Name: Angie
Type of Surgery & Date: RNY 1/21/09
Weight Day of Surgery: 227 lbs.
Weight Today: 183 lbs.
Total Pounds Lost: 44 lbs.
Biggest obstacle to overcome: I agree with you Karen, not drinking with meals!! And not feeling like I am losing fast or enough weight. I think I should be more realistic.
Any surgery regrets: NONE whatsoever!! This was the best decision I have ever made for myself!
What do you eat (typical day menu):
B- 1/2 SB cinnamon raisin snack bar
L- some type of salad with grilled chicken or tuna on one piece of toast.
D- something with grilled chicken..usually another salad with chicken.
S- 1/2 SB cinnamon raisin snack bar
Exercise schedule: I go to the gym usually about 6 days/week. My workout varies, but I do at LEAST 30 mins. on the tredmill using random intervals of running, walking, jogging, and inclines. If I don't do that, I take a cycle class. If not that, I do a step aerobics class. And I also do a body pump class which is a GREAT total body workout with weights. I also tried an Ab attack class today..it was a killer, but I loved it. Bottom line--- I do some kind of cardio and weights 6x's/wk. Can you tell I am addicted???

Weight Day of Surgery: 231
Weight Today: 197
Total Pounds Lost: 45 lbs was 242 last weighed in doc's office before pre op diet
Biggest obstacle to overcome: omg, chinese food! lol, puked it up twice now. i honestly still struggle w/ head hunger and finding new foods to eat-i'm easily bored and struggle w/ cooking ALL THE FRICKING time! soooo new to me, i was a fast-food-aholic.
Any surgery regrets: not a single ONE
What do you eat (typical day menu): i don't measure my food anymore, this is mainly b/c i don't know what oz level i'm supposed to be at. i move up to 6 oz meals at 6 mons, i do know that. i just eat til my pouch says no no, i'm good. but it's always this (pretty much, i guess i'm a picky eater) break-2 or 3 saltines and sharp cheddar cheese snack squares on each, a bit of fruit. lunch-either chili and a side salad or 1 tbs peanut butter and more saltines (2 or 3). dinner-chicken, mashed potatoes and broccoli. i'm supposed to drink 24 oz of milk/day and 8 oz of 100% fruit juice/day but in all honesty, i don't think i've done this in over a week. milk is to get protein in (again, never said how much i'm supposed to get in a day) so i usually just drink a ton of water and iced unsweet tea.
Exercise schedule:6 days a week, slipping to 5. i think i'm just slipping altogether. i feel like a failure if i don't do **** to the t. but when i work out i freaking WORK OUT, hardcore. it's fun while i'm doing it but then the hips start to hurt... LOVE you karen baby doll, you've been here for me since day 1 and i'm so excited to embark on this journey together!
