Still not Fixed Up, ready to cater my Own Pity Party, I am losing much hopefulness about the whole Proceeding. And yesterday by accident? I never lost conciousness during the attempt, didn't hurt, had numbing medicine sprayed in the back of my throat that you gargle and then swollow down, stated I would be going to sleep-*- *well I laid there and watched on the monitor just like Dr Noria did. Asked the 2 other doctors, the nurse and most of all, Dr Noria? Did you guys realize I remained awake? Dr Noria got a look on her face like a child caught taking a swipe off the top of a freshly frosted cake and licking her fingers **Changed the subject, said" I dialated you to 10 mm", sounds good until you realise before first attempt I was at 9 mm.Progress IDK, do you? And I am at 7+weeks, a point where many, if not, all of my Surgery Day twins, Sleeve or RNY, are on purees and transitioning to soft and regular foods. Yeah ***I know we ALL make our journey toward final health, final size and weight goal, and a Bee-You-tee-full Future but OMG do I even have one? Someday I will be the scrawniest, sad-looking old broad seen, carting a thermos of bone broth or something similar. And watching the rest of the WLS community bouncing by happily. I expected hard, difficult but Mount Everest, Mount Denali even Kilimanjaro all in one, Nope didn't book for that?🎢🌆

Also- keep in mind that as you lose weight, you’ll have to push harder/increase the intensity to hit your target heart. So yes- a heart rate monitor is essential! I think fit bits do this.. and I know the Apple Watch monitors heart rate during workouts.

I don't know if this is going to help you but did you ever read about "goals" - like what happens when you reach one? People need goals. Best is to be prepared in advance: "What will be my next big and challenging goal once I have reached this one?" Weird as it sounds but sometimes people fear reaching their goals because they fall into this big hole once they reached it. So what's your next big goal? It doesn't necessarily have to be fitness or health related but it should be big and challenging.

Yeah, she super doesn't fall asleep on her own. I was thinking of laying in bed with her till she falls asleep but her tiny bunkbed isn't supposed to hold more then 250 lbs. I don't even know how to get her to fall asleep without me. I don't mind sleeping with her but I WOULD like her to be able to sleep in her own bed for a few short weeks when I will be in a lot of pain. Then she can go back to sleeping with me if she wants.

Leta Mae, you went from Hi ya to Come here,Mister! I'm what you have been searching for! Girl you do look so Fine!

Trust and have faith and fear is just a lier! You got this! Prayers for you and your journey.

I brought my neck pillow, my personal defuser, my cell phone and charger, and a pair of slippers to walk the floors with.

I will continue to post nutrition articles that are of concern to bariatric patients. We are adults. Those who appreciate them can read them. Those who don't....can either continue to whine and cry about them....or act like adults and simply ignore them. I've been thanked privately and encouraged to continue posting. I'm happy to do that for those who find it of use.

Congratulations! You must be so excited. Hope everything keeps going smoothly for you!
