Good morning! I hope your month is going well also.

My goal is kinda weight related, so not sure if this officially counts, but it’s my goal so I’ll post it.

Since surgery back in February I feel like all I’ve done is work, go to Pilates, work, plan my food, work, stress about when the next time I’ll poop is, work, log food, work, make sure my Protein and Water is on point,work, go to support group, work...

My current lifestyle is so dramatically different from my previous one. What I feel has suffered the most is my friendships because every activity done with friends also centered around food.
My goal for May/June is to get back out and reconnect with friends and just go do something that won’t derail me.
There are a couple local arts festivals coming up and while those used to center around what kind of food/drink I could eat, this time around I just really want to hang with friends and be part of the crowd again. Also I’d love to go to the local AAA ballpark and enjoy a game sans the requisite beer and hot dog.
It will be tough because I’ve put myself in this little insulated world for the last 100 days, but it’s time to get out and start becoming part of life outside my bariatric bubble.

Listened to the Podcast Mobituaries. I really enjoy Mo Rocca.

Went to the gym burned a bunch of calories came home and had a great dinner. (Pork tenderloin and salad) I’m going to bed early tonight and be ready to hit it again tomorrow.

Boy I’ve been having a rough time keeping up this month!
13) play with an animal. We have two dogs and watch my sons dog when they both have to work 12 hour shifts so got this one covered.
14) cook from scratch. Every day 😍
15) Read a book. I’m reading β€œnever binge again” on kindle. It’s a free download. Warning though - he refers to his binge as β€œthe pig”. It doesn’t offend me because he’s experienced it and he’s using his own experience.
16) Listen to a podcast . Done. I listened to James Miller Lifeology this morning.

We’re halfway through the month and I’m down 6 lbs. My goal was 10 for the month so hopingπŸ™πŸΌ

#16 Listened to the Keto Diet Podcast (Leanne Vogel), episode w/ Ashley Salvatori. I play with keto but I am not all in. Still can't believe that so much fat can ultimately be good for you. Especially since many of the people in my IF groups that do keto have terrible bloodwork. But i am open minded---and desperate!!

#17 Did this last weekend, but I can't seem to dump my old clothes. they are piled in bags in the bottom of my closet.

Day 3 of my no junk food challenge. I want to murder someone.

I can try next month but if someone else wants too I’ll step aside! If I do it I may need help with technical aspects of posting images.

Yes !! I have a lot of dental work that needs to be done. I have a dentist phobia after a horrible experience when I was 19. I finally made the appointment and went Wednesday to come up with the plan. It’s going to cost about three times as much as my first new car!!! But hubs and I came up with a plan how to pay for it last night . Procedures will begin May 30th . I could use all the prayers or good vibes or happy thoughts you all would like to send!

Terrible as in how? I’m also dabbling with Keto and what’s scared me before is my liver disease and how that will relate to the high fats. But I’m all for the low carbs

and sorry to laugh at your pain but the 3 day no junk comment really made me chuckle πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
