Day 27- current struggle? Getting enough calories and keeping up my sodium. I ended up in the ED after getting dizzy, lightheaded, and collapsing at work. Once again my sodium had tanked. Got some fluids and electrolytes and went back to work. This is a struggle I hate, it's dangerous and difficult to keep up, as propel or Gatorade makes me bloat so bad. and I don't use salt when I cook

Exactly! It's not good value [emoji24] so unless it's a special occasion or for the meeting peeps, I don't much see the point.

Eating out? I try to stick to an omelette, fish, chicken. Honestly I can count on one hand how many times I’ve gone out to eat since surgery. Seems like a total waste of money now

When eating out I try to plan ahead and know what I'm eating before I get there. Earlier this week I promised my oldest a special mom hang out day. She wanted to eat at a biscuit sandwich place. Not ideal but Im glad I went with the flow. She really enjoyed hers and had my leftovers for lunch/dinner. I ate 2-3 bites of the chicken from inside and a swipe of the gravy. Yes, that's a homemade pop tart in the background which I did not touch. I'm so thankful for this surgery-wasnt even tempted!
The stir fry is much more representative of how I eat out. (That's the after pic by the way)

Jan. 26th:
How I eat out:
Usually I stick with coffee, tea or Water if there isn't anything I can have, or I already ate. I also try to carry a Protein candy bar around. I love grabbing something from a market way more than a restaurant. But during my Don't be DB 2019 Campaign, i practice flexibility while maintaining *some* control. Behold, Diner food w/my Ex...
you know he paid, in more ways than one, and all the left overs were his 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How I eat out: I've always had to wrestle with restaurant menus, coz I can't have anything with alcohol or non-halal meat so that usually means fish or veggie (unless they put wine in the sauce, the meanies).

So, that my cuts the menu down to a couple of good options and from that I try and pick something that isn't too fatty, creamy or sugary. Often I'll do an appetiser and a salad or Soup.< br>
I ask that the side of chips is taken off, and refuse the bread rolls in the beginning.

I don't really eat out that often, mostly coz there aren't a lot of good local restaurants where I live and I love cooking so we prefer home meals anyhow.

Day 25 - keeping warm in winter! I use a double layer coat that can be worn 3 ways so it's super warm! Then since I'm always cold all the time these days, it's fleece tops, sweat pants, and an extra thick long fleece blanket. It does the job lol

Well it isn't quite the First of February but I have lost 3 and 1/2 pounds this month , even with being on TPN, which slows down loss pretty much. But my loss means enough to me as 25 pounds does to another person, so I am boasting.😝

Eating out-
There's almost always some form of grilled meat and I substitute veggies for the sides. Take home the leftovers. If I'm not headed home, I need to practice leaving the food behind. I'm still tempted to keep eating so that I won't "waste" it. Like me hauling around an extra 100 pounds somehow helped starving children in 3rd world countries.

#25 ---lots and lots of hot coffee. Of course keeping cool in the summer entails lots and lots of iced coffee---may have a problem. 😬
#26 will need to wait. Not going out to eat until Monday.

Returning one day is a great goal! I'm so glad you had that opportunity to go and be there. And I'm so glad you have your rainbow baby now! Congratulations

Day 24- #throwbackthursday

I had lost 70 pounds on my own before I got sick. I was doing mud runs, snowboarding, scuba diving, and learning to rock climb. I throw back to these days because they are my motivation! I WILL go back to enjoying life. I will climb again. I will dive again. I'm on the right side of this recovery and an adventurous future to strive for

My favorite way to keep warm: winter camping! Campfires, hiking, wine...
