Jeni, I am so glad this round went good for you. Can't wait to see the new Jeni. Whoo Hoo!:crying:

Ok, This hint is so over due it is not even funny. If you get that stuck feeling have someone rub/tap your back which usually produces a burp which then takes care of whats stuck. No hanging over the sink pbing :drool:.

But I have good restriction the lbs are dropping slowly but definitely going.

I am in smores hell though everynight, with those damn over the burner smores. Damn girl scouts anyway for inventing them LOL :wub:

I guess I ma in a crazy mood tonight hence all the icons!

Happy hump day!

Just checking in and so far it looks like everyone is doing good. Keep up the good work and remember "I'll be watching you". That didn't come off as creepy as I was hoping, just do it in a slow Boris Caroloff voice and you'll get it.

Take Care,

Just checkin' in with my 2007 Marchies! You guys are amazing--goals! plastic surgery! life changes! Awesome!

I'm doing well. Turned 60 yesterday--that was a milestone for sure. I'm so glad I've lost the weight I have--it would have been a much harder day if I was old AND fat!

I was laid off from my job in January and spent four months traveling the country and seeing every one of my kids and grandkids--what a wonderful time I had! Precious memories. Then I started a new job and have been at it for 3 weeks. The learning curve is pretty steep but I'm hanging in there and am so grateful to have gotten a job. Sent out over 150 resumes before finally landing this one.

You guys are doing SO well--keep up the good work and good luck with the ps aftermath, healing, and bikini-wearing! Have a great summer, everyone.

Thanks, Carol. It was a good day--we went last night with a small group of friends and family to dinner and then to see Pixar's UP! and stayed till the end to see (and cheer) my son-in-law's name in the credits. It was exciting! Fun and tender movie, as I sat there next to my sweetheart of 41 years and thought of growing old together. A good day!

Mom Lambert,

Don't you wonder where 41 years has gone? We will be married 40 years this fall and I'm amazed that it has gone by so fast.

For sure, Carol! It's a big blur--we were SO busy and involved with life. It's nice now to have a little time to really be together without so many interruptions. Glad we still like each other!

      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

      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.
