hello everyone. got back from the smokies today. we had a great time! we done alot of shopping and riding looking at the wildlife this time. got to see a very big fox adn alot of deer. one of them was about 4 feet from my window.

when we went shopping at the tanger outlets we walked the entire thing. but this time i never got where i was tired. and before i couldnt walk have way with out sitting down and resting. so i felt so good to be able to do that. and another thing since losing weight i can now buy stuff off the rack. didnt get to do any hiking this time, because it was to cold for the kids to hike. well im very tired and im going to get some sleep i check back in later.

I'm so glad you had such a good time Jason! You and your family deserved it! I know how you feel though, I can't wait until I can go to Six Flags with the kids and not feel embarassed when I go to ride something! That is my goal....

Glad you had a nice trip Jason. We have not been there in forever! I know what you mean April, it is really sad on what my kids have probably missed out on because of my comfort.

Well today was a test run for Thanksgiving dinner. We had our office dinner. I am new so I didn't want to appear "picky" so I took a spoonful of everything (funny how judgements are made about someone just from how they eat). I did not get any desert. Now I sitting here at my desk, I think it is funny that I ate about 1/4 of what everyone else ate, and I am probably 10 times fuller. Overall it gave me a good idea on how to handle Thanksgiving with the family.

=)

Hopefully we we go to the mountains in Feb, I'll be able to do a lil hike with hubby and the kids. Hubby usually does the 8 or more miles ones but he can do a small one with us instead of going alone. I should be able to keep up by then.. instead of sitting on the sidelines...

Our work has Thanksgiving dinner stuff today, I might get some mashed taters if they have any or I might try something if it is soft....

For the first time in my life, I'm not doing all the cooking and cleaning for Thanksgiving. For everybody, that is. Hubby and I are leaving for the beach tomorrow and I'm planning a new traditional seafood feast for two!

It's amazing, when I stay on my "program", I lose weight. Another 1.5 gone this morning. I must behave, I must behave.......

It's the protein! Ashely suggested an apple a day. I can't remember that, so I get those Fiber Choice sugar free tablets. They work.

Diane I too will be at the beach and I am sooooo looking forward to the time away!

As you all know I am 13 days post op, and I have been reading about band slippage. I am not eating what I shouldnt but am worried when I eat mushies and then progress onto solids that it will slip. If it does slip will you know it? Did any of you have that concern? I have read of folks who didnt follow the diet or was told by their DR that they could eat solids earlier and they seem to be doing well. Did you all stray or were you all compliant with the DR orders?

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!:)

It is beautiful in Gulf Shores this morning! Happy Thanksgiving.

I think slippage is pretty rare, actually, but from what I've learned , it's most definitely caused by misbehaving! Eating solids too soon can cause your pouch to stretch before it is fully healed from surgery. I've read alot about what other doctors suggest here, and of course they are all different, but I stuck with what our drs recommended. Seems like Veronica has said, they have only seen two slippages (or it was a very low number anyway) so I feel they are offering sound advice. I have to say it boggles my mind, so many people in other forums here don't have a clue what they are supposed to be eating, etc. Evidently our docs are very good with education, as well.

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful day!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
