2012 - I had Vertical Sleeve Gastric Surgery in October 2012, and this is my journey to push the fat girl aside and start living life without fear of lawn chairs, the middle seat, clothing shops and high heels. Among other things.

2017 - I'm preop for the Duodenal Switch procedure for my sleeve to help me get to goal weight....and to fix another hiatal hernia.

Planning Luches & stuffs

The Husband got called to the office last night for an hour (IT guys.. never stop working), so I had some evening time alone in the kitchen getting my prep-on for this week!

I do so much better when I know what I can eat, instead of trying to make decisions when I'm hungry, or h-angry, or bored...

So I tracked my day (todays) calories out on the MFP ap last night and prepped lunches for the week.



I love these ziplock lunch boxes! They do make my life so much easier.  I usually start eating lunch at 11:30 and finish the cheese stick and grapes (or celery) as a snack later on 1pm. 

 
This is one of my favorite lunch conbo's. Hummus, rice crackers, cucmber & carrots. Getting my veg & fiber in.

Weigh in this morning: 232.8   I'm really enjoying the low 230's.  Its still hard for me to believe it.  But I'm there!!

Dr's appointment today.  There is a small portion of my incision that has not healed from my gallbladder surgery. Yes... that is almost 4 weeks ago now.  So I'm not very pleased.  The dr. was on vacation last week, so I get it a good try with cleaning, washing, anti-bacterial stuff and band aids... but its still weepy. 

Ug.   So that will have to get corrected today.  I'm no bikini model, but I don't want a giant scar bubble... or to have an open wound for 4 weeks.  *grumble grumble*.

    Oh my gosh, I've been there with feeling hangry! I have to plan ahead too otherwise I make decisions in the moment I wouldn't normally. I'm so happy for you that you're in your now 230's ... that must feel amazing. Question: where did you get those little lunch boxes? Either they don't sell them where I live or I'm just not paying much attention.

    Those ziplock lunch boxes are adorable! Do they come with a lid too? I'm with Kathy, I've never seen them on a store shelf. You are doing great with the planning, and you are like me, I tend to eat some of the same things and I usually don't get too bored with it. :)

      Yep! Lids too! they are great. I do have a very high tolerance for eating the same thing over and over.
      I can also listen to one song on my ipod for like... a week straight. Makes the husband CRAZY!! hahah

    More research: hey come in packs of 2, and are called "divided rectangles. I get them at Kroger, but they are available at Walmart as well :
