5 months and one day from surgery and feeling great!

I joined a gym over a month ago and started working out about 5 days a week. I think I have a new addiction!

Here's to the next 5 months!

It get better for sure. I really make sure I get my Vitamins, Water, and Protein in everyday, I think it helps with energy. I also increase my dosage of B12 in the morning and it gives me some energy. I needed something to replace the caffeine!

Best of luck!!!

I eat A LOT of protein!

I stick to a low carb/high Protein diet. No bad carbs at all (Pasta, sugar, flour, potatoes, bread, etc.) I am pretty diligent about that. I know that I'll probably get a lot of negative feedback but I don't eat a lot of fruit at this point either, only a few berries here and there. Honestly as soon as I finish with Protein there isn't much room for anything else!

For the first 3 months or so I really tried to get all of my protein from food. Over the last month though (since joining the gym and working out 5 days a week), I started adding a few Protein shakes a day to get my protein up to about 110 grams a day.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
