Recommended Posts

Hello to all !!! Alot of you have been asking how I a doing well I am ding ALoT better than I ever expected of course I am very swelled an sore. I also had hernia repair. I am taking my pain meds also. But I have something else to say we are certified foster parents an tonight I got a call for a placement of a 10 ur old girl . Knowing how much pain I was in I was reluctant at first to take her but we recently adopted an 8 yr old an thought this would help my Lil girl also for a playmate so we said yes !! I'm not saying this to get praise but I just wanted to share how when you are at your worse an unsure what's next. God sent joy to a little girl tonight an our family as well knowing she is safe now :). Thanks to everyone for your concern I mean this from the bottom if my heart

      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? 🤷‍♀️
