Hey all, glad to see you posting about the 3 day cravings!!! I'm on day 2 with no ice cream... that stuff is like CRACK for me! I'm wanting it badly... but I'll make it! Did I post it here? I'm TRYING to say NO to ice cream until my birthday - 5/12. So that is just under 2 months... I REALLY want to lose 20 pounds by then.

Cute kiddo J!!

Okay, bought a new pair of cycling shorts last week from Performance Bike. (I needed a smaller pair....hooray!) I rode both days last weekend, and I am more sore than I have ever been! EVER!

So I examined the chamois...the ones I was wearing before have a solid chamois with stitching only around the perimeter, and it wasn't gender-specific. The new pair has a gender-specific "Y" chamois with stitching around the perimeter and two seams along where it would fold where your leg meets your body.

THESE SUCK!

Can any of y'all make a recommendation? I am just not knowledgeable about these yet.

P.S. Bought Bicycle Magazine today and it is the 2008 Buyer's Guide for bikes and gear, so maybe I'll get a clue there. I'd prefer y'alls input, though. It's always better to get first-hand testimonials.

Yes, BG...we missed you! And that's not ALL I missed! Not only didn't I notice when J dropped into ONE-derland (shame on me!)...but I didn't even realize that my BMI turned blue and went "normal"! JEEZ LOUISE! My heart leapt when I read that and I had to scroll back to my last post just to see it! What a dork I am, huh? LOL

Congrats, J! That is so amazing! You have come so freaking far! What I DO notice about your signature every time is your total weight lost...it is amazing to me every time I see it!

Congrats.gif

Awe shucks.

I just saw 199 this morning, so you didn't miss a thing. I nearly called BG at 7am to tell her, because I know she's awake then, but I refrained and sent her an email later. I certainly don't expect people to just notice what's going on in my ticker.

But thanks. Really, I went digging for old photos...and 8 years ago I weighed 338, maybe more. I didn't even want to look at the photos. So yeah, when I think about going from a size 32 pants (not waist) to a size 16, it's simply amazing!

And to be reenergized about getting to goal is fantastic 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? 🤷‍♀️
