Wow it has been 13 and a half months since my surgery.I am doing great. Still losing weight but it has slowed way down. I am lucky if I lose a half a pound a week.
some weeks I lose nothing. But I did not gain over the holiday so that is a good thing.
I need to bump up the exercise a little as it is winter and cold out and i dont get out. I do carry wood now and shovel so that counts for something. i will do my wii in a bit for at least another 30 minutes
I find that now i am thru the honeymoon period that i can eat mostly everything but i eat now in moderation as my stomach does not accomedate large amounts of food. I can go out to eat and order things that either i can bring home or can eat more of like salads and shrimp. good standbys. Trying to be compliant it is not hard but got to learn to sit and eat and not graze. Being alone during the day makes it easy to graze.
Most people think that after rny you cant eat anymore or socialize or have fun. but some of that is just at the beginning when we are learning all the good habits that we have forgotten along the way thru our life.
My gram always said to slow down and chew. No drinking with meal. Eat the meat first. and lay off breads. Dessert was an occasional thing and never rewarded supper with dessert.
Wow how right she was. I do not crave carbs like i use to. I was such a bread person. Maybe not eating them has made me not want them. A loaf of bread goes bad in our house now but now we drink two gallons of milk a week instead of one.
Staying compliant is one thing that i want to do for 2009!!!!
I have met some wonderful people here and hope and continue to meet more.
Thanks all for listening to me when i need help and i hope i can help someone too.
