What part of TN do you visit? I know you are visiting family, right?

My parents retired to Nashville though we've lived all over TN. Where are you again? When I left Atl yesterday, it was 50 and it was 38 when I arrived. Brr! I am loving the sunshine today; we have had such dreary days for what seems like weeks!

This thread is hilarious!!! I just sat here and read the whole thing!

My confession: I called in to work today because I have a tiny sniffle, and just wanted the whole week off. I work at an elementary school, so I get sick really easy. It is my first year and I have been catching EVERYTHING!

Have you ever tried Zicam? I think it works wonderfully! (though I admit you're around a lot more germs than I am!)

good vibes on the way donna.

i myself have hidden the scale till 1.07.09.

have had an obsession w/the DS (DAMN SCALE) for quite a while - i put him up for the holidays..:smile:

confession - OK, inlaws.

firstly i get my inlaws don't care for me - if they want to see their son, i'm part of the deal .... and they're slowly adapting. dh struggles with that relationship as well - very hard to please individuals....which leads me to getting them a gift for xmas.

i've suggested no less than 2 dozen ideas, which when i fully know that all they do is watch FOX news (not picking on anyone here :(). hubby said we should get them a flatscreen yesterday, and today we bought them one. my deal is my family is not that extravagant at the holidays - it's all about the kids / grandkids.

so this is my deal - we buy them a flatscreen, i MIGHT get a $3.00 candle ... and they will never say thank you. Rude - can't wait for xmas eve:rolleyes:....oh i'll have had LOTS of wine:tongue:

I confess I'm very frustrated because the scale won't show me 183! I started at 213 on day of surgery so I've been taking progress pics at every 10 lb loss and it's ticking me off that my body is stubbornly holding on to that .5 lb! Everyone, please send positive energy flows my way focusing on those pounds melting off. If you all do it, I know the fat won't stand a chance!

Sent expedited positive wishes. Should be delivered by Dec. 24!!!!!!!!!!!:smile:

I say there is no cheating once you've been banded, EVER! You only cheat if you are on a diet and since we're not dieting but changing our lifestyle we just have to remember everything in moderation and choosing to eat something that's not healthy once in a while is OK. There's your Christmas present from me! Merry Christmas! :smile:

I confess that I don't understand how anyone with WLS cannot be a compulsive weigher. I weigh myself when I wake up, every time I use the bathroom and right before going to bed. This causes me to strip several times a day since I won't weigh myself with any clothes on. Good thing there isn't a scale in the office, else, I might have a lot of explaining to do! :(

I can tend to get compulsive about it, but it's usally first thing in the mornings only.

However, the last few days I hadn't weighed at all because I was scared to look because of all the holiday food. Little by little I was enjoying Cookies and candy (since enough food for a small, third-world country has come here), plus the parties and drinking. Finally got on today to see how bad the damage was and I had only gained one pound. Do-able. :smile:

Yeah, my in-laws are like that too.

We never have really sent them gifts (except for that cross-stitch I did for them one year), but they always sent large checks to hubby and put my name on the card too.

Over the last few years, and due to a big needed blow-up between hubby and them on my behalf, I no longer exist. Cards don't include my name, they don't ask about me, nothing.

So... since I am the one who does the cards AND was the only one who thanked them for their monetary gifts, they will receive no card from ME. Sonny boy never sends them, so oh well... If I don't exist, then they don't get cards from me. Problem solved.:wink:

Omg, are you sure your MIL isn't mine?? First thing she asked when DH told her about me was, "Is she fat?" Heck, at that time I was only about 30 pounds over my ideal weight. :(

My in-law confession, I'm not buying them a damn thing! I never get a present. I never get a card. I never get my name on the card. My MIL likes to call my DH over to her house and he comes home with a present, but me and my son don't exist. She ships tons of stuff to my step-daughter, but we can't even get a merry christmas phone call. I always bought her something anyway. This year? Screw her. DH NEVER buys her anything, but I always do so she will be shocked when she doesn't get anything. Oh well. If I don't exist, her damn present won't either. ha!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
