This picture is of me before and after surgery. This is about 3.5 months after lap band surgery and losting 109 lbs. I am not great at photoshop or photo editing so one picture is taken from a different distance than the other. This is merely to see the difference 109 lbs makes. -
Memorial Day Challenge
GoCubbies79 replied to MollyRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is anyone interested in doing this again this year (2012)? -
My exercise has changed over the last year. At first I was walking 30 minutes about 5 times a week. As time went on I increased the intensity. Right now I am exercising 3-4 times a week. I mix in jogging and walking each with each workout. I am currently able to jog for 12 minutes without stopping. My goal is to run a 5K sometime in May-June.

I was banded March 1, 2011 and have lost 213 lbs. I eat anywhere from 500-700 calories per day. I find it easier to keep my calories down by drinking either water or sugar free drinks with 5 or less calories. I stick to 3 meals per day that consist of 4oz of meat and 1/2 cup of vegetables. I use no oil or fat when cooking my meat or vegetables. I find using the nonstick spray or BBQ grill help to keep the calories down by not having to use oil or butter. Mario

I am in! I was banded on 3/1/2011 and need all the support I can get to stay on course. -
Able to eat too much, so frustrated!
GoCubbies79 replied to Maddie Lynn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you keep a food journal detailing everything you eat each day and keep track of the caloires, fat, Protein, etc? You will be surprised how fast the calories add up. Everyone has had great advise and the food journal is the only other advise I can think of. I was banded on March 1 of his year and still have not had a fill. The Dr feels it is still working and I am continuing to loose weight. Keep positive and great luck to you! -
Memorial Day Challenge
GoCubbies79 replied to MollyRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does anyone else want to keep this going? This has really been great helping me stay motivated. Maybe we can set a new goal of Labor Day? Who else is in? -
I found an excellent Protein bar ar walgreens. It is called pure protein. I go with the chocolate Peanut Butter. It is 200 calories for 1 bar, has 6grams of fat, 16 grams of carbs, and 20 grams of protein. They do get a bit pricey but I mix them in during the week when I dont want anymore egg white for Breakfast.

I try to exercise every day but the past few weeks I have not been able to go as much as I needed. Work is getting crazy busy for back to school. Once it quiets down ill be back out there walking. I set myself a goal of doing a 5k in spring 2012!

Thank you for the kind words on my profile. I really appreciate the support and well wishes. Best of luck to you.
