How's Everyone Doing?

Hey everyone! I haven't been on here in forever and just wanted to say hello and ask how everyone was doing.

How's everyone handling their journeys with everything going on?

For me, the journey's been a challenge. I lost my job because of COVID and have had to take an assortment of temp jobs as result. This has made being able to afford supplements and protein powder difficult. But I'm still losing, and that's all that matters to me. I can't believe I'm almost down a hundred pounds since starting my journey (I started the pre-op diet last July)!

Another challenge I've noticed is that there's SO MANY foods I can no longer tolerate. A part from the protein shakes, the only sources of protein I can keep down without getting sick are lightly seasoned or canned chicken and beans. Although on my allowed foods list, tuna almost killed me and I can forget red meat and pork. I bought the recommended lean cuts and still got sick.

Most raw vegetables and fruits make me sick too. Ugh. It's frustrating! Maybe things will get better over time?

Anyways, I hope this is finding everyone staying safe and well during these crazy times. ❤️ you all!
