Possible?

Do you think it would be possible that us 9 month post ops came up with a way to motivate each other and find a way to post daily that we drank are alloted amount of water, ate right, excersiced, took our vitamins ect... It makes it easier when your accountable. WE ALL NEED to get off our BEHINDS (less of them thought) and work what the good lord gave us as a gift of another chance.....!!!! anyone with me? Also, I went to the mall which i loathed before and went into the store RAVE and walked out with TWO shirts, NOT one but TWO and they fit good and its unreal....!! I cant wait to ck the other stores out at the mall when i get more money and free time..... Hows everyones eating? Mine needs to get in ck, do you guys keep a food diary? Give me some ideas to keep my hiney on track.......! Betty

Hey Betty, I try to live by these rules my Dr gave me: 1. Eat Protein first at all meals 2. Eat three meals per day at the same time of the day. 3. Drink at least 64 ozs. of Water a day. 4. Exercise at least 30 minutes per day. 5. Remember your Vitamins! 6. Always remember: This is your last chance to stay healthy!! I try to figure out why I over eat when I do. What made me want to eat? Depressed? Bored? Worried? I try to listen to what my mind it telling me and change that dialog. "Eat because you are watching tv". "Eat because others at the table are". "You'll probably gain it back anyway". Hope these tips help! C-Ya! Wanda -106

I love rave.I try to update my diet every few days online journal.I am under goal but still watch myself.

Hey Betty! That sounds a bit like me! On again off again. I do a pretty good job of eating protein & fresh fruits and veggies. I need more water though. I drink quite a bit all day, but it isn't always water. I got the new packets of crystal light to take to work with me. That way when I want one, I'll have it. Exercise is another story. I do all the good stuff, park away from the store, work out muscles when I'm just sitting or at my desk. I do a lot of stretching each day - but aerobic, sweaty exercise is a HUGE chore for me. I have to kick myself and then kick myself again to get it done. I have to say that I don't make it more than I make it. So I don't know what the answer is... When you find it - please let me know!!

Hi Betty, I still can't get used to going up to a 'regular' rack (without X's in them) and looking at stuff that I can actually wear. For the first time in my life I enjoy shopping and go now just to look and not because I HAVE to find SOMETHING to wear for whatever event I am dreading going to because I will feel so fat and out of place. NO MORE YEAH I find that fitday.com log of foods eaten and activities works for me, also tracks weight. But the way they make you enter the food is a bit tedious. But it is cool to look back 2, 3 or more months and see the change in weight and activities. The on line version is free, I haven't tried the offline (pay) program yet. Sarah
