The surgery is not a miracle cure for poor eating habits. You will need to work with your center's team to learn the healthy eating that will made the surgery successful, not just in the short term but for life.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I love snow, but mostly look at it from the window these days. I hate it when it melts and turns black from the stuff they put on the roads. After Christmas, I am ready for spring again.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
It depends on the program you go with. Mine had a 10 week class, plus requirements around psych, nutrition and support group sessions. Others have been in programs they didn't have any of those type of requirements. Best to talk with your medical teams

Will I need to attend any pre-operative counseling or support groups?

Morning gang. Thanks for starting us, Jim. Nice, boring routine here. I love it. Food is on track. One more week til Christmas splurge.
This weekend is going to be cold. The low temp is supposed to be 6 degrees. My SIL is freaking out about her chickens.
QOTD: I like snow better than I used to. For many years I was responsible for shoveling four driveways. Being down to one is nice. And we're getting less snow these days too.

Good morning, everyone!
Today is my last train ride for 2024. I will go into the office tomorrow and Monday, but I'm driving both days: Monday because I will take DD to the airport after work and tomorrow because I have to get home early for a Christmas Party.
This is going to be a fairly regular day with calls and meetings, but I think that it will start winding down tomorrow. I expect Monday to be very quiet.
QOTD: Do you like snow? I love it at first, but I am ready for summer after a couple of weeks.
Breakfast: Protein Bar
Lunch: catered
Dinner: meatballs
Have a great day, all!

Good Afternoon! I hope you weren't hurt in the accident. You have some crazy drivers from what I hear (not you, of course). Somewhat of a busy day and then tomorrow and Friday are payroll days so they'll fly by.
QOTD: I think the secret of life but I might pick fountain of youth on a different day.

When I retired back in 2010 the company sent me to a career planning workshop. It was about four to six weeks of sessions. It was meant to explore options and things you might want to do when you now longer had the day to day routine of your job. Retirement is a big change and an opportunity to do things you might have put off or never tried.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning, Matt and everybody!
I'm back from swimming. They were doing a half price sale for the two holiday weeks, but I told the coach that I was just going to take them off. I want to sleep in on my break. I will still go to Crossfit, but just at more leisurely hours. Concur with Matt on the reasonable weather here in Chicago. Didn't have to scrape my windshield, just turned on the blower and the wipers and made it out of the driveway.
A couple of weeks ago, I got the first notice about my transition to retirement. It didn't really require any affirmative acts on my part, but it was kind of exciting nonetheless. One of the things that i am supposed to be thinking about is what I am going to do in my "next act." I'm not sure that I want to anything that even remotely resembles a job, so it may not be much of an act.
Happy Hour tonight with our new charcuterie. Yum! After this week, we are going to take a couple off for the holidays and then switch to Google Meet. Hopefully that works well.
QOTD: I think that I would want to have the fountain of youth. I worry that there is no secret or that I would learn and it would still be my time, so i couldn't use the knowledge.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: Jersy mike's
Dinner: meatballs, charcuterie later
have a great day, all!
