I'm hoping I can manage this! I really need the extra motivation this time of year in particular...

1. My personal goal is to generally avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day.

2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing

3. CW 245.6, BMI 39.6 (just crossed out of morbid obesity - so proud of myself!)

4. I realize the challenge doesn't start until tomorrow, so for today I'll just say I'm grateful for this challenge! πŸ˜„

#1. I’m most grateful for my furnace today, it is cold and snowing here!

I can skip everything on that list minus white bread/flour. I don’t eat it often but it is one of my few vices and I deserve one!

eta: Gastric sleeve 8/18 maintenance

So um yeah... PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH -all thrown in the trash

Welcome to the November 2019 Challenge everyone.

There will be a few days where it may be impossible to be compliant. *cough* Thanksgiving, but the goal of this challenge is to clean up our diet/lifestyles enough that we don't treat everyday like a holiday (there are plenty coming anyway 😌)

1. My personal goal for this month is to drink more Water. I keep stalling and I think its because of the water intake.

2. I had the sleeve on 8/5/19 (post op & losing)

3. 312 lbs & 55 BMI

4. I'm most grateful for the extra 10 minutes of sleep I was able to get this morning :D I'm also just grateful that I have another day of life to live and that I woke up. God is good.

Oh and as far as the challenge goes, the no potatoes thing is going to be tough for me....

Day 1!

1. Avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day (so far so good, despite our treat table being LOADED with goodies today...)

2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing

3. CW 245.4, BMI 39.6

4. Today's question: What are you most grateful for today?

Today I'm feeling grateful for a lot of things, but since I'm in the midwestern US, I'm going to have to say I'm especially grateful for warm sweaters and blankets, because it's been COLD this week! Brrrrr.

Why'd you throw out the Kashi? It's one of the better things that I eat!

1. My personal goal for this month is to get back to regular exercise, even though it's not part of the challenge. Also, to clean up my diet. I've been having a self-indulgent little pity party going on since August and it needs to stop,

2. I had the sleeve Feb, 2018. Revision to Rny last Halloween. Maintaining

3. 151#, 24 bmi

4. Besides my family (given!) I'm most grateful for getting a "reset" button for my health and the possibilities that opens up for me.

It was just fun food for me and my NUT asked me to eat more vegetables for Fiber instead

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if theΒ random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
