Hey Deb!
So where did you have your surgery? We are practically neighbors, you don't meet other folks from Washington County too often!
Hope everything is going well!

Hi Lisa,
I'll try and help you shake things up a bit around here :)
I do really like Dr. P. I had RNY with him July 09. Things are a bit mixed. The weight loss has gone very well, 170lbs since starting medifast feb 09, Dr P is thrilled. Have had some issues with an ulcer and then the results of not eating because of it. Starting to get on my feet again and hopefully more active soon here :)
How have you been doing with yours?

Topic: RE: What do you do for your Excercise?
Hi - I'm a Brit living in Dubai.
MikeyMike is one of my friends on here as we had surgery in the same month so are in the same March Surgery group - hence I've made it to the NY board - I'm virtually 'travelling' around the US as I respond to mails. I find this site great, more help to me than the British Board as less people seem to have had VSG in the UK.
Body Combat is a bit similar to Tae Bo - but it's all set to music tracks - it's a 1 hour group class, where you do some warm ups then boxing/kick boxing type routines to dance music - building up to a few energetic tracks in the middle and then slowing down to some abs work and Tae Chi moves at the end - I LOVE IT. It's hard work, but goes quickly and is fun.
Great to hear from you.
Debbie

Topic: RE: Monday
Today started of with a bang - as in a major headache. I ended up not going to work it was so bad. I think I was a bit dehydrated. Got better once i got to drinking. Felt much better by late morning. I headed out to get tires for my car and then came home and did some canning. Tomorrow I am going on a hike in Vermont. this should be fun!
I usually head for fat free/ sugar free pudding when I get a craving for sweet stuff. My pitfall is the crunchy. What to do when those craving**** That is a carb monster attack waiting to happen for sure.
Have a great night all!
