I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)

WOW!!! You have done an amazing job!!! If you don't mind me asking what is your weekly exercise routine and what does a typical daily intake include for you as far as calories/protein/carbs? I am 3.5 months out and would love to have your success in 9 months or even a years time. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you! Admittedly, I don't really exercise which I suppose is a no-no but I have two jobs and when I'm not working I'm sleeping. I eat about 1200 calories a day, give or take a couple hundred. I exceed my nutrionists goal of 55g of Protein a day. I don't dwell on carbs too much because fruit and veggies have carbs, I just stay away from a lot of starch and sugar. Thankfully sweets make me sick so there's no problem there! I don't pay too much attention to macros, I just make sure to count my calories, keep it reasonable, and plan my "nights out" or treats accordingly.

I've found a good balance, my doctor is thrilled with what I'm doing, and I'm still losing about 2 lbs a week so it seems to be working just fine for me!

OK I've finally decided to be brave and post a couple of photos, apologies they are pretty poor quality as I'm not overly fond of pictures but before was June last year, the latest one is yesterday (I was obviously concentrating on something else in that one ????)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
