The Holidays are coming up!



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else kinda nervous about Thanksgiving and Christmas? This is my first holiday season as a bandster, so I'm kinda scared. Any advice? Thanks!

My family go out for lunch most years, but this year I said that it would be silly of me to come cause I won't be eating much and its $150 per person, luckily I never have to pay. Also my family Celebrate it on the Gold Coast which is a three hour drive each way. My husbands family always have us over the day after Christmas which I think i'll get out of by saying I have organized to visit my family that day, I never like the spread they put on its always disgusting and most of the time they give you jelly, custard, tin fruit and cream for desert which I really hate, but their sweets after desert are to die for. If I could just skip to the sweets i'd go but they don't know i'm banded and never will. I am not going to buy any Christmas food because I know I will eat it and I figure everyone else will have Christmas food. I just adore Christmas food, fruit mince pies, stollen, ginger bread, christmas cake with marzapan & thick icing, plum pudding with brandy custard, Glühwein, i'm going to miss it going straight to my thighs this year. Oh well. I figure seeing as I am not a big fan of Christianity I shouldn't be doing the christmas thing anyway, but I do believe in Santa Clause and i've been an extremely good girl this year so I will be accepting all presents and cash.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
