I have tried to stay away from the scale once I hit 199. I keep my calories 600-650. I have no problems with drinking my water though. I go for a two month check up tomorrow. So I will get an official weight then. Glad to see everyone is doing well. @@marcia Happy to hear you are recovering well and on your way to better foods. It just keeps getting easier.

Feeling fabulous! Loving life and my new found energy. Had a great first WLS Thanksgiving. Surprisingly I was satisfied with what I ate. Had no desire for things I knew I couldn't have. Hope everyone had a great one! @@Marcia Sending prayers for a great recovery. Hang in there each day gets easier.

No need for a rich man! I do fine on my own. If anything I want someone to share my life with, that adds to my life. I don't need richness for that.

The race was great! Took lots of energy but I finished. I did need a nap after. I have been feeling great. Started 6 wk diet yesterday so far so good. Just posting an updated picture. I know I could have smiled but I keep a journal and that's what it's for.

I have my first 5k after surgery this Saturday. I have just started to work out this week and I will tell you that it is kicking my butt. I was someone that worked out 4-5xs per week. Just doing a few weights lifts yesterday wore me out tremendously. I am sure I will be walking this race at a decent pace, but may need a nap after. How is everyone's energy levels? I feel great, I just can't push myself workout wise like I used to. I know I will need to build it all back up, but I miss the burn!

I will tell you that the WWII museum is very interesting. We also have a wonderful Aquarium in walking distance of the area. Look up things taking place at the Saenger Theater s they have lots of great musical events going in during this time. Also checkout Gambit New Orleans. It is a site that keeps up with all of the happenings. Hope you enjoy your visit and our lovely city! Thank you! This will be our first trip to NOLA. I've been doing a lot of research, and it seems that for a first timer the French Quarter is a good area to stay in. We got a great rate at the FQ Hyatt. Traveling are my husband, daughter, 20 and son, 15. Arriving late on December 25 for 8 nights. My kids are well traveled and are up for anything - the usual attractions plus anything special for the holiday season. My son wants to visit Tulane, which surprisingly is open for admissions visits later in the week. We collectively play the clarinet, sax, piano, guitars and drums, so of course we're incredibly psyched about all of the music venues! Anything you'd suggest that is seasonal, or off of the beaten track? Are those swamp tours worthwhile? but I must admit I have a fear of reptiles! thanks - must be a very cool place to live!

@@Shakti I am actually in New Orleans. Message me if you are looking for things to do/see!

I have to set up my trainer again. So ready to feel the burn again!

Thank you! Slowly loosing but loosing! I was fully released today so now onto full exercises not just walking. Ready for strength training!

Down 22lbs ????

Can't wait to weigh today!

She's been busy! Lol jk Doing great! Go back to see my surgeon tomorrow for my month check in. Haven't weighed myself as I want to be surprised at the loss.

Happy Halloween
