Terry, you are sooo organized!!! I did a quick check on airfares, and they are lower right now. Still not sure if I will drive or fly. No direct flights here. I hate changing planes. Plus at the weight I am at right now there is no way I will be able to buckle my belt!!

I get my fill hopefully in a week and a day!! Maybe I should make that my new ticker!!!

Cheer up Tracy!!!! I am gonna call you!!!!!!!!!

Good evening, Violets. I'm finally back from church and still feeling like !@#$. I'm going swab my nose with Zicam, take my Clariten and head to bed. It's been a long day and I've done great on eating. Had a slice of cheese for Breakfast, a half stuffed pepper for lunch and at the church reception, I had 2 black olives, 1/2 deviled egg, 1 slice cheese and 2 cocktail weiners with no sauce. I'm ready for a little Soup and bed. Everyone have a good evening. sleep well. Ethan comes at 8 tomorrow morning for the day so I hope I'm feeling better in the morning.

Terry.. when do we need to have the balance of the payment???

Laura.. tell me again what airport we will be coming into. I need to start comparing flights. I will be flying out of Detroit so there won't be any chance of me taking 10 hours to get where I'm going this time!!!

11 of us going, so 10 will be paying, correct??? Is that what the final figure is based on?? I'm not going to get my checkbook out until the dust settles on this auction!!

I am waiting to look into airline tickets, we were informed last night that lay offs start tomorrow, so if that happens, I will be out.....

Long day.

Had quite a night at the company party. They had a hypnotist, and hynotized several of the employees, had them doing everything from the guys acting like Victoria's Secret models, to singing Brittny Spears....thinking they were body builders, and cows--------all kinds of things, I laughed so hard my stomach muscles hurt!!

Finished up the building in the shop, now we finish up the paint tomorrow....kinda sad to see it completed, it was fun doing it, and yet I am thrilled with the finished product.....

Well I have to get to bed, it was after 2 AM this morning with a Gruene type of night (read wayyyyy too many drinks!!) So now I am going to bed! Take care and see ya tomorrow!

Okay, just had to share this. I was throwing away an old page a day calendar, based on the book "The Secret", I never read the book, so I didn't really use the calendar but for scrap paper, well I was throwing it away when I thought I would just see what it said on my birthday, and here it is--

"If you wish to lose weight, then the most important thing--more than anything else--is to be in joy and to be happy now, despite your weight. If you can be in joy now, to the point where you feel so good that the weight doesn't matter so much anymore, then it will fall away. The only thing keeping the weight there is your resistance to it, and when you are in joy you will let go of your resistance about your weight."

Wow, I have been so angry and upset lately, about a lot of things but my weight is a HUGE issue right now. food for thought!!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      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.
