Love it! Glad to hear your sleeve is so much better than your old lap band. I know there's really no comparison. I love that my sleeve is permanent. But I know that it's just a tool. Ultimately, it's our work to change our habits and recognize our triggers to eating the high calorie fatty foods. Keep it up! :)

Congrats, weighing 264 lbs January 2012 - down 96 lbs. to 168 lbs today - way to go ;)

last year my 3 and 1/2 year old grandson, was running around in circles in front of me, while i was sitting in my chair, just able to enjoy watching him

i tried a couple of times to catch him, play with him. i could not - he ran and ran too fast,

now i can catch him , at 4 1/2 yrs old, he moves even quicker, but...........so do i :)

kids, grand-kids - gotta live them :)

of course, remember me name - proud grammy!!! ;)

Good for you, blackdoll80!

My granddaughters use to push me around in a wheel chair at theme parks. Now on our morning walks they struggle to keep up with me. And that with me throwing around a 15 pound kettlebell as I walk.

I have noticed the whole family getting much more interested in exercise since I started getting intense with mine.

Good just keeps getting gooder! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
