So much to do so little time!



Recommended Posts

I'm trying so hard to do lots of things before next Thursday (surgery day). Not sure why I did not plan better. Trying to add extra insurance plans, update will, organize house, do heavy lifting that won't be allowed next month, organize clothes. I'm so tired. Want to deep clean the house since people will be staying a few nights but just decided to hire someone and go enjoy my life the next few days.

Had my last steak last night probably for quite sometime. shakes all day then dinner of my choice. Tonight is pizza, tomorrow Indian food. I am starting liquids Sunday even though they are not required until Tuesday.

So just enjoying time with friends and family and some meals out.

Totally prepared for a change now. Been working toward this for months.

Ordered a few more coffee sample packs (protein) since i gave up coffee, and some Soups with Protein, plain Protein powder and a few kinds of regular flavor powders.

Packing my bag up tomorrow for the hospital. Getting a few extra blender bottles tomorrow and a ninja to blend my drinks in.

Enjoying a day with my friend tomorrow getting wax, nails and lunch maybe massage . A day of pampering! Then Sunday six flags for my sons bday.

By Monday am I will have nothing else to do but wait for Thursday! Super stoked!

Wow how exciting! Glad you are getting things done. I felt so much better after surgery the other things you are preparing for (errands) I did just after my surgery. They want you out and walking. So don't stress about getting them done. Enjoy your item with your family and friends. As for preparing for different Proteins.... I bought several types and ended up not being able to use any of them. My body didn't tolerate the Proteins I picked up. Try and be sure you have some whey isolate around. I really like Unjury! Wish you the best of luck on your journey.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
