Where'd everyone go? Am I all alone in here again? No wonder I disappear from time to time. I hate being alone.:biggrin:

Ran 4.1 miles this morning. Back to lifting tonight. Body needed the rest, but I'm itching to get back. Amazing how one week off can make you feel weak.:ohmy:

Morning all!

Ceradad - you are not alone...:biggrin:

Steady with my walking, jogging and still need to fit some weight training in there somewhere...

Back in school - taking two tough classes (lots of reading) so not a lot of time, but that's really no excuse.

Loving my running program - going to extend the distance this week. Still on track to run a 5k this fall - end of September or mid-October is looking good for my first distance "race". I won't be trying to come in first, just to finish.:ohmy:

Have a terrific Monday, everyone!:crying:

Just got in from a walk - felt better (tho my neck is still a little stiff) so off I went...

DDog loves the route, but is a little upset with me right now because the "shuffle" feature on my iPhone ended up with all fast music, so I was kinda speeding along...:biggrin:

Soon as I can get Prevention.com's walking maps feature to work again, I'll be able to log my mileage. Right now, it's not working...

The walk takes me about 40 minutes (allowing for potty breaks for DDog)...I think it's a little over 2 miles...

*update* just got the darn site to sorta kinda work...my "long route" is 1.79 miles; my normal route is just over 1 mile. I think I gotta extend my distance!

Anyway - it felt great!:ohmy:

Chest workout last night. Felt very weak after 1 wk off. Ran 1 mile on treadmill afterwards.

This morning, I ran 3.6 miles in a torrential downpour. Thought I had waited it out before I started, but no such luck. Got about 1 mile out in a light rain when it started downpouring again. Worst part was running across the Mississippi on a pedestrian bridge when there was lightning all over. Ended up gaining about 10 lbs in the shoes and clothing. It was interesting to say the least.

Hi Everyone!:)

Lovely cool morning in CT - felt great running this morning. Only drawback? My 80-ish pound DDog, Sisko, decided HE didn't want to run with me! I spent the first half of the route (ran the whole thing without walking, Woo Hoo!) pulling him every few steps. He seemed to "warm up" after we reached the halfway point and he did his business. Didn't have to pull him much the second half, but I think my days of running with DDog are over. I don't want to keep pulling him, and I'm afraid he'll stop wanting to go if I'm always fussing at him...looks like he's being demoted to walking partner only :w00t:

Wow, Ceradad - you ARE a soldier! Most people would have given up and not gone out in the LIGHT rain, let alone kept going through a thunderstorm and lightning...

Nah, I just figured the heavy stuff wasn't going to come for awhile yet.:thumbup: Once it hit, I simply figured how could I get any more soaked than I already was. Plus, I was just happy there wasn't any hail!

Re: running in the rain...

I don't let a light rain stop me...especially now that I've gone "natural" with my hair and don't care if it gets wet - heck, I like my curls better when it's wet, so no problem!

Now because I wear glasses, steady rain gives me problems...if my glasses fog up or have drips running down them, I don't see as well. Luckily, when I'm out there - around 5 am - there aren't many other people out there with me! :thumbup:

Had to log my walk at lunchtime - it was wonderfully cool today compared to the past week or so. I didn't eat much today, so my blood sugar was a bit low. I took it easy and did a slightly shorter walk, but now it's after lunch, I've eaten some Protein and carbs, and I'm ready to go for my walk to the train station at 5!:)

Leg workout Tues afternoon. First leg workout in 2 wks and I'm paying for it now. Yesterday was back and bicep workout and 35 min. on elliptical.

Due to extremely sore quads, no running this morning. I'll hit the gym this afternoon for shoulders and traps and a little cardio.

Happily posting that I RAN MY ENTIRE COURSE THIS MORNING!:w00t::w00t::thumbup:

Left DDog at home this morning - I don't think pulling him all the way out and back is good for me or him - and it was a beautiful cool morning, so off I went...

About halfway through, I thought "Maybe I can run the whole way"...about 2/3 of the way through I thought "I can run the whole way!"

I felt SO GOOD when it was done...tired, but good. Didn't realize what a mental crutch that one block stop in the middle had become until I ran through it. No more - now I'm going to extend my distance about 1/3 of a mile each week until I'm up to about 3 miles, which will put me in good shape for my planned 5k in late September / early October.

I'm so happy I can't stand it!:blushing:

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
