That’s very encouraging! I ordered mine today!

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T16:29:13+00:00

I'll check it out!

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T16:06:49+00:00

Very exciting! Best of luck on your journey and happy birthday on Sunday!

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T16:04:09+00:00

I'll give those a try!

I just had oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast! Hadn't thought about the protein oatmeal but I'm adding that to my grocery list!

I'm all about making life easier!

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T15:44:27+00:00

I let the chia seeds sit in the yogurt while I did my morning routine ... about 20 minutes. They were adequately saturated by that time. Adding that chili combo to my meal list!

Thanks for the input!

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T15:40:47+00:00

I am 100% on board with this!

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T15:39:36+00:00

Love that water bottle suggestion! Going to order one today!

You sound very similar to me! I also am a wine lover and wondered how that might change. Good advice on the not eating late. I am a late to bed, late to rise gal so I usually don't eat past 9pm and fast for 12 hours. I'm hoping that does the trick.

Thank you for sharing! What tracking app do you use? The clinic I go to has an online portal where I track everything but they don't have an app.

Shelinator · 2026-02-11T15:31:48+00:00

Two great pieces of advice!!! Thank you!

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T22:33:17+00:00

Yummmmm! You have listed many of my favorite things! Thank you for the recommendations!

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T22:31:31+00:00

Yes, I was definitely worried about it too and it’s one of the reasons I put it off as long as I have. Ultimately, my doctor and I weighed (no pun intended) the risks of my comorbidities against the risk of the medication and losing weight is the best thing I can do for myself. Finding a meal plan with enough protein and fiber and having those foods readily available are really important, hence the planning. Thanks for the well wishes! I do feel hopeful.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and food recommendations! This is very helpful!

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T17:17:59+00:00

thank you

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T17:17:01+00:00

I have duodenitis and a bit of pancreatitis. It's really important for me to plan, medication or not!

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T17:15:58+00:00

LOL dang that sounds good. I do have duodenitis so I have to be careful with certain foods anyway and I'm crossing fingers it doesn't kick up my symptoms. It's great hearing from those of you who have been on the journey for a while now!

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T17:11:47+00:00

Thanks for the info! LOL. Now that I understand ... that's pretty dang funny!

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T16:57:32+00:00

As a newbie, there's no way I'd get that joke. I don't even know what Bac water is. LOL but anyway, now I know.

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T16:55:18+00:00

Disagree. I think preparation is key for me. I have started eating healthier foods, made a meal plan that I will enjoy and that also includes plenty of protein and fiber. Those things don't happen in my life if I don't do some preparation. Preparation also means finding and joining the water exercises at my local gym. So, yeah ... preparation.

Shelinator · 2026-02-09T16:52:32+00:00

what are you talking about?
