Well, I bought a cook book from my surgeons office. Eatting Well After Weight Loss Surgery. I picked three reciepies outta the book and shopped for all the IN-GRED-I-ENTS today. Sooo I am gonna roll up my sleves and take a poke at this cookin thing. You should have seen me in the food store! I was sooo confused! Do you know how many spices are in the spice isle??? FRESH cauliflower, you mean it all doesn't come in a bag in the frozen food isle? Balsamic Vinegar? Does that come from from country of Balsam? I acutally got fish outta the fish market! It didn't come in a box nor was it breaded or shaped like a stick!!! Soooo far Im impressing myself! We will see when it comes Monday dinner time. We usually get take out on the weekends so all of the IN-GRED-I-ENTS are in the kitchen looking at me, looking at them! hehehehehehe I will letcha know how it goes. I am going to try and cook pork loin and a cheese cake on Monday...

WISH ME LUCK!

You're cracking me up! Be careful tho -- the cooking bug is hard to get rid of once you've realized how fun it is. :)

Tee hee - you make me feel blessed that we have so much wonderful fresh food that is cheap and easily available in this country.

I usually buy organic fruit and veges, have them home delivered. You wouldnt believe how good those taste.

I think learning how to cook properly and how to really nourish yourself are probably two very big hurdles.

Another great book is called before and after , she had GBP but there are some really wonderful meals that are high protien and low fat/sugar in it. Here is the Amazon link [ame=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060567228/103-2422029-9776602?v=glance]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060567228/103-2422029-9776602?v=glance[/ame] I got mine at a discount book store for $8 and I love it, I have made several of the protien shakes and my mom just make the sugar free cheesecake and it was really good. ~Mandy

Jachut ~ HOME DELIVERED??? You can get fresh food home delivered? Where do you live? The only thing that you get delivered in New York tends to be loaded with fat and half of the meal is stuck to the lid of the container it came in....The food tastes great!! But....nothing that is good for you could possibly be delivered!!! Then again, maybe I haven't looked hard enough....ehehehhe thats always a possiblity.

Oh my goodness Jack ...I never thought that this could be a habit. Now Im scared.

MollyMolly ~ Cooking bugs? What the heck goes on in YOUR kitchen?? heheh sorry couldn't resist. I am in a WEIRD mood tonight!

Fee ~ Thanks for the support!!

Piercedqt ~ Thank you for the link. I will keep it handy so I can order the cookbook you mentioned...after I set the one I have on fire.

Monday is quickly approaching. I still have time to back out :) I wont. I gotta learn how to do this.

I got out and walked walked walked tonight and ran into a friend from high school...The world must have tilted off its axis or something....buying a cook book, getting the stuff to cook AND exercise...what the??? QUICK someone look outside for flying pigs! ehehehe Okay, Im babbling. I will talk to you all later!!!

GOOD NIGHT

Welp, I made it out alive...Didn't cause any botchilism, no salminella poisoning....The dish I made was pretty good. Had a lot of different flavors going on. It was salmon with a dill sauce. I will more than likely make that dish again.

Tonight is going to be...or hopefully going to be I should say...pork loin with plum sauce

I will talk to you all later!

GOOD DAY

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
