Good morning all.

Enjoyed a lovely long walk with four legged family member in the "English" drizzle; lots of birds and worms out and a few doggie friends to stop and sniff.

Still working out what my meal plans are for this weekend, as I will be out at Hot Docs tomorrow.

Today I enjoyed my weekend breakfast treat and planning the rest:

B: 1 PC blue menu everything bagel with 1 egg and 1 slice cheese; coffee

L: salad with 1/2 can tuna, smidge of dressing and nuts on top

S: sugar free yogurt

D: Chicken thigh; salad; edamame's (fun to eat in the pod)

S: protein shake; Halo little orange - love those little guys!

Hoping to bake some protein bars/breakfast bars and little egg white omelets in muffin tins for quick protein fix during the week.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Sunny

Good morning everyone one. Had a really nice meet up with a friend yesterday, early evening DH and I went for a ride with the top down. The weather was perfect.

Today I'm going swimming and then to the gym. I'll do some household drudgery for a while.

Accountability: On plan

QOTD: Have you ever practiced 4 sided breathing when you are about to lose it with someone? Sometimes it works, sometimes not. There is a particular city official that pushes my buttons.

The eats today at 4 years 9 months post-op are:

B. Buckets of decaf

L. Crab salad or rotisserie chicken salad (whichever I can find in Costco) in half of an avocado

D. Taco beef salad with salsa, sour cream, avocado

S. Maybe a mug of homemade chicken broth before bed.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I have not noticed that it is growing back but in all honesty it's kinda nice to have thinner hair for a change. I will enjoy it while it lasts as I'm sure it will start growing back in soon.

Thank you so much - my hair is thick too - and right now a little past my hips - and yes, it represents in many ways who I am - it is my one vanity. I know it is crucial to keep protein intake high (not just for general overall health after surgery, but also helps with hair loss)- I'm torn - may wait a bit and then once surgery is best, be vigilant ... if I feel I"m losing a lot of hair I'll take a deep breath and cut it! It's only hair, right? To this point (not sure about post-surgery) my hair has always grown very fast but I feel that might change - we'll see. Thank you and congratulations on your fantastic success with your surgery!
