Oh My Goodness.....dare I say Sunday was PERFECT....the weather, the sky, the Water, the breeze....were just PERFECT.:clap2:

We had an Awesome time at the park. Picnic is on the menu once a month. LOL We had a little bit of food but too much food. LOL

Who would have thought 7 layer dip, chips, veggie platter, deviled eggs, grapes, Jello and watermelon would have been too much food for 6 people.LOL:D

We had such a great time laying around, munching, talking, taking measurements (which everyone had lost inches YEAAHHHHH) and recruiting a new member walking down the sidewalk (karen) he he he he. Everyone did at least 2 situps or leg lifts, not much else exercise but hopefully Dawner will bring her yoga expertise so we can stay on the ground. :heh:

Leona and Karen met a new man who was with his wife, came and got down on the blaket just to say no thank you I dont' want any watermelon.:laugh

I wish I had that 7 layer dip now....I'm hungry.:hungry:

You guys thanks for an awesome, meeting......4 hours still wasn't enough.:) I hope for those who did not make it this time, please come to the picnic next month. Haines Point may be a distance from you but it is so worth it. Just being by the Water is so relaxing and being on the ground is always comfortable. OK I'm ready to go back tomorrow..... :bounce:Thanks guys!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
