The Spicy Life
Feb 03, 2009
Its really funny how my taste has changed since the surgery. I have always loved spicy foods but I also loved sweets. Well spicy is my new friend. I love everything hot and lucky for me my pouch seems to like it too. I try not to make a habit of always eating spicy but love to treat myself to something on the wild side a few times a week.
Mt. Olive Jalapeno Dill Spears, aside for the sodium these are a great low cal, low fat free snack. I think I am in love.
Treadmill Hell
Feb 03, 2009
So a few weeks back I started working on this Couch to 5K program with hopes that I would be in shape to do my first post-op 5K by mid May. Even though my body is way pissed at me (I do miss Ibuprofen) I have continued to push through but today the treadmill took its vengeance out on me and commenced to beating my ass like I had stole something. It was truly a sight to see. It was all most like someone else was controlling the speed of the treadmill other than me.

4 week status
Dec 23, 2008
Well tomorrow will make 4 weeks since I had m RNY. Its been a great ride full of ups and downs with food. I like to say that I have followed the Doctors rules really well and stuck to the food I could have. I have only gotten sick 2 times so I say its been a good ride. I also got my official weight today. I am down 33lbs in 29 days.
Night out on the town,
Dec 21, 2008
Well I had my first night out on town Saturday. It was my brother in law's birthday and me and my wife were invited to come out and help him celebrate. He wanted to have dinner at the Bonefish Grill. That is one of my favorite places to eat but you can imagine that I was a little concerned about eating out around others. Me and my wife both have had the surgery so we have to really plan what we eat and where we eat. When we got there the drinks were flowing and appetizers were smelling good. I had 2 pieces of Bang Bang Shrimp as a appetizer and decided to order the Dorado (Mahi Mahi) as my main coarse. As I ate my food I thought to myself "why am i eating a new food out in public?" but everything went well. I stop eating well before I too full and got my left over boxed up before anyone was the wiser. I was excited, I didn't over eat, I didn't get sick and I didn't draw attention to myself. I would say it was a good night.
