Oh wow, that sucks!!

I will be there March-13, if I get my taxes back by then. If not I will have to move it back also.

Do you have to do another 2 weeks of the diet?

Apparently the 13th is booked for Dr Cabrera so now I'm on the 14th. Stupid weather.

So sorry Jeni and I know nothing anybody can say will help but I'm going to say it anyway. I do believe everything happens for a reason. When something like this happens, for some reason, it always makes me think back to all the stories that were told after 9/11. There was several different stories but this one really stands out in my head: A lady was walking to work in a brand new pair of shoes when a blister started to form on the back of her heal. She knew she really could not be late for work again. However, the pain from the blister was getting really bad. So, as she was passing a drug store she noticed that it was not crowed. She looked at her watch and quickly ran inside to buy a pack of Band-Aids. Nothing went fast from that point on inside the store. The lady in front of her was extremely slow and need a price check. When she finally got her Band-Aids she had problems putting it on the back of her heel. She had problems getting it opened and then it stuck to her sock and then the next one folded over on itself. You know how bad things can go when u are in a real hurry. So, when she finally succeeded with the Band-Aid she started jogging down the sidewalk to the World Trade Center. She was 5 minutes away when the buildings collapsed. She was a single mom with 3 kids. There were many other story just like this one.

I hope this helps make u feel a little better anyway.

Thank you for sharing that. I'm pretty bummed out because I'd made some really good contacts with other VSTers and I've been on liquids for 3 weeks with the last 3 days being clear. And today out of frustration I think I consumed more calories than I have all month. But all I can do is focus myself again. I'm very fortunate to have strong faith and a supportive husband. Still bummed but it gives me additional time to lower my BMI so I don't have to pay the extra $1000 that is required for those with BMIs over 50. I'm pretty close to 50 so I'm confident I can do it. Plus I was able to get a lower rate on my new flights.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
