Lauri D.
9 weeks out
May 25, 2010
I am now 64 days out from surgery. I am walking 40-60 minutes per day for exercise. I have a regular routine and am very comfortable in my routine. Every few days I add a new food to my diet if I feel like something new. I no longer live to eat, I eat to live.The usual breakfast is Dannon Greek Yogurt - 12 protein points.
Lunch varies... today I had 1 1/2 egg salad (light mayonnaise) and a piece of toast.
Supper - 3 oz of sirloin steak on the grill with 1/4 cup potato salad.
Evening snacks - Fat free chocolate pudding snack pack, 1/2 cup watermelon, and one sugar free/fat free fudgecile.
I don't usually have that many snacks in an evening, but I was at Bingo and had the pudding at half time. I ate the melon and fudgcile later at home. I have 50-50 caffine/decaf coffee in the morning at work. 5 oz. of water in the morning with my vitamins. I drink 11.5 oz of muscle milk per day with Upcal D. And I drink water throughout the day.
I've recently cleaned out my closet and found that 80% of the clothes no longer fit me... this is a good feeling. I went shopping for some summer clothes.
I am happy with my choice to have this operation and my new lifestyle. Would I do it again... in a minute! To date I have lost 42 pounds!!!
