Hey Jereni!!!!
I'm ok I guess. I went back to work on 8-7 and boy was it hard. I could really be a stay-at-home wife and mom. I'm 4 wks postop lap RNY (7-11-06) and I've lost 32#. This is kinda depressing for me because I really thought I'd lost alot more by now. I think part of the problem is that I'm only getting about 500 calories if that many a day. I usually get 50-60 gms of protein daily. My DH and I had started walking 1.5 miles per day but it's harder for me now since I've gone back to work, DH is a pastor so there's the next three weeks in revival, in addition to I work 8-5 and that makes it hard for me to get my walk in. I called today to inquire about membership to the local gyms because "Spin Queen" Dawn has done such a great job. I know that I have got to increase my exercise regimen or this will be in vain but it's so hard with my work schedule. I do have a treadmill but it seems harder than my walking on the track. I kinda wish I had a stationary bike. Enough about me, email me and let me know what's going on with you and your situation. Also, I did speak with the dietician on yesterday and she gave me some great ideas and I hope this helps.
