      No real recipe??? Just get the veggiti thing it's an as seen on tv thing, and you take a zucchini and make pasta out of it, and then throw some pasta sauce on top of it stick it in the microwave for 1 - 2 min and eat up!!! Quick, easy and delicious!!! Oh and really good for you too. Will be trying other types at some point but for now the easier the better!!!

      congrats on your upcoming wedding - if that isn't motivation to continue to do well, i don't know what is - you gained alittle, but you worked on taking it off!!!! ups and downs will happen through life - don't ever kick yourself iif/when you might goof, doesn't help anything - it is in the past, and tomorrow is a new start of to a sunny, wonderful day - keep up the good work - kathy

  4. Went for my blood work for my first yearly physical with my primary since my surgery, so it will be interested to see what all that comes back as, and for them to see how much I have done since my surgery.

      Hoping everything comes out great! My 3 month's were good except I need to up the protein and drop the B12 to every other day. So exciting to see all those numbers in the normal range!

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Yeah I am excited to see my glucose and cholesterol #'s down!!! I haven't had any of my vitamins checked since my surgery and I am 6-1/2 months out? So it will be good to know whats up? I am sure I need to up my protein too!!!

    3. BladeFox

      BladeFox

      I know, I can't wait either. Everything at my surgeons office went well. All levels passed, so I can't wait to get it checked at my regular docs office too!

  5. Very TIRED today, didn't sleep good at all last night, mind racing.

    1. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      LOL, I think i would have considered my race from last night a Indy 500 cause it was racing all over the place and fast through everything going on. Everything will be better, just gotta stop letting everything get to me so much!!!

  6. Can't believe it next week is my 5 month post surgery, and I have my first doc appt with my surgeon after all this weight loss!!! I am so totally excited. I am not even going to weigh in till tuesday which is the 5 month day!!! I am so excited to see whats happen in 5 months!!!!

      So glad to know that you are healing up nicely Pupi. I feel like getting in the gym and doing weights but my Dr., says not until 6 weeks. Are you doing any weight lifting?

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Not yet, I need to though cause I don't want arm wings, and I don't want to have skin removal on my arms cause one of my arms from elbow up is all tattood and I don't want to ruin my tattoo, but I am going to talk to my doc as soon at my next appt. and ask cause I know I had to wait it out for a while cause of my incision opening up but I need to start toning too!!!

    1. Ginger Snaps

      Ginger Snaps

      How about your key person taking 2 weeks off and you get all their projects and they fall apart the first day? At least I leave on vacation as she comes back and she can deal with all of it on her own. :)

       

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      @Ginger Snaps, I would freak, but I took 2 days off and today is my first day back and it seems everything that all my jobs that I had were going great friday when I left and now everything has gone to S%#t???

    1. BladeFox

      BladeFox

      Lady, I'm sure you have spoken with your medical team about it. Have they identified what it could be or is it a seasonal cold? Hope you get better soon!!!

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Thanks Blade, I have, I am supposed to go this thursday to get the staples out, and can't wait cause it can't come fast enough. They hurt and just feel awful. I just wasn't aware that all this other stuff came along with having my stomach shrunk down in size? lol It's nuts? Oh well if this is part of it I have to deal with it now, cause it's a little too late to go back now? Not that I would want to.

  19. So for the past 3 days I have worn my pedometer, I forget so much with it, but I have been the past 3 days and in 3 days and just normal everyday walking I have burned over 1700 calories, can't hate that!!!

      Congrats Pupichupi keep up the great work i am during aqua-aerobis five days a week for an hour and it is working and I am feeling good. I just had my 3 month check up yesterday and my surgeon said I was doing awsume and he is so proud of me, who knew how great we would feel after this surgery.

  20. well its looking like im going back to square one again? i ate something that didnt do well with my stomache and i been puking for the last hour??? not been having a good time with eating lately???

    1. BladeFox

      BladeFox

      Gracious! I am so sorry to hear that you are having a tough time pupi. Sometimes it is hard to find the culprit of our challenges, but it only takes one time to swear that you will never do it again. The pain can be devastatingly crippling and debilitating - however, the puking concerns me. I would put in a call to the doctors office or your personal doctor to rule out something more. I read somewhere that long phases of throwing up is not good and could be another sign of something more. Wishing you all the best my friend.

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Thanks blade I really think it was just something I ate cause the rest of yesterday and today I have been fine???

  21. So I went to my doctor to see them about my hernia surgery recovery today and my doctor is very impressed with my weight loss from my bypass and said once I get under 180 lbs he is going to refer me to a plastics doctor to have my skin removal. I have 10 lbs to get under 180, 14 lbs to my goal weight, wow what a year this has been!!! I am super proud of myself and all that I have accomplished!!!

    1. PinkPolkadot619

      PinkPolkadot619

      wow they will pay for the skin removal?!?! very cool

    2. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      My insurance covers it if I have skin irritation and so I do, so I will be dealing with that next!!!

  22. Feeling very happy and blessed I decided to do this surgery, cause last year at this time, I wasn't feeling so happy and comfortable in my body!!!
