18 Months

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:32:00 -0700

Went in for my 18 month check in. Late in the afternoon, and drank tons of water that day, so weighed in at 156 *shrugs* Labs all look good, and I'm on maintenance since we're working on getting pregnant.

Do not get me started on the nightmares of hormones and infertility! ...

July 12, 2007 - 7 months post op. Down 80lbs. Now, on 7/21/07, I'm down 85lbs. I had my 6 month post op on 7/9/07, and everything is going well. Got the okay to add carbs back in to my diet. So, been doing that, and it's fueled the body to ...

5 Months Post-Op

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:18:00 -0700

Tuesday was my 5 month post-op date. Fred (my bastage of a scale) still hasn't dropped below 195lbs, but I do have to admit, I've been doing some late night snacking. Time to get back on track. I had a graze day, at work today. Mostly protein, small handful of peanuts, ...

My Eating Schedule Now.. (More or Less)

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 17:39:00 -0700

Well, at my 3 month recheck, the PA said it was time to kick the shakes and powders, unless absolutely needed. So, my protein intake was upped to 11-12oz of protein, divided among my meals & snacks for the day (so 77g of protein minimum). My day currently looks like: ...

April 28, 2007 - Graceada Park, Modesto, CA I'm doing my first walk, since I was in elementary school, and I'm so excited, I can't hardly stand myself. I'm busily emailing all my relatives, working on raising donations for this cause. The March of Dimes is like St. Jude's to me, ...

I hit 199 today, for my 34th birthday!! Okay, coronary over. But I've very excited. I haven't weighed 199 since I was 20. My brother also updated my pictures for me, so I got to post my 4 month post-op pics, as well. So, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to me!

Some Things I've Learned:

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 15:18:00 -0700

Lessons I've learned so far, at just over 14 weeks: 1. Measure everything 2. Only eat what you feel like out of your MEASURED portion 3. Protein first, last, and always (veggies and fruit are nice, but protein will help you keep your energy level and your HAIR!) 4. Do NOT miss your vitamins 5. ...

Why the scale isn't my friend...

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 17:11:00 -0800

I'd love to say the scale lies.. but it doesn't. It just refuses to say anything at all. Most mornings, I resist the temptation to step on and see if any weight has come off. But on the rare mornings, I can't overlook it lurking in the corner of the ...

What My Day Looks Like for Eating & Drinking

Sat, 17 Feb 2007 14:25:00 -0800

So many ask how we get all our liquids and protein in.. I got to thinking, maybe I should post what my day looks like. Maybe it will help someone else figure out a plan that works for them. This is my day, at 10 weeks, post-op. 7AM - Orange Crystal ...
