Half my shift is licked just waiting for the other half to get done. So far so good. I just always say another day another adventure.

On a positive note..I've pretty much fully got my husband on board with the whole healthy life style. He has put on about 20lbs since June. He also has had 2 diff foot surgeries and is still now in a cam boot. He is seeing the light about our need to be healthier(rather his) as my diet has gotten alot better. Maybe will make it easier. He only has bought pizza one time this week :) that's a big start for him.

My fqmily is totally on board too. My son is having the sleeve in October and has lost over 90 on his own so far. My girls joined a gym yesterday and my hubby is watching his food as well. He needs to cuz he is diabetic. Makes it easier when everyone is on the same page! Hope you survived the night and are sleeping good now. We are having a thunderstorm and I cojld take a nice long nap. ;)

Happy birthday Dorian!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have been feeling a little better today. Still laying around in bed but hopefully be up and moving tomorrow. Ended up with all kinds of medication and I was so proud to not be taking hardly anything after surgery so that kinda sucks.

My whole family has been eating waaaayyy healthier. No sodas or Snacks in the house except fruits and veggies, diet Decaf tea and some not-so-bad crackers. The kids are loving the fruit and veggies. My hubby has lost about 15lbs in the last couple of weeks. He is doing a weight loss challenge at work. Of course my inlaws do not understand how I am losing all this weight, they don't know about my surgery and think I'm on drugs. LMAO! They freaked out when my hubby turned down his Moms fried potatoes and spam. I was super impressed. Hope this lasts, it makes it easier.

Have a great birthday. My girls wanted to take me out for supper but I really wasnt in the mood for anything. We ended up eating scrambled eggs and refried Beans at home and then went for some frozen yogurt. I had some sugar free strawberry with pretzels, cashews and mandarin oranges on it, which we ate sitting down by the lake. It gave me a HUGE stomachache! Not dumping I dont think, but not fun. So im now laying in bed trying to relax. Even though I am over 4 months out sometimes this whole thing is still hard. But sooooo worth the results!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
