Hmmm...I haven't thought of the water with lemon.  I'll have to give that one a try tomorrow. I normally go out for lunch, so that will save me a lot of money if I drink lemon water with my lunch!!!   I didn't get my exercise in tonight, so don't feel too bad about yesterday. 

I also am going to try the SF Russell Stovers candy because I have the same problem with the wanting something sweet after meals.  I crave them after lunch and dinner. 

I have fallen in love with Talipia, that's what I had for lunch today!!! 

Good luck with your exercise and dinner tonight.  Talk to you tomorrow.

i will be 6 months post op on the 9th, and I am doing pretty good! I have lost 103lbs so far, and I went from a size 26/28 to a 16/18! I am in a large top too from a 3X! I feel really good, I have been taking Iron and a B12 sup. and it seems to be working fine, because I have a lot of energy now. The biggest problem is, I can run, but when I do, all the extra skin is starting to run the opposite direction!

My greatest accomplishment as got to be that I was in the Largest size Lane Bryant carries, and now I am in the smallest they carry! I actually went into the store and tried on the 14/16's and they fit!!!Such a great feeling. On the other hand it was also nice to fit into the jeans that I saved from High School, but I am almost shrunk completely out of them!

It won't be 6 months for me until the 16th....but I feel like I'm doing well. I have lost 80lbs to date and will be so thankful to never see them again!

On another note....I am beat! I cannot keep my eyes open, I have no energy whatsoever. My Dr gave me a script and I have to go for bloodwork next week and have an appointment the following week. This is very frustrating, hope all my levels are ok.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer and working towards their goals!

Hey Sabrina!
Glad you got your exercise in yesterday.  I made excuses about doing laundry and chose not to do my exercise. BUT today is a new day and Im feeling a little better.

Thanks to Gina (Butterfly618) sharing some info with me...I am going to try to eat more protien this week and see if that helps. Ive been trying to cut the carbs some, but I have this need for a bite of sweet after I eat dinner. I solved that by getting a mixed bag of SF Russell Stovers candy. I find one or two pieces does the trick for me.

Luckily, I dont have a problem digesting it! Yay! LOL 

I will get my exercise tonight by starting to straighten up the back yard for our party on Saturday. Ive already taken out some fish (almond crusted talipia) from the freezer for dinner and I'll make steamed broccoli to go with it.

Im trying to drink lots of water with fresh lemon slices to help get rid of any excess water too.

We'll beat this darn it!!

Mary - I'm still right here with you girl!!!  I was about to PM you and I say that you had posted this and decided to respond here instead.  I'm still up the 6 lbs from my cheesecake and M&Ms binge.  Ridiculous!!!!  Some of it has to be fluid!!!!  Anyway it has helped me to increase (more likely really start) my exercise routine.

I made it 30 minutes on the Wii yesterday.  Walking, aerobics and hola hoop.  Boy, that hola hoop will wear you out!!!  I did it twice and did around 150 loops in 2 minutes each time.  I worked up the biggest sweat from that!!!

Let's just continue to stay in touch.  WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Fear not M.S.W. ! ! The Research and Statistics Queen is here:

RNY is considered successful if at the 6 month post op mark, the patient has a 50% or better EWL (excess weight loss).

Now that may  not be your surgeons definition of success, but industry -wide, that is the mark to meet.  So buck up baby! I think you are doing beautifully!!

P.S. Hot weather still gives me kankles...but I am celebrating them, CUZ NOW I CAN SEE THEM AND ACTUALLY TOUCH THEM WITH MY HANDS!!

when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
