A Tribute to Holiday Hotties



Recommended Posts

Months then days soon to be just hours

It's a journey like no other

It's a journey that no other can take for me

One step closer to being alright I can see

We take this path with each other

We share with one another

In this time and place

We all prepare for that one big day

In a year from now

We all will share how we have achieved

Those goals that we once could not believe

Be strong in the last few days

Know now that you will change

Hi Florida Pete remember me, I was banded on August 28 and you gave me very encouraging words to get me through it. Well I can tell you that I am doing great, I lost 50 so far and feel really good. I had one fill of 2.5 ccs and I should get another fill next month. I see you are getting banded soon and I just wanted to let you know if you need any advice, support or just want to vent you can send me a message. OK. Take Care and have a great holiday. I will be in touch. All the best, Angcal26:thumbup:

Hi floridapete thanks for the poem it is wonderful.. I am recovering well from the banding down 13lbs already. It is not an easy journey. I have not had any problems tolerating food just tired of liquids already.. Have to be on liquids for 1 more week will be glad to start solid foods. I bought a babyfood turkey dinner for Today I bet it tastes yummy. You are getting closer to your date so I wish you good luck.. If any questions I am sure I can help you..Have a happy Thanksgiving

      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.
