Tuesday Coffee Talk
Good Tuesday morning everyone! Time to rise and shine. It's gonna be a wonderful day!
Our challenge for today is to not take WLS for granted. This surgery is an awesome tool that we have and if we take it for granted, in the long run, we only hurt ourselves if we regain. This surgery is for us to take seriously and to use as it was intended. We should eat like we were told by our surgeons, get in ALL of our water, get our daily protein intake, take ALL of our vitamins, and DO NOT OVER EAT!! Stop when you are satisfied and feel full. Taking weight loss surgery for granted is only going to disappoint us when we regain. It causes us to feel like failures and failures WE ARE NOT! So today, appreciate this tool. USE IT WISELY! I know you can. I have faith in you!
So, who's up? What cha sipping on? Me? I'm loving me some Sinful Pleasures coffee sent to me by my awesome friend Carmen. This coffee is GOOD! Thank you Carmen!
Y'all have a wonderful day and know that you are loved!

My lowest weight ever has been 168#. I got to a HIGH of 212# of regain WITH the help of medication (and yes, honestly, part of that WAS fluid retention). A large part of that was not though because the medication was increasing my appetite.
I am now back down to 184# and, I am going to KEEP ON GOING....
For I have come too far to stop now!

Randall...it seems you were reading my mind. Lately, I have gotten back into some old bad habits and need to get my head screwed back on straight. Today your challenge is just what I needed to get back on track...a reality check. A day to look myself in the mirror and ask myself am I really using my tool to the best advantage I can? I fought long and hard to have this surgery and here I go abusing it. Shame on me. So, I will pull myself up by the bootstraps and make today the first day of me getting back on the right track. Thanks for the reality check...I needed it.
I'm sipping on my espresso (just a single shot today) this morning. Got an early meeting so I better get my self moving.

Good morning my dear friends!!!! I have been very guilty of taking this for granted. I am attempting now to stop a bad habit and get back to my full amount of water each day. I had gained about 5 pounds and have lost them, but it is so easy to graze and gain. I have to stop and remember how miserable I was 136 pounds ago and how I did nothing. I hated life and myself. I never ever want to be that way again. God help me to remember where he brought me from. I love ya and sure hope to see y'all soon!!!!
