What's on your Thursday Menu?

Wheeeee, today is my Friday after all!!!! I completely forgot that I had an RMV appointment tomorrow for the license that has been expired for 2 months. MA is still doing appointment-only for anything in person and it has been impossible to find an appointment. I made this over a month ago and I'll have to travel about 2 hours to get there. Isn't that crazy for something that is required?? But I will be happy to have my Driver's License again!

Thanks for your supportive words yesterday. I am really amazed at how petty human beings can be. I'm also amazed at how much I don't care. I mean, I care, of course, but I think that in my 30s I would have been so upset about it, but I just literally don't have any ***** left for people who are behaving badly for petty and stupid reasons.

QOTD: Do you wear pajamas out of the house? Ahhh, I can't do it. I want to be one of those people who wears PJ bottoms to the grocery store but I can hear my mother screaming in my ear and I don't think I could ever do it... I can barely get myself out to the store in yoga pants.

I am happy(-ish) to report that I have officially lost 6lbs in the last few months. The (-ish) is because, A.) It sure doesn't come off as quick and easy as it used to, post-op! and B.) I still have a ways to go before I feel like I am back to myself. But nonetheless, I am happy to report that I am heading in the right direction, again.

I don't have any breaks between 9:30 - 2:30, and I'm not sure how eating is going to work, exactly? Planning to eat breakfast closer to 9 so I am not hungry later and just have snacks that I can eat with one hand while driving home.

B: Protein Coffee

S: Costco Egg Bite

Drive Home/Lunch/Dinner: Chomps Meat Stick & Whisps & Apple

Good Morning!

Today marks my one year surgiversary! How did we get here? Wow! Time flies. I've reached my goals & I feel pretty good about it. Maintaining is a lot harder then it would sound (I am still learning) but I have zero regrets! Cheers to many more years! When did you start reintroducing alcohol? I wasn't a huge drinker pre op.. but with the holidays coming up I'd really enjoy a half a glass of wine with my friends.. I know my program discourages any kind of alcohol consumption (even though the SW told me if I was gonna drink, go slow and be with people I trust)

QOTD: PJs belong at home only. It is my opinion that it is disgusting to wear your Panama's outside of the house for errands.

M1: fairlife latte, egg whites, salsa & cheddar

m2: yogurt, honey, blueberries, granola

m3: left over philly stuffed peppers w a babybel

m4: English muffin and PB

m5: left over turkey chilli

I did it after I hit goal. I'm glad you are aware of how much harder alcohol hits post WLS, it is no joke at all. Having said that, I do still enjoy an adult beverage.

Happy surgiversary!!

Happy one year anniversary! You have done so well.

Congratulations, you've done fantastic. One year for me.

Happy anniversary! You seem to be doing extremely well!

Happy surgiversary.

Happy One Year and job well done!! I waited about 8 months. Had permission from my surgeon AND was very careful to be with safe people at home when I tried it. In the new days, I would only pour like 2 ounces of wine, and that would last me all night while I sipped. I would say that I am one of the lucky ones and don't have an exaggerated response to alcohol, and I truly enjoy a glass of wine or an Old Fashioned, but truthfully, if I had a bad reaction like when I ate that damn butter cake, maybe I would not drink quite so many calories. So it's a double edged sword for me. One more life balance thing for me to understand and control.

Cheers!!!

Happy Surgiversary! Regarding alcohol, I didn't drink much pre-surgery but haven't had even a sip since.

I waited 2 years but they are correct be very careful. However I love being a cheap drunk. If you want a can of something I love the new Alcoholic Arnold Palmers they have no carbonation so I can fit in with the cool kids.
