can get them on, with some room around the tummy and waist!

Added bonus win: the shorts are high-waisted denim, and I haven't worn denim in years and years because of my weight!

That is awesome! I had to also drop some tears I tried on old clothes and it's like I lost a whole person, I was going to get rid of my old clothing but I'll keep a few as a reminder !!

My win is I haven't had Red Bull or either type of energy drink for a week and I don't even miss them! I'm sleeping better as a result. It was a vicious cycle, couldn't get enough sleep, needed large amounts of caffeine, couldn't get enough sleep!

My win is being halfway done my fluids six hours into the day. I usually struggle to remind myself to Keep On Sippin', but clearly repetition can teach an old dog new tricks.

When I was fat I would have to go hunting in my wardrobe for clothes that fit. I would usually find nothing and need to buy new. It was so frustrating because I usually couldn't find what I needed and was never totally comfortable in my clothes

Now I can always fit in all my clothes, shoes and boots. I decide in bed in the morning which outfit to wear. Its a stress free joy.

My win for today is being able to work from home the last 2 days while sick (I'm a clinical medical assistant). I've been returning calls that come in on the MA line that we normally can't get to right away, doing prescription refills, authorizing controlled medications, working on prior authorizations, doing referrals, scheduling infusion treatments, sending in lab orders, and generally getting all 3 of us MAs in the office all caught up with our admin stuff that we have to do on top of all of the clinical stuff we do all day. Needless to say, they were quite grateful to be caught up lol They asked if we could each take turned working from home 1 day per week to do just admin stuff, but sadly, the powers that be don't like that idea. But it's a win for us that I at least got us all caught up now!!!

I don't have any pto time I can use right now, so I needed to be able to justify working from home and not just having 2 unpaid days out. At least this way, my boss can't say it was wasted money lol

  • 50% of bypass patients reach at least 166 lbs 18 months after surgery. Based on my starting weight of 271.

I'm coming up on my 12 month surgery anniversary (Aug 21st) and I'm already below this statistic as of today! I even did a happy dance (my pups thought I was nuts). 😆

I'm hoping with 6 months until 18 months that I'll be in this category:

  • 20% of patients reach 149 lbs 18 months after surgery.

If the above isn't enough, I met up with another friend I haven't seen in 6 months for Breakfast this morning, she walked right past me twice looking for me!

      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.
