Well I am sorry, I haven't been on here lately. Been very difficult time in my life. Really at a stand still with my weight loss. Had to have rotator cuff tear repair surgery, which means that exercise has been out. Still in a sling at this time. Then on July 8, my mother-in-law passed away. When I married my husband, she took me as her own daughter because my mother had died in 1997. I miss her so much, so still trying to get used to her not being around. She really encouraged my weight...

Well been going to Zumba at least twice a week and really feel a big difference. It is pretty amazing that I can exercise for an hour at one time. I suprised my self. I have to admit I think I am addicted now to Zumba!!

I feel like I am at a stand still with my weight loss. I am losing alot of my hair, why isn't my weight coming off too. LOL

Deb, I am doing fine. Weight loss seems to have stalled at the moment, but it is okay. I have been going to Zumba and loving it. So maybe that is some of my stall, not really a stall, but a muscle gain, who knows, just know that I am just going to keep working hard at my goal. Hope all is well with you! Lisa

How is your diabetes post surgery?
lizajane2000 replied to Deedle Dee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on Lantus, Actos and Glucophage preop. The day after surgery until present I have been med free with normal blood sugars. I go back to the doctor for an hemoglobin A1C in two weeks I will see then how my sugar has been really doing without meds. Sleeve is the best thing I ever did. -
I hope nobody gets this stomach flu that is going around. It was the worse 24 hours I have had in a long time. It was worse than surgery for me. Anyway, I am back to normal today, if you call me normal...

Well, I know this probably has been asked a million time, well here goes a million and one. What are you normally eating after you are on mushies? I just need some new ideas on how much you eat and what you eat in a days time.

Eating everday
lizajane2000 replied to lizajane2000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just barely tolerate cottage cheese, and I have tried greek yogurt and it was nasty, but adding those syrups may do the trick. I am counting carbs too. Deb, how many carbs do you get in a day? I am having trouble sometimes getting any carbs in because I have a hard time trying to get all my protein in as I can not stand Protein drinks ever since surgery. I somtimes get 25 to 35 carbs in a day, do you think that too much I am only getting about 600 to 800 calories a day. By the way, I went to Perkins the other night, not sure if anybody has Perkins in your area or not, but they have a spicy mango talapia. It was so good. Of course I could only eat part of the talapia. My sister winded up eating my baked potato and the veggies were disgusting. I been having this fish thingy lately, baked of course. Oh well, I think I will try the syrup in the greek yogurt and that will help out a lot and give a lot of different taste instead of just the same old chicken salad and tuna salad all the time. Thanks for all your input it really helps a lot!!!!! -

Protein Shake Alternatives
lizajane2000 replied to Fleur de lis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried a bunch of different Protein shakes prior to surgery and I could handle them all, but now since surgery, they make me a little sick to my stomach, so I have stayed away from them. My doctor allows his patients to go to mushies which I am only 2 weeks out. He said that a long as it can be blended up then eat it. Somethings are pretty gross blended, but I have found that tuna fish and chicken salad can be mushed up pretty good and I take my time and it goes down pretty good. Needless to say I can only eat about 2 to 3 ounces. I remember my NUT saying that getting protein from food is a lot better than the supplement anyway. Lisa -
Hi all, I am doing pretty good since my surgery on 10/18. I have been having one problem, not to drink anything for at least 20 to 30 minutes after I eat. I have always been a person who drinks with meals and I guess this is a real hard habit to break. Does anybody have any tips for me to stop doing this, did anybody else have problems with this too? Side note: This is my first day back to work. I can't believe all the compliments I have gotten on my weight loss for other employees. I have lost 33 pounds thus far and I can't believe what a difference it makes. I am off of my blood pressure medicines and all my diabetic medicines. Even if I don't lose any more weight (which I know I will), the surgery has been well worth it just for reversing those issues. I hope everyone has a great week. Lisa

Got my drain out today woohoo!!!! I feel like a different person now. I can't wait t get back to work so I can get to some type of normal routine. I am definitely not a homebody. Hope everyone has a good day!
