Listen To Your Band When Stressed



Recommended Posts

i know we had this topic not to long ago but....my mother had a massive heart attack and was in the hospital since the morning of the 9th. she passed away this morning. during my time at the hospital and i was there 24/7 i really missed all of you. but with that in mind, and that recent topic we all discussed i kept my diet in check using the cafeteria. (it can be done) and taking frequent walks around the hospital and parking lots. i lost 4 lbs. i know this isn't something that i should even be thinking about but my mom knew how important all of this was to me. she would have been proud. so when something stressful happens in your life, listen to your band.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I know how awful that is, and though time dims the initial pain, the loss of a mom leaves a gaping hole in your heart….and in your life. But how great that you were able to find the strength to stick to your program. That is wonderful.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
