Walking!! I walk a minium of 3km a day, ususally closer to 7km. I entered a 10km trail race on Sunday. Only fell in the mud once, very challenging course with hills that took my breath away. Played golf all day yesterday. 3km in this morning with another 6km planned for tonight with my husband. I am signing up for 10km challenges every other weekend. This all from someone who did next to nothing in March! I am down 40lbs and keep my Protein intake around 80 grams per day. Only had 1 fill and feel wonderful! What a new lease on life I have! Soooo happy to be banded!!!!!
Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Everyone already most likely knows all about these! Well, I just found out and had to share. They were such a tasty crunchy snack, especially warm from the oven. I seasoned them with sea salt, pepper, and paprika. Yum!
Wash and rinse the chickpeas (canned). Let dry a bit (pat with paper towel). Spray with a bit of olive oil and season to taste. Place in oven on a baking sheet for 45 minutes at 425F. Voila! Yummy, high Protein snack!!
Nice and easy for people like myself that cannot boil Water correctly

VERY heavy on the prayer!!

I had my surgery at Smart Shape.
I am really impressed with the letter above from the doctor's at the CIBO clinic. Way to stand up and do the right thing!

i do not feel any different than I did before I went in. i had 4cc in my 10cc band at time of surgery. They added .5cc yesterday. Sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks to feel the difference. I am walking a minimum of 4km per day (ususally 7km), using arm weights (to help with the bat wings) and feel marvelous. Down 31lbs total and life is good! Just looking for a little help with the tummy rumbling 2 hrs after eating. My next appointment is 1 month out.

With that attitude, how can you go wrong? Dust yourself off and look forward. You got this!!!!!!

Definately give him a ring! I felt the same way so I sent an email to the nurses at my clinic. They moved up my appointment and told me to call if I would like to just "chat" any time, any day. I did threaten to duct tape my mouth at one point.........

Hey Sarah! I am in the same vote. I was banded 04/05/13 and hopefully will have a fill on 05/13/13!. I am a starving marvin! It is tough to stay true to myself. I have also increased my exercise from 0 to roughly 15-20km walking a week. Plus toning using weights for my arms. I long for next Monday!!

hmm, not sure. I am not sure if they are available here in Canada. If you can chew up a pill (painkiller), I should think any vitawmins should be fine. But that is only my opinion- a very unprofessional one at that!

And please do all the lifting (laundry, groceries) for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery.
**And please do not think it is abnormal to ask for him to go to the grocery store for SF popsicles at 10 at night

Congrats on your success. I appreciate the tips you have provided! Punta Cana is my absolute favourite vacation destination...been 10+ times! Enjoy yourself and your new body!

Every day and I am happy with this. Right now, I do not think I am drinking enough full fluids. So increasing and monitioring daily go hand in hand.

Go for it! Screw what other people think! If anyone gives you a look of disgust, stick your tongue out at them. That usually shuts them up!

I hate "so how much have you lost so far?" and "wow, you don't look like you need to lose any more". Not lose any more? Please give me your rose coloured glasses because I have at least 45 more pounds to go to be at a "healthy" weight!!
I do love to hear I look good and a "way to go" for all the hard work I am putting into this :D :D
