    Backpacking 2 months out from surgery

    Beautiful pictures! A great way to get your excersize in and enjoy the great outdoors at the same time. I'm happy to hear it was easier on you this time and it will just continue to get better 😊
  2. All your hard work is gonna finally pay off. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery 😊

    When can I have some rice? Lol

    I miss rice so much. My team says not to have it for six months along with bread and all other starchy carbs. I'm also wondering how it will sit with my stomach.
  4. I love your post! That's the way I used to travel when I was thin and fit. I miss those days. I'm also a foodie traveler and will continue to be but will now be able to control my portions a lot easier. P.S. You've done a great job keeping the weight off! Congratulations 😊
  5. Traveling has always been my passion. But the last five years, because of my weight, I've picked less strenuous more leisurely places to go to. I can't wait to eventually get out and do some type of physically active traveling like hiking Machu Picchu. So my question is to all my fellow travel lovers, what are your future travel bucket lists once you get to your healthy weight?

    I give up on protein :(

    This is pretty good and it has no protein taste
  7. Woke up to the early morning earthquake at 0408 and went back to sleep. Tonight's earthquake we ran out of the house. It was a good long one. So much water sloshed out of our pool it flood the backyard. At least I'm getting my excersize 🤔

  8. How fun! I hope you have a great time and post some pics for us 😊
  9. Ahhh the city I developed my plantar fasciitis! Lol 😂 I love D.C. Before you go back call your congressman and have them schedule a private tour of the White House and Capital building for you 😊

    How many calories do you eat a day?

    When me and my nutritionist were going over my guidelines after the liquid phase she brought out the 1/3 cup and said I shouldn't eat more than that. I gotta tell you I was shocked because it seemed so minuscule compared to what I used to eat. So I told her it seems like I could eat more! She pointed to her head with her finger and said that's all in your head. Eating more than that is giving into head hunger. And she was right my mind will still tell me that's not enough when I visually see it but when I eat I'm constantly waiting for the cues of being satisfied/full and stop eating immediately when they come. It's usually before I've eatin the whole 1/3 C.

    How many calories do you eat a day?

    I stop before I feel full because the sensation of full is different now and I don't want to stretch out my pouch. Here is my portion control guidelines. Hope this helps 😊

    Stall? Eating schedule and habits?

    I take Flinstones complete twice a day one in the morning and one at night. It is what my nutritionist suggested.

    Stall? Eating schedule and habits?

    Hey surgery twin! Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Looks like we've even lost around the same amount since surgery ( I lost a half pound pre surgery). I eat a little slower than I used to but stop when I'm full rather than eating the whole meal just because I don't have the patience or time to sit there and keep eating. I supplement with a protein shake on days I don't quite make my protein goal.
  16. Go back to the hospital and insist on getting some tests done you should be able to eat something by now.

    Home Gym Recommendation

    I used to have the Marcy smith gym and loved it. But I haven't went home gym shopping for about ten years now and don't know what the new equipment is like.

    How many calories do you eat a day?

    Some days I eat 400 and some I can eat up to 700. I don't know why some days I eat a few bites of protein source food and get full and other days I can eat more. No more than 1/3 cup though. I don't excersize at all yet besides doing a few reps of squats every day and staying a lot more active. I will eventually start lifting but wanted to let my body just take this time to fully recover.
  19. Good luck and a speedy recovery to you both! 😁
  20. I love this ⬆️ Very good advice 😊
