Met with surgeon & hand therapy people today. My thumb is healing, the graft isn’t dying & they said it looked good. I thought it looked gruesome & very much like a Walking Dead zombie finger.

Anyway decided to wear a new skirt. Took me ages to Iron it. All those pleats & it’s a wrap. 😱 It still looks like it’s been stuck in my cupboard for months. Well I guess it had been. The problem of having to buy northern summer clothing in our winter.

Meant to ask if you any pxts of your daughter @kristieshannon? Love to see her bridal gown.

@Arabesque, oh how I love me some box pleats. I used to wrap my mom's curtains around me as a kid and pretend I was all FANCY. If I wasn't so much trouble to take my own curtains down and up, i'd do it now. LOVE THAT SKIRT.

@Lynda486: well someone has lovely legs 😍

Last night was Riverfire which concludes the month long Brisbane Festival - performances, street art, exhibitions, etc. Fireworks are always so glorious & appeal to the child inside. These are located along the river which meanders around the city, on floating barges, on bridges & tops of city buildings. Every vantage spot, apartment building or hotel along the river or with river views overflow with people watching the extravaganza all timed to music played by a local radio station. Thought you would enjoy a short burst.

Great skirt and looks like fun Arabesque

You go on a vacay Lynda?

Speaking of vacays, I never imagined I'd actually want my picture taken, much less pay for photographer to do so. WLS is life changing (along with plastic surgery!)

I love that skirt! So classy :) No pics of the bride yet, she insisted on professional pics of her only so we’re waiting on the photographer to finish her editing.

I’m sorry to hear that. I know it’s hard. Did y’all come up with a plan?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
