I'm Getting The Hang Of This

Oct 28, 2009

I'm just a few days shy of 8 weeks post-op and I think I'm starting to get adjusted to my new lifestyle.  I'm down 50+ pounds and I'm working out Monday through Friday.  I'm doing 45 minutes on the treadmill at 3mph, which comes to a little over 2 miles.  I'm so proud of myself.  I feel so good after I complete my 45 minutes.  I've heard people say that exercise gives you energy but, it's hard for a sedentary person to believe.  I also switched to syntrax nectar protein drinks.  This has made all the difference.  I'm now getting in atleast 69 grams of protein from shakes alone but, I'm also eating protein rich meats and veggies.  I've finally gotten to a point that I know how much food my pouch can take and I don't end up 'over filling' and throwing up anymore.  I'm even able to drink more water.  I hadn't been able to drink really cold water since I had surgery.  I feel great and I'm so excited that I can almost see 199.
