Hi everyone! Wow has life been a whirlwind. I am starting a new job on Monday, which I am psyched. I joined Golds gym this week, which I am loving how I am feeling.... I have been having difficulty with some foods, however my little cuisine art processor is my best friend. Yesterday I was able to push through just over 2 miles, and burned 510 calories. It felt so good to do that. I am so excited with the changes I am seeing and feeling with my body..... When I lost weight before, I had saved my "skinnier" clothes and am now able to wear a good number of them. The other day I was the girl with the apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur! Lol.... Hope you all are enjoying this journey!

Anne-Cuse, I really need to use my processor more. I keep trying to chew things down and it just ain't happening! Can't hold down any chicken/fish/beef/shrimp. Blah. :/

Stalling here too' date=' RhondaWilliams, after only 38 lbs... Maybe the exercise I started is slowing down muscle loss? Hope so. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

I was so disappointed this a.m. when the scales didn't move ...tried to get in Protein today and extra Water so "fingers crossed" that the scales will move this week! :)

I know what you mean the Protein is horrible. I've tried the protein shots' date=' the high Protein Drinks, protein pre made shakes all of it taste bad. I get very little protein in and im

trying. I don't know what to do.[/quote']

I went to the GNC store an git the whey Protein Powder (no flavor ) an put the powder in a fruit smoothie in the morning. It barely has any taste an is tollerable. I go to costco an get real frozen strawberries n pineapple chunks an use Water instead of milk so its not real creamy an that's been working well. Even my husband drinks em with me every morning. I can attach a picture of the protein in interested.

the stalls are awful!!! they play mind games on you like your doing something wrong!! I guess my weight loss is already slowing down to about 1-2 pounds a week. I hate that being only 7 weeks out. I know it is strictly because the only exercise I am getting mostly is house cleaning and taking care of my 3 year old grandbaby. I joined the Y but hate going by myself and I don't have a vehicle till husband gets off work and by then I have the baby. so I think the Y is not going to work out. I will just have to try and invest in a treadmill

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
