Gobble! Gobble! Turkey Day Pics!



Recommended Posts

Ok all you post op sleevers! How did you spend your day?? Did you take any pics? I'm like the "selfie" queen these days :P But today for thanksgiving my little family unit did our traditional thanksgiving at the beach. For the last 6 years I cook everything the day before (and they all eat like piggies) then on thanksgiving proper we pack up turkey sandwiches and spend the day giving thanks at the beach :) Here are some of my pictures, Please show me some of yours! :)post-167126-0-65615700-1385692079_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-06043400-1385692118_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-63382500-1385692161_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-39120000-1385692207_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-29619500-1385692244_thumb.jpg

That's great LV and you are looking so healthy and fit. All that hiking and biking is paying off.

Missus butter and myself ran a turkey trot 5 mile race this morning. I'll have some official race pics in a couple of days but for now all I have is this post run/freezing our asses off selfie. Afterward we grilled jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp for our non traditional turkey day "feast." I use quotes around that word because now 3 shrimp fill me up.....but I still made 5 pounds. WTF?

You look fantastic! Beautiful family as well! The sleeve was the best decision you have made for yourself and your family to be able to live a healthy life. ;0) I have seen your before pics awhile back and you completely transformed. Your testimony has given me a second chance at life as I undergo my surgery in 2 wks.Thank u!

Yep the best decision for sure (besides marrying my husband of course :P)

My turkey day pics would be me in two diff sets of pajamas :P Today was lazy day. I cooked a bit but really just hung out. Highlight of my day was realizing how great coconut oil feels on your skin after a shower.

Not only does she look like you a LOT, your body shapes are very similar too. They're so sweet Laura. Love their smiles.

Girl that's my kind of turkey day!! We didn't get to the beach until 12pm :D

Yes she has my body but in a size 2 and buff..

She was doing push-ups right after we ate..

You don't want to mess with that girl she will take you down even though she's short.

She does cross fit and likes to kick the boys asses and she is the one to catch at her ROTC weekends...

SHE DOES NOT TAKE AFTER ME IN THESE THINGS:p

Her mama is a lazy slug :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
