6 Months Out

Hey everyone,

   I am six months out from my surgery, which was April 30th! I am down 66 pounds and feeling great. The scale has taken a stall, but I am trying not to get myself worked up about it! I go for my labs next week and my follow up with the surgeon on the 13th. I am in the process of training for my 1st half marathon. I am 2 weeks down and 14 to go! I am super excited and feel that the training is going well. I ran in a 5k (3.1 miles) this past weekend and finished in 34:50. I was happy with my time and going to try and PR my next race, which is Thanksgiving morning. 

I am wondering what people are normally eating at 6 months out. I am getting a bit bored with what I have been doing and would love to switch it up a bit! Also, I would love to see the scale move soon :)

Thanks for any advice/help!

Congratulations! 

I'm a couple days from my 6 months and I totally understand the "getting bored" with food feeling.  I tend to be one who will eat the same thing day after day because I know the nutritional values and what will keep me within my caloric/protein goals.  This past weekend, I tried to venture out on my cooking.  I found some good recipes on the following websites:

I've also been eating the Oscar Mayer Carving Board meats.  They are in the lunch meat section.  The roast beef is better than I could have imagined!  They also have ham & turkey.  They are right off the bone.  I eat them by themselves because I don't have to cook & they are high in protein.  Double win!

And, as always, bariatric foodie and eggface have amazing recipes.  My mom (who is a whopping 120 without WLS) LOVES Nik's recipes.  She's been sharing them with her coworkers at the hospital....lol.

Hope this helps!
