WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY ALREADY??
Jan - Make sure you get to the dr asap!!!
I get really hot after I eat to fast or eat the wrong things and then get really sleepy. Sometimes I can eat one thing then the next time it makes me sick. Its a never ending live and learn...
I still miss my fur baby so much and have decided not to get another one. At least with Cassie I can take her and go without it imposing on to many people when I bring her and her crate.
I picked over a dozen cucumbers last night and made cucumbers and onions - they are so good. I never liked them until last year - oh how our tastes change. I put to much splenda in them so had to tweak the vinegar a bit. Our zucchini is going crazy now! I have little cantelopes setting on - they are about the size of your thumb - I can't wait!!!
Take care - Sandy


I had my 1 year follow up with the doctor and his crew yesterday. He is pleased with my progress but wants me to lose another 20 lbs. I want to lose 30 so I'm ok there. The dieticisn said I need to eat more. Never thought I would here that!! I take in around 1000-1100 calories a day and she said I should have at least 1200. I do have a fear of eating too much and gaining weight. She said my body won't let go of fat with such a low calorie count.
The exercise guru wasn't happy with me for not exercising. I need to workout at least 5 times a week doing strength training and cardio. I'm really going to make an effort to do that. My plan is to go to the gym 3 times a week and work out at home with bands and a video 2 times a week.
My lab work was great except I need more Vitamin D. My B12 was high. Instead of sticking with the plan I was given by my doctor, I switched to the vitamin schedule suggested by Bariactric Eating. I eliminated the extra Vitamin D and was taking B12. Looks like that's not a good plan for me.
She did tell me about Optisource vitamins at Walgreen that I can take instead of Bariatric Advantage. She didn't approve of the Walmart vitamins.
So glad it's Friday although our annual meeting is this afternoon so I'll be sitting thru about 3 hours of that.
