Good Morning Everybody!
Good Morning Everybody!
I hope everyone is doing good! I know I've been a ghost around here the past several months. I can't access the site from work and by the time I get home in the evening, nobody is really on here. Also, I have to admit, I've been so busy with my life that I have not been able to log on here much in the evening.
How goes the eating? drinking? supplements? exercise?
I'm doing okay on the eating, I always get my protein in (minimum of 60 grams). Even 3 years post-op, I still drink at least 1 protein drink a day. I need to stop eating so many carbs.
Drinking is A-OK (as always). I still live by the rule that I don't eat and drink at the same time and I really believe that is a big part of long term success after RNY.
I religiously take my supplements everyday.
Exercise? What's that???!!!! I keep telling myself everyday that I'm going to get on the torture machine (my pet nickname for my elliptical trainer). But every night it's one thing or another and, well...you know how we all make excuses. I WILL get on there today (even if it's only for 15-20 minutes.
I recently went for my 3 year post op checkup and the Dr. was pleased with my blood work, so that's good. He was not very pleased about the 20lb weight gain from when I visited last year. I know the reason for part of the weight gain (can you say implants), but I know I'm eating too many carbs and need to stop that and increase the exercise.
So what's up in your world, how's it going?
Have a Wonderful Day!

((( Terry ))) Good morning 
It's wonderful to see your post. I know you and McSweetie are busy making plans as well as getting the houses ready so your absence is totally understandable.
Things are the same with me .. coming up on 4 1/2 years post op and holding steady with the unfortunate weight gain. The good news is I'm wearing the same clothes I did a year ago, though the clothes I have bought this year are a size larger than the clothes from 2 and 3 years ago
. I fell off the exercise band wagon after doing so well with the 4:30 a.m. thing for quite a while, but when I got messed up with the kidney stones that through my schedule off and I've never been able to jump back on. I am STILL paying the gym membership since it was a 2 year contract, but when it comes to an end, I am going to cancel and put that $59/month into something else. I am eliptically-challenged so probably a good sturdy treadmill. I believe I would use it at home, just need to fix a spot to put it. Think I'll put that as the BIG item on our Christmas list this year. I am sure Mr Mo would MUCH rather have a big screen TV on that list, but we can postpone that for a while yet.
Mr Mo and I have an addition to our 'family' ... a 1974 Mack fire truck! His heart is still in the fire service even though he's been out of it for a long time and we had the opportunity to buy this truck and it's been worth it for the fun he has with it and I enjoy it too (get my exercise for sure climbing up into it). The fire truck has given me LOTS of photo ops and you know how I am about taking pics.
Work is still good .. busy but I enjoy every day .. or at least most every day.
Speaking of which, I had better get to it.
Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
