I ended up having broccoli cheddar Soup from Subway for lunch - which left me hungry after about half an hour. We had a nice chat. He grew up in a small town in Kansas and is really old school. His consultation for his colonoscopy is Wednesday. He brought in a dvd of his band playing to show me, but it wouldn't work in the dvd player in the class so he is going to try to redo it.

As my daughter and I were heading to the car after school, a mother I know from track practice last year stopped me and said she wanted to be thin like me. I don't even remember her name - she wanted to know how I got so thin - I said eating right and exercising. She wasn't even heavy - and I am not thin by any means. But it did make me feel good. So good that I had Peanut Butter m & m s for dinner. Someone slap me quickly. I had a really happy day and then I eat m & m s. :frown:

So is the walk canceled? Feel free to text me later if we're on or off.

I had a bad food day. We had a mexican food potluck today at work. I brought chicken since it was healthy. Of course, I kept going after the chicken... I had a large slice of cake. It was pretty good too, but then I just felt sick! I think I'm just not used to that much sugar. I totally crashed. Oh, and the cookies! I made 2 batches of Cookies for the fella to take to his guys weekend. Now his plans changed, so my house is full of delicious, evil cookies!

tina - tell me again, the year make & model of the car so I can see if it's something they can do....

Heather - I have no idea what's going on tomorrow - I know the petaluma thing is cancelled because the trail is closed... other than that - I'm not big on outdoor activities so I have no other suggestions... and I haven't heard from anybody else yet ... I'll txt you if I hear anything.

Tamra - be strong girl! hope everything works out

Hey ladies, just getting home. Ugh had 2 cocktails with my girlfriends. My head feel like it's going to explode. I haven't had a drink drink in a while. I know I won't make it on the walk if we're still going.

Can't type much more I need to lay down....Can't believe it I used to be a pro at this.

I'm getting my liver all nice and fat this weekend. I had to stick all those evil Cookies in the freezer. They were my Breakfast, and I couldn't eat cookies all weekend! Ugh. I think I have to take them in to work on Monday. I jumped on the scale about an hour ago and I was up like, 5 lbs. So I'm not getting on the scale again. I did 20 minutes on the bike, and I'm going to the gym in a bit. I just don't really feel like doing anything today, but at the same time I'm bored! Ugh. Off to do dishes, and laundry, and do what I can for school while my book still hasn't arrived. I forgot about the paper I have to write, it's about the first 3 chapters of the book. I joined the class late and didn't order the book until the 2nd class, but still! I paid for expedited shipping, and I don't feel like its being expedited! Wish me luck...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
