Travel day!
My eats so far:
Breakfast sandwich with egg whites & sausage
A small bowl of chili w/ cheese and a garden saladNot sure what’s on deck for dinner. I think I’m on my own for dinner. (Sad face)
Hope everyone else has a great day!

I haven’t done today yet but will when I get home. I like it mixed with fruit punch flavored sugar-free drink mix!
I believe I will continue as well. My eating has been very under control. I hope it’s not the placebo effect BUT I figure maybe there’s something in the gut chemistry that is changing? I dunno.

Final prep for my South Dakota trip! I take off just after noon tomorrow. Today I have to go get my wig done. (For those of you who do not know, Nik is as bald as an eagle so in my pic you always see me wearing a very well-crafted and professionally made wig.) I still don’t know what I’m wearing during the workshop. May pop by the mall after my…[Read more]

Thought/reflection journaling. Do you do it? Throughout my post-op life I’ve been super inconsistent with journaling but I find when I stop to write my thoughts down I get so much clarity on them and I learn new things about myself! So that’s what I’m challenging you to do with me during the month of May.
Here’s how this challenge will work:…[Read more]

We’re in the homestretch! I think it’s down to you, me and @susans_shrinking now…
I’m sticking with it til the end. I actually am enjoying whatever is going on with my body/appetite right now.

You all should have gotten an email from me about this, but just in case…
The other day Konica (@kspot42) was having a REALLY crappy day. And it left her wanting to munch on some not-so-great stuff that was hanging out in her kitchen. But here’s where I was really impressed with her…
She knew that’s NOT what she wanted to do. So she reached…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic A MUST LISTEN if you have had blood sugar problems in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
Have you ever listened to the Weight Loss Surgery Podcast, hosted by Reeger Cortell (a family nurse practitioner)? It’s so good!
This week she talks with a long-term post-op who is coping with reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar in reaction to the food he eats) and it is such a GOOD episode. So educational! It goes into what RH is, why it…[Read more]

Guys!!! Only a few more days until this big workshop in South Dakota.
I learned some things about that yesterday, namely that contrary to what the practice told me they arranged for auditorium seating, not table seating, which is what a significant portion of my program is based on (having table discussions, etc.) WOOSAH. So today I am reworking…[Read more]

Wind down? What’s that?
My Monday was VERY manic. I had work, then went to a happy hour for a departing colleague, then went home and straight into a conference call, had a brief hour to say hey to my kids before jumping on a training for bookkeeping that I need to do (which, by the way, who does bookkeeping trainings at 10 pm???

Realization is a good thing! Do you need anything? I always hate walking the line of being that person who reminds others to do things…but I know it can help!

Today I do NOT have a plan. Because I overslept. Sigh…this surgery cannot come fast enough!
For breakfast I shall not tell a lie. I was craving a Sausage Egg McMuffin. I got one with egg whites and cheddar cheese. I’ve since had an iced coffee. Gonna work on water for the next few hours. Didn’t pack lunch but will probably get a salad from…[Read more]

I didn’t do mine this morning. I will when I get home though.
Appetite reduction continues. I’m not under eating. For once I feel like a very well-balanced post-op! I will say, though, that I’m not sure whether to attribute that to the ACV, increased water consumption (which I actually think can be attributed to the process of doing the ACV…[Read more]
