Good afternoon everybody. I know this week I've been posting first thing in the morning but it's been a crazy morning had a crazy night last night. Before I continue I want to tell you I'm okay. I fell on the ice last night down the stairs at my sons friends house. I spend the night icing my legs and I have a couple of lines and big black and blues in my Hiney from the steps.

That's in the past

Today I am on track with my foods.

I am on track with my steps.

I have already been to the gym.

You can't keep a good woman down.

Well I got 20 minutes on the elliptical machine right before dinner. With that I did 200 step ups and 1 hour walking at work today. My meals were small. I probably ate one bite too many for dinner. I had chicken bites smothered in hot sauce. Got well over 100 oz Water. I think my pouch is gonna be ok after 4 years of abuse. I mentioned in another thread but I will mention it here as well. I am a binge eater. It has been 1 week since my last binge. Very thankful for the victory. I have been praying for power in this fight. The Lord is so good!

Good morning all.

Yesterday was not bad.

Foods 1700 because I went to a diner with my family for dinner. I did not want to go but they won.

Steps on track 11600 steps

No eating after 8:05. Once I realized it was 8:00 is stopped all eating. Coo tos to me. I did not finish my dinner because of the time. I did not need it anyway.

My nutrition was right on track. 40% carbs, 30%fats, and 30% protien.

I tried 3 new things yesterday. Brussels sprouts. Yummmmm. And spaghetti squash and butter nut squash that I cooked but did not try yet. I'll do that today.

Today I'm taking hubby to gym with me.

HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYONE

Happy Valentine's DAY! Love yourself and others today! We have flowers to take to Mom and Aunt Liz! When you are 90 plus it makes getting flowers soooo special! Giving love makes me feel so special all the way through. Finishing up the little treat boxes for the grand kids and need to deliver them. Had a spot of raw honey in my coffee this am! Having a heart shaped egg in the hole for hubby and me for Breakfast. A nice fresh strawberry salad and cup of Soup for lunch. dinner on way to hospital to visit Mom. Goal of elliptical on my list too ... it may be the long walk from parking garage if time is short but it counts! Big hospital and parking on outer end can be a sprint! :D

Heeeeey ya'll;) Happy VDay to everyone!

Well I made it through two kiddos valentine parties with no candy, ice cream or Cookies. I even bought cookies for my office at my favorite bakery and walked out WITHOUT their famous cake, that was a first so I'm pretty proud of myself!

On a slacking note not doing good with the exercise I knew this was going to be my biggest strugle so I'm going to start a calendar to count down the days till summer.

Doing great on calories and Water this week.

Just need to get myself moving. Today is cleaning day so that will count for today;).

Hey, everybody!! Glad to hear neither if you have been hurt falling on ice. That's scary stuff! I fell on ice about 15 years ago, broke my leg and ankle, 8 surgeries, and a LONG nightmare. It gives me the willies thinking about you guys falling.

All is well here. Had a major victory myself yesterday. DH walked in with leftover food porn (won't post so I don't trigger anybody & cause them to stumble) from his office. I didn't touch it. Not gonna touch it.

I made a low sugar/low fat sweet treat for us today, logged today's food plan into my fitness pal, and will rock & roll. I'm working on my first tumbler if Water and will get it all in today. Like some of you, exercise is my struggle. I've gotten in 5 walking miles each day for the last few days and I'd like to keep it up. I'll do at least three today and would ask you all to hold me to it. I'll report back in when it's done.

Keep working the plan. Keep celebrating the victories, regardless of how big or small. I love your encouragement and enthusiasm!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I'm having a fantastic day. And just like you said sticking to the program. I am on track with calories Water I've been to the gym and I've almost hit 10,000 steps for the day so far. My biggest accomplishment for today is that I just sat here watching my husband eating organic Peanut Butter cups and chocolate covered organic pretzels and as much as he kept them between us to share I did not have a single one. I will however have dessert later Ron with my two kids and my husband after a romantic dinner for the four of us.

2babutterfly - I'm gonna try to find that Jerky. Thanks for sharing!!

bacon - way to go on committing to do a 5k!! I walked one a few years ago and was glad I could check that off my to-do list. ;)

nailpro - victory on not sharing those snacks! glad it's been a great day!

I've eaten OP, even fixed a FF/SF dessert for my valentines and it was good. I love not having any guilt when I put it into my fitness pal and stay in my caloric range. Win!!

For accountability, just completed the 3 mile walk I committed to earlier today. Making it happen!!

Have a splendid evening!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
