One year today



Recommended Posts

Today was my day one year ago. It doesn't seem like that long. I have lost 90 lbs and have I still have 40 more that I wanna loose. I have learned so much in a year. The most important is Portion Control. Its amazing how much I would eat before and how little you truely need. I would do the surgery again in a heart beat. I still have a long road ahead of me it feels like to get where I really wanna be but I will get there. I have to remember my doctor told me that this is a life long journey not soemthing that you fix over night or in just a year. My goal is to hit one hundred lbs loss by the end of January and I can do it!!

DaCoop, I went to a Xmas brunch Sunday and of course, there was tons of food of all kinds. It was amazing how much food people piled on their plates, but the most amazing thing was the bite sizes. OMG, I saw forks full of food that would have stuck me up for two days I'm sure. I look at the size of each bite I take now and I'm amazed at how well I've adapted, but disappointed it took me so long to figure it out.LOL

Merry Christmas

Congrats!!! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Had my pre-op Friday and I was a little taken back that I was told I couldn't eat anything but Clear Liquids on Christmas Day!!! Were you told the same?? I was expecting nothing after midnight. I don't think I would of scheduled it for the day after Christmas if that was told to me at time of scheduling. I plan on calling the office on Monday because when I called Friday they were already closed. The nurse at pre surgical office couldn't tell me why so I'm a little confused. If you have any insight I'd appreciate it. Btw I can't wait to be where you are now. I bet you feel fantastic.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
