Ok. I love my hubs so much but dang it he is giving me fits over dressing up on the cruise.....come on what's the matter with looking nice a few times. This is one vacation where I get to be pampered - we usually do a timeshare where I still cook 3x/day, and have all that that goes with it, I want to doll up and get waited on, some elegance.

I don't understand. He's upset that you want to dress nice? I'm lost...

I love cruises and have been on at least a dozen. I don't know what it is about people and the elegant night. You'd be surprised how many people are so put off by the idea. (I think that it has more to do with it being a mandatory dress code for the dining room rather than the dressing up itself.)

Even when I was heavy, I still liked dressing up. It is a nice change of pace. I'd say dress up and look like a million bucks no matter what he wants to wear.

Have fun! I need to get back on a cruise soon, myself...

LOL how annoying! My boyfriend got mad at me on Sunday for putting on makeup and wanting to look nice to go to lunch. He wants me to look like crap because it's quicker lol I enjoy getting dolled up. Men! lol @Sosewsue61

He did go get a much needed haircut, lol. And I kept telling him - in the main dining room - no jeans (buffet ok, bf you can wear Docker shorts, etc - but he had his man ears on when I told him all this 5 times). The thing is we are also square dancing and at regular dances he dresses for that....it's too funny....

I am sooooo excited we fly tomorrow morning. I have so many new clothes, a lovely dress with lace, new shoes, etc etc. I got my hair highlighted and a crazy glitter pedicure!!!!🛳🏝🏖🌞🎉

      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? 🤷‍♀️
