Preparing For Winter



Recommended Posts

I finally started my pre-op diet today and reality is starting to set in!!! I live in Wisconsin and we are blessed with some doozys of winter weather! With that in mind, does anyone have any recommendations for a good, womens walking boot? I need to eliminate the 'excuses' out of my life, so I would like to have a good boot to wear after it snows. I have done a general internet search, but I would like to hear your thoughts! Thank you in advance. :D

I live in Michigan so I totally understand the need for warm, waterproof boots for winter that aren't too heavy to walk around in.

I can't recommend a specific brand, but I do know your best bet is going to a bigger shoe store and looking for a good hiking boot. They come with good tread and Water proof outsides- both necessary when trudging through snow and over ice. Last year I found a pair at d**k's Sporting Goods for about $80.

EDIT: LOL it censored the name of the store!! It's D-i-c-k's, it's the store name not a curse! HAHAHAHA! :D

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
