Fiddleman went clothes shopping?!?



Recommended Posts

My hubby just impressed the heck out of me! He came back from an outing and announced he had been clothes shopping at Old Navy for himself- alone! I usually have to drag him kicking and screaming into clothing stores and he goes by himself? And on top if that he actually picked out some pretty stylish threads- AND they were on the clearance rack! I can't wait for more of this clothes shopping stuff- and can't wait to see him in a well fitted suit! Hubba Hubba!

Thanks proudgranny! Yep, somebody had to marry this guy to make sure he's taken care of and doesn't do anything loco. :) We're going on 13 years of marriage and it's only getting better every year! Five days post op and I feel great! I'm able to get in 80-90 oz of fluids on top of 3-4 shakes per day plus all my Vitamins. I walk 2-3 times a day and was off pain pills from my third day back- I'm not even needing Tylenol! Fiddleman asked me after a walk a few days ago, " are you sure you're not just acting super tough or anything?" LOL. I just told him "nope- just doing what I feel I can do!". Maybe years of dealing with arthritis pain (since age 17) has helped toughen me up...not sure. But I'm feeling dandy and was outside yesterday watering my garden and pruning my clematis vines. I am so looking forward to swimming, Zumba, ballroom dancing (fiddleman is joining me!) and rowing crew this summer and fall! Walking is so flipping boring! Oh well- I'll find something to make it entertaining until I'm cleared to do other stuff. Had my first dream about food last night- eating a Tomato salad until I remembered I was on liquids only and I had to spit it out! My dreams are all about veggies and fruit! I'm tolerating shakes just fine once I switched to soy- figured that might happen since I was lactose intolerant as a baby. I can't wait to get to purée though- 7lbs down from dos already! Hooray! Clothes are already fitting so much better and even getting too big. I can't wait for my shopping spree! :)

He needs to post fashion show pics.

Agreed! Maybe I can get him to try on a suit soon too. I'm going to enter him into Redbook's sexy husband contest. :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
