They are much better with the 100lbs gone that's for sure. I have issues with my left hip and will need a replacement but I started taking these isagenix joint support pills and man have they made a difference. Little to no pain in my hip and shoulder. It's amazing.
The gas almost killed me. I couldn't believe how painful it was! I set a timer and walked a loop around my apartment every half hour. Feeling great now. Premier protein is my bestie. And soup! I have been eating cream of wheat instead of oatmeal. It's gone down nicely and I add a few shakes of cinnamon for flavour.
Best of luck to us!

I found there were a few rough spots and splinters on the bench, but I've sanded down a spot for you, and I'll keep it warm for the 15th. Optifast was tough, but every night I would have two cups of greens. Sliced cucumber with salt and vinegar, or slices of green pepper, or broccoli cooked with a little horseradish added for flavour. Saved me big time. Drink tons of water to flush out the toxins and after a few days of feeling crappy, all of a sudden you have energy and feel great. I'm in your corner!! Elizabeth ð?¤--

Good morning :)
I think we are going to hibernate today and possibly cancel our plans for tomorrow too depending on the forecast (we are supposed to go swimming again). We did the same thing yesterday.
QOTD: my first car was a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. When it rained you ended up with a swimming pool on the passenger side floor area. It had Nascar stickers on the back window from the previous owner. In high school I got to bop around in a little pickup truck that my grandparents owned... I loved that truck.
Post-op three years and eleven months.
Breakfast - protein bar
Snack - Greek yogurt and blueberries
Lunch - turkey pepperette and cheese stick
Snack - some variation of PB and banana
Dinner - tbd
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Good morning everyone. Today I have a bunch of errands to run and calls to make, then tonight DH and I are going out for dinner and to listen to live music.
QOTD: What was your first car? I had a Chev Impala SS. It would leave everyone else standing when the light turned green. It was like driving a boat, albeit a comfy boat. I cannot imagine parallel parking a car like that now.
The eats today at 4 years 7 months post-op are:
B. Decaf coffee, coffee, coffee
L. Crustless quiche with bacon and cheese
D. Baked Brie with raw veg for dipping
S. Protein latte
Have a great day everyone.

You were quite the athlete. It's no wonder you had trouble with your knees. Do they give you problems now?

I played on 3 baseball teams, did rowing and volleyball. Then my knees got messed up. Had to have surgery on both of them when I was 18/19. And I wasn't even that heavy back then ?
You're on your way. It won't be long now.
