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

Just got home from my 2nd post op appointment I'm down 57lbs from the very beginning... Now weighing in at 218lbs. 18 more pounds and then ill be the hundreds oh my gosh I don't remember the last one I weighed this its been a few years... Holla so excited !!! One more week then back to work Monday... I was enjoying my summer recover vacation but gotta make that money back

AWESOME GIRL!!!!!

Has anyone noticed they aren't as hot natured post op? I used to be the one nobody would ask if it was hot because I was ALWAYS hot. Now my cold... my nose gets cold... my fingers get cold.. I'm sooo not used to this!

For some reason my crazy mother thinks that this surgery has made me allergic to gluten. She keeps buying me things that are gluten free and I keep telling her its not the gluten, its the carbs. She was shocked when I told her I couldn't have bread, pasta or rice. Hopefully she'll figure it out soon but I'm kinda finding it funny for the moment. Lol.

I certainly not sweating like I used too which is very nice. Lol. Summer isn't so oppressive. But being really cold can be a sign of iron deficiency. Have you had your blood checked?

I'm always somewhat anemic and am tested two to three times a year. It is a lifetime thing but never like it is now. Before, my feet would get cold but that's about it. Fortunately I just had a hot flash / personal summer moment so I'm warm again. LOL!

had to laugh at a change i noticed yesterday. in the shower and wsshing my legs and ( without my glasses) noticed a large bump on the back of my calf....oh sh*t!!! i quickly examined the other calf ......same large bump...double sh*t!!!!!.....then it occurred to me' date=' those are lean toned calf muscles from all tje walking, havn' t seen.toned muscle on me for so long forgot what it looked like....sometimes im such a moron :-)

oh! i did find a plain greek yogurt at Target "FAGE" brand 0% fat 7 grams of carbs and 18 grams of PROTEIN....Good stuff.

I use MyFitnesspal for calorie / protein tracking and Runkeeper for my exercise route tracking. You can also add an exercise to MPF and it changes your left over expendable calories accordingly. I'm very satisfied.
