Well I made it thru the Thanksgiving and Christmas foods w/o gaining any weight! Hooray for me. I have continued to lose regularly and am so thankful for every ounce. I would never have done that in the past. I am fast beginning to realize that food isn't that important to me. I think my New Year's resolution is going to be "I'll eat to live...not live to eat.":smile2:

Does anyone else feel successful about the holidays?

Yes, Total success....

I have not gained over Christmas, and have lost 15 pounds since Thankgiving. I was banded 3 days before Thanksgiving, so I was on liquids then and had limited my plans. I Cooked all the regulars yesterday, Turkey, Ham, stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, cranberries, apples, cheesecake etc for christmas. I ate a little of all, and the Cheesecake was made with sugar free Jello cheesecake mix and 1% milk, lite cherries and lowfat crust.

Then to top it off, went to a movie without eating!!! This is my biggest success since I used to have to have a Large extra butter popcorn.< /p>

This am, my BP is 123/76. Blood sugar 93, and weight still at the lowest yet.

Get my first fill this next week. On to more losing weight and off the the gym this morning....

I am so happy, and proud of myself for getting throught the holidays still losing weight! In the past I would be shopping for the next size clothes the day after Christmas, but not this year. For the first time in 20 years I didn't feel like I was going to explode after a holiday dinner!

I made a couple of food choices that were not the best, but I was able to take a bite or two and be very satisfied, I didn't have to stuff myself.

Today is a new day and I am back on track, back to only healthy choices.

Congratulations to all of you!

I also feel pretty good about getting through the holidays. I had a fill just before the holidays that's left me just a bit too tight so I can't eat most solid foods but, believe it or not, there's no problem with cookies! I had a couple Christmas Eve and a couple today and am feeling pretty proud of myself because I could've eaten a lot more (self-justifying it as compensation for having to pass up all the other good food :blink:) but I didn't.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
