Thanksgiving Challenge And My Thank You To Bea!



Recommended Posts

So, I did the Halloween Challenge and exceeded my goal which I was absolutely joyful for. The challenge not only allowed me to actually track and see what I am doing (didn't really watch it this way before) but it gave me a focus and a goal that made it fun with all my forum sleeving friends. I am now doing the Thanksgiving Challenge and fingers crossed I should make that goal. If not I will be close.......this was a short one. I will give it my best!!

Yesterday I went to Sam's with my daughter to pick up some needed items. As a rule sweets don't rule over me. In fact, most of the time I can turn a dessert down with little effort but put an appetizer in front of me and that is a killer! Anyway.........As we were going through the bakery section I had the most overwhelming desire to buy and eat all of it!!!!! I was actually dropping the f bomb as I walked through the stuff!!! It must of been a momentary mental breakdown!! I didn't buy any of it but I sure did swear my way through it!!

You know what came into my mind first and foremost?????? My Thanksgiving Challenge and making my goal!!! I want to thank you Bea for caring about all of us and spending your time to help us make our sleeves successful with a bit of fun added in it!! You weren't with me yesterday but you were! Today, I am sitting here another pound lighter and feeling a sense of accomplishment because I didn't partake of the yummy badness that was tempting me yesterday. You have spent your time each week updating our charts and cheering each of us on. I know I speak for many of us in thanking you for everything you have done for us!! I can't wait to start the New Years one!!

Your the best Bea!!! :) :) :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
