Sweet as peaches

Hello Ladies, It seems that I post every weekend. My week went great i have been walking non-stop including sweating when I walked to work yesterday i felt like someone was chasing me. I even brought lunch to work and I am saving extra money. Walking with my hands on my hips keeps me balanced and holding on to the railing along the walk. My calves were hurting but I walked stop walked and stop while pacing myself. I even kept my calories in check and Water in take like crazy. Beautiful pictures @Newme17 love the collages. Hi @Apple1 sexxy mama love the excitement of your hubby seeing a new look. Ladies, you are all in thoughts throughout the day and I haven't been dancing a lot just a little bit here and there but when I am work i rise out of my seat for everything just to keep my strength up. My 12 year old on Thursday thought i was going to get a cab but i walk home instead talk about shocking her. Thank you all for everything love you all

I miss you guys as well. I received so much love upon my return to work. Also, i love skirts and they have been falling off dropping lower to the ground. The dress i have on now is falling also and my boobs are basically are non existent in this once tight dress. It's loose everywhere. Im so loving it.

Hi Ladies, I am doing well. This is my third day back at work. I have been walk ever since my calves hurt like crazy. And last night my baby had a GS meeting with badges been given out by her troop leaders. I walked home from there had a great time laughing and acting like my normally crazy self. Even said my kids hate to be seen with them because im always talking and friendly with others and tell embarrassing story bout my kids to others. So cute. I miss you guys and ladies you all look like sisters.

Good morning y'all. I'm home from work today. My baby girl is sick with fever and sore throat. I'll be taking her to the doc as well.

Last night I was examining myself, and I didn't think this would happen, but I just couldn't see any difference In my belly like I did the first week or second. Kept having to tell myself that it's only been less than a month, it takes time. I guess I'm eager to be 5-6 months out already. Lol. The biggest difference still so far, is in my face.

I went to the gym again. Did 15 min walk and weights on triceps, biceps, and chest. I didn't stay long cause I wanted to go to my church too, which happened to be right across the parking lot. Lol. Very convenient.

Anyway, hope you all have a blessed day!

I am so sorry to be missing your post but yesterday my daughter had a day off from school. We use olive oil to cook chicken patties and she made me two tiny chicken meatballs with lettuce wraps. Overall a great time. I hope baby girl is feeling better. Hi @Apple1and @mishyk hope you ladies are doing this Friday morning? Started reading posts today.

Hi! What great news!!! Amazing to think that in 2 months I will be able to eat regular food! I'm doing well...today for the first time I think I felt hungry! lol I am still on purée foods and am having a bit of a challenge with what exactly to eat...I have been eating the same thing for about 2 weeks lol maybe next week I will venture out and try something different. The scale is not moving but I expected that and hopefully soon it will!

So so glad to hear about ur success!!!

I move on to solids in two months as well. Oh yes by all means try new things it is truly fulfilling no pun intended. Yay!!!!!

So awesome!!! 26 lbs...and yes, dancing absolutely counts as an aerobic exercise!! Do you have the program Just Dance on a PlayStation or WII or something? That is a lot of fun and it's a great workout. But even just popping in some Latin music, or music of your choice, and moving is all it takes. Does your daughter like to dance? Y'all should have a dance off. 😊

Im happy it all went very well and you're having a great day!!

Well thank you so much. She laughs at me saying i can't dance. So i dance sitting down and get up here and there to do a little move but then i feel funny like dizzy so i sit and dance again. She loves dancing.

Therapy helps a lot especially when people upset you like that it is a legitimate venting way also they can five you the tools to handle those intolerable situation. It is a same the world is more accepting of a drug addict but being overweight people act like you are take money out their pocket to feed yourself. Good for not going to jail for trash.

Hi Ladies, I went to my 1st post-op appointment with my surgeon and dietitian. Got there late but saw them both. My diet is advanced to soft foods in 2 months solid foods. I lost 7 more pounds from my visit with my pcp. The total amount since my surgery was 26 pounds from 380 to 354. They want me to incorporate aerobic exercise along with the walking. I asked do dancing count cause i dont have a treadmill or a stationary bike. So they it was fine i will join a gym once im back to working. Overall a great day. Yay!!!! I look forward to seeing your before and after photos @Newme17. Hi @Apple1 how are you doing? @patty0715 how is it going? @mishyk Any new happening with meals and dates?

Btw!!! @mishyk I am totally liking your new profile picture.

