I think in time you will find that food is not the evil enemy and that you will be able to tolerate most of the foods that you enjoyed in your previous life. The key is you now have a great tool to help portion control. Don't ruin this tool. It is ok to enjoy some special occasions with food, but remember the balance between quality and quantity.

You are only three weeks out so it is way to early, but a year from now just keep the to Q's in mind and you will find it all works out.

 

Good luck.

SPECTACULAR!!!!!

Sorry I missed it Monica. I have not been on this site much lately. I hope whatever was wrong is right now. Let me know if I can do anything for you....you are the best!

Don't worry it will all work out. I would call a few times a week and see if there are cancelations. This is a long journey so don't let these potholes ruin the ride.

Everything will work for the best.

Good luck!!!!

sounds pretty normal if you follow exactly the program tells you.

 

Be prepared that there could be a bump or two in the road at some point, but from my understanding you sound like you are out of the woods.

 

Stick to it!

Congrats!

sorry, I don't remember much from that phase, but I did eat lots of tune, boiled chicken and poached eggs during one of the early stages.

 

 

Amazing.

Very inspirational.

Can't beleive how time flies, I remember you being pre-op.....

 

Congratulations!

Good luck on the 1st, and 2013 will be VERY exciting!

I usually run first thing in the morning for 3-6 miles (depending on time). Most of the time I only drink water before hand, but if my energy is low I will start off with a protein bar.

 

Are you pushing your distance to far too soon? This could be the root of the problem.

Good luck and I am very interested to hear what other have to say.
