I’m not usually a fan of 100 calorie packs, but these ones are great. From Aldi of course. lol! Not too much nutritional value but very yummy and satisfies sweet tooth. Also pretty filling (which I don’t usually find to be the case with 100 calorie snack packs).

Any bike suggestions?
There is a Chinese brand called Cheji, and they are all over ebay and Amazon. I swear they are as good as the high end brands when it comes to padding, etc. They are really inexpensive too!! Also, the more you ride, the tougher your sit bones will get!

2 weeks out from surgery got the green light for soft foods
Greek Yogurt, Ricotta cheese bake or ricotta w/ vanilla extract if I want it sweet, scrambled eggs. As for protein shakes, have you tried Fairlife yet? They are really good, My fave is strawberry banana.

Thanks! Thighs are a mess though (loose skin). Hoping LBL will fix it a little. In the meantime, I'll get tighter pants to compress it all in!

Surgery TOMORROW! SO nervous! Hospital must haves
Phone, charger, and chapstick was pretty much all I needed! You will basically sleep for 18 hours, then it will be time to go home! LOL!!

Thank you!! I am feeling more comfortable in my own skin every day. I still have 10lbs to go, but I just hit "healthy" in the BMI range, so I feel like I'm playing with the house's money!

What are you thankful for this week? - 8/31/2020
I'm grateful that my husband and I are able to work from home during COVID. I'm grateful for the extra time I've been able to spend with my children. I'm grateful for my health, and for my new body that's able to keep up with the active person that has always been inside me.

Choosing between surgeries
I chose bypass b/c I had a history of GERD, and knew the sleeve would only make the GERD worse. Happy to say I'm GERD-free since the bypass! It's weird to not carry TUMS in my purse anymore!
