Topic: RE: Day 3 Back On Track..
wow... there is someone out there that feels the same as me... i was beating myself up because i too took advantage of the tool and stopped trying.. i had a baby.. lost the 24 pounds i put on.. but before and after the baby i was stuck at the same weight... i just didnt try... i grazed like crazy.. i have lost a total of 10 pounds recently.. and now 196.. working out daily at the gym... its funny what can make us wake up.. and see the light... mine was a voice constantly telling me.. beth.. your not eating right.. but when my sister in law called to tell me "Im having the lap band put in " which was yesterday... it threw me... here ive had the gastric bypass surgery and i need to succeed... we should be eachothers motivator.. since we are the same weight and wanting to get to the same weight.... : ))

its like a light went off in my head when i hit 200# again....even though im still down 90# from pre-surgery, i've lost focus and took advantage of my tool ...i slacked off and decided since i had the surgery, i'd be ok ..but i know that the surgery was only a tool for me and that the challenge would be lifelong...thank god for dr halmi..he really did save my life.
good luck and congrats for getting back on track ..take care

Topic: RE: protein
Beth, definitely sounds like you are well on the road to getting back on track. We all stumble in our journey, don't beat yourself up.
One thing that concerned me on your vitamin list was your B-12. Because of the RNY our stomachs do not absorb the B-12 in pill form which is why we are supposed to use the sublingual (under the tongue). If you aren't using the sublingual you will need to switch in order to get teh absorbtion that you need. Your labs will help a lot to let you know where you stand.

Well can I just go crawl back in bed 
and forget this day ever began. We had a pretty hectic night last night, never did get in any exercise and by the time I went to bed I did not feel good for some reason. Woke up to the phone ringing at midnight, missed the call and realized it was the oldest daughter who was out on a date and should have already been home. She had called earlier to tell us she was running late, hubby had turned his phone off and missed that call, and she had made it home but was locked out of the house so had to call me since he wasn't answering his phone. ugh. I did not sleep well after that at all. Still not feeling good today but have to be in at the office so I will just have to deal with it.
a.m. cuppas & protein in
B - oatmeal & mini bagel
S - strawberries
L - subway
S - banana
D - enchiladas (will be trying this with whole grain tortillas)
