Last night I skipped dinner because my stomach was feeling just odd. Thursday night my son had a stomach flu maybe it was a touch of that, but this morning I could barely stand up and sit down with my 9 month old God son in my arms. It was a bizarre feeling I haven't had since my heart problems started 10 years ago. I squatted down to pick something up later and seriously did not have the energy to stand back up. Until yesterday I have met my Protein goals and have been feeling great.I'm pushing the liquids and ate protein once today all though I could not eat much. If it is not better by morning, I'll call in, with my bum heart I have always had down days where I was so tired I had to rest maybe I'm getting spoiled so today caught me off guard.

I have been miserable freezing since surgery, I'm 5 weeks out, but this week have warmed up quite a bit. I am still needing socks at night and not running around in shorts or no coat. But it has also been a warm week here in OK. I'm going to be cold, I accept it and try to remind myself that one of my biggest goals was not to sweat through my clothes even in winter. But dang I hate my feet being cold!!

Have them lean way in and whisper "faeries".

Unfortunately some people are not able to live up to our expectations for ourselves. Sounds like your a really kind and giving person and she's just not quite there. You have to decide if that's something you can live with, and lower your expectations. There is no right or wrong here, your feelings count.

Baby sat a 1 year old tonight, cleaned like a crazy person since it was kinda a last minute thing. I spent the whole night up and down off the floor and running crazy. I realized I am not nearly as tired as I normally would have been. Now I'm finishing up Dr. Who and then watching Moon Struck. Don't judge me, I am a woman of various tastes.

Welcome fellow Okie!!!

I had a picture from this time last year pop up, it helped me put how much I have lost in perspective. The Jeggings my sister insisted I buy a couple of weeks ago actually fit more comfortably. Which she says are too big. lol

I had the same problem with being tested to be a bone marrow donor because of my heart issues it was a no go. I think it just means you are meant to help your friend in other ways.

I have always logged the after cooked weight. That may be wrong.

Yes, Dec 21 2016.

3 months seeing the dr and participating in the program, history of non surgical weight loss attempts. Letter from my PCP agreeing to see me afterwards and support me. Of course a list health issues.

Can I please borrow your wife? I don't see why it would be a problem and I'm going to look for it. I'm just done with shakes and I force them down. A new flavor would be heaven.

I wish it had been available at 27, good for you for not wasting years of your life and making this happen now.

I am so sorry, it's his problem not yours. Stay strong and do for you. love and prayers.

Black and White, looks amazing!!! You've done the work, show it off!!!

Sooooooo nobody is asking lol. 45 pounds down nothing. Small town, I'm telling ya. The only people I did not want to share or have know about my surgery until it got around was my ex and his family. Just non of his or their business, they live out of town so no big deal. I ask my 17 year old son just to keep my medical stuff private. Then I started to feel guilty, I didn't want him to have to lie so I set him down and told him if he was asked he could be truthful. He said ohhh dad already ask why you were having surgery, I told him you wouldn't want him to know. lol Well the truth is the truth.

I had to use a suppository, it helps within an hour.

Been thinking of you today, this is the beginning of a grand adventure. Keep your eye on the prize which is feeling so much better. I'm 1 month 4 days out, it was not easy but I'm feeling more and more normal.

I have to weigh everyday due to my heart condition. I have to watch if there is too much fluctuation and take meds accordingly. I only count my weight on Mondays regarding weightloss.

SOBE lifewater 0 calorie. My NUT approved it.

I tried to chew Jello. We were all there, you got this.

I had once c-section and two other open surgeries and the sleeve was a breeze compared to any of those.

Throat punch.

You go girl!!!!! So exciting!!!!

It's not over till it's over. You know the changes you need to make to kick yourself back in to gear. Build on you past success.
