Guess what everyone?

1)My B/P is too low to take my meds! I have to see PCP and let him decide what to do now. I can't believe it is happening so fast!

2) I tried on some smaller clothes today and I was able to get in a size smaller jeans that were brand new and I hadn't ever worn them. They have been hanging in my closet just waiting for me.

Yipee! I must be doing something right.

That's great Lolly! I too have come off one of my bp meds and have been digging in the back of the closet for smaller clothes. It's fun isn't it? And I've been shopping a good bit lately but am going to the thrift stores to buy my clothes. I feel like it's more motivating to wear clothes that fit...people tend to notice that you've lost weight and compliment you on your progress. Plus it just feels good to wear clothes that fit. Keep up the good work Lolly!

How is everyone? I just wanted to share that yesrerday i was goffing off and decided to try on some of my husbands sleep pants that are a mens medium and guess what the fit without being to tight. I still have a long way to go but that helped me a lot because i thought they were a large till i went to put them on and when i saw a medium i said they will never fit. Have a good day everybody

Yippee! You go girl! Doesn't it feel good to wear something smaller....even if it's your hubby's sleep pants?

I have a stack of size 22 waiting for me that my SIL passed on to me. It will be awhile but I'll get there. You just watch & see.

Congrats again.

Hey everybody! I know I havne't been on here in a long time, but I just wanted to pop in with an update. I am doing well. I felt back to my old self about 6 weeks after post-op, and 1/2 way through mushies I can't even tell I have the band, other than the decrease in the amount I can eat. I have never had problems with any foods, even when I swallow larger bites than I should (usually on accident). Never had a PB. I'm now 4 months out at 37 lbs down. I don't think I am restricted as much as I need to be, as I can almost eat as much as I did before. For example: yesterday I ate two hot dogs (FF turkey and light bread - so not fattening), but I don't think I should be able to eat two of them, should I?

I also just bought a new elliptical the other day (YEAH!) and it should be delivered next week. Can't wait!

Anyhoo. I am at 7cc in the Realize-C band, which I THINK holds 9CC (correct me if I'm wrong)

Anybody else have the Realize-C band? How many CC's did it take for you to get to good restriction? I KNOW everyone is different, and it can vary greatly. I am just curious.

Thanks everyone!

Wow it looks like everyone is Rockin and Rollin!! I hope to be at support group on Saturday. I am supposed to take some pictures at 8am at the Botanical Gardens that morning, but hopefully it won't take too long.

I ordered me one of them Body Magic fat sucker inny things this week. A girl I work with sells them and she wore it a couple of weeks ago and OMG!! She is small anyways, but it really puts things in their place (if you catch my drift). I cannot wait! They are kinda pricey, but appears to be well made and a good alternative to plastic surgery (for now).

Glad to see everyone doing well!! Hope to see ya'll on Saturday!!!

=)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
