Tuesday Question of the day

Dont know how well this will work but gonna try something I think will be fun if you ALL play along.... hee hee hee


Ok so here is the rules!!!!  I am going to post a Question (obcisouly) the first person to read and reply is to answer the question and then leave a question for the next person.  THe next person then answers that question and then leaves a question...

The questions can be what ever you would like to ask....  Have fun with it.


Since there isnt a question up I will wait til later and do it again so that I am in the mix too...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Question......  What stage are you pre/post op (how many weeks out etc)? And what is the hardest part for you in the stage that you are in?

 I am 3 days shy of 4 months post-op.  The hardest part at this point is getting the vitamins in and doing my exercise.  None of it is "hard".  I just forget the vitamins and the exercise....well, guess I'm still a little lazy but working on it!

Question:  Is there anything about the whole WLS process that you would change or do differently and if so; what?

If there were some way to start a fund for those with no insurance and questionable credit, I would want to do that.  My heart breaks when I read of people who can find no way to get something that has changed my life so dramatically. 


What has been the biggest WOW moment for you on your journey?

My biggest WOW moment is how fast my pants sizes have changed.  It was immediate and still amazes me!

What is your favorite post-surgery weight loss friendly meal?

My favorite post WLS friendly meal has been Grilled Shrimp and veggies or Grilled Chicken and veggies.

Question:  Post-ops: How hard has it been to motivate yourself to exercise? Pre-ops: Have you thought of an exercise regimen for your post-op lifestyle?

I still find myself dealing with lazy brain.  I always enjoy the exercise once I get my butt up and moving.  It is easier to be motivated now than before simply because my body is working better.  I do water aerobics 2 days a week, walk with my lovely walking buddies one day a week, and do my own yard work another day of the week.  I guess when the yard goes dormant I will have to go back to the gym and do some weights and cardio.

Question:  What has been the biggest surprise to you on this journey?  It can be a good surprise or a bad one but I hope it is good.  (For me it was weighing what I did when I started college 32 years ago! I never believed it was possible.)

The biggest surprise was how deeply I relied on food emotionally.  I truly had no idea.  It was at first a bad surprise, but I dealt with it and moved on.

 

Question: Do you ever miss taking a BIG bite of something?

yes, I am often very angry with myself because I want to eat more and I physically can't. I have not yet barfed up anything so maybe I should just take that big ole bite and barf so I will appreciate the little bites that I can take.

Question: What has been the biggest change in your personal relationships, good or bad?

Question: What has been the biggest change in your personal relationships, good or bad?

Most for the good as far as not meeting a stranger and being more active and not too shy to strike up a conversation....  My husband is a bit insecure now, he is overweight and no matter what I say or do now he thinks that his weight will be an issue for me. SO it is a constant struggle now to convience him I love him for who he is and being so supportive to me.  With the help of the Lord we will get through this though.

Next Question..... if you are post, Was you a middle of the night snacker?  And are you now? If you are a pre-op, do you find yourself getting up at night to snack?
