Topic: RE: Just Curious ...
Hello Tink...
What kind of protein drinks are you doing ? I use EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control Shakes which I purchase from Walmart. They are low in calorie and carbs, I have at least 2-3 a day. I asked my surgeon if I could continue to use them and he said whatever works for me.
What type of exercise do you do ? I'm looking for some motivation to get me back on track with my exercise, but I Iove to walk and do weight training. Bought some new workout music which I hope will help me burn.
Do you belong to a support group in your area ? No, all my support comes from Obesity Help website. My schedule working nights, wasn't convenient for me.
What is your GO TO food when you have head hunger ? Unfortunately junk
How has your self esteem changed since your surgery or your weight loss ? Yes it has. My appearance is very important to me now. I don't go out unless every hair is in place whether I dressed or lounging in sweats...hair, makeup, jewelery. Lights, camera action!

What kind of protein drinks are you doing ? None. They make me vomit and taste horrible. I get all of my protein from food sources averaging about 90 - 100+ grams per day. I eat constantly now. Its weird, but I'm losing, so I go with it.
What type of exercise do you do ? Currently nothing consistent.
But, I'm working on it. I have a Wii and the Fit Plus package, just have to get the sensor bar to work properly. Meanwhile, I'm slowly incorporating more walking. Shoot, I just recently got my energy back!
Do you belong to a support group in your area ? Nope. But I do attend the group at my hospital, its in NC. Its quite entertaining and the info is helpful.
What is your GO TO food when you have head hunger ? Bacon, eggs, tuna, shrimp, crab, beans, steak, cheese, and salad (with some of the aforementioned proteins added in).
How has your self esteem changed since your surgery or your weight loss ? My surgery event was a bit traumatic and I believe that has made me re-assess myself and life. I've found that I'm more ME again. Self-esteem has never been an issue for me, so I don't see any difference there. I'm thrilled to be back in my old clothes (at the moment), but I'm really excited to see where I end up. I'm so glad I don't have to do any clothes shopping until I'm closer to goal. Gives me more time to save up!

Topic: RE: Working During the Day...Update
Sometimes we surprise even ourselves! I have been extremely well handling the day shift and better than I thought I would do with my eating. I have been so busy adjusting to my new hours, I forget to eat! Trying to adjust my schedule a little more because I'm not getting in enough protein, and other than taking the stairs at work...no exercise
. Hopefully I will made a better adjustment within the next week.
More to come...
Dreamgirl119Good for you ! I knew you would be fine .
Try not to forget to eat .. even if you have to set your alarm on your cell phone . You do not want your surgar to drop . As to getting in enough protein ... Can you take or make a protein shake at work ?
You can also take other things like jerky , deli meats ... yogurt ... etc ...
I use the protein drink called Achiev1. I love it .. especially if you like coffee.
Keep us posted ... and keep walking those stairs !!
Hugs,
Tink
