  1. Healthy, wealthy and wise ? Meh......how 'bout two outa three. Yeah, that's it.....that's the ticket. Healthier in every imaginable way.......and recent events have allowed glimpse of budding wisdom, dare I say. Wealth was spent on medical events and self funding the sleeve surgery last year....ouch, but oh so worth it. Looking forward to being one of the hombres that gets his checkups every so often and the proactive dental visits. Other than than....my only cash outlay for medical stuff is my gym membership. LOL. The new life sure beats the old life. Why did I wait so freaking long. Feels good to be on solid ground and looking ahead with anticipation and hope. Spring is coming and I'm READY !!!!

  2. 9 months post op and the loss is so agonizingly slow but is still happening. I have always said I am in this for life so trying to stay focused.

  4. Now that I have started some treatment on my Lymphedema, my weight has been really dropping again.

      Wonderful. I hope it brings some relief... my sister has it in her legs and says it is also painful and tight feeling.

      It isn't silly at all. It is a huge milestone, just like getting out of the 200s.... For some reason anything under 150 sounds so normal...

  14. Geez, I should have done this sooner!

  15. Accidentally bought the Syntrax Naturals Vanilla protein instead of their Vanilla Bean Torte flavor. Ick. Do not like.

    1. liannatx

      liannatx

      Maybe you can add a few drops of Vanilla extract or some Torani syrup to it to make it better... don't let it go to waste!

  16. I just can't seem to get into Onderland and stay there. I keep hovering at 199 then back to 201 then back to 199 then to 201. WTF?!! It's been like a month of doing this. Will I ever get over that hump?

      I stalled too at the same weight! I switched things up for a week by upping protein to 90-100 and cutting my carbs to under 20. I think my calories went up to like 800-900 too, because I was eating a lot of steak, eggs, and meats. It busted my stall though. I went back to my normal goals and have continued my normal (slow) rate of loss. It is so frustrating to stall right there on the cusp of the 100s!!!!

  17. GOAL WEIGHT DAY!!! I finally made it! My original goal was 175, then 150 (normal BMI), then 140 (some wiggle room in normal bmi), and finally 135 (so I don't have to see 140 again, lol). Surgery was December 11 last year. I can't believe it happened in less than a year. This has experience and surgery has exceeded every expectation I've had. Thanks to my Bariatric Pals for everything- the support here has helped me immensely. Now on to maintaining! I think that's the part I'm most nervous about actually.

      I want that done! As a child of the 80s I have one ear with 6 piercings, lol... but never wear them.

  20. Became so upset with a customer service rep, I swore at them over the phone... not my finest moment. Taking breaths and calming down as it's going to be a great turkey day with my wife an kids. Have a lot to be thankful for tomorrow, and it's easy to forget that at times. Will deal with T-Mobile after the weekend.

      Enjoy your holiday with fam... that crap can wait until Monday, and may not seem as frustrating by then!

  21. What are you thankful for? Me, I am thankful for this new lease on life

  22. HALFWAY to goal as of today!!! Whoop! Whoop!

  23. Surgery date 10th dec. anxious, excited, worried bout post op clear soups. Have made some soup and frozen but don't think its classed as clear

      Swanson has a Mexican Tortilla flavor that is like Chicken Tortilla soup! Also, boil plain chicken broth with carrots, celery, onion, and strain! So much better! I mostly drank VitaminWater Zero, Water, and Isopure.... but the broths are great at dinnertime.
