Good morning Gang! It's been a while I know - I will try to be more regular here. Hit the gym this morning for 15 kms on the recumbent bike. Was good to get back there as well.
Had a super busy weekend getting the trailer ready for camping next weekend (can't wait). We got a ton of things done around the house as well. This was my favorite project that we accomplished:
I had those frames forever (and I mean ever!) and we finally got some pictures printed at Costco and got them hung. That wall has been bare for so long and now it looks like the pictures just belong there.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. Does it mean that people with severe apnea get rejected for the surgery or they are subject to a different protocol and medications?
I am pretty sure that there are very few people with weight issues that do not have sleep apnea.
Anesthesia, especially general anesthesia, can be dangerous for people with obstructive sleep apnea. ... Sleep apnea also can make it more difficult to regain consciousness and take a breath after surgery. The condition makes anesthesia riskier because it slows down breathing and can make you more sensitive to its effects.

I apologize if this is not the right place to ask this question. I have read quite a few of your posts and noticed that someone mentioned that one of the prerequisites for the surgery is that you don't have a sleep apnea. Isn't sleep apnea one of the common side-effects of being overweight/obese? Generally, what is the purpose of the sleep apnea study in pre-surgery process?
I'm on week 2 of three weeks. I dont feel its got easier and i read somewhere that i wouldnt be hungry after the first few days. Im not starving, but im still hungary. I like that someone likened this to stages, this being the first stage. I will go with that for now, to help my mindset :)
I dont like the shakes that much, i dont find myself getting used to it and would love to chew someting for a change, but im half way there, and i really dont have any choice. I hope this is the hardest stage, but i fear it wont be
Lol hopefully the cutie isn't an adult when it's finished ;) it runs in my family. My grandma is still working ona sweater she started for me when I was a little kid.
Happy Friday! Work got in my way of posting yesterday... but I did stay on track with food and managed to do some cycling indoors since it was pouring out.
QOTD: I really enjoy artsy things and when I was in school and college did a lot of painting and drawing. Soon after, I had kids the was a single mom for 19 years so needless to say adult crafts were put to the side in exchange for finger painting and school projects. I taught myself to crochet when the kids were young and would enjoy starting that again now that I have more spare time. That blanket looks cozy Meg so I'm guessing once winter hits and lil nugget is sleeping you can likely get back to it.. always fun to be working on one in the cold weather so it keeps you warm at the same time. I'll be waiting to see the finished project wrapped around the cutie!

Good morning :)
This morning we are going to an event where you get to paint a flower pot and then this afternoon we are taking puppy 2 back to the vet. He is having some gastro issues, which turned out to be basically food poisoning of unknown origin. Today he's getting a checkup to see how things are going with treatment.
QOTD: do you like painting, drawing, or any other artsy crafts? I enjoy them, but I don't like things that take a long time since I often don't get around to finishing them. I crochet and I have at least two blankets on the go right now. When my aunt (she taught me to crochet) was sick she gave me about 90% of her wool collection. It had several balls of this peachy coloured wool. I don't know why but I decided to make a bobble blanket with it. It's definitely not my favourite colour so I don't know why I chose that colour. Anyways, I bobbled all of the wool in her collection and then had to buy the closest matching wool I could find -- thank you Mary Maxim lol. But it is only maybe 60% finished at this point. Between the puppies and the little nugget I figure it will be a decade or two before I fini**** lol.
