Did another 2.63 miles today for a total of 6.71 miles thus far :-)

I sauteed some onions and garlic with zucchini, then I added some stewed tomatoes and italian seasoning. I cooked it all together for a while then added bunches and bunches of fresh baby spinach and wilted it down. This keeps in the fridge for about a week. When I'm hungry I get 3/4 of a cup of this and crumble an ounce of feta and half an ounce of asiago cheese and then microwave it. ZOMG!!!!!

I was sleeved by Louisana Valenzuela with Dr Cabrera assisting. Both received extrnsive bariatric training under Dr. Corvala. I had an excellent experience. (Coordianted through MBC and had surgery at midoctor.) I can't say that I'd recommend my doctor OVER any other doctor because honestly, I've heard so many positive experiences about Corvala, F. Lopez, Aceves, and Garcia. Also a lot of people like Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras. I think it's just a matter of finding a Doctor and coordinator that you're comfortable with while finding the location and price that's right for you.

8 miles today on the bike.
MTD: 56 miles.. 244 miles to go!

Thank you! My first selfie!

15 exhausting miles today on my bike. 48 miles total for the month. Goal of 300 miles biked in October.

When you're newly sleeved inflammation can keep liquids in for longer because it takes longer for the liquids to flow through a tight space.. For me at 7 months out, I can drink 16 ounces of Water and be ready to eat in 10 minutes.

IMHO, weight loss is primarily related to what you eat.
For me, I stopped exercising for weight loss YEARS ago. I DO exercise, but I do it for FUN, personal growth, and for HEALTH...and to make my butt look better....I don't feel exercise is necessary for weight loss but I do feel it is necessary for optimal health and well being.

Would you agree that a box of rocks weighs more than a box of feathers? It's the same idea. If you'll notice, nobody says, "a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat" When people say "muscle weighs more than fat" they mean by volume.

Hi! I am in Harrisburg and have been enjoying time biking/walking on the greenbelt. I do a monthly membership at the Y but only in winter and the hottest part of summer so right now no membership because spring and fall I'm all about exercise outside. I'm also just getting back into Contra Dancing which is held bi-weekly in Harrisburg... I'm up for whatever. I live in midtown. PM me if you want to meetup!

Sometimes if you damage your hair a bit by coloring it, it can look a bit thicker. (just don't damage it to the point of breakage!) When my hypothyroidism was in full swing, I had horrible hairloss.. even WORSE than my post surgery hairloss and to make matters worse, I have baby fine, limp, oily hair. Having it colored roughed up my hair just enough to help add some fullness and make it appear that I had more than I actually did.
Hairloss post surgery in most cases has NOTHING to do with your diet or supplements.. I'm just like you, I am compliant with my Vitamins, I ALWAYS get my Protein and I also take a fish oil supplement but at about four months out my hairloss started and is now tapering off....If it's gonna come out, it's GONNA COME OUT no matter if you wash your hair, brush your hair or color your hair... it's just gonna happen, so why not do the best you can with what you have left and try to make it look as great as possible?

Only say you're getting your gallbladder removed if you actually ARE.. otherwise, if you ever have to get it removed for real, then that's another cover story you'll have to invent... If you really feel you need a cover story, you could say you're having a hiatal hernia repair...And it's something in the digestive system, so it would require the liquid diet and all that.
Personally, I just didn't say ANYTHING. That left my options open so that when I was ready to, I could tell people. I waited until I had lost 100 pounds and then just casually told people about it... kind of like in an "I can't believe you didn't know" kind of way.

Love to see all these miles (and porch swinging... and hot suit walking) adding up! I didn't rack up anything today.. LOTS of rain and wind. I'm falling behind!!! Going to add a short AM ride tomorrow to try to start catching up. Going to shoot for 15 miles tomorrow!

oooooh, I'm late to the party but I'm in!
I just got a new bike so I'll be logging my biking miles with an aggressive goal for me of 300 miles for the month.
I started on the 3rd so far I'm up to 34 miles so I've got some catching up to do if I'm going to make it to 300!

I drink a LOT before eating.. The few times I've eaten without drinking prior, I was miserable and counting the minutes until I could drink... but when I drink a bottle of Water 15 minutes before my meal, I'm good for over an hour after.
