Topic: 3 Months later....
Hi I had not looked at this page before. Hello to all the December surgery people. I have lost 52 pounds since my surgery on Dec 12. I had also lost another 30 pounds before that. I feel so much better. Have bought a bicycle and am planning some bike rides when the weather gets better. For now I am going up and down the drive practicing, it has been a few centuries since I have ridden. Hope everyone is feeling better from their surgery and looking forward to spring. Tina

Hi everybody.
Sorry I have not been posting much lately. I am having trouble with my classes. I have to spend more time studying.
Anyway, As of this morning I have lost 80 pounds since Decemeber 15th. I am very happy with that.
I wrote an update email to everyone and I am going to put it in my profile in a few minutes if anyone would like to read it. I am also planning to update my after picture.
Hope you all are doing well.
Take care

1) Eaten chips? Yep, I have to keep them out of the house...they tend to get the better of me.,,,,especially ranch flavored pretzel peices, made my fiance take them to work, I couldn't quit eating them.
2) Tried soda? Yep, my surgeon allows us to have flat soda as long as we don't count it as water intake. I think I've maybe had one diet coke...I was never a big soda drinker
3) Tried something with sugar? Not over 5 grams!
4) Eaten Popcorn? Yeah, it's very good, but I have to just walk away from it...tooooo yummy!
5) Chewed Gum? No, scared of getting it stuck
6) Skipped a meal? too often, now I carry protien bars with me at all times
7) Not exercized for a whole week straight? I don't believe so...I go shopping with my sister at least twice a week, so I walk a lot. And I have a two year old...nuff said!
8) Eaten your carbs and no protein for a meal? for a meal, no....for a naughty snack.....yes
9) Had an alcoholic beverage? Also waiting for my honeymoon! (July16-23 in Las Vegas!!!!)
10) Eaten out at a restaurant? Constantly...my favorite is a Chinese buffet right by my house...they have crab legs on the weekend!

1) Eaten chips? ...Pita chips
2) Tried soda? ... Hell no!!
3) Tried something with sugar? ...Too scawed!!
4) Eaten Popcorn? ... I've been warned it's the "fruit of the devil" from the veteran posse so I stay away from it.
5) Chewed Gum? ...I am a professional.. hence, I swear do promise that I have never swallowed gum in my life's entirety thus far.. AMEN!! So yeah.. this is the one rule that I do break consistently based on mere reason and the fact that I have stock in Trident.
6) Skipped a meal? ...only in the beginning.. when sitting down for a 2oz. meal equipped with only a pouch the size of a pea.. was utter hell.
7) Not exercised for a whole week straight? ... I have a wedding in July.. I don't have the luxury to even entertain such a thought.. I'm just jealous of folks who can do this.
8) Eaten your carbs and no protein for a meal? ...If I don't eat protein at least every 3 hours.. my blood-sugar level drops and I become demonic.. so umm.. I can't do that..
9) Had an alcoholic beverage? ...Waiting till my honeymoon in August to try it.
10) Eaten out at a restaurant? ...Several times.. it's a real treat. But.. I'll only go to really good restaurants now because I can't chance that my few bites of dinner won't be worth the chew. For safety purposes.. I always get the same thing.. I turn a grilled chicken breast sandwich with fries into a grilled chicken filet toppled with mushrooms and swiss over steamed veggies. Highly recommend it!!

If these are the rules, then I guess I have broken them all...but I do not feel that doing these things makes me a failure. I am losing my weight and it is so much easier to eat less and not be starved all the time like when I have been on diets in the past. So here are my answers:
1) Eaten chips? A few tortilla chips at a time.
2) Tried soda? No.
3) Tried something with sugar? I use sugar in my coffee and I have had some desserts. I don't think I dump, but I am able to eat just a little and then stop. I don't really crave sweets that much.
4) Eaten Popcorn? Yes, but a lot less than before and always low fat.
5) Chewed Gum? No; I rarely did before surgery.
6) Skipped a meal? No. I like to eat too much!
7) Not exercised for a whole week straight? At the beginning I didn't exercise much. I still struggle every time it is time for my walk.
8) Eaten your carbs and no protein for a meal? I usually have something with protein at every meal even if just a cup of warm milk with espresso coffee at breakfast.
9) Had an alcoholic beverage? Not yet.
10) Eaten out at a restaurant? Yes. It was fun! But I couldn't eat much.One time I didn't order my own food and just took a few bites of my husband and daughter's foods and it was enough for me. We are saving money!
