Well, life always has challenges but I am doing really well.

here is my positive comment for the day... i am ASTOUNDED at how little I miss my right implant. I thought I would be disfigured and weird looking. It isn't very noticable - I don't need to pad the bra or anything. Nekkid it looks a little deflated compared to the other side, but I am not upset by it. Every lab test known has been done - no fungus or bacteria. I guess sometimes those problems can be so low grade the tests don't detect them, but my feeling (and surgeon concurs) that this was probably an injury/trauma caused which is good news. Means replacement is likely to be successful and trouble free.

Saw the movie the Martian - was very good and worth seeing in the theater.

Having some follow up issues with remodel... grrrr

Sheryl that's great news about the implant!

Florinda, I wish you would check in. We worry about you when you report you're so depressed and have constant acid problems.

I am excited that I met a local guy from ok cupid and we had coffee this morning. He's very stable financially, seems very nice,nice looking, and wants to see me again. This is rare for this area. He's fit and doesn't hunt or fish. He just moved here from CA.

I've been writing to guys from the different dating sites but they all live too far away. I am excited for the possibility of someone local that isn't a loser.

Hey guys, checking in -

Dr. had nothing worthwhile to say and referred me to a gastro, who has yet to call me to make an appointment. yesterday I ate some pumpkin seeds, a few mouthfuls of yogurt, a couple bites of plain chicken salad (vegan mayo) and a sugar cookie. Apparently my body does not differentiate between low calorie overall and low carb.

Just checking in.... had my first real "ride" last Friday... drove up the river road to the next county. One step at a time! Glad to hear the surgeries are doing well..... Kelly? How about you?

My dad just got engaged... nice 87 year old lady, she could be a model! He like the good lookers! Anyway, we meet up with her family last night for dinner and a toast. They all seem nice.

Hip armor is not my friend as far as looks go!

How long has it been now since your Mom passed? It is going to be three years this Christmas for my Father, and I think I was ready to be accepting if my Mom found someone, about a year and a half ago.

It's been around a year and a half.

That's so cute and exciting , Kim. I wonder how they met.

Floridna, can't you just call the gastro guy yourself and say your doctor wants you to be seen? All that acid is nothing to fool around with.

I went out with Keith and he already tried to get in my pants so to speak. I told him he needed to slow way down cause I barely knew him. He was quite understanding but I have to wonder what he was thinking. We are way past the age of sex on the first date.

I've been doing really well doing 5:2. I've lost 5 lbs. I am excited. It worries me because of my back fusion but I can't take having nothing to wear and feeling so fat.

Sheryl,I noticed your post in the thread about the woman who is sleeping around. You don't have much to worry about catching Hep C. It's very rarely passed sexually. You have to have an open cut for it to enter your body.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
