Thanks for posting. I smiled at your answers. Excellent carb work!
Regarding so many of the recipes including ham in them, I totally hear ya. Even if I wasn't a vegetarian, I still wouldn't be eating ham as it's not kosher so I would again be in the same boat as you. Look at the recipes and see what you could substitute the ham for if that's a recipe you really want to consume. Please don't feel that you can only eat those recipes. You can come up with a ton of salad combos, not just the examples they provided. I actually did the beef and vegetable stew recipe but modified without the beef and it was awesome. I tossed in other veggies on the list that I already had at home and was thrilled that my husband loved it too. He actually asked when I would make that again! phew... The stew was really good the next day so if you haven't done that one already, make that the night before and just heat up at work the next day.
See ya,
Kimberlee

I didn't count yesterday but today I am up to 32 oz. so far.

Topic: RE: Introduce yourself...
Hi and thanks for posting. Excellent point about taking the vitamins. Such an easy piece of this puzzle to slack on. Our next in-person group meeting is Saturday, June 20th (look on our Events link). No need to rsvp, just show up.
Congrats on the baby too. I had my surgery in 2001 and my first child almost a year to the date of this post, last May 2008. Still working on the last 15 pounds to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. It does take a while post-delivery!
My best to you,
Kimberlee

Topic: RE: Introduce yourself...
Hello! I have not looked at this site in a while; things have been very busy, haha... Well I had my RNY in 2005, had a baby in 2007 and after losing all that weight I gained it (well not all of it) back.. I was looking to find a support group... and remind people to always... always take your vitamins.. because no matter how long ago your surgery was, if you don’t take it you will pay for it! I know I am, my health is not so good. I live in Fremont, and I am just looking for a someone to talk to, and possibly a work out partner...Thanks for listening..
