Topic: RE: Surgery tomorrow

Thank you all for the encouragement!  I'm back... and I'm alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   That's all that counts!
My surgeon is very pleased with my progress. I'm still not feeling good... in A LOT of pain, and the periods that I have to sit up, I feel very drowsy.  I'll update more on my profile in a couple of days when I feel stonger.
Thanks again for all the good wishes!

Topic: Commit to action.

Commit to action. 

 

You've probably heard the phrase "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today." Yes, it's a cliché, but it rings exceptionally true for WLS patients.  

It's frighteningly easy to put your health on the back burner. Maybe you get so busy during the day that you think nothing of skipping meals or forgetting to drink your water.  Of course, one day won't matter in the long run, but by putting things off until "tomorrow" you're really telling yourself that you're not worth the time and effort it would take to care for your health. Because the funny thing about waiting for tomorrow is&we put the tasks off until tomorrow, again. 

Action for the day: If you've been letting other things get in the way of your WLS lifestyle, take action TODAY to get back on track. Sign up for an exercise class, create a supplement regimen, or start keeping a journal of what you eat.

Topic: 1st milestone reached this year.
I am finally on my way everyone.  I have not gained any more weight since March and reconnecting here on OH.com.  I am down 16 pounds and that brings me back to my January 2010 weight.  So  I have reached one milestone already this year.  I have lost the 16 pounds I gained in 2010.  I am determined to make 2010 a year I am not going to gain.  The last 3 years my weight has been sliding up and I promise you and myself that 2010 will not be a gain year for me.

Topic: What are your goals this week?
My goal this week is to continue to exercise 5 or more days and 3 of those days at the gym. Continue to stay within calorie range most days with protein 1st being a focus.  What are your goals this week?

Topic: RE: Placebo Surgery?
Six weeks.  Then, you should really be able to feel your restriction.  I am almost (!!!!) at my one-year surgiversary, and only now can I chug several swallows.  And while it's wonderful to be able to do it, yesterday - after I had had a long walk and was a little dehydrated- I took a longish chug and  I had a woozy, yucky feeling that lasted 5-10 minutes.  I had to sit down and wait it out.  It's a different life, all right.

Topic: Back on Track

Okay... It is Monday... and I have my stuff together.  WooHoo!!! Last week was a doozie.

This is my plan to help with my weight gain:

1.  I have been buying my food each day when I get hungry.  Starting this week... I am going to BRING my lunch and PLAN my dinner.  Eating junk is NO LONGER an option for me.  If I buy my food in advance, I will be able to buy healthier food.  When I wait until I am hungry... I will get junk.

2.  I am cleaning this week... so I will be getting my excersice that way.  I am making a workout PLAN/BACK UP PLAN and sticking to it.  Today and tomorrow, I will be doing some deep home cleaning... Starting Wed, I am back to the gym.  Exercise will help me both physically and mentally.

NO MORE EXCUSES...  Failure is no longer an option.  I will also start posting my SUCCESS on the accountability post on TMB.

Thanks everyone for your support.  Last week was a bad week, but this one is going to be better.
