 Do you ever get frustrated because things are going too slow in your life? Many people don’t realize that building a Foundation that will lead to success does not happen overnight. It is a slow process in which you are constantly building and learning. It is extremely important to create a Foundation that will remain strong even in times of failure or crisis. This takes time! You may have to remind yourself that failing is only failure if you quit…otherwise it is a learning opportunity. So, don’t worry if your life seems to be in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation and learning from your steps back. |

On the Journey
PRIORITIES AND WHERE ARE
YOU?
All of us have 1,440 minutes in a day. By
multi-tasking, you jam pack those 1,440
minutes. 1,440 minutes is a lot of time – how
do you spend those minutes? From all of that
time, how many of those minutes do you spend
on yourself? We do so much for so many
people in our lives that we forget or are too
busy to spend any time for ourselves. If you
want to know what you value in each day, take
a hard look at how you spend your 1,440
minutes.
We schedule appointments, meetings and other
commitments for ourselves and our time every
day. We have endless To Do lists. Look at
your schedule and your To Do lists, where are
you? When we have a scheduled meeting or a
doctor appointment, it is a priority. We make
sure to carve out time in our schedule. On our
(endless?) To Do lists, we pay attention to
those items and check them off when
completed. Check out your schedule and To
Do list, where are you?
Conduct a time study of how you spend your
time. Record what you do every 15-30 minutes
every day for a period of a week. Do you think
that you don’t have time to exercise or prepare
healthy meals, yet you spend four hours every
nigh****ching mindless television?
Here are some helpful tips to put YOU on YOUR
list:
6 How does your day empower your health?
7 Are you too busy to regularly exercise or
create activity in your life?
7 Do you give your time and energies to so
many other people in your life that you don’t a
reserve of time for yourself?
7 Is it faster to eat from a drive-thru or
prepare a healthy meal?
As you review your schedule and To Do List,
where is your commitment to your healthy
lifestyle? How do you honor your commitment
to a healthy lifestyle on a regular basis?

I am new too, surgery scheduled 5/11/12. I have been trying a bunch of protein drinks to get ready for surgery. My favorites so far are the Costco Advantage(Chocolate,Vanilla), Unjury Powder(Unflavored, Chocolate, Vanilla) and Muscle Milk Lite. My nutritionist gave me some PB2 powder which is awesome in a chocolate shake with 1/2 a banana. The Unflavored Unjury is also good in soup or broth but it can't be too warm and it does change the color/consistency some. Hopefully they will still taste good to me post op.

Psych eval is done and approved, just getting all my ducks in a row now.4/23/12
8 years ago this month I started doing research on Weight Loss Surgery. I found OH ... and it saved my life . I also found a ladies profile that I read ... all 200 plus pages. When reading her journey ,I remember telling my daughter with tears in my eyes , if she can do this .. so can I . I then got up the next morning and called my surgeons office and began my journey. May27th 2004 I had my surgery. I started out around 350...by my first year out I was at goal. I have been lucky not to have regain... I am determined to use my tool and never go back .OH was there with me the entire way. I posted on the main board and got tons of support. I hope that you contine to us OH as a go to for all your Weight Loss Surgery support.
Love,
