Topic: RE: Protein Shakes ... the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!
Hi everyone. Just did my VSG on May 1. This is the first time I am posting to anything on OH. Sorry if I do this wrong. I cannot figure out how to put my signature correctly so my progress show properly. I was and still am using the EAS 100% Whey Protein powder and the over the counter already made up shakes. Chocolate only and I really like them.
Topic: RE: How is your weight loss going?
I'm about 30 lbs down in 2 months...... Could be more, but I'm VERY happy with that number! I still need to learn to eat a little slower and chew longer ......
Topic: RE: Exercise...... how much are you doing?
I love Zumba and regularly did it on my Kinnect before surgery. Now that I'm training for a 1/2 marathon though it just doesn't work into my schedule. I have to run on my cardio days and then I do weights and stretch on my off days. Hope to start it again when I am eating enough to exercise 2x a day.

Well, wed. didn'y work for 1st Zumba, however I did it tonight. It totally kicked my butt. I was worn out & thinking well I can stop now & next time stay longer, but it was so much fun I just kept going. I kept pace almost the entire time too. I will however be interected to see how I feel tomorrow..LOL.
If you haven't checked it out...do.

That's great that you have those resources and that you are full swing into your program!

I don't know if it improves them, but it definitely allows me to get in good cardio when I otherwise wouldn't be able to. I can only run on the road on Sat. unless I want to push a stroller (I don't). So I run on a track and use the elliptical when the weather isn't conducive to having the kids play at the park while I'm at the track. I was doing 5 days a week before surgery so this isn't anything new I'm just finally getting back to my pre-surgery levels. I meet with the training person for my surgeon tomorrow and I'm hoping he'll help me with a better strength training regimen as my arms could use a ton of help.

Do you find doing the ellipitcal on your off days improves your run/walks?
I am following a training schedule and they only want me run/walking 3 days/week. I still haven't done any strength training yet. I really need to get going on that.
Horseback riding? I would LOVE to hear how that goes. That sounds like an amazing present for hitting onederland!
