April Check-in
Name: Erin Akey
Type of Surgery & Date: mini-open RNY Jan.14, 2009
Weight Day of Surgery: 323
Weight Today: 266
Total Pounds Lost: 57
Biggest obstacle to overcome: So far, i have not really had any problems. I am really fortunate. My one issue has been a few times where I didn't chew my food and ate too fast and it got stuck. Once I learned to CHEW CHEW CHEW, all has been well.
Any surgery regrets: That i didn't do it sooner!
What do you eat (typical day menu): Very varied menu. I do make sure protien is at least 40% of my diet and i have a packet of the Live Active Crystal Light at least once a day with my water to help keep me regular. I stay away totally from anything fried, pasta, white flour, and sugar. I eat a lot of beef, pork, fish and green veggies and fruit. i eat about 1000-1100 calories per day.
Exercise schedule: i work out at the gym at least five times a week with an hour of cardio. Twice a week i meet with a personal trainer for strengh training and what I call TORTURE. She is amazing and after six weeks with her I have lost a total of 26 inches.
All in all I feel like this is the best thing I have ever done for both myself and my family.

WOW! I don't get it. First, let me say, I am very happy for all of you. WAY TO GO. I just can't figure out why I feel so inadequate. I mean, I am up there w/ you all, but I feel like what i've been doing isn't good enough. So here we go:
Name: Bobbi
Type: RNY
Date: jan. 5
weight day of: 284
current: 233
total lost: 51
Biggest obstacle: fear of failure.
Regrets: none. not one. nada. zilch. Best choice I've made in years.
Daily menu: typically B: 8oz protein shake
L: 1/2 cup of some soft protein
snack: 8oz. veg. juice and handful of all bran crackers.
S. 2-3 oz. chicken, turkey, pork, lean cut of steak.... and 1/4 c. veggies
Bedtime: some lean protein/or a protein bar.
WATER ONLY. ABOUT 80-100 oz. a day.
I barely eat any carbs at all.
EXERCISE: one hour a day for five days a week. Walk away the Pounds: the 3 mile walk plus 16 minutes of butt kicking resistance training. If it's nice out in the evening, My family and I take a walk.
And yet, I still compare myself to others. Why do some lose so much with not working out? While others, like me seem to lose slowly and steadily? I feel tremendous guilt with each meal I eat. Why? I just don't know.
