Hi Lori, I did 3 1/2 miles on my gazelle. I didn't feel like it but I had to because we went to the movies and I had movie popcorn. Sounds like you had another great work-out. Way to go!!! Have a great weekend. Diana

Diana, I love movie popcorn too! And like you, if I eat it, I make myself exercise! Anyway, we are trying! Lori

Good Morning Denise, Glad to see you back! You'll get rid of those 7 pounds in no time, don't worry, just be persistent. You can do it . My weekend was good, I was active, did a lot of walking and moving. But I also indulged when we went to the basketball game yesterday. I don't think I did tremendously bad, but I was enjoying myself and I never ate any one thing by myself. It was shared between 4 people who could all eat more than me. But I had pizza, nachos, fries, philly cheesesteak and cheesecake and a drink called Freaky Deaky (it was good). Weekends are always hard. The scale read 182, so I am still below 183, I don't think I've seen that number in a week, maybe more. I'm talking like its 5 pounds, but a pound is a pound and its gone and I'm not looking for it. This week I am back to my regular weekly menu. Breakfast: Protein Smoothie Lunch: Taco Salad Dinner: Steak and Salad Snacks Peaches w/ splenda and cinnamon (tastes like a peach pie) Philly Swirl Have a great week. Teah

Hi! I got my Bariatric handbooks yesterday and started my pre-op exercise program - 20 minutes cardio , 14 strength building exercises, and 16 streching exercises. After the 20 minute walk, I played frizbee with my girls for 10 minutes, but the whole workout took 1 1/2 hours. I am a tired puppy tonight! Shellie

Shellie, You probably are tired! it is going to be so worth it though. Keep up the great work! Lori

Is it too late for me to get a secret pal? Karen S.

Hi Cindy! I had the mjavascript:setMainIcon('smile',15,15)ost awful gas- so bad in fact, my husband asked my surgeon about it. I take Devrom- available online without a prescription at devrom.com. It will help with amount and odor of intestinal gas. The way it was explained to me was that any time the intestines are opened bacteria finds a way in. This bacteria produces the gasses. People who have had colostomies can suffer like us. The Devrom helps with the gas and odor- but the bloating sounds like a bigger problem. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck! Jeniffer
