I cant believe surgery is almost here...It has yet to sink in...I mean REALLY sink in! I was doing well with my diet for the past few months, even lost 20 lbs! I weighed myself on Friday morning and I was still at 219, but I did some indulging Friday night and this weekend....so I hope I don't gain very much :unsure: I really wanted some chicken wings, but then my mom mentioned bbq (which is one of my favorite things) so hubby and I went out to get ribs and fried pickles at our favorite place. Yesterday wasn't that bad...Had some low fat french toast from trader joes and an orange for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch and some thai take out for dinner (from our most favorite place!) but I didn't get a fried dish...this morning I had a couple blueberry pancakes with sugar free Syrup, turkey sausage and one egg. Lunch will also be on the light side since I am at work (I work with prader willi individuals on a strict diet so everything at work is pretty healthy to eat) but this evening one of my girlfriends is coming over for dinner and I'm thinking we will be ordering pizza....

I feel like I should be saying goodbye to all my favorite foods, but I also don't want to sabotage myself. Thats the old me...self sabotaging me. I want to succeed! So needless to say, I am REALLY looking forward to Wednesday! Ive even started to get my hospital bag together! I am super scared, but that nervousness has been slowly going away....I am more excited for the first day of the rest of my life to start!!! :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
