Monday Funday Question Of The Day!



Recommended Posts

What's your go to place for relaxation? Mental or Physical, don't matter.

Mine is the nail salon - sans baby. Twice a month I abandon my motherly duties (usually on the weekends my son is with his father) and spend a couple of hours at the salon gossiping with my nail tech friend, getting my nails done, eyebrows waxed, and occasionally a pedicure if my finances allow.

I bake Cookies and cupcakes and cakes, for friends and family! I know it is weird for someone who had WLS, but if I bake it, I don't feel like eating it!

I cook and bake more now then I ever did. I have really gotten into the whole homemade thing. I make breads, cakes, preserves, Soups and sauces all from scratch. I also juice. I have been having a marvelous time and never have more than just a taste of anything (just to make sure it is right before I give it away.)

I meditate and watch nature. In the mountains this weekend, I put some shelled peanuts outside our cabin door and watched the blue jays and wood peckers come and take the peanuts. It was so interesting watching them get picky about which peanut they wanted. There were at least a dozen of them. LOL! Nature is so beautiful! ;)

My backyard. My husband and I have worked hard to make it a little oasis. We don't have a pool or anything fancy, we just worked on the landscaping ourselves and have two Water features, fruit trees, rock and drought tolerant gardens, dry stream beds, herbs and other edibles, a large chicken coop, etc.

My other place is on the back of a good horse.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
