Omggg. Pears sound so good right now lol.

I'm definitely going to pick up one of those rotisserie chickens for my first meat meal then possibly some ground bison and pulse it in the blender a couple times.

So excited for next Thursday lol

I find myself fantasizing about food. And no, I don't mind if it's only four ounces of food... That still sounds awesome. I just want real food! Four more days....

I've decided to stop weighing everyday. Although I think it's a mistake... I'm gonna try it. I don't want to get discouraged if I don't lose from one day to the next on the other hand weighing everyday keeps me on point so idk... It's tricky. Thoughts?

Pre-op I weighed in weekly using my NUT's scale. Now I weigh myself daily. I lost about 2 lbs a week pre-op. I am now losing 1 lb every two days. I think I can handle the stalls and inconsistency, but I know that we are susceptible to depression so maybe counter your need to weigh with doing a Leslie Sansone five minute walk or something else?

I am not dreaming of food yet. I watch the food network and get my fill of food prep and although I would love to eat now, I hope to make good choices in the future. It is hard, but we can overcome this. Thursday is scaring me cause I don't want to puke.

I just had something delicious. Strained cream of chicken and mushroom Soup. Campbell's. Instead of Water I used low sodium chicken broth. It was really good

Finding something yummy makes a BIG difference. I have enjoyed my Soup choices, especially a line that I have only found at Whole Foods (I see they are available in Sprouts and Bristol Farms too), called IMAGINE. Glad to know you found a good one 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? 🤷‍♀️
