losing-if you come to boston, let me know!!!! Woohoo..what a great goal. I should do it with you. The thought of it horrifies me.

How do you like those caramel latte shakes? That sounds like a flavor I would like. Do they have much of an aftertaste?

oh the thought of it terrifies me ... SOOO horribly badly bad .. (LOL - how is that for awesome grammar?? ;)) but i want a really long term goal ... i have my short term and my 'ultimate goal' set, i want something to really look forward to...

the shakes are simply devine and if i could get away with it, i'd drink 5 a day and that's it ... no solids what so ever ... :heh: i throw it in the freezer and it's just like a 'bux frapp!! MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm (i do not have any aftertaste). however, they are difficult to find ... in fact, the only place i have found them is Atkins online or thru Amazon ($40 for a case of 24)

I live in the Boston area and we have those shakes in Stop and Shop supermarket. I'm not sure, but I think they also have them at Shaws. GNC has them too. PS ...They really ARE awesome. I'll have to try your freezer thing, that sounds really good.

Thanks Losing..I am going to check them out.

Cindylu-what Stop and Shops have you seen them in. I know I saw the chocolate flavors but have not seen the caramel latte. Just curious. I am in the Boston/Quincy area.

I've bought them at Stop and Shop in Norwood and Walpole. They are over with the slimfast shakes by the Vitamins. Good luck.

I was going to go for run 2 of week 3 but my knees are still achy and my heel spur is really bothering me tonight. I'll do it tomorrow. So that means I'll have to do run 3 on sunday. Thats ok though, I may be repeating week 3. Its a toughy!

I'm feeling pretty good today, so I'll be back at it after work. That means that this week is only 2 runs, but I'll do 3 next week at the same week, because I'm really afraid of week 4!

gahhhh ... today's run was torture. it just couldnt be over fast enough!

oddly enough, i had my fastest 'average' since the program. 4.0MPH (i keep typing MPG..lol *dork*). my walks were 3.7 - 4.0 and my runs were 4.4 - 4.7. i guess i thought if i ran faster it would be over quicker ... (refer to *dork* comment above :))

so i am finished for the week. i am definitely running week 2 again next week. i dont think my body can take week 3 quite yet.

after running, i did some leg / ab work and LOTS of great stretching. ahhhhhh stretching. i need to take more time to do it. i think it would really help my legs. my calves get so fatigued when i run. hell, I get so fatigued when i run still. but its better than it was 3 weeks ago ... ;)

great job everyone...

and whos - dont feel guilty for taking a day off. i am going home this weekend and probably resting the entire weekend! maybe after 2 days of rest i will be up for week 3????? hmmmmmmm....

oh yeah ... stupid question about the podcast for week 3...

you know how on week 1 he says 'get ready to start your run - GO' ... he doesnt really say GO on week 2 and i miss that cause i dunno when to actually start running (heaven forbid i go an extra few seconds).

does he say GO on week 3?

<mentally preparing for week 3>

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
