Really Great Day



Recommended Posts

Today I went to Old Navy, and I went for the XXL pajamas as per usual and when I tried them on they fell off!!! I bought them in XL and they are even big...just wanted to share it was a fantastic experience.

I also made an incredible dinner:

I took my slow cooker and added:

2 chicken breasts

1 Can of Black Beans

2 cans no sodium crushed tomatoes

2 Tsp Cumin

a couple dashes of hot sauce

Chili powder

I left it for the day and when I got home I shredded the chicken with a fork. It was a shredded chicken black bean chili. I sprinkled cheese on for the husband and put it on rice for him. For me it was just plan and it was very tasty!!

Hey there.

That's awesome news! Congratulations.

It's great to hear stories like yours. I've only been banded for a week and a half and have a little bit of lingering discomfort at the band site still. Hearing about great days like yours really helps to keep up the spirits while enduring the healing process and nothing but liquids!

Thanks for sharing the positive news!

I think we all need more good news on here!!! Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I will admit I have good days and bad days gains and losses however as long as you stick to it the results will come.

As far as my port it hurt for a good two months after surgery and I could not sleep on my stomach without my pillow however it has since gone away. I think it is because you can easily feel my port under my skin? Not really sure.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
