Today after shopping for Halloween costumes my friends wanted to go to Jimmy John's for lunch. I sighed not really wanting to go and followed them in not expecting to be able to get anything to eat. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had an "unwich" option which is any of their sandwiches in a lettuce wrap. I got a turkey breast one without mayo and cheese. It was delcious. According to MFP it was 82 calories and 14 grams of Protein. Next time I am going to ask for double the meat to increase the protein intake. Not something I will probably have regularly but I thought it was a great treat. Just wanted to share this with my VSG friends.

Oh I forgot the other exciting news for the day. My kids talked me into being spiderwomen for Halloween. This would have never been an option pre-sleeve for me (too self concious). I was so excited to not have to buy a plus size costume this year. It was a great feeling.

The unwich is my order of choice when my fellow employees do Jimmy Johny's weekly. It is nice to enjoying lunch right along with everyone else.

There are a bunch in the Denver area.

I've never tried the Unwich. They do have really good, fresh 7 grain bread. Definitely a larger carb and calorie hit, but you can always try it and throw away the top bread, split the difference.

Best news all day. I will try one when I am able. Close to my work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
