#16 - January Goals Half Way

The good - logging everything I eat

The bad - hydration - meh, some days are better than others

The ugly - supplements and Protein, these were my two biggest goals, and I'm failing miserably

My Vitamins are liquid and kept in the fridge. I am hardly in there anymore so that's why I forget so easy... I started setting reminders so hopefully it'll help lol.

In other news lol, today is day 19 - when I DO remember to take my vitamins, I take Mary Ruth's daytime and nighttime liquid vitamins. I went over them with my NUT and Dr and the only downside/ question they had was that each one has 8g of carbs per serving. Sad ( or not so sad?) part is... that still keeps me well under their goal of 50g of carbs so they are okay to take. I love the liquid vitamins over pills. Pills sit like rocks in my stomach, and these are GF so with having CD I don't have to worry. Which is super nice!200532204_20190119_1803302.thumb.jpeg.b1fbb284ecc796bde3f57eda863a048a.jpeg

Ahhh yes, that would make it trickier! I've never thought of liquid vitamins b4 - I do wonder how well bypass peeps like me absorb the capsule / pill vitamins given our insides have been rearranged.

#17 - Today's Meals in Photos

No judgement please, I'm in maintenance and traveling for work. I was able to surreptitious capture Breakfast and lunch, but no way to be sneaky about it at dinner. (Actual pics from the 17th)

Tex Mex eggs Benedict (sub eggs whites for poached eggs, just because I prefer egg whites)

Lunch - Turkey, Bacon & Pepperjack Panini

Dinner - Duck and Dumplings - a play on chicken and dumplings, was CRAZY delicious and one of the few times I regretted not being able to eat more (I'm nearly always satisfied by small portions). Really wanted to take the leftovers, downside of business travel. No pics of this though :(

Ohhh ... I actually totally forgot

dinner started with a cocktail, a TX play on a Vodka Collins that include Jalapeno simple Syrup and cucumber, and dinner was had with a local TX beer. Dinner was followed by a dessert spread, but I only had a few bites of a decadent s'more brownie, followed by a glass of Port. Dinner was followed by two more late night beers. (I really should have looked at my food log before I finished my post :lol:)

#18 - Top Weight Loss Tip

I am no paragon of virtue. But what I did do for nearly the entirety of my weight loss phase was log every bite that I took. I really think it helped keep me honest about when I both succeeded and failed.

Sadly, I'm not even cleaning, just prepping for the housekeeper. She can't vacuum when there are shoes and Amazon boxes scattered everywhere!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
