I’ve lost 8 lbs in the past week! I highly recommend the protein shakes blended with sugar free pudding. You only need about 2 tablespoons. I also keep a cucumber salad handy at all times. Mix with light mayo or light miracle whip, Greek yogurt, purple onion and vinegar. I keep prepped chicken handy to add to it. Sometimes tuna.

I haven’t posted for awhile, as I had a lot of things going on. I was approved for surgery and then my cardiologist wanted to wait and see how I was doing, which I am grateful for because safety first. I was approved for surgery before but then covid hit and elective surgeries were on hold. Now finally, my cardiologist has cleared me for surgery. I’m super excited! Never give up. It’s been a 4 year process for me.

My psychologist evaluation for surgery was moved up from December to October 16! Very exciting!!!

09/22/2023

So I had to take a break for awhile and regroup on how I was going to handle this weight loss. I went to the doctor sept 26th and went back today 10lbs later! Really I have to thank a lot of influencers on social media. I’ve learned a whole new way of eating. I’m being sent to the psychologist for an evaluation for approval for weight loss surgery and all blood work has been ordered. I go back next month and if I’m still trending down I get to meet the doctor!

Everything bagel made with 2 ingredients. Greek yogurt and almond flour. It broke because I didn’t have parchment paper but it was delicious and its keto!

It’s been a rough couple of weeks being sick. As anyone with diabetes knows, when you are sick blood sugar becomes a huge battle. Actually saw numbers up to 354. I’m now getting back under control and it seems like hydration plays a huge part. Looking to get a crock pot. I don’t know why I’m so behind the times but it will definitely make food prep a lot easier. I like to stick to different kinds of protein bowls.

I have pneumonia so I’m looking for a soup that’s low in sodium and high protein. Anyone have suggestions. I Get shortness of breath quick so not easy to cook homemade. I want to stay on track

After reversing my liver disease and getting my A1C in normal range, I have been reentered into the bariatric process with an appointment on Aug 31! Keep fighting and pushing!!!

07/26/2023

I reversed my fatty liver disease! That is huge. These things are just as important as the weight loss 🥳🥳🥳🥳

07/25/2023

Went to the dr today and found out I was still a prime candidate for bariatric surgery and that my cardiologist and primary was actually pushing for it. Now just waiting on a call to see if my insurance wants any more appointments or if I’m good to go. It’s been 3 years of work and it’s paying off

07/25/2023

I’m have a doctors appt today and I am looking forward to discussing options about pain relief. It’s so important to get more mobile!!

07/25/2023

I’ve still been working on my weight loss but honestly I had to take a mental health break from posting and reading about weight loss. I was getting discouraged with the increasing pain in my leg and back. I can be a control freak and sometimes when things are out of my control I can feel down! I need to get back to logging and being accountable

I’d have to take the grapes out, but this is a must try

I was sick for a couple of days, not wanting to eat etc and I saw some signs of blood sugar issues but was able to keep it at bay with water water water!! Starting with protein drinks today with some berries. Just proves that eating is just as important as not eating!! I hope everyone has a great and healthy day!!! ❤️❤️❤️
