Thanks everyone for the support and encouraging words! D1, to answer your question, I haven't been doing a lot of calorie counting at this point, just the usual of trying to get in enough Protein. It's been a challenge most days to get the protein and Water intake up where they should be-I get full so fast, but things are getting easier every week. I don't eat much fruit or veggies, mostly because after I eat protein, there's no room! But I do get in the occasional fruit cup (in juice) or a few prunes. I started out doing a little cardio (treadmill or elliptical 2-3x/week), but that got boring, so now I'm doing Chalean Extreme, by Beachbody. It is mostly strength training, but incorporates cardio 2x/week.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. How soon did you start working out

[goldenraisin214 142]

I was cleared to start cardio about a month out, I think--weights took a couple of weeks longer...have you already had the surgery?

carbgrl--I forgot to reply to you earlier--hey twin! it looks like our goals are pretty similar as well...
