To day has to be the best day I have had since my surgery. I went to my Endocrinologist to day my A1C was 7.1 down from 9.8 just 3 months ago and with no Med's at all. The best part is they are going to let me go 6 months before my next appointment WITH no Med's. My A1C hasn't been that low in 20 years . Blood pressure was 114/54 with no Med's Cholesterol was 145 . So weight lose surgery does work Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I meet with my new trainer tomorrow. He's had WLS and is now a gym rat so he understands what I need the last guy was in it just for the money. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Kids are the reson most of us go though WLS. What a great feeling it is to have them in our life's and watch them grow up Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

23 lbs s is a good start when you get to a gym you'll really start to lose even more

There are other ways of getting your protein. It's helps to drink it but you can get it though meat fish fruits. Have you tryied Quest bars 20 + g protein no sugars low in carbs is another way you can get protein . Talk to your nutritionist they should be able to help you

Congrats

I love her recipes she has some really good ones Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Sorry things didn't work out for you but hay what good is WLS if your not around to enjoy it. Someone said second time around is a charm right keep your spirits up you will get your chance to join the losing team. Just trying to cheer you up you sound like you need it. You have a great doctor that did what was best at the time of surgery Hang in there it will be all right Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I was just told not to worry about calories so much and worry about getting my Protein in. Don't go nuts I run around 550-800 cals a day. Every meal should have 2 oz of protein and 1 oz ov veggies ( that's what my nutironist says) check with your doctor Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

No your doctor will say 60-100g of protein daily. I know it's hard but you have to try Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Let's see if the pictures come up now Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Congrats your surgery date will be here before you know it Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

That means they are healing. Slap don't scratch. And don't pick it. That's what I was told by my Orthopedic surgeon when he put my leg back together with 300 + stitches. And my tattoo guy says the same thing SLAP IT not hard. Works for me don't know if it will work for you Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

My doctor says 60-100 g Protein a day RIGHT in the perfect world yes in my world 60g is pushing it. As far as exercise I was not allowed to do any ab work outs till I hit the 6 week mark and no heavy weight lifting. Your doctor knows what's best for you ask him/her. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12
