News from the nutritionist

Well, I went to see a nutritionist today for the first time since I was going through all the hoops to be approved for surgery. Luckily I found a really great lady who is very easy going and nice. I found out first of all that I am down to 350....that's a loss of 138 pounds since surgery last July. I was really happy about that. I've been waiting to get to 350! I also found out that I'm not eating enough calories. She actually gave me these Skippy peanut butter/chocolate thingies to have as a snack. She also told me she doesn't have a problem with the amount of regular soda I'm drinking, which when I sat down to figure it out, is actually only about one can's worth a day. She told me to start snacking in the afternoon and gave me some good suggestions. She also wants me to up my fiber by taking 2 tablespoons of flax seeds a day, increase my water intake, and add one minute of exercise every week to my treadmill time. She gave me the number of a personal trainer who is a client of hers who is supposed to be incredibly nice and motivational. So, things are looking up and I can stop being so hard on myself. Whew, I guess all I needed was a professional's opinion! Kelle

That's fantastic Kelle!!!! I never had to see a nutritionist, so this information is good to hear. Keep up your good work!!!! Dee Dee

Awesome news, Kelle!!! Congratulations on your great weight loss!!! WooooHoooo!!! Those Skippy thingies sound yummy! Let us know how the flax seeds taste! Hugs, Becky

How many calories were you eating and how many does she want you to eat now?

Kelle, Great Job! You must feel like a new person too! I have lost a little over a hundred pounds and I feel like a new person. I think I have more fun dressing up now because I don't look like a heffer. LMFAO. Any how, keep trucking and hopefully we will get to see a new Kelle at an upcoming party. Talk to you soon. Holly
