Slimming Down Steve

I'm sorry to hear your struggling! I hope things turn around real soon for you.

I've never been that type. Guess I'll stay with the dark side. They have sugar free Russel Stover's pecan delights!

I'll be the devil on your shoulder saying; TRY SOMETHING NEW, but good for you.

Glad he's running because my knees aren't going to let me.

Burn baby burn.

I'm trying to maintain the muscle mass, so protein is really my main priority.

Look again (refresh)

Thank you, had to fill it out my tablet. Wouldn't work on my phone.

I put in what it would allow. But my stats are blank and for some reason it won't let me change them.

I've been trying to figure out how. Under my avatar I see the area, but when I go to put my info in it won't allow me to. Is there another way?

Family can dish out the criticism!

We're in mom! But you will have to share the crayons!

I was hoping you would like that.

Just kidding! UNLESS YOUR RICH!

Depends, are you rich?

No more pains at all from surgery. Still not losing weight since released from the hospital. Under 600 calories a day. At least 60 to 70 grams protein a day. No sugars or carbs yet. All vitamins and minerals are being taken daily. I just have to wait till the scale starts slip sliding down again. I hope everyone a great day as well. You got to just love how they shave us for surgery.

It's beautiful, bright sunshine but cold out here in Tennessee. I couldn't stand it anymore, so my wife and I decided to go to Walmart and walk around some other stores. I was still wearing my 44" jeans and they were loooooooooose on me. My wife asked me to go and try on some new jeans. Tried some on. 38" is still a tad tight but got them, paid for the jeans. Wore the jeans out. Felt really good to see the difference. Little victories are nice.

I gotta the first time.

Bitchy personality is more like it!!!!!! And yes she's nuts I do believe.

I'm not sweating the small **** anymore. It was just the timing that got me. I'm feeling good this morning as far as the RNY goes. My back pains is another story.

More like 290, she a big one. I come from both sides of the family of very obese individuals.

I tried 1 piece of black forest ham on day 5. Chewed to a pulp, went down fine. The next morning at 1am I ate one more with no problems. So I woke up this morning after fasting last night for labs this morning with my PCP office. I explained what I had done and explained that my surgeon was made aware that I ate lunch meat already. He said some people advance and heal faster than others. He said I'm at least craving protein. He asked if I've been getting all my protein in each day. I told him yes as I am. He said he will confer with my surgeon at the end of the day. He said try a few pieces of turkey or chicken is what he would recommend first. So on the way home I went to Walmart and bought some chicken lunch meat. Came home and eat 2 pieces well chewed, wated for 20 minutes. No growling, no distress just totally quiet. So an hour later I ate 5 slices that I weighed the meat out to be 2oz.. 1.5 hrs later I'm still great.

Good morning and thank you. I've always been hard to bruse and fast healer.

Next morning update. I had no signs and no dumping from eating the 2oz of chicken, so it's on the menu today. I plan on 2oz for lunch and dinner and that will be 20grams of protein. Plus I'll have a breakfast shake with 30 grams. In-between these times I will have a cup of Fair Life skim milk with 13grams of protein. Total of 63grams protein.
