Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

So i went out with friends last night. Amazing time. I have had alcohol in the past wine makes me a little tipsy, beer just makes me full... Last night we had a cream type wine and some shots before we went to the bar. OMG I didn't know if I was going to be able to walk down the stairs to the car! I'm such a light weight now. It was a fun tipsy feeling and once I was at the bar I switched to water. Danced for 2 hours and had a blast! One of my friends said I looked like a cute little barbie doll last night. haha made my night!

Kristi,

What kind of shots? and what kind of dance moves does "a cute little barbie" groove to? where you twerking.....ha! glad to see your grabing life by the scruff of the neck and taking it for a ride...

Opinions please! While i have always enjoyed cooking, I now find my creative cooking side is activated since my RNY . Lets face it my healthy food choices outside of this home and what i pack along with me are lets says limited. This mornings breakfast consists of fresh sliced avocado.low fat feta cheese, egg substitute and topped with a peach mango salsa ..... Very tasty !!!! Is any one else going through a cooking Renaissance :-) RJ

I am!!! I just realized that I could very well be a good cook. I've never had to patience to try wholeheartedly before. I was just too distracted by the food and completing the task. It's so much easier to cook for quality not quantity. Amazing.

I know what you mean! before it was speed so i could shove it in my face. Now the quality and healthy nutritional concerns,not to mention the over all taste explosion are job #1 . No bland food for this hombre.

and there was NO twerking by this 45 year old body

Has anyone hear o Pocket Protein? it's a new product out that has been advertised a LOT on the radio station I listen to in the morning. 2 oz and it comes in 20g (80 cals) or 15 g (60 cals) I'm going to buy some this weekend to see how it tastes and how my body reacts. You can find more info on this page. http://pocketprotein.com/

It has no carbs, no sugar, no fats, no gluten, no lactose or caffeine

So tonight when I got home I started to cook dinner. I live in florida so we grill a lot. It is a bit chilly tonight (63 degrees). So I went to my drawer and pulled out my old favorite sweats. The pants fell off. I told my hubby I think the elastic grew in the drawer. Lol....

True story.

P.s. I need new sweats for when it gets fridgid in the 50s.

I am curious to see how much in volume you all can eat per meal now and around how many calories you consume a day. I've noticed an increase and I know that's probably normal, but I don't want to over eat.

I just got done eating dinner and got down 3.5 ounces of pork, two bites of potato. That was a lot for me! I am typically between 800 and 900 calories a day, 75 to 80 grams protein, 70 to 100 grams carbs and 20 grams fat. My nut is happy with all of it but wants my carbs at 100 grams. I am just still full after getting my protein in most days. I log all ny food and find it helps on days like today when my volume felt high for dinner.

How about you?

Well good-luck to everyone above and they way it sounds you have been doing fantastic so far! Remember it's not a race, as much as it is a life time commitment, I'm aiming on 240 lbs, weighed out today at 274.4. Thats 136.6lbs of loss, at 6'6 I'm hearing now that i look great now not to lose no more but let's see how it goes.

That's a hell of a weight loss! Congrats! I only hop to be as successful. I have 79 lbs to lose (dr goal) or 99 lbs for personal goal. I wish u all the best!

You will do it!! I like to go for walks anywhere from 30min to 60 min and I go for bike rides 10-30 miles weather permitting . I have so much energy now that I have to release it somehow. Thankyou for your kind words. You will do it just day by day. Good luck to you

I don't know what to say, except if the temp in Minnesota got up to 50 we wouldn't just be grilling, we would be outside walking or jogging in shorts! Congrats on needing new sweats! I can't wait to buy shorts!

working for mayo clinic I have to travel to rochester Minnesota several times a year. I was supposed to be there last week and am so glad the trip got canceled because friends of mine told me about the minus zero temps. I think I would have died from cold. I was there in january last year and it was 4 degrees one day and I couldnt breath it was so cold.

I'll take my 50s in florida. Lol

I haven't checked my blood sugar since 2 weeks post op. I came across my needles and strips, so I decided to check the level this morning. It was 97! I have not had the morning level be under 148 in over a year! So excited!