Given that we had the surgery on the same day.. does it hurt your stomach or put pressure on your stable line when u eat chicken and veggies? I thought i messed up when i had a little bit of mash potatoes.. i put sour cream on it to make it softer.. i was on a date and my date doesnt know about my surgery so i had to play it off.. of course i had to pack it to go and then gave it to him to take home. But i aas worried that mashed potatoes were too much.. plus another question.. earlier that day i actually finished a whole yogurt my stomach felt soo fulll i started getting scared that i stretched something... how do i know if my sleeve is still good? Im scared of the full feeling.

You went on a date? Gotta give details is there going to be a second date?

Heyyy soo i popped mine too on tuesday.. it hurt in the night and morning but then the pain went away and it never came back.. so i'm guessing some of you girls experienced it? It was by my right side by like where i think the gallbladder is or like behind the biggest cut. What did the doctor say to you girls? I thought i messed up.

Yesterday, i did experience that pain again and it felt better after walking it off. Mine came after eating a piece of hamburger.

Good morning hope all is well with everyone. I had a busy day yesterday went to my daughter school bbq walked a few times there. It was a long path to get to the bbq. @Apple1 your cheese recipes look delicious. I hope you will be ok while your husband is away. We are always here for you.@Newme17 how's mom doing that is great to see family stand by one another so proud.

I am feeling better @Sweet as peaches, thank you for asking. The pain is still there but much less this morning.

i have a question. Do any of you know what a "Snowflake" is? I saw this word in someone's signature stating " if you are a snowflake" ..... I have never heard this term before, but I think it is being used in a derogatory way.

You're welcome.

I am having a pain tonight on my left side. I am wondering if I did too much reaching today at work. I guess theses little aches andpains are normal right now. I may take a Tylenol if it keeps up.

my dh is leaving tomorrow for a two week training exercise with his guard unit to Fort Drum. So I will be flying solo the next couple of weeks. I went shopping on my way home and it was hard buying for just one person for meals considering how much I can eat at a time..lol.. I am so glad it is Friday and I have the next three days off!

Hi @Apple1 how are you feeling today? Hope all is well.

So far I have stuck to my plans today. But getting a little hungry. I'll drink Water till I know for sure.

Awful news....My mom is in the hospital with a very large blood clot in her lung. 😔 It's by the grace of a God that she had a cat scan today to see the progress of her chemo treatments that they found it. I'm anticipating that it gets treated and she comes out fine. We shall see.

Oh I am sorry to hear bout your mom. I am praying that all is o.k. I am really thankful she had the test and they picked up on it. God is absolutely wonderful. Truly amazing.

I'm on a ppi med too for six weeks. After that we'll see if it's an issue. I had it before the sleeve but it was only triggered by super spicy, acidic, and high fat foods. I suspect that when staying away from these, I should be fine post op too. But I also heard the ppi is good in he beginning to help prevent ulcers in he beginning healing phase. Hope you find relief @Sweet as peaches.

Oh yes. Protonix is what I take.

Wow!!! Good for you to walk it hon! I can understand being pooped on your way back. Just think, it's gonna get easier and easier. 😊

Are the comedies comedic? Which one is more funny than the other, British or Australian? I'd have to look in to them myself.

They are equally funny. The ones I like are Spy, Green Wing, All Saints which comedic and dramatic, Whites, Rake, the delivery guy, and offspring. I am up early due to extremely bad heartburn. Enjoy your day its effects is kicking in finally able to rest.

Yeah you did but I doubt I even ate an ounce a time though. These past two days I feel like I'm restricted even more. It's just weird.

Where is everyone? I miss you all!!! 😊

Hi ladies, yesterday day I went to my daughter's school performance and I walked there. Returned home barely able to walk. So i just rested the whole day today and still in pain but able to move around. I will get and walk tomorrow. I'm glad your day went rather well. Continued success and I'm missing you all as well. Also, I was watching Australian and British comedies on hulu. 😎

Good morning y'all. I woke up in pain. This side pain that feels like a strict pulled or something is worse. I did ask the surgeon about it yesterday. He says it's totally normal. It's a bruised muscle. Ouch! It's so painful today. So much I realize I'm holding my breath at times. I want to just stay home but I missed work yesterday. I tried putting my binder on and it made it worse, I wasn't thinking I was actually pushing against a bruise. Anyway, tylenol for me today. I hope you all have a great day!

Wow, omg I hope that pain went away after taking the medicine. The pain is excruciating and here is hope to you feeling better.

So today my system has gone way over to the other side and I have literally been running to the bathroom. This is complicated by the fact that my lab is a bio- control lab with a quarantine facility. Most of my work is inside quarantine which requires me to suit up before entering and strip it off on exiting. There is no restroom in quarantine....

Y'all would have been laughing at me today if you could have seen me trying to get out of my suit, I am sure I set a record for. Quickest exit from quarantine... 😂🤣

That's something else. Yeah we you hear the rumbles fast action requires a response. Tada.
