Hi all, I am just sitting here playing with the clock and calendar and wondering what I'll be eating by my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. My surgery was 10-03-11, and since I'm still on liquids I feel like I am marking time to get to the next level. I walk, read, surf the net etc., but even though I know it's one day at a time, I wonder what everyone is doing to fill their days beside making shakes, pudding, and taking their Vitamins. I guess going out to eat and being with friends on the wekend is out for a while. So in the meantime I will be doing _____________________. (Please fill in the blank and be nice.) THANKS!

LOL!!! Reading... I love to read!!!

I like your post! I just plugged what I ate today into Fat Secret.com... I try to keep a daily running total of my protien, carbs and calories...and excersise anyway.. I have lost 103 pounds, I still have 88 more pounds to lose and it is coming off very slowly now. However, according to Fat Secret.com if I continue eating and exercising like I am recording, I will be at my goal weight in 5 more months... Now that I can live with!!! One day at a time works great, and sometimes, just sometimes it helps to look at the big picture - for me, it helps me to know what I am doing today, in the long run, 5 months from now I am going to be so much closer to were I want to be!!!

Good Luck to you my friend :D

I was trying to use this site but I cant find where it says if you continue to do what you are doing, you will be at goal in X amount of months thingy. Where do you see that type of information?

At my birthday I (you) will be doing mushy stage diet, mmmm, mashed potatoes. (if its within the next 2 weeks loll .)

At Thanksgiving I will be doing the turkey and enjoying the hell out of it! Protein, Protein, protein! But its the holiday so I will have a small bit of some candied yams too! (There are some really good recipies online for low sugar/carb sweet potatos too, go to Eggface!)

At Christmas I will be doing the holidays in my brand new size and loving it! I will enjoy a meal with my family and have a small desert but be mindful of my calories as I go, I don't want to over do it too much but I want to enjoy the holiday like a normal person too!

:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
