Good Morning gals

I'm up a couple too Vicki, but I am sick and thinking that might have something to do with it. I'm not going to worry for a couple days until I get this under control. But, I can sure eat now, which scares me. I don't have a fill appt until December 10th but go to nutrition in 2 weeks.

I just can't worry about it now, I want to eat, and I want rice. I know sick right? It just taste so good when I don't feel good, and I ate some gramcrackers too. Just trying to make sure to drink extra Water or as much as I can.

I will not gain this weight back and I will lose. I have not walked in 2 days because of ds being sick, but no matter how I feel I'll be out today.

Have a great day, hope it is warmer there than it is here!

this is really wierd, where is everyone, it is like aliens came and gobbled you all up..

I lost 7 lbs, yeehaa!

Dr. H and Barb said they didn't want to touch my band cause my weight loss is good. and before they were taking it out and putting it in and I was all over the place, well, u all know that...

Val, I was talking with barb today and we were talking about how woman are tight in the morning and she said that they even have a patient who gets extremely tight when she flies and I know u travel with your job and was wondering if that affects u.

I also seen China today, she looks really good and said she would chime in today, but i guess she is a no show..lol...

where the heck are u guys Rain, biggurl, jenn.....Hello?

you know Val I am really surprized at that cause I have an appt on 12/15, However, she did say she was double booking me and even 2 weeks out she would have to double book me so maybe they are that full...I empathise with you cause I know last time I got unfilled, I gained 20 lbs, i have taken 15 off, but it has been a struggle...

Hello everyone

Saw Dr.H today and got a surgery date of Jan 18 !!

Could have had the week of Christmas but I will be going on vacation 2 weeks later so decided to wait til I come back.

Looking forward to this just still seems so far off.

Glad to see everyone is doing well with the weight loss :thumbup:

Maria, Congrats on your surgery date, and good choice waiting. I waited an extra month myself because we were going to Myrtle Beach for Easter, I had surgery the monday we came back

this is really wierd, where is everyone, it is like aliens came and gobbled you all up..

I lost 7 lbs, yeehaa! :thumbup::thumbup:Congrats!

Val, I was talking with barb today and we were talking about how woman are tight in the morning and she said that they even have a patient who gets extremely tight when she flies and I know u travel with your job and was wondering if that affects u. I get very tight after driving for a few hours, my 4hr drive to Atlantic City almost killed me, first time i thought it was something I ate, but we went back a month later, and omg, was just as bad and didn't eat anything bad that trip

I also seen China today, she looks really good and said she would chime in today, but i guess she is a no show..lol...

where the heck are u guys Rain, biggurl, jenn.....Hello?

I'm here, kids were sick and now that they are better, I relaxed and wham! Sick as a dog
vicki,

i really dont fly that much and when ive been tight before i havent been away. but im kind of irritated that i cant get in till 12/18. ive already started to gain

There are all kinds of crazy things that can irritate you, but great choice going to Dr. I went a year not going, and now that I'm back for regular check ups, I wonder why I didn't go before.

Have a great day all I'm going to get kids off to school and crawl back in bed

Im here but not too thrilled. Im up like 3 lbs and Im not sure why? Ive been trying to eat a lot of Protein blah blah blah. I think its a girl thing and will pass soon. Im thinking about not weighing myself for a week so I dont make myself crazy.

Glad to hear you lost Vicki. Good job. And flying definitely made my band tight. I had to use my barf bag on the plane both ways!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
