Isn't that GREAT! Congrats! I bought a jacket off the rack at the end of last winter. It fit but was pretty snug. I had to get something my other coat was absolutely huge on me. Anyway, I tried it on this morning and it fits perfectly. Problem is - it's a spring jacket and I'll need something much heavier for winter!

We'd love to have you on the BFL challenge with us. I think it's going to be more an accountability of getting to the gym 6 days a week and keeping on track with eating well. It's 84 days. I plan to post every day, so we can all be responsible to one another. I know that really helps me with big challenges like this.

You are so brave! I don't think I could do it with a trainer! I'm a wuss!

Glad to hear you saw your PCP today! Thanks Mini! I was worried about you - my little Puff Mini!

I was afraid we'd have to start a rap group,

"Puff Mama and Heavy Double D":drum:

see ya,

dee~

Umm...where do I fit into Puff Mama and Heavy Double D? We need to add Munchkin in there somewhere....:tt1:

Mini-Have you been on any steroids? And have you had any labs checked lately? If you are low on Protein it can cause you to "third space" Fluid outside of the vascular space and into the tissues. It usually happens with elderly or sick people, but it did happen to one young girl I worked with on my old floor. She kept swelling and her albumin was low when they checked it. Once she corrected her eating it went away.

I had labs drawn today. We shall see. I have some weird vascular stuff that goes on in my body (autoimmune) and I just never know . . .

I can't think I'm low on protein cuz I'm eating a ton of it.

Grrrr....why do I keep losing the posts I am writing? So frustrating!

Busy, busy work weekend again. No cute 4 year old patients that wanted to give me cornrows, but I did have an adorable 98 year old man that I didn't think would make it through the night Friday. He was so much better by last night that he wouldn't sleep or be quiet all night! He kept having accidents in the bed, and he told me "Someone keeps shitting in my bed!" I about cracked up. Yep, that would be the shit elves! :tt1: They are the worst kind of elves!

Well quit taking steroids to bulk up then, because that's what it is.:) Sheesh, I know you want to be all ripped and stuff, but really......:tt1: No seriously, have you had to take prednisone for anything? Prednisone is notorious for making you swell.

And I eat a ton of Protein but my protein labs are still always low it seems. It is always unfathomable to me since I eat so much of it.

I am having that stupid pain again. I did sit ups on Friday and ever since then, my port area feels bruised and so I called. It IS a possibility that it slipped (PRAY HARD LADIES). I could have gone in tomorrow, but DH is having surgery, so the soonest I could get in is Thursday am.

I am doing all liquids until then. PRAY PRAY PRAY that there is no slip. I would be devestated to say the least.

PRAY!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
