Hi all! I haven't posted in ages...I have de-railed! Been eating holiday junk....and not having a care in the world...Drinking many "drinks" and having a blast....I turned 40 on Christmas Day.....(yah, yah, yah...blah blah blah !rolleyes.gif).......and now...I am afraid to even step on the scale! I sooooo need to get to the gym...move....sweat....and I feel like I need to drink some Protein drinks for like 2 weeks! Sort of a post holiday de-tox! LOL...

Anyone else feel the same way? How did that happen?

With the snow yesterday I did'nt get to the gym. Two hours of pushing the snow blower is exercise right?

I'm with you! Got rid of anything in the house that was not healthy yesterday, going to the gym after work today. Haven't been there for 2 weeks! I actually kind of miss it. Hoping I at least maintained, pretty sure I haven't lost, but have also been ignoring the scale. Happy New Year to everyone.... wishing you much success in 2011!!!

Off topic, yes going to the gym is addictive! Yesterday was a #$%$#%# dealing with the snow storm and doing snow removal; but it was'nt my daily swim. Normally at night I am tired and fall asleep so nicely. Last night was okay but I did'nt have that "good tired" feeling.

Yeah, I had a good ol time during Christmas holidays too I nibbled ,tasted and indulged all my taste buds. I did'nt actually have a regular piece of cake or pie but nibbles add up. Dec 27 I put it all behind me everything leftover was bagged and put in the frezzer for my hubby to enjoy as he likes. I just had to get it OUT OF MY FACE ! I am back to my reality and I am feeling safer sheilded from the temptations by a freezer door and a recent fill.

I did horrible over the holidays. No working out at all and ate so many sweets. I gained 12-14 lbs over the last 2 months! I am back on track now. I also got rid of anything bad in the house. I made a meal plan for the week and did the grocery shopping accordingly. I have already had my work out today. I got it done so early that I may actually have another small workout this evening. I hope this excitement for the new year and new me sticks around for a while! Happy new year and new you everyone!

Yes chocolate is poison. I ate then had a fill on the 30th however I am a scale horder every single day and I gained but now I have lost 6lbs in three days after my fill. I have been cleaning like a mad woman today and havent thought about eating just a Protein Shake this morning with some blueberries in it. I find that berries keep me way full for a long time. Well happy New Year people and onward we struggle day to day. I also found out that chocolate tears up my stomach so bad it really wasnt worth eating. My guts are so sensitive since surgery sometimes when I eat things that kill me I wonder why I bothered.

I love what someone once told me....the band is around our stomachs, not our brains! This was my 1st holiday season with the band and had just assumed I would do fantastic but, being a food addict, I didn't so so well over the holidays either. I grazed, nibbled, and ate for 2 solid weeks. I don't want to step on the scale because even though I know I didn't do as well as I should have, I DID NOT do the damage that I once did and, for me, that is a NSV. If I am up a couple of pounds, I take ownership of it and blame no one else but myself. The past is the past and I am back on track now. I (HOPEFULLY) learned a lesson on how to cope with the holidays for next year but can't look too far beyond day to day. I am proud that today I went to the gym at 5 a.m. and had a healthy, Protein rich Breakfast. That is all I can ask of myself right now. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2011!!!

:) Katie

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
