46, 315, 302, 217 surgery date 9/30/15

Mani pedis for small mile stones. Larger milestones, I ordered a pair of boots for 50 and a new satchel for work at 75. I still need to decide what my 100 treat will be.

I had surgery September 30th and I can eat about a cup, sometimes more if the food is soft. The more dense the protein, the less I can eat. On salads I can eat about a cup and a half with a chicken breast. I asked my NUT and she said this was about on track. She is not worried because I am still losing. I average about 1000 calories a day and she would like to see it closer to 1200. I'm trying, but not pushing. I have my 6 month visit in 2 weeks and I hope to talk to her more about serving sizes. Sometimes it scares me, because I watch you tubes of people at 6 months out taking 30-45 minutes to drink a protein drink. I have one every couple of days and I can drink it in about 15 minutes. Am I going too fast? I have no idea. I do know the longer it takes, the warmer the drink. I can't do room temp food or drink. Ice cold or very hot is where my tummy likes it.

I knit, crochet, spin, podcast and dye yarn. I'm in the process of turning part of my hobby into a business.

Because the old fashioned way didn't work all the years I tried it. So, I have decided to do what I need to do to be happy, healthy and live longer.

I set my Fitbit to give an alarm when it's time for me to eat something.

I have a card. Tried to use it twice with no success. Leftovers for the next day.

Working my ass off with a little help from RNY (VSG, LB, DO)

I'm THEHIGHFIBERDIET on Instagram. Not an rny only persona but a mix of my knitting, crochet, spinning, podcast, retreat and Wls.

You cannot change anyone but yourself. Accept your wife the way she is.

No one has said anything to me about this. My family would, in a very loud way. I think you just need to keep up on your dental care and keep your mouth wet by sipping all that water.

Zucchini boats(hollow with a spoon)stuff with ricotta cheese and spices of choice- roast in oven. Pasta sauce for dipping.

I'm 46- ex smoker and at 6 weeks out have what I call chicken skin. I have been using udder cream on my face and neck. Bar-maids.com also makes face pudding that works wonders too. I know this skin just needs time to rehydrate, but looking like the outside of a cold cut is not my idea of a fashion statement.

I'm 46.

We will hand out candy to trick or treaters. We love seeing the kids dressed up.
