At least I didn't get lost this month lol. Hubby is going out riding tomorrow. It's suppose to be 48 he said...still too cold for me lol Going with a couple friends to one of our favorite Holistic Healing type stores :biggrin: Need to pick up a crystal or natural stone for my friends daughter's bedroom. She hasn't been able to sleep, poor kid. I actually saged their house for them yesterday and seems it helped. :eek:

Sherry, thanks for starting the thread and sending me the "smaller" pictures. I even downloaded a new software program, chit!

You and hubby look awesome. You're such a doll baby, and such a sweetie.

Kat, I'm going to be posting more pictures, LOL, with Sherry's help. I'm just pssed right now cause I can't do it myself.

Kat we need some new pictures of you too, how about it girls, lets get an update of everyone. Kat the drains came out after week one, TG! That was truly the best thing, although it was nasty getting them taken out, YUK, needless to say my compression garment won't come off for good until I'm told by the doctor I can leave it off, as much as I hate it, because he said if I started holding Fluid he'd have to put the drains back in, NO WAY.lol.

Diane has lost so much in her face, by the way, did the bra fit?

Betty, I still need to get that bag of stuff out of my closet and get mailed to you, it would probably help if you'd pm me your address and I didn't have to research it, LOL.

I hate to whine, but I don't have chit to wear ;), my bra's I can get almost three fingers between me and the bra, yet the girls still look huge.

I did wear my 12 petite jeans and a snut shirt out the other night, not tooting my old horn, but I looked pretty good even for me. Folks couldn't believe I was out and about and shaking my booty to boot, after just a little over two weeks. I had cabin fever, had to get out.

Jetti, Diane, my motto, "stay away from the scales", it's such an up and down thing, in my first year, yeah, I did it at least every other day, now, maybe, once a month. I haven't weighed since my surgery, I'd probaby contribute it to Fluid anyway, (that and a few too many screwdrivers).

Don't laugh Diane.

Mandy, did the nose bleeds stop?

Kat, I asked my dh yesterday, if he thought I'd still remember how to ride my Harley this summer, of course, he said yes, but it's been over two years and it's so big and heavy, I just don't know if I trust my old a$$.

I'm on my laptop, so I'm going to get on my regular pc and see if I can make my pictures smaller, so I won't have to bother Sherry.

Pat, It's no bother at all I don't mind helping out. What I do is save my pictures onto my computer. Go to the picture I want to use and right click on it.....in the clock there is an option to resize pictures with different size options. I usually choose the "small" click that and it sizes it down saving it with the same file name but (small) added to it. See if that works for you, easy peasy. If it doesn't then after you right click the picture, click "open with..." and at that point I usually pick Microsoft Photo Editor and work from there. There are options on the top of that screen under "Image", then "resize" and at that point you're picking a percentage or inches you want to change it too.

Like I said I really don't mind helping out and I'll email em back to you to post if you want :(

I have such a splitting headache right now....don't think I drank enough Water yesterday. Of course it doesn't help I had a major stress day at work, tried to get a project done before closing the books so the client wouldn't get upset and just couldn't complete it. Staff made a HUGE mistake I was trying to fix! So my eyes didn't leave the screen, then got home and DH and DS were playing video games so I was stuck in the computer room again so played card games watched the smaller tv....yea my head has had enough! lol Gotta go take some Tylenol and drink some water.....

Hey has anyone noticed you can't get Tylenol Go Tabs anymore ;) Dang I really liked those...the liquid Tylenol does nothing for me :eek: Do they make them in your areas anymore? I'm willing to pay for shipping if they do. They're the only things that work for me.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
