Hey now..lol I am here. Sunday 1 mile with Leslie S. Monday working out with personal trainer...ouch...

Hadn't been on in a while, so I just saw this post tonight. Don't feel bad! Comparing RNY and lap band is an apple/orange thing. They're both fruit, but they taste different I had surgery on 12/27 and have lost somewhere between 20 and 25 pounds, but most of that was in the first 6 weeks. Now that I've graduated to regular food following the rules is much harder. I've felt like a real champion, but now I feel like I'm making the same mistakes I did pre-surgery. I've had two fills, but still know I can eat WAY too much. I have some protein shake recipes I liked. One is a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 4 oz of milk, a drop of vanilla and a handful of ice cubes. Blend until slushy. I also liked the chocolate protein power and a Tbsp of peanut butter with the milk and ice. One that was real refreshing was the vanilla protein powder, about 4 oz of orange juice (I found some low sugar once, but haven't found it again) and a splash of milk and blended with ice. Good luck and don't lose hope.

Anyone with 12/10/07 surgery date? Just wondering how you are doing? I have lost 57 lbs and about 4 sizes. I still get tired from time to time like today I am exhausted but over all I am doing good. I still have a hard time with some foods like lettuce and chicken, which I crave and cant seem to stomach. I am exercising about 4 times a week for an hour total. How about anyone else with this date.

Well I have noticed that since I have had surgery I am always cold!!!! I mean really cold!!!!!! I know with rapid weight loss this is a side effect but I have to have layers on now to go to bed and layers on to go to work and I have a physical job in which I used to sweat so bad it isn't funny. I cant even sit down and watch tv without my electric blanket anymore, some times I even have to take a hot shower to warm up, when will this stop.

so here we go for another week of logging in our workouts!. hope to see Wendy and Christine and a whole bunch more loggin in!...... i did ehhhh ok last week, not crazy workouts but hey it's something right? so today sunday 3/2 brisk ch ch chilly walk for 51 minutes what did you do? see ya next time!
