Outstanding! Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck on training for the mini-triathalon. Every day I discover a new perk to losing weight. Don't know that I'll ever look forward to training for a competition, but I am looking forward to a break in the weather. My yard is calling.

They say that WLS is a wild ride, sounds like that's definitely true for you! Congrats on your upcoming wedding and I do hope that you go into Bariatrics when you finish nursing school, it's always nice to be taken care of by someone who has been there.

Topic: Almost one year later!!
As I write this I can hardly beleive that it's nearly been a year since I was planning and prepairing for my upcomming surgery. My entire life has done a full 180 since then. Within the last 12 months I have undergone RNY, lost 100lbs, Had a tummy tuck, Cut off all my hair, Met the man of my dreams, and in exactly 10 days I will marry that man. I then have this crazy plan to quit the job that has basicly defined me for the last 4 years and go back to college to get that nursing degree I've dreamed about for so long. Once i'm done with school I really hope I can go into Bariatrics in some capacity...I really feel the need to give back to this field that I feel has totally reformed my life. In this last year I have learned so much about myself, who I am, and who I want to be...I wanted to thank each one of my OH friends and I will try to start logging on more often! I love you guys!

Topic: RE: 10 Day Diet starting today
My husband went to bodybuilders.com and got me mocha cappichino and carmel toffee fudge whey protein and they are FAB!!! LOVE them!
Isopure is a good one that doesn't have the strong milk constancy and after taste. Each bottle has 40 grams of protein too!

Topic: RE: protein shakes and vomiting Need Help!!!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your words of encouragement! I went to the store yesterday to get a few different kinds of shakes to play with. Taste isn't so much a concern as just being able to keep them down pre-op. My PCP seems to think that my pre-surgery body is having an issue with processing that much protein and that's why I puke the day after. I'm going to run this by the surgeon to get their input as well.
