Video chatting with the husband and dog. Social distancing stinks. We still don't know how we're going to handle the situation with him being a high risk person and me being a person with at high risk for infection.

Week 5 Post Op Report
What a journey! I am 5 weeks from surgery and a total of 24.4 pounds down!
I feel amazing! I’ve incorporated a ton of walking and I’m using my Apple Watch to help me along! I have closed all three of my fitness rings for 11 days straight! Ok, so I am in LOVE with my Apple Watch. I've had it for almost a year and I am just now tapping into it's fitness power!
I keep on top of my protein, vitamins and biotin!
I struggle with water but I average about 50 ounces a day. I have only had one day where I had to “purge” because something did not agree with me. Tuna and my Tiny Tummy still do not agree so I’m going to leave it alone for a while!
I walk on average a little more than 3 miles a day for my exercise but manage to get in at least 13,000-17,000 steps a day depending on how my schedule goes.
I get up every hour and walk around for at least five minutes. Then if I’m watching a show I get up and walk in place during the commercials!
I meet with my doc this week for a progress report.
I have one more week before I graduate from soft foods to the final phase!
I’ve got my cookbooks ready, my food scale ready and my measuring plates ready!
I could NOT be more happy with my progress! I feel amazing and I’m grateful to have this tool!

Thank you for the encouragement/positivity!!! I'm going to conquer this liquid phase, moment by moment. I also appreciate the mini tutorial of how to get the ticker. I'm thinking of starting status updates after my pre-op visit with the surgeon on Friday. I really enjoy the personal perspective and experience being shared, without feeling like the thread is being dominated. I look forward to how each person is approaching the wls lifestyle. Thank you lady, good night. Happy Whale watching. I love seeing the dolphins at Hermosa Beach.

Sabrina, you are doing so well. I'm truly inspired and equally excited for you. The view you shared is breathtaking and relaxing, I'm in love with the ocean. Please keep sharing. Where did you find the trackers and how do I access them? My date is approaching the 31st, I'm in liquid diet mode. I see my surgeon on the 17th. Any advice?

I can't believe this is my life. I am so happy!
Today I walked 3.4 miles. It was a beautiful walk. I am so blessed to live by the ocean. I like the gym but these outdoor walks have really made me happy. I may even try to start jogging once I am approved to do so.
Set your intentions now! Start working toward them NOW. No matter if you are pre-op or post op. Go get it! You wanted it, and it's up to you to grab it.
Four weeks post op and all is well.
How is is going for you?

I love that you live by the ocean, kind of jealous

Three weeks post-op and I am feeling WONDERFUL!
I can now eat soft foods. I have not had any issues tolerating anything.
Found some awesome 4 ounce pyrex containers that I mix my 2 ounces in for meals and it's perfect. This week I tried my Italian Garden Meatballs which have 10 grams of protein per 2 ounce ball. PERFECT. I am down 19 pounds (that equals 76 bananas-lol)
I did try Tuna today but I don't think "Tiny Tummy" digs it too much. I did not get sick but she kinda grumbled a little bit.
I've started going to the gym. I walk 30 minutes on the treadmill at about 2.8-3.0 speed. When I first started a week ago I had to stay at 2.5 because my incisions would feel weird if I did anything over that. By the way my incisions are healing perfectly.
I managed to cook my family a wonderful Christmas dinner. My hubby was my taste tester and co-pilot. I feel so blessed to have a supportive spouse! I did not taste one thing. Stayed the course with my pureed foods.
I haven't been on here much, just because I wanted to focus on my healing and my family during the holidays but I have SO MUCH TO BLOG ABOUT!
It's gonna be a great 2020!
Blessings to you all, let's rock out the new decade in healthy bodies and relationships!
Recipe for the meatballs! Please check with your doctor to see when you are allowed on these!!! I add coconut amino acids to make them more juicy.

TOMORROW IS MY DAY!
I am so very excited! My sister is here with me and my son. I am so excited. My anesthesiologist called me tonight to discuss our plans for tomorrow. I am not feeling nervous at all. Just excited for the future!
I did buy a few bottles of CFpreop which is really suppose to help you stay hydrated. It's pricey but I feel it's worth it. I tried the Watermelon tonight. I have to stop all liquids after midnight and I go into the hospital at 5:30am for check in. My surgery is at 8am.
SO HAPPY for this journey!
You can get the CFpreop on Amazon if anyone is interested. It comes in Watermelon and White Grape.

2 Days Till Surgery!It's time! Time to start my clear liquids! I am prepared! Tomorrow I will only take in clear protein, bone broth and jello for the next two days.My surgery will be done on Monday, December 9th at 8:00 AM. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM (EWWW) but who cares? LOL. Funny how you don't get all upset about doing things that are not so fun when you are doing it for a purpose!.I don't plan on doing much this weekend. I have one errand to do and after that is over I will return to my hotel room and go into prayer and meditation. Believer or not, you got to do what you need to do in order to get your heart and mind in a healthy place..I have a Pre-Op drink I ordered that is supposed to really help your body hydrate before surgery. It's not in the photo just because I don't have it in my hands yet. I will put photos of it up when I get it..All I can think about it how blessed I am to be able to get this done. I know how it feels to be healthy and happy then have it snatched away. It makes this all the more joyful for me..So, it's time to lay it down and start letting my mind process what we are getting ready to do..By the way...funny story. My doc said he had to cancel a surgery because his patient said she thought "Mashed Potatoes" was a clear food! Um, there will be no mashed potatoes for me! LOL This is HAPPENING!.Last thought for today: I knew when they drew my blood yesterday it was going to leave a nasty bruise and I was right. I am so sensitive to that kind of stuff.
