Good Morning Gang.....

Karri - Coding omg that would be the pits.. Ya it's good for him to see what you do - how nice that he offered to help... Can't wait to hear about the saka ;0) Glad to hear that you are getting a little romantic in your old age - it's sorta fun ;0).

Hope the head feels better today after some sleep..

Karla - What the hell have you done this last week - you didn't go on a cruise... Cut the carbs and quit using the word Hope - you will get this weight off - yes a fill will help - but it's that whole sandwich you ate - it's the carbs - they make you retain Water..

Phyl - How are you feeling today?? I know you are going home for a few days.. But forget when - are you flying out of Palm Springs...

Candice - How the painting go - are you and Peter doing anything for V day..

Well not much to report - I went to bed early 9 and then woke up are midnite ate some trail mix and pb'd - up now having coffee - another day at work..CBL

Flying out of Palm Springs this morning... around 10:30. Feel like crap. Trying to eat omelet Earl made me but not having much luck. Afraid it will come back up if I eat... sick to my stomach, coughing, congested, headache, slight fever. Have to get in the shower soon. Can't find my handicap window thingy. Picking up a rental car at the airport. Tracy said I could've borrowed SIL car but had extra miles that were going to expire that paid for rental.

Janet, I ate one damn sandwich!!!! I'm just really ticked off at myself and life in general.

Was just crawling out of the shower when a realtor called, they were 5 minutes away and wanted to see the house. I had everything out for coffee dinner, DD#4 left her room a disaster this morning, dogs where hyper, Jordan peed in the garage as I was trying to get them in the car and I didn't see it. AND after all that, they stayed a whole 10 minutes. I don't even care, I care more that my latte got cold. My car was stacked with school stuff because I had spent the entire afternoon talking with textbook venders and talked them into giving me a stack of free stuff.

I haven't been able to exercise, the hangy downy hurts too bad. Right now walking is painful. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and call the doctor. If I can't exercise, I'll gain weight.

Sweetie the one sandwich didn't make you gain 6 lbs - there are other things going on- are you logging your food - maybe some of that 6 lbs has to w/your prolapse and yes you need to bite the bullet and get it ck'd out..

Who cares if the dog pee'd in the garage - it's a garage ..

What time do you leave for school - hell I wouldn't want anyone in my house til at least 8 a.m.

Morning ladies...quiet night last night!! Watched TV and worked on an applique quilt since all my 'machine' projects are packed. It is what people here call a 'Promise quilt'. Hand pieced and quilted with flannel as the batting. This is about my 6th one. I have half squares pieced and then I am appliqueing the other half. I may 'cheat' and machine sew the blocks together even though that is against the 'rules'. Steph, how Nick and Jaz's quilts going?

Well after today it is all down hill for the week. Janet, only 2 more days until your furlough day!! We have monday off for President's day. YEAH a 3 day weekend.

My quilting friend that has been diagnosed with lymphoma has all her tests today to determine if it is hodgkins or nonhodgkins. So we will spend a few extra prayers.

Check in tonight, TTFN

Good morning,

Yesterday is the day that normally kills me. Today is my easy day. I only teach 2 classes...AP Chemistry and Physics. It is GLORIOUS.

I went to the gym this morning and did my 500 calorie burn. I have my walking jogging class this afternoon so I will get another workout in.

My boobs are feeling much better. Still hard in a couple of spots but overall, doing much better. I need to go to the doc and get my Vitamin B12 shot...I'm a little late and I can tell. REALLY, REALLY tired.

Well I have a staff meeting in 3 minutes so I had best head downstairs.

chat later

Do you have GNC Vitamin shops in Canada?? That’s where I got mine – it’s made by pure Protein – Target carries choc shakes – but not the banana – so Walmart might too..

Yesterday I didn’t add any real banana – was still good but I like it better with a little real banana in it – it is a little chocky w/out it – nothing bad – but adding fruit does make it like a real milkshake…

Karri – glad you have an easy day – I got vit B12 nose spray $225 though for 2 months supply – you do it once a week – I don’t know if I will continue, can’t say I feel any better to tell the truth… I think I may be sleeping better

I flaked on the gym last night – had to go by bank to get $$$ for trip and tonite will work out w/Idrise & Vicky – (arms) The resort we are staying at has a gym – so will take tennis shoes and some workout clothes – hell these are my mentor girls – so I gotta set a good example – and work out Friday & Saturday – LOL !!!!

I thought about taking carry on – but may do ck bag – it’s easier in a way – then I don’t have to worry about liquid limitations..

I don't know about the nose spray. We tried supplements (sublingual and oral) before the shots with NO luck. My body will only absorb the shots. I can tell a HUGE difference.

Have fun in Florida! I think I finally have my workout/food schedule down...Only took 7 months!!!

Ya Janet, Have a SUPER Trip to Fla... enjoy your other "girls"... hee,hee... they can't be as much fun as US...:bored:

Well my old Boss offered me my old job back yesterday. She has finally decided t FIRE the bimbo at the front desk... so now she wants to know if I'll come back to work for her...No Way!!!

My patients have all been asking for me, and why did Mardi let me retire....yada,yada, yada... she is SO dumb...

I "might" go back to do the odd emergency sickness fill in or a vacation coverage... but that's it... I don't want it back in my life as ROUTINE... I miss my patients, (and the mad-money) but that's it... oh yeah, and I'm giving myself a raise too... if she wants me back to cover emergencies then she is gonna have to pay the RATE I choose.:thumbup:

Happy Birthday Kari :rolleyes2: :lol:

      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.
