Yeah, hope you get it!! I've seen them here in several places this past few weeks.

Does anyone know anything about the new Jillian game for the Wii Fit?? DIL wants one for Christmas and I was thinking of putting one on my "wish list", but DH thinks it might be "too physical" for me after he looked it up on the internet. Amazon.com has it, and Circuit City is advertising it in their flyer this week.

I know that Steph had ordered it and I was hoping to hear about it from her.

We did get one. Frozen toes and all!! We also bought 2 games to go with it, but I think just like the Wii console...we are going to end up liking the game that comes with it better than any.

Well it got up to 25 degrees and now it is quickly on the way down again. We are back down into the teens. We are supposed to have a HIGH of 13 tomorrow. Lows are going to be in the negatives. This is Minnesota weather!! The Dept. of Transportation posted on their website. "severe weather warning. Travel with survival gear" Ummmm....I think we will be staying on THIS side of the mountains. Still haven't heard if our kiddos made it back from the coast or not.

Well I am going to go take a nap. The wii fit and the early morning freezer wore me out!

Hi. Been doing Christmas shopping, etc. with the family. Thought I'd pop in and see what everyone's up to this weekend. My restriction has loosened up a bit but I can still control portions so I feel good about it. I just love the fact that my hunger is no longer controlling me and for the first time in a very long time, I feel I am truly eating to live and not living to eat.

Hi Everybody,

Computer not letting me change fonts again.

Yesterday me and DH spent the day in the French Quarter. It was lovely. N.O. is a beautiful city. We went to Christmas shop. I got nothing, except a few things for me, as usual. Then we went to the mall. I got one thing for DS. One thing DD wanted was sold out. I freakin out, I have so many presents to get. I can't think of, nor find anything. I'm overwelmed. I can't remember a Christmas were I couldn't find presents.

We had light jackets on yesterday. Today, I had to put on the AC. I cooked one of my pumpkins from Halloween. My brother was over, and he kids liked it. So I gave them some. So I chopped up the other big pumpking I had and cooked that one. It just finished.

Tomorrow I have a Dr. appointment. I think I have gallstones. The pain started about a month. ago. I thought it was my boob. Then it moved to my back. Now my right shoulder blade on my back hurts all the time. I have had to take a sip of my Loritab everynight to sleep.

I'm off to take a bath and wrap the 2 presents I have. Lord this Christmas shopping is stressing me.

YOWSERS!!

That gives me chills just thinking about it!! Actually, I already had chills because I"m freezing! It's 49 degrees outside, 62 inside, pouring down rain and I"m sitting under an electric throw that's on HIGH!! BUT, we DID go to Water aerobics this morning anyway!! Only light showers when we left, and we had to put the CD player undercover so it woulnd't get wet. And only 9 of us showed up! Heck, you're going to get wet anyway, and the pool water is HOT, and we need our exercise!! Heck, I'll be under this blanket on the couch for the rest of the day!! I don't even want to get out from under to go potty!! The cat seems quite fascinated with watching the water trickling down the outside of the window. I think she may actually be hypnotized by now.

Denise - I had gall bladder issues back in 85 - and mine hurt me exactly where yours is hurting you... Weight loss will prompt gall bladder issues (you never talk about that - how are you doing in that department) - my GF who had bypass was given medicine to prevent hers from acting up..

Going AWOL again this week. From the gym, that is. Took a header off the front porch on my way to church, Sunday. OUCH ! ! ! ! The top step was ice and my feet just flew out from under me. Don't ask me how, all I know is I ended up on my stomach, face in the snow, facing the other direction. And my left butt cheek hurts...............BIG TIME ! ! ! Colorful, too.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
