Great start Susannah!

How fantastic is this rain. The lawn already looks green again and I havent had to bucket 20 gazillion buckets of Water out from the shower today!

We all shower with five buckets in the shower, virtually NO Water goes down the plughole! Our garden is thriving and looks gorgeous but someone dobbed us in to South East Water as water cheats! We got investigated, lol. Then we got a big thumbs up for using our grey water on the garden.

Thanks Fee.

I'm so happy with my band and my results so far. I do think I need another fill though, I am still eating more than I think I should be able to, and I can eat ANYTHING. But I guess I have to be patient and I will get to my perfect fill level in time.

On another note, thank goodness its a short week at work this week :clap2:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
