Topic: Its been a long time!
Well, its been a years since my last post. Life gets crazy after surgery! The biggest reason I am back again is, my cousin is starting her journey! I want to suport her! I figure the best way is to start here! Well I updated my pics on my site! As you can see from my weight tracker I am still 20 lbs or so from a normal BMI. I feel great! No problems. I have been through meny stalls, never gained any weight back . Plus I keep losing at a snall pace!
Topic: Exercise
We all know how important exercise is and following the rules. And the exercise end has been a little slow this summer for me. been traveling and then had surgery. But we did do a little walking last week and this morning we walked for an hour. Boy did my legs know it.
I got a note back from my surgeon who now is in Ohio and he said the defination of succes for wls is not in the first two years. it is in the four or five year and beyond not gaining wait and maintaining. We all know that bad habits can creep back in and following the rules gets put to the wayside. But for most of Us we need to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. I dont think we always reward ourselves *( and no with food) for maintaining and following the rules.
I hope everyone has had a great summer as it winds. down. Take care and keep in touch.!!!
I will be doing the koman walk for the cure if anyone is interested in walking with me let me know.

Topic: RE: 2 week liquid diet
try emailing your dietitian and ask what else to do you could try some juice cut 50 50and see if that helps but beware if too much juice it can be3 hi in calories and has not much good in it i do like tomato juice that does have fiber in it
