So, I started the gym today. I get a free year at the heart center at our hospital, so I'm finally taking advantage of it. So far today, with the speed walking I did around school after working out, then shopping/walking all day with my bff, I've got a net calorie of -22. Ha! I don't know that I've ever burned 6-700 calories a day!

Hey guys! I just signed up to be trained by a personal trainer 2 days a week! I'm so excited! He's worked with several bariatric patients and will personalize the workouts to my fitness level! I am curious about all of your nutrient recommendations from your surgeons. I've not been given a set calorie limit. Only 2oz servings and 70g Protein a day. What are your surgeons recommending?

Yay!

I also have no calorie limit. Basically I was told to only focus on getting the 60 protein for for the day. Which if eating high protein foods at meal times, is going tomes keep those calories, fat, and carbs lower. Although if we're going to be working out, we need some carbs. :) like today I've only really had 2 meals cause I haven't been hungry, but my protein is at 53 grams. I hate 2 lunch meat roll ups for Breakfast pre workout, and then tried the kids steak at applebees for a late lunch. Haven't been hungry yet again tonight. But I'll eat something before bed.

Help....9 weeks postop and pain under rib cage.

Sarah, if it isn't at that deepest incision site, and it doesn't sound like it is, I'd call my surgeon's office. It could be gas or a million other things but it's always best to make that call and get checked out.

Thinking about sneaking a small glass of wine in tonight on date night. I was given the okay and I'm not really a habitual drinker. I'm a little reluctant to ask if anyone has had a little alcohol since surgery just because every forum I've read with the same topic is filled with indignation and it's really annoying to read. This has been been a great group so far so I just wanted to run by you guys what you thought? I figured I'd have a few sips to Celebrate tonight ..thoughts?

I was told by my dr no alcohol for a year, but I actually gave up alcohol all together. Last drink was July 23, 2013 lol I started trying to lose weight last year and it knew alcohol was just a waste of calories. Just my choice :)

How much was the fitbit? You'll have to let me know how you like it. I've been thinking about getting one or something like it for a little while know. I just use my phone for now, but if it's in my purse or not on me it obviously doesn't track. It's a Samsing app, and pretty great, but I'd love something more accurate.

I love mine! It's a constant reminder for me to get in some exercise, even if it's just a walk around a few blocks. I aim for 10,000 steps a day, but some days I don't get that in which case my goal is also to get no less than 5000 steps a day.

That is weird! Is it a phone or ipad? My ipad app does so much more than my phone app.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
