Tomorrow Is A Brand New Day - Pray For Me!



Recommended Posts

Surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30am. I have never been a morning person, but I think there's going to be all kinds of changes on the horizon. So far, well since May, I have lost 32lbs. I have never been that successful with a food reduction plan. I won't call it a diet because I didn't change what I ate, just the quantities. I am both excited and some what terrified of my anticipated surgery. Finally. Finally I will get this weight off. The weight that has been weighing me down (pun intended) for years. I want to have fun with my daughters instead of always watching from the sidelines. I want to go see Wicked without wondering if my butt will fit in the chair. I guess that really sums it up: I want! I hope to have this changed to: I did! by next summer. Pls send prayers on my behalf!

Well its day 2 and I feel pretty good. I'm kinda hunched over when I walk, but oh well. I came home yesterday evening. I finally went to bed around 11, but got up to pee about every 2 hours. I bed it I weighed when I got home I would have had a 10lb gain. I weighed today and have lost another 3lbs. They gave me these Sunkist Protein 2oz drinks w/24g of protein when I was in the hosp. They were good! I have looked everywhere but have been unable to find them locally so I order a bunch online this morning. I think I can have 1, 3 times a day and get my protein in for sure. Thoughts?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
