Topic: RE: Liquid Intake???
Hi Gayle....Oh boy! Our doctors have told us that women become very fertile after WLS! I guess it is true.
As long as the tea and coffee you are drinking is decaf, it is counted as a water. Caffeinated beverages are a diuretic, so they tend to not hydrate you at all.

Hi Kathryn,
You are doing just fine. We all find that posting our meal plan here is a big help. It really keeps me on track. It also makes you very accountable! Just take one day, one hour, one minute at a time. Remember, your surgery is only a tool, and you must change behaviors. It is so hard, but I know you can do it.

Lady Catherine,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. It is such a hard thing to go through. They are such a part of your family and your life. Take care, and try to do something good for yourself today.

Thanks for sharing your success at the meetings. It is encouraging to me. I feel that my initial recovery is over and I am able to eating more, I am already afraid that I am going to start up old habits and behaviors. It is nice to hear you and David talk about your successes. I have set a goal to journal my intake for the next three days. Small but acheivable, I feel like I am sneaking in too many things that I don't need, like peanut butter, Gold Fish crackers etc.
Thanks, Kathryn
p.s. I am doing my best to figure out my way around the OH web site.

Yesterday went well until I got home. My parents were in Montreal (my favorite city in the world) and brought us back croissants. Holy God they are good.... and I ate my for dessert :( Apparently I have a weakness for pastries that begin with the letter 'C'. Need to keep working on my parents to NOT bring me food i guess!!
So todays plan
Breakfast: Cottage Cheese w. grapes and almonds
Lunch: Steak w. a scoop of chili in hopes of keeping it moist in the microwave
Dinner: Sausage with onions and pepper
Snack: I have baby bell at home in case I get hungry before dinner. i have been getting hungry after the gym as of late, and dinner never seems to be ready when I get home
Activity went alright yesterday. Hit the gym and tried another run. Another half mile before I couldn't work through the pain anymore. Was bad enough to wake me up last night and still hurts today. I think running is on hold until I see the doc @ the end of Sept :( Going to try to walk at lunch and work through some of it.

Topic: RE: August Exercise Challenge, week 3
This was a great week for me. Lots of training for my run and a great run on Sunday to honor fallen soldiers in Maine. I had 690 min.
