B-Sides questions:
What are you still having a hard time with post surgery that you believed would go away?


*sigh* restriction, I have very little. So the idea of leaving food on the plate for me is [emoji23]

I didn’t think I’d have to be dealing so much with the food addict side of things. I thought I HAD dealt with it but the ugly monster that raises its head late at night begs to differ

Tell me about it. chocolate is my kryptonite. Luckily (or unluckily) these days it makes me dump if I have more than a little bit and the sugar free stuff makes me spend the night on the porcelain throne. I paid good money for precisely that!

Did you have the sleeve or the bypass? I don’t have any dumping. I did the sleeve.

I am on the East Coast also....so glad to have the weather improving...cannot wait to get outside more.

B-Sides Questions: Do you prefer certain seasons or climates over others? YES! Spring/Fall and I do like summer a bit...but Winter can take a hike!

15- one thing that lights you up- watching my son perform on stage and hearing him sing

I prefer spring and fall. I’m not a big fan of extreme cold or heat. It keeps me from being outside. I love the days I can just throw on a pair of shoes and take a walk without having to worry about layers and layers of clothing or having to go at 5am to beat the heat .

I’m tying #15 and #16 together because they’re both the same for me. The thing that lights me up and deeply moves me is my family. They are my motivation for getting healthy even though I did this for myself. We support each other daily in all of our struggles and I’m just blessed that we all LIKE each other. (But of course there’s days I’d like to throttle them 😂😂😂)

I'm in Florida! I love every season BUT winter! I know, I know, it doesn't get that bad here but my blood is thin and anything below 50 kills me! :)

#21 - One area in life that could use more balance.....letting others do for themselves. I have always been the "if you want it done right, do it yourself" type of girl. That's fine but then I get pissed off when I have too many things on my plate! I'm getting better at letting go but like everything it takes time!

15. My dogs light up my life as do my cats.

16. I am deeply moved by the work I do and seeing the people I work with blossom.

B-Side - I think that I was hoping that I wouldn't have to think so much about food post surgery. Clearly that will never go away because I expect I will be logging my food for the remainder of my life time and making sure I get the right nutrition.

B-Side - I love the warmer seasons and mild climates. As I get older, I have less and less interest in being cold. Spring I love because everything is growing, Summer is a favorite because of everything blooming and swimming, fall is a favorite because of the colors and smells. Even Winter has it's pluses but....

15. One thing that lights me up. Predictably, my girly. She's 15 now and I thought I'd have it rough with the teenage years but she is such good fun. She has her father's sense of humour and makes me laugh so much. Plus she is a sensible girl so I don't worry about her nearly as much as I thought I would.

16. One thing that deeply moves me: seeing compassion in action. It makes me wanna be a better person. I LOVE the wholesome memes subreddit coz of that.

I love Irish summers but not Australian ones (too hot). I loved the wet season when I lived in Far North Queensland - warm, heavy rain is delightful.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
