- 50!That's how many pounds I've lost.YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Hi all, I hurt my left bicep during this morning's workout and now I can't raise my left arm. I'm not home right now, so I asked if anyone in our group had some Tylenol. My friend handed me two pink capsules, which I immediately swallowed. Only...
- ...a good workout DVD? I can already tell I'm not exercising enough. I do walk, but I HATE walking just for the sake of walking. I do have a dog and I walk her, but she likes to stop every thirty seconds and sniff the ground or pee on something. ...
- Hi all,My Cuisinart blender broke last week after over twenty years of use. I can't find anyone who will fix it, so now I have to spring for a new blender. I REALLY miss my protein shakes!!!Any thoughts as to which one I should get?
- Hi all,So after surgery we're not supposed to have wine and we're to stay away from bread. I'm doing just fine with both of those--but when I went to church last weekend I was served Communion. I was given a 1/2" square cube of bread and a tiny...
- Unexpected side effects of my weight loss so far:1--When conducting a group of singers last week, that swish-swish I felt under my arms was not a loose thread from my short-sleeve shirt, as I'd thought. It was my arms themselves, thanks to the...
- Well, not THAT Hunger Games!I'm thirty days post-op now. The time has just flown by, the weight is flying off of me (roughly 40-42 lbs down) and my clothes are starting to feel big, all of which is wonderful. My problem is I'm starting to feel...
- I don't mean sweet like sugar, believe me!Yesterday was my first day back to work after surgery. I'm a piano teacher, so my students and their parents hadn't seen me since December 8th, and my surgery was December 11th.Tuesdays are my heavy...
- Well, it finally happened. I ate something that used to agree with me, but since my procedure it didn't. Ugh! Today's my birthday so I took myself out to breakfast and had a small, crustless spinach and white cheddar quiche. Then I went to a...
- Hi all, I'm nineteen days post-op and am starting to have buyer's remorse. Please tell me this is normal and will pass, because it's driving me nuts!I can't get my blood sugar levels under control, no matter how much exercise I do, or water I...
- I'm sixteen days into my new normal (RNY on 12/11) and am still trying to find my bearings. Here's what I've learned so far:1--The scale is not a daily requirement, it is a weekly check-in. I decided that Fridays would be my Scale Day. As of last...
- ...Santa brought me a Vitamix!!!Anyone have any good smoothie or soup recipes I could make with it? I tried a protein shake in it this afternoon but was surprisingly disappointed in its texture. I guess I got spoiled after making Bariatric...
- Hi all,Merry Christmas to everyone! I celebrated by starting stage 3 foods today but didn't get much chance to actually do that. For breakfast I added a half cup of cottage cheese and it tasted like heaven because I could CHEW it. I also had a...
- Hi all,Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and whatever other holiday I missed! I had my RNY on the 11th and already feel like a whole new person. My energy level has shot up through the roof, which makes it really difficult to sit and rest, but I am...
- Hi everyone,Thank you for your good wishes and support. My doctor seemed more surprised by my "huge liver" (in his words) than my huge butt. Oh well. Anyway, no complications, am able to keep everything down so far, and am back home as of a half...
