i was told that you need 30 minutes minimum a day of exercise. try walking your dog longer or walking more quickly without your dog. i use an elliptical machine every day for about an hour. (30 minutes 2x a day) and i count how long i walk my dog also as exercise. i walk him about an hour a day total..split up throughout the day of course. just gradually add in some more walking or a little workout and it'll help...trust me!! i think that was the ticket for me getting to my goal in a year. i exercise every day....well almost every day.

I stop drinking 30 minutes before I eat and wait at least an hour after I eat before I drink anything. Try really hard to wait! Drinking will wash food right thru your pouch and you'll get hungry sooner.

i never drink for at least an hour after i eat and it's usually closer to 2 hours. i think the reason you're supposed to wait is so the food doesn't get washed out too quickly. you need to catch yourself before you drink unless you just take a sip or two to wash something down.

Had surgery on 2/23/06 down 97---22 left til I meet surgeons goal. These last pounds seem to be the hardest. I bet if I excersized it would make a difference! Only excersize I get is walking the dogs. I am sure that is not enough.

I was wondering how many of you wait at least a half an hour to drink anything after you have eaten. I notice lately that I am extremely thirsty right after I am done eating and I catch myself drinking right after I've eaten. I don't think that is good for the pouch. Please let me know what you think.
Topic: RE: NO where near my goal
Hi Deb,
I've been keeping notes all everything I eat on fitday so that does help. For the next 2 weeks I've been place on the atkin's diet. And I find it not so easy to do. I blew it yesturday. But I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I didn't hink protien first of the day. So I'm going to do that and I'm going to have up my water in take again. I see that I've been lacking with that. As for working out, I need to step it up by another day. So far I only work out 2 a week.
I'm not giving up, I can't I went threw a sugery so I won't quit on myself. It just gets hard for me to see other people ready for their body lifts and already reach their goals and they are out before 6 months and I'm still not out of the 200's yet. I'm very happy for them, I just want to be there with them. 
God Bless you and Thank you for you kind words.
Maria

Maria, Please don't give up on your weight loss. Have you tracked everything you eat, to make sure it is protien first and plenty of water. Take your charts to you nutrisionist and maybe she can help. Remember muscle does weigh more than fat. You can still loose weight - good luck and God bless...P.S. Pills don't work because if they did we all wouldn't have had this surgery.

That's more or less what I was thinking is going to happen when I see my pcp later this week. Thanks for the info.

Topic: RE: Liver Function Tests
i'm going through this right now...and my pcp sent me to a gastroenterologist today as a matter of fact. he is running more blood tests and is having a liver biopsy done on me on march 29th. he said that's the best way to find out what's wrong. if i is just fatty liver than it can be reversed. anything else may not be able to be fixed as easily if at all. he basically told me we don't have time to waste on this. so we're moving ahead as quickly as possible. he did say that it all probability it's just fatty liver but we need to make sure.
