I want to thank everyone on this site that have been so supportive and have provided me with hours of entertainment when it was really important for me to connect with people who knew exactly what I was going through.

I want to thank those who have enough confidence to reach out to me for advice and are genuinely appreciative of what I have to say.

I want to thank my employer for being so supportive and providing me the financial means to actually be able to afford this surgery and take a genuine interest in my well-being.

I want to thank my skilled surgeon for taking such good care of me and has always made sure I never felt like I was left on my own to figure things out.

I want to thank my partner of nearly 9 years for supporting me through this process unconditionally because he knew this felt like a matter of life-and-death to me.

I want to thank me... well, for once doing something for me, no one else...

LOL!!

I am just feeling the high of attending a business dinner at one of Seattle's top restaurants (Tom Douglas' Serious Pie) and was able to watch ppl drink fine wine, eat 9 varietes of brick oven pizzas and dessert and was completely content with my conversations and Water.

I could have eaten, but I thought it all lacked Protein. So my very first thought was not that of deprivation or feeling left out. It was me putting me first and choosing (happily) to wait until I got home to eat something that would help me reach my nutrition goals for the day.

It was empowering....for which, I am grateful!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
