1-4
Yes.
5. No. If I’m going to text someone all night long, then I’ll call instead. When hubs and I first started dating we lived over 150 miles apart but we would have about an hour long phone call most nights
6. Yes
7. Absolutely. And the feeling was returned and we dated for about 6 months.
8. Not the actual phone, but the phone records from the bill.
It was the year 2000 and that’s how I confirmed the kids dad was having an affair.

Done them All except for the friends Sibling-every one I can think of was 1. Rotten Disposition 2. Belched, picked their nose or scratched private area in public 3. Gay 4. In colleges 3 states away or 5. were too much like the Rotten Little Brother I never Wanted!
But, the rest -Yep did them ALL- I even dated a guy in another country so I guess I trumped Sheribear68 after all!

Day 3:
I'm away from home on a conference so dependent on lunch provided at the conference. In the past, I lived to eat everything at the dessert table but today, had Beans and shrimps and was stuffed silly!! What a humungous change in lifestyle!![emoji119][emoji119] I didn't even think about cheating!

Abs anywhere completed on the trail attached below [emoji116][emoji116]

PS: I brought out work out clothes and actually wore them and made sure I completed my abs exercise as well as get my steps in [emoji123][emoji123][emoji123]
Like I said the change in my lifestyle has been mindblowing! Thanks for the accountability[emoji7] 🧡[emoji176]20191003_182926.jpeg 20191003_185159.jpeg 20191003_183157.jpeg 20191003_185133.jpeg

3. Got the abs anywhere done and some cardio at the gym. Didn't pack a lunch as I've been coming home for that lately. But when I do pack one, I do make sure it's healthy. Today I'll be carrying a banana "just in case".

4. Somewhere today I'll get to the gym - either mid morning during a cancellation or after the dentist this afternoon and then there's yoga tonight. I don't think I'll be entirely unplugged today but pretty close - but I'm here aren't I? LOL.

Day 4:
I obviously didn't unplug as I'm on here [emoji38]
I'm away from home and unplugging is not an option much as I would love to.

Abs anywhere done. I must say my abdominal muscles are protesting SERIOUSLY!!

For the confession. First time since surgery EXACTLY 7 weeks ago, I cheated [emoji27][emoji27][emoji27] I had a forkful of red velvet mini cupcake. It was the oddest feeling in the world! Like what infidelity would feel like. I cheated on my surgery and new lifestyle!!! I felt weird for a while. Was able to let what was left go. I told myself I won't let this define my journey and recommit myself to staying mindful. It was a humbling experience and hopefully I come out wiser and better🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡[emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]

Okay. One forkful isn’t a cheat so I’m glad you’re not beating yourself up.
If-instead of the single forkful, you would’ve zoned out and mindlessly eaten 3-4, then that would’ve been a cheat.

Many times I’ve found myself at social events and had just a couple of bites of something I “shouldn’t” but that’s just life

B-Side Question:




What was the worst job you've ever had?


Okay so I’ve basically done the same job for the last 33 years, but there have been places that have been better than others.
My job will always be challenging and there are days I want to curl up in the fetal position after (like when I’m working multiple 12+ hr days in a row, but the pay is decent and I’m very good at it.
At the end of most days, that’s good enough for me

Day 5:

Abs anywhere Done but barely... I might be at law of diminishing returns so I may take tomorrow off so I'm better on Monday.

This conference I'm at as well as the dessert table continue to test all my willpower!! It's eye opening to finally see what headhunger feels like [emoji19][emoji19][emoji19][emoji19]

B side: I was a grocery store bagger in freshman year of college!!! I had high schoolers who were cashiers send me on errands to go for price checks and also get carts!!! Granted I went to college at age 16 but still...it was occasionally pride busting!!![emoji57][emoji21]

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
