I made bad food choices today! So many people bring me Christmas candy and cookies! So nice but I don't know what they are thinking. All my friends know I had surgery. I have to make better choices tomorrow! Sorry just venting!

I feel ya sista! As a nurse I have been surrounded by cakes and donuts and goodies that my patients and their families give to the units. I have been stuffing my face and paying the price. I have totally let my demons in my brain take over. I will not deprive myself these holiday nor will I over indulge. Tomorrow is a new day and jan 1 is a new year. Hang in there!

This is something I fear as a forever struggle. I am the wife of a deacon in a Baptist church his means I will forever be hosting food fellowships. I do not want to avoid that responsibility I just hope I can for the long term be strong and resist the constant flow of bad for you foods at church.

Every day of the week at my field office people have been bringing different themed foods. Monday was chocolate, Tuesday was savory, etc. I get away from there to go to my home office and we have a huge all day office party centered around....food. Then I return to my field office and today is their big food party. And people are giving me gifts of home baked treats. Now I get to go home for the holidays where there will be ......more food!!! But at least my dad has a lap band and understands something about moderation, even if he is a candy muncher.

I've been very good every day at Breakfast and at supper. I've allowed myself one small plate of tiny tastes of various things at each of these parties and I count that as both lunch and one snack. I'm

not gaining and I'm not losing. Temptations are so challenging!!!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
