I now know I totally made the right decision!

So after having a really crappy day, my son came home from school with a Mother's Day plant for me!! Totally a surprise this year I didn't even know they were doing one! He threw away all of the flyers!! He used his own money to buy it! He gave me a huge hug and said thank you for getting healthy for me!! (I also quit smoking 8 months ago!!) he totally made my day and made the sadness of what happened this morning all go away! I now know without a doubt I made the right decision!!!

Love it! My kids and hubby are 100% of the reason I'm doing this. I mean, I'm doing it for me too...so that I will be able to enjoy a long, quality life with my loves. Congrats on your surgery, your

Beautiful son and realizing what really counts--our loved ones not the lame comments of some random colleague. Happy Mothers Day!

How nice to see someone else rejoicing in their decision!! I hope all the complainers out there see this. It is a reminder that in spite of stalls, or slow loss or whatever you find to be negative about today, someone else is noticing. Someone else cares about you and what you are going through and they are proud of you! They may not always say it, but they do care and they are proud! What a great reason to get into the Happiness Habit!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
