Good Morning Wisconsin from Janesville

Good Morning All! I've been hanging out on my surgery month page and just wanted to stop in and say Hi! I had surgery March 1st of this year and feel absolutely wonderful! How are all of you doing and is anyone running into any challenges yet? My main challenge is that I am not staying with my protein intake. I know that is so important with regards to losing muscle mass and will now make it my goal for the next week (baby steps). Hope you all are doing well. Stop in and say hi when you get a chance! Lucy

Hi Lucy!! Glad to hear you are feeling so great! Goodluck with the protein! I'm far, far out from surgery (hoping to have it next summer) but have already become addicted to OH!

Hi Kelly Jo! I loved reading your profile...thank you so much for the honesty and for sharing your experiences and feelings. I too am addicted to our OH site as it is the only place I don't think too much before I type. I can be "real" here and it feels great! I'll be counting down with you! Please keep posting so we can keep in touch! Packer Game here we come!!! Lucy

Hey Lucy, I am just wanting to introduce myself, I am Christina from Watertown and I hear you on the difficulties on the Protein! I had my surgery on 5/16/06 and I would rather try it this way as opposed to drinking those horrid protein shakes. Well anyways take care and good luck on the protein count! Christina

Thanks for the encouragement Christina! Congratulations on having the surgery! Is everything going well for you? Have a great day! Lucy

Go Packers!!! Sounds like you are doing great. Really try to get in the protein any way you can, it really does make a difference. I like Ricotta cheese, mixed with a little cocoa powder and splenda. Tastes like chocolate cheesecake. I also like the Shaklee version of protein powder. It is truly tastless and mixes completely in anything. I like it best in crystal lite and diet V8 splash. Maybe we could meet sometime. I love to scrapbook and stamp and have been wanting to come to Janesville to the scrapbook store there. We could meet up some day. Take care and keep exercising. Lori
