I am bored, let's talk.

😀😀

How is everyone doing? In general, with pre-op goals, post op? Anything?

Anyone around Baltimore, MD?

Not to far from you, I'm in red lion up Shrewsbury way. All is good, started a new job that I really like other than the hours. Not losing weight as fast as I should but I'll get there. Made it to wonderland for a day. How's things on your end?

I'm in pre-op still. I don't officially start pre-op until 6/1, but have essentially been eating similar to the post-op meal plan for the last two weeks. I'm down about 17lbs. I'd love to lose another 20-30 before surgery, but it's hot as snot here and makes working out miserable. (Florida)

How are you doing?

Yea, PA is pretty close. Depending on the part. Glad you are digging your new job! That is always a plus.

Congrats on making it one onederland, even if just for a day!!! That still means you are super close.

I am doing well, happily surprised at my ease of this surgery and the process so far! I seem to be loosing weight quick (my surgeon and nutritionist agree) but I am not trying to get accustomed to it because it will eventually slow down. I just have a lot to loose so it is moving quicker for now. I am for now, just enjoying the ride!

That's awesome!! Great job!

I did the same thing, at my very first nutritionist apt (which was in the very beginning of my process, 5 months before surgery) I was given an allowed calorie range to try to stick too. Nothing drastic. Mine was 2000-2200 a day (6ft tall) so I started that day tracking all my foods and just making slightly better decisions. I lost 24 lbs pre-op! I was pumped. Then lost another 12 lbs on my pre-op diet!

Been raining a lot here so haven't been able to ride my bike. I haven't really started "working out" yet. It is boring. I want to start boxersize again. It is fun and gives you a hella workout. I just need to DO IT!

I have never taken my own temperature. Either my mother as a child, or at a doctor's appointment. I have never even owned a thermometer.

LOL... For what it's worth, that made me wonder where the saying came from (other than my grandpa), and it is ill advised to look it up.

yucky day here...I'm in Southern Maryland just below Annapolis so you have yucky weather as well. I will have to time my walk today between rain showers or go to the gym but I find I burn more calories when walking outside instead of on a treadmill.

Yea, rain rain rain!

Interesting about the difference in calories. Maybe because it is not perfectly smooth terrain? Even though it may be minimal, your feet and body are still making constant tiny adjustments that you may not even notice.

Did you really look it up? I’m curious where it came from. I’ve never heard it before.

Yes... I think also that you actually have to do all the work propelling your body where with a treadmill the "ground" moves under you. I just had my sons plant some plants for me on mother's day so the rain is good for that.

Ugh, I am trying to grow an orchid and I bet I have failed way more than you. Good news is if you save your receipt Walmart will exchange it. This policy may bankrupt them if they get too many people like me.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
