Morning All,
Today's menu is planned and I'm happy with the choices. Hope all of you can be happy with the choices you make today whether in food or otherwise. Here's mine.
Now I plan to get on the treadmill as I have a meeting tonight and won't have time then. Please remember the rules for your goals. You will be much happier.
Tip for today - Stay on path, you are not there yet.

Thanks for the tip, Z!
I have also found a support group @ Vandy that posts here on OH.
If this site is inactive then I won't be here long; but it has been a wealth of info for preparedness and awareness.
Hope you are continuing to have positive changes since your surgery!

Kentucky site is very inactive. I post here because this is where I started and hope some can learn from my good habits and bad that they read about.
Since you are having sleeve I would suggest you go to the VSG site for encouragement and direction. I wish you the best on your upcoming surgery.
My husband didn't have wls but he had a bleed on the brain and was flown to Vandy. He received great care. Don't know about the bariatric section. Take care,

Evening All,
Hope all are having a great day. Day two of high protein, low carb so far so good. Not hungry but you always want what you can't have. I will stay with this for two weeks then add a little carb for one week then go right back to high protein low carb. Here's what I ate today.
Also, I've decided to exercise in the evening.
Tip for the day:
To thy ownself be true - whatever your plan, stick to it.

Topic: 1/2 way through pre-op requirements
So happy to be at the half-way mark on the journey to surgery this spring @ Vandy.
Glad to be finding WLS friends in Bowling Green but not finding many on this site.
Looking forward to next support group meeting in BG on Jan 19th as I get lots of info from those that have had surgery already.
I'm not a very active reader or poster yet; but hope to share more following each visit to doctors leading up to and after surgery.
Good luck to all!

Topic: RE: 6 years out still a success
So proud of you. I will be 57n in March and I will be one year out the 24th of this month. It had not been easy for me, but then nothing worth doing is easy. I had the lap band in 2008 and it was a joke. I don't recommend it to anyone, but my RNY has very much been worth every thing that happened and all that I have been through. Really haven't had any major problems, but since it was not a "virgin" surgery and I don't really think that is to blame, but I am just a plain ole slow loser. I have lost right at 80 lbs and have about 20 to go to make Dr. Tom's goal, but I would actually like to lose another 40 lbs. I don't know if I can do it or not. I am going to see Dr. Tom in March or April and I hope to have those last 20 lbs off by then and then he and I will talk about what is next.
I pray I am a succss story at 5 years and so proud of you.
