Good Morning everyone

I have my own issues, but so glad I don't have heartburn.. Although I know I can't eat spicy food like i use to. I was on a wing sauce kick last summer and was in bad shape at that point, but now that it is only a treat, I don't have any issues. I do add cyanne to everything to get the little kick I need.

Vicki - I'm sorry you are lonely, I so understand what you are saying. I need to take a road trip to visit you.

I've been sick as a dog, but finally sucked it up and taking antibiotics and feeling much better. Been detoxing all week and back down to my ticker weight so i'm happy, considering it is pms week, maybe I'll make the 70's next week.

Well off to bring some stuff to my dd that she forgot before it starts snowing too hard.

have a great day all

Val - you never know

I've been seeing this guy, and it is refreshing, he may not be "the one" but he treats me well, and I don't call him, he calls me, I have not seen him since Monday but he has called me every night to say good night and see how my day was. But he doesn't want to be in a relationship? LOL

I have more confidence than I have had in a longtime.

I had a long talk with my sister, she was bigger than me and has worked really hard and lost 75lbs in a year, she looks great and I was jealous. I'm wearing smaller clothes than her, but we are built completely different, always have been. So she weighs 156 and I m at 178, I'm an inch or 2 taller than her and for the most part don't hold my weight any one place. She has smaller legs and butt but bigger on top. She thought I had to be 135. I told her if I weighed 135 I would be a size 1. at 178 I'm a 12, and pushing a 10, someplace I've never ever been. She was floored. Funny, I see myself being so much different that what she saw me as, and told me not to focus on the scale because she would never guess in a million years I weighed that much!

OH well, had to share that, I still don't know how to absorb all that, 135 and she weighs less than me... I don't see it, any of it

Vicki - how are you doing today. I needed that laugh, and had to share it!

Off to get ready to get my hair done

everyday is a challenge, one way or the other, but isn't everyone having challenges? So i say val u must have made an impression if he is calling everyday and u must look great if everyone is telling u and it doesn't mean u looked bad before, u just look better. it must be an ego trip to have all this attention so take it and run with it. lol....

Jenn, good for u, didn't know u started seeing someone, I'm jelouse of both of u.

I am down to 192 this am, 3 more pounds to reach my 100 lb loss goal! yay. have a great day everyone and if you have any duds u want to get rid of toss them my way...lol

We are still feeling out the waters so not in a relationship at this point, but i'm content. and working on me!

I just got some very depressing news, student loans sucked up my tax return, no vacation for me, plus a lot of other things that needed to happen.

Vicki

I didn't realize you are down that much ... good for you, i'm happy for you

The stress of the next 2 weeks and today might just get me to where i need to be.

hugs to you all

yeah, wish I could say the same...since I have one person left to talk to....lol.... I am feeling tight again, it comes and goes usually, but it is not going away this time, even Water stays put for awhile, I have been up and down sooo much, i dont know what normal is anymore. does liquids stay in ur pouch for some time, if i try to burp, water comes up. I know it sounds disgusting, but I need to talk to a bandster to see if anyone else experiences this. Also, sometimes when i eat, i experience really bad pain in my chest until i get rid of it....any response is sooooooooooo appreciated..:thumbdown:

Oh Val, I thought finally I was where I was meant to be, and then this is happening and I am sooooo discouraged, I am either too tight or too loose, I am going to call on monday and see of I can get scoped, scared to get it done, but more scared of whats going on inside my esophogus.:smile:

I also feel miserable, cant eat or drink anything or I'm in every bathroom getting splashed in the face. eewwwwwwww.........

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
