I am sure glad you asked the question.. I know I have had days where I was seemingly more hungry than others an d have wanted something extra. I did ask my surgeon the last time we talked and he said the same thing that yes if your going to work out hard or harder the add more protein .. So I aim for 80+grams now. I was so…

Sleeved on Jan 13, 2015 Sent you an invite!

So here goes from my humble perspective. 1st and formost Tink your worhty of the attention, you have come a long way and part of the journey is confronting the things that scared us that now have made us strong. 2nd as far as the stalker goes. As a retired LE person I will tell you that yes this is very serious. You should…

I finally bought a Vivofit2 with the Heart Rate monitor.. I like everything about it but the HR monitor. I sweat like crazy so it really doesn't work that well. But like some one said I about I use it for my watch as well. Works well with this MFP app as well.. Money well spent so far

Since I have moved I need to find a support group.. Right at the moment however not having any serious issues. Just keeping myself focused to be honest. Working out , eating right, and still reading lots of new ideas here and a few other places...

I like the Premier protein Chocolate shakes. I can use them on the go and yes Ice cold is much better! I use them or the bars right before or after a workout. Great for filling the Protein needs at the end of a day.

Well I like the pure protein bars or the premier protein bars. Both satisfy my need for the protein and the filling the tummy at the right time. I usually use them right after a workout. Or if I am needing of protein at the end of a day.

I had a similar issue the other day when I was working on my truck. I was mounting some side rails and honestly had not turned a wrench or lifted anything heavy since my surgery in Jan. I got light headed and a little nauseated after a few hrs of hard work. Thought maybe blood pressure or dehydration. SO drank more liquids…

Yep! you are gonna do just fine! Hang in there and yes take care of yourself till then. I am happy your taking the next step! Good Luck!

Well! You have so much on your plate right now where to start...lol I would say to you first and formost....BREATHE! lol Your already pefect whole and complete. As far as the Job goes they will be lucky to have you and I am sure you will flourish in your new digs. Just think your life is truly changing for the better. Now…

I have been able to do that since I signed up. But I guess some do some dont.. I know IOS has issues from time to time...lol

I got one of those for Christmas! Havent used it yet. But I am gonna...lol

Good for you Jan! I too was so happy to be able to get back in the water. I was expecting a longer wait based on what I had heard here and other places.. When I was given the green light to swim again it was like YEAH! Anyway I swim everyday for the most part and have added bicycle riding again too. Had mine done Jan. 13th…

I do not wear my my fit bit thing to the gym as at they YMCA they have their own thing for that. I come here and log my time into my swimming. When I ride my Bike I use the Cylometer app that also automatically downloads here as well. Now when I am walking all over the place I wear my fit tracker..

Yeh I couldn't ride down the driveway and back at first. Lol. Back up to 15 miles and soon back to my 40 a day I hope. If my tush can take it my legs are ready to go.

You can add me too! 4 weeks out for me!

So for the record! I tried the sushi with out the rice and yep I am a happy camper. Went to the local Smiths store and the guy was just putting out some fresh stuff and I asked him about no rice sushi. He smiled and said sure here you go these have no rice... Sure enough. Took them back to my hotel room and yep! I am in…

Yep the words are in the picture! WOW! Congrats!

Hey wonderful news! Wishing you a successful journey!

Nkac1980, Hey thanks for the idea. I may ask if my little sushi place can do that as well. I would rather avoid the rice at all cost. But didnt want to not share the experience of the sushi place.. Right this minute I could live without it. But my friend got me hooked on it when I was balking at the idea of sushi...lol Now…

Theada my dear as usual your are there to give out the wisdom for everyone to hear and see. You beat me to the comment about haters just hate and hurtful people just hurt. The old saying miserly loves company! Well I have replaced it with a new old saying " Love loves company too!" surround yourself with those people and…

Hey Pawoodhull!! Great you at least tried one out and found out how easy they are to ride. You may try Craigs list or even see what kind of deal the bike shop may make for you. Sometimes they know some one who wants to upgrade and you might find yourself falling into a sweet deal. Sure hope it works out for you as I know…

Well 4 oz is what I measure out now so there is no guess work. The Surgeon. Had me do this little test. Put 8 oz in a cup and eat till I was full. STOP! He said that is the size of your stomach. As long as you do not try to put more than 4 oz in I would never have to worry about stretching the tummy out or have any issues.…

LOL Just have to laugh here. Be as harsh as you wish... Didnt say I was gonna just said it wouldnt kill me. And Yeh I have followed his little advise to a T so to speak with the little exception of bread. He disagrees with what the Nutritionist harped on for 12 weeks of class I had.. But I admit only a little bit goes…

Interesting as that happened to me when I was on WW years ago.. Lost 100 lbs and yeh all of a sudden I was being given all these kudos and work opportunities.. At first I was embarrassed and then I was mad.. I hadn't changed who I was just lost a bunch of weight..Then hey used it to my advantage.. I will say this having…

Yep I am a month out too now... YEAH!!!!! Oh and I can only eat about 4 oz at any sitting... I am actually thankful for that.. I shared a small Pizza the other day. Could only eat 1 yep thats right ONE PIECE...lol I laughed with my date and said you know before this surgery I could have eaten a large all by myself with no…

So my new found freedoms just within this month have been nothing less than life changing. From the minute I started this journey this time around I found my focus and my resolve. It was a deeper experience that I could have possible imagined. Losing weight has only been the extra added bonus. But being able to get out…

Cannot say that I have been to be honest. been busy with workouts and cooking cleaning...lol I do have to 2M/440 on in the car when I am driving. My Dad and I are headed to Yuma next week for the hamfest. I do have the HF rig hooked up and on but I am not always on it. When I do I hang out on 17 meters!

AC7NJ I am assuming that is your Ham call ? K6RRS here nice to see some one else on...lol
