That is so great! I am looking forward to the things that will be so much easier to do this time next year (hopefully) Having something to look forward to amd work towards always makes it easier to get through the bad days. Good luck with your training, I'm sure u will be successful at it 😁

Well that's awesome! Keep up the good, positive work. :-)

I am still learning to slow down my eating. Yesterday's nutritious grilled chicken salad came up cuz I ate too damn fast.

I am having enough fun with chicken and turkey. I could not imagine flank steak.

Keep your chin up, Apple! This won't last forever.

It's counter-intuitive but I figured it out. The goal weight you have to make on about the last time you were at that weight. I estimated that I was at that weight in about 1992 so I just set it for March 1, 1992. Now, everything shows up correctly. Somethings with B.P. are a little messed up.

Wahoo!!!!!

Love!!!

I feel you. My hormones are definitely out of whack, too (though it's not as bad now as it was the first couple weeks -- so it does get better). I sometimes just start tearing up out of NOWHERE, sometimes in the middle of a conversation. I warned everyone at work that if it looks like I'm crying, I probably am, but it's fine because it's just my body being ridiculous (everyone at work knows about my surgery).

Hey! As I write this, I am taking a heaping teaspoon of my own medicine. Please be kind to yourself. Remember that this is a journey and you can expect it to have ups and downs. As my surgeon says, recuperation and gaining health rarely happens in a linear fashion. Instead, focus on the overall trend. You can do this! You're worth it!

This was massively reassuring to me...that the things I was experiencing were normal and that it wasn't my weird ass body/mind. So I hope you don't think I blow you off every time you have a feeling or experience! You are affirmed!

Thanks, fluffster! Good to know I am not alone. :-D

Way to go!!

For me, as I am living on very meager means, if it were not for insurance, this would never happen.

March 14th is a blink in the eye of time! Believe me, it will pass faster than you think. I don't have a surgery date yet but I am using this time wisely to start developing the better habits needed for success after surgery. I have made it a soft goal to try to lose 30 pounds prior to the day of surgery. My insurance does not require it, but my body will sure thank me. You can do this!

Dayum! That's rocking it!
