Good morning :)

I've already been up cleaning out our sunroom to get ready for next weekend :) we don't use it much do it tends to be where we put all the extra stuff. This morning we have a doctor's appointment but other than that it will probably be house stuff. I even weeded my back walkway last night -- we had a monster weed that was turning into a tree but I just kept trying to ignore it lol.

QOTD: inside or outside? Do you prefer doing house stuff inside or outside? I'm an inside person for sure. My skin is quite fair and I hate having to plan for being outside -- hat, sunscreen, etc.

Post-op four years and four months.

All water and vits.

You are doing fantastic!!

That's a great start!

My weight loss has started to slow - I know I shouldn't, but I find that I continue to compare with others and feel like I'm slower than most. I try and remind myself everyone is different, and I also feel like (based on my support group discussions) a lot of ppl don't eat enough protein. They are probably losing muscle. I have 90 grams of protein consistently every day. So I try to tell myself that I'm protecting as much of the good stuff as I can, and maybe that's why it's slow.

Because things slowed down, I've also now gotten more active and am seeing if that helps at all to keep me at a 10 pound monthly loss for at least another 3-4 months. My fingers and toes are crossed.

Good morning :)

Nothing planned again today. The little nugget woke up weirdly early -- I'm assuming something maybe outside woke her up. I was able to snuggle her back to sleep for a bit. Mostly household stuff today. Blech. Gotta get this place shipshape -- the little nugget's first birthday is coming up soon :)

I can't remember where I was the other day, but I also stuck to a chair... Darn all that post-op loose skin to peal off slowly lol.

I didn't start working out til this month at a gym but had been taking walks every night or using my indoor cycle at home since probably 4 months out of surgery. They tell you to hold off on weight training until at least 6 because there is a chance you are not completely healed and you don't want to mess up the incision or there would be big problems.

Hmmm I think I ate lettuce once I was a couple of months out but check the book they gave you and it should tell you when you can add certain veggies back into your menu.
