Well I am thankful this post got done without me here because I was KNOCKED OUT most of today. I’ve been doing a lot and I think I needed the sleep. I feel better now.

Today has been a pretty light eating day. I had two little egg muffins and fruit for breakfast. I got a flat white from Starbucks (rare treat but I love it) and just had some…[Read more]

Hey Maria. So sorry you’re feeling anxious. I think if you’ve prepped for your surgery, you will be fine, but I’ll still be thinking of you and saying a little prayer for speedy recovery!

If your stomach isn’t in the mood for food, that’s ok BUT don’t forget to drink your water. Last thing you need ahead of a medical procedure is to be…[Read more]

Ate half a bagel this morning…mostly because they were there.

Had blood sugar drop just a short time ago.

Sigh. When will I learn?

Wow, that is super stressful. And I’m sure it doesn’t help knowing the teacher pushes his buttons.

I’m going to send positive vibes your way. Hopefully that helps. In any case, hugs, mama.

Yay! It’s Friday!

Wow, that tagging thing really worked out for me. Let me take this opportunity to tag a few more folks…

Oh…

How’s your day today? 😉

I’ll start there. Monday I may tag “err-body!”

You know that is such a smart idea, doing prep now. I bet your hubby is so thankful.

I’m so glad you checked in today! I put your surgery on my care and concern list, so I’ll be checking up on you. <3

Hey there! Activity is likely to show up. But activity doesn’t have to mean vigorous exercise and it can be done at your own pace. I was thinking there’d be an amount of time per day (probably 30 minutes), which could be broken up however you want to do it.

But in general I’m almost never going to prescribe folks certain kinds of activities as…[Read more]

You guys are all awesome. That’s really all I have to say at this point!

@robin-miller this is your mid(ish) week sweep!

(That just means I’m coming through to check on you.)

How’s your week going? How is hubby doing? How’d the MRI turn out? (Forgive me if you went over this already somewhere else on the site.)

@sarahlareina this is your mid(ish) week sweep!

(That just means I’m going through and checking on everyone.)

How’s it going? You getting it all done this week?

Also did you save me some of the creamy garlic chicken??? 😉

Woot! Like I said on the support call, I love your “phased in” approach. I think you’re doing great!

You are so right! I’m glad you got something good out of both of these prompts.

You know one I had that I couldn’t figure out how to describe? Because we got so much rain late winter/early spring, everything here is so GREEN! But there’s like a million shades of green going. Emerald green, sage green, hunter green. It’s so beautiful to look at.…[Read more]

Have you tried finding a bariatrician instead of a bariatric surgeon? They typically focus on the whole weight loss picture (and are trained to be familiar with bariatric surgery patients). If you aren’t familiar with the term, here’s a good…[Read more]
