Mmm, that sounds good! Where do you buy that at?

I buy them from Target, not sure where you would find them in Canada. If you cannot find them at a grocery store, drive down to Bellingham, WA for some or order online at Amazon.

Yes, I like those on occasions when I want the extra energy from the added caffeine. I can't drink them all day though. I am thinking about the Mio energy flavors with electrolytes and caffeine. Are those the ones you are talking about?

What is your favorite post op liquid? You know, the one that you can drink all day and not be sick of the flavor. I finally found a good one. I like to drink Desani Pink Lemondade mixed with water and had my wife buy out the supply at the grocery store the other day. How about you?

Going to try cross fit for the first time this next week. I am a long distance runner as well as a fast 5 k runner. However, I am not very strong due to some lost muscles. What advice do you have for making the most out of crossfit for a person like me?

Hey, gman is a good guy. Always welcome!

Curious, did it lead to any weight gain?

Yes, 1000 is realistic for post 6 months.

Sophomore?

That's awesome. Victory is in the air!

Hey, we are sleeve brothers. July 2nd here also. I have dropped 155 since since July 2nd, 185 if you count some dieting before that. Might try for 5 more lb.

Plus there is a bunch of resistance training if you load a couch, flat screen and 3 weeks of groceries onto one long cart. I would say you probably burned off your sample from the shopping trip.

About how long does it take for you to go from running a 10 k to a 1/2? I got the 10 k down pretty good now and can start in on some longer distances. What should the next mini goal be because it is a long ways between 10 k and 1/2 marathon. Thanks!

I get the size up from that in the big canister.

Yeah, Costco shopping is like 4 times around the track by the time you are done shopping.

Anytime! I am home now and the only clue I can give you is it is called "Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60" and is a "premier whey and leucine formula." There is no writing that says whether this is a concentrate or isolate so hopefully that helps. It has been a really helpful blend for recovery and tastes good also ( in my opinion). I usually have one for Breakfast, one for bed and one after my workout. Seems like I am taking a lot, but it is their recommended serving size split over 3 meals and gives 79 grams or Protein. I do not know why they would suggest 79 grams at once because the body can only absorb 30 g at a time. I usually do some pretty hard workouts so am glad to be taking something that puts me back in the game the following day. Look out American Ninja competition, here I come.

Um, ballpark 150 Cal? Depends at how big your bites are, I suppose. Sorry, I was not blessed with the calorie guessing gene. Hence, my diet is very simple and I depend on my trusty food scale.

Mmmm, sounds good and...cheap! Good move.

Not really. It is literally a bunch of sample from ham slices, to Cookies, to energy drinks to yogurt. What they happen to be sampling. It is good that most times they are sampling foods that are good for us like chicken or beef. ,

Do you think it is possible that exercising 2x a day is being counter balanced with food intake? Was happening to me all the time before WLS. I would exercise 2 hours a day, but my diet was just not right and thwarted all my hard hours spent exercising. I am sorry you are going through this. Can you share a breakdown of what your diet looks like? Another thought, which would seem implausible at first, is exercising 2x a day is too much for your body and it is in starvation mode. However, Looking at your diet seems like a more logical and plausible place to start. Have you tried talking to a nutritionalist?

You bet!
