Thanks Joanne.  I'm very happy with the way things are progressing for me.

I actually do toast the deli thins because it seems to help "hold" the sandwich ingredients a little better.    :-)  I also like the Bagel Thins (toasted as well).   When I first began eating the sandwich and bagel thins I had a pang of guilt, thinking I really shouldn't be eating them so soon after surgery, but Beth gave me the go-ahead so that allayed my fears.  

Nina, Congradulations on your weight loss. Sounds like you are doing great. Deli thins ! I love them and use them all the time. Do you toast them. If not you might want to try it. I know being 5 years out I still do better with them toasted.  Glad to see you posting and look forward to hearing more about your journey. See you lighter. Joanne

 Good afternoon!   Well, 3 months and 9 days post op and things are going great.  Just under 38 pounds lost so far.  

Some days I do seem to be hungry but most days I'm not.  However, I make sure I get in a minimum of 70 grams of protein and at least 850 calories each day.  Still can't get in the 64 oz of water, but I do drink at least 40 oz, which is fine with Beth  :-)   I exercise three times a week, using a recumbent cross trainer for 20 - 30 minutes and the elliptical machines (which I just started last week) for about 8 - 9 minutes at a time. To date, I've only had one incident of food "stuckage" which only lasted about 20 minutes, thank goodness.  I was eating a turkey breast sandwich on a Deli Thin, and I guess I wasn't paying close attention to my chewing.  The last two bites weren't chewed enough and the pain set in.  AAAAHHH!  Since then I have made sure to chew, chew, CHEEEEEEW!  It seems that most protein foods, like chicken, fish, beef agree with my pouch.  I'm very thankful for that.

I plan on continuing to make a positive change in my weight loss and health.  LOVE MY NEW LIFE!!!!!
