Sorry it's been so rough but you sound like you're handling all this stress well. You've always been so good about getting back on track (eating.) I'm busy now but wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. Peace.

Babs, so sorry for your family's loss.

Compression garments from head to toe? You're gonna roast. Now, for real, how many will you have to wear? When I had my surgery which included a Tummy Tuck (not for weight loss) I was in one from high waist to knees. Good thing you don't have to take them off & on to go to the ladies' room!

Hi Babs,

Hope things smooth out soon. The Cancun trips sounds exactly like what you need after all of this. Best wishes, Teresa

Babs, I'm glad you can see the end in sight for your MIL's visit. Sounds as if she can't focus on anyone except herself right now -- understandable, I guess, after such a loss. I hope your husband is coping well. She might have lost a husband, but her son lost someone he's known his entire life. Good luck next week.

Sorry for the loss of your Father-in-law. It was great of you to take such good care of your Mother-in-law. I know it has been extremely stressful for you, but it is only for a short time. Hang in there!

Have a wonderful time! Cancun is where the love of my life proposed to me, so I have VERY fond memories of it. If you can, take the day trip to Xcaret. It's amazing!

Hasta la vista, Babsy!! :)

I'm so sorry for what you have been going throuhg. Sorry about your FIL, and I'm sorry that you have had it so rough, with your MIL. It is understanding that your MIL is having a hard time right now, but you are being a very good daughter to her indeed. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNREWARDED. Have fun in Cancun and enjoy your vacation. I'm so excited about you getting your tt, I too am scheduled for one this summer and can't wait to have my bulges gone. I'm a bit scared, but mostly just very excited. And I'm sure not looking forward to wearing those tight girdle pants ( I had Lipo on my outer thighs two years ago) and those pants are the hardest thing about the whole recovery thing. I hate to wear tight stuff, yuck!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
