My weight is highest it has been Post Op. I am frustrated as I want to get down about 20 lbs but not having much luck. I NEED to do following EVEN with Thanksgiving this week:

Eat Mindfully

Exercise Regularly

Drink Water Frequently

Take Vitamins as necessary

Food-F

Water-D

Vitamins-A

Exercise-C

Have a happy healthy week

Last week: 190.2

This week: 189.6

Little bit helps. We did Thanksgiving last night at my mother's. May have eaten too much too close to bedtime. Indigestion and gas big time this morning.

Mississippi State rallied to beat Arkansas. Next stop, and last stop pending a bowl game invite, will be Starkville for the Egg Bowl with Ol' Miss. Normally rooting for A&M is not permissible but with them playing Ol' Miss last night it was encouraged. LSU took care of Tennessee. Auburn, Florida and Georgia all winners. Alabama in a "chump" game against Mercer slaughtered them, 56-0. In six man football, if you are not familiar with that version, if at halftime one side is 45 points ahead of the other the ball game ends. If not at half as soon as it happens in 3rd or 4th quarters. Game would have been over in 3rd quarter.

If you are traveling this week - PACK YOUR PATIENCE!! Especially at the airports. Lots of folks traveling this week by plane or ground that normally don't travel so the whole process freaks them out!! Can always tell on the Interstate who does not drive on open highway that often.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I was 278 this morning, so down a pound since last week. I have been slowing down quite a bit. Truth be told, outside my flap, there ain't much left to lose unless I start giving up muscle mass. I am a little more than 13 months out from surgery, and down 204 lbs from the start.

I do not concern myself with what I will weigh on any given day. I have enough stress in my life that I don't need to stress about that as well. We all have stress. Different things for different people, but the stress is always there. I do weigh myself every day at the same time.

My weight fluctuates up and down regularly. I will hit a new low, and then climb the following days or week as much as four pounds. Then it comes off again, and I hit another new low. It is taking longer and longer for that all to happen, but my surgeon told me to expect that. In the month and a week since I saw him for my one year check up, I've dropped 7 lbs.

I am going to treat Thanksgiving as I do all the rest of my meals. I will focus on turkey, add a little tiny bit of carbs on the side, measure everything, and be content without making myself uncomfortable. At the end of the day we will send most of the bad carb food home with relatives and get back to our strict regimen the following day.

Well, almost. We have a tradition with our four young grandsons. They expect Papaw to produce strudel bites for breakfast when they are here. I used to eat them four or six at a time. I will eat one with them, and THEN it is back to the salt mine. Some will say this is real bad, but it has worked well for me so far, and I have had no desire to eat to excess, regardless of whether it is good food or bad. I am enjoying my success too much for that.

I am not sure we will be. I am not a guy though. Hee hee

Mine surgery Wednesday aswell. Where and when is yours?

You got this!

You are like me...One week I lost 10 pounds. People were wondering how I did it and was it healthy? All I did was eat right, get some exercise, drink my water and follow the doctor's orders (no sugar, few simple carbs)...
