Another Week, Another 2 Pounds

Hi Everyone: Its been 28 weeks since my surgery and to say the least I am more than satisified with my progress. I lost another 2 pounds this week making my total loss 158 pounds. I now weigh 215 which is 10 pounds below my high school playing weight and is my lowest weight since 1974. I continue to workout 3 times a week lifting weights and doing cardio. Before anyone asks, here are the answers to some questions: 1) Yes I am eating. I just make sure that everything I eat is allowing me to get in my protein. I get in the area of 80-100 grams daily. 2) Yes I'm drinking plenty of water. At least 96 oz. a day. 3) I take my vitamins twice daily. My main goal now is to continue what I'm doing and enjoying my new life. A tip to all. Focus on the positive aspects of life and look forward to how your life will improve as a result of WLS. If you look for things to go wrong, they will. If you look for things to go right, beleive me they will. Till next time, Jesse 373/215/-158

I don't nearly get in enough protein but I do get in (usually) 80 oz of fluid a day. My vitamiins... well, let's just say I'm back on track with that and the calcium horse pills... bleh. I mean... the lovely pills. postive attitude, right? Have a good one!! -Sheri
