I am making a crustless pumpkin pie that is sugar free. No guilt for me over having a treat.

The only guilt you should have right now is what you made us do to this thread. You pushed us to do this, LauraK. Now look what you've done!:)

Way to make my morning!

Back to the real stuff, i am going to try to walk twice again today. I walked a total of 70 minutes yesterday, and I got a diploma from about.com for having completed my 10 week walking program! I feel kinda proud....also nsv I started out in xxl sweats and now am in xl stretch pants, the next pair will be large, and that will be pretty soon, because the ones I wear are loosening up after two wears! YEAH:thumbup:!

It is looking a little overcast here so we might just get that rain forecasted for the weekend.

That is all for now...

some pics of my walk yesterday:

Well I made it :thumbup:

Went in yesterday at 7:15am and was home by 3:30pm!

All is going well, the gas pain yesterday was the worst, but gasX is a good friend. Feeling pretty good today, drinking lots of Water, not hungry at all but sipped down an EAS shake.

So far so good! Glad to be on the other side of the fence :)

Csolo...welcome. I will let Janet respond to you (Indiogirl). Just wanted to tell you to jump in with any questions you might have.

As far as you friends are concerned. You wont be doing this procedure for them. If they want to support you in your decision and be there for you, that would be wonderful. If not, just go about doing what you feel is best for YOU.

Wishing you the best!

Dear Apples: Thanks for your reply. I am doing this for me, me, me! I too need to lose 130 pounds to be at my ideal goal weight and I will do it. It's so encouraging to see all these success stories. Were you banded or did you have the gastric bypass? I am being banded on Monday and am very excited ... and somewhat nervous. Keep in touch!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
