I had my RNY on 10/29. I could definitely use some more support and friends. Feel free to add me.

I'm going forth into 2016 with a sense of BOLDNESS!!!! I want to be Bold in my faith, determination to succeed, my relationships. No more shrinking violet for me. I'm taking the bull by his horns and steering my own life from now on!!!

Look at this tho. Nice and even.

Lol. Time doesn't fly. It drags. Evening of day 4 of 13. And feel like I'll never make it. It's crazy. Still have to cook for my son and 70 yr old mom. I just want to sleep so tired just want to hide in my room.

I went today and bought measuring cups and spoons, strainers, a digital scale, some more shaker cups and I priced some shaker/blender makers. Really like the magic bullet and it's only $40. Not bad. Let me know if you find any gadgets that you like as well.

How many grams in an ounce? Is that a silly question?

Kim how exciting yours is one day before mine. How are you tolerating the two week strict liquid diet? Does your surgeon make you do that?

What does "smooth out " mean?

What do you mean digital food scale?

I did it. Went to Italian party for bros 40th and came home to broth. Was told I was grouchy. So I excused myself. Said I wasn't feeling well and left early. Tomorrow I'm sitting down with my family I live with and we're having a heart to heart. I can't keep cooking all the same foods for them as before and not suffer huge…

This is after my lap band 2009-2015. Getting a RNY on 10/29/15

Thank you guys so much for responding. I went for a walk today. My Fitness Pal informed me it was a "slow pace". But I walked for about 30 minutes and made it 1.2 miles. Haven't done that in a long time. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to speed it up some. Just had to get out of house and away from ALL THIS FOOD!!!! Day 3 down 5.4…

What do the protein chips taste like i see them advertised all the time>

I was proscribed Nascrobal which is a B12 nasal spray that you take 1 time a week and it comes free with calcium, and iron and multi especially for bariatic patients called Bariativ vitamins look them up My insurance covers them for a $25 a month copay. The calcium is horrible and very very chalky but i like the other…

I'm so worried i'm not gonna be prepared. I have shaker bottles. A scale but it sucks its not digital and not very accurate, and small eating utensils. I want to get a fitbit, but they seem so expensive. I need to get a small blender of some kind for smoothies because i really enjoy the ones my friends make but again not…

I'm on day two of a 4 shake, broth, jello, sf Popsicle diet and and i feel like i am starving. Yesterday I had to take my 9 year old son to McDonald, if that wasn't bad enough we had his birthday party at Incredible Pizza Buffet today!!!! UGH. Tomorrow I get to go to my brothers birthday party at a fancy restaurant where i…

Cancer runs high in my family moms had 3 different forms. Three aunts have had 3 different kinds of cancer. Scary. Need to get my hiney up and moving. Did a lot today for me. But maintenance is the key.

Took a 1.5 mile walk today. Disappointed it took 38 minutes. But it's a start!!!

:( I flavor my water with essential oils. Citrus ones mostly. Really yummy. Perfectly healthy. No chemicals. But was told can't use them after the WLS I'm having next month. So don't know what I'll drink then.

How much potassium?

Done. Hour less fb/phone time daily. Filled out form

I didn't post yesterday ( Sunday). But my alternative was I went to state fair and walked around with my son for four hours. Definitely out of my sedentary comfort zone.

How do you get iPhone to count your steps?

I am having RNY surgery so required to start taking 200%RDA multivitamin, 200% Calcium Citrate, Iron, Magnesium, D, B12. And what ever else comes up deficient when labs are done. I think I'll take a potassium too because I average about 150grms a day and I think you're suppose to have some super high number like 3700.

I helped my best friend move today. From one second story apartment to another second story apartment that was a block from the parking area. I am exhausted. My knees and back hurt. But I wasn't sedentary

This will be a hard challenge for me. I'm rather sedentary. But that's about to change. I'm limiting my time on fb. To much time on phone sitting. So. I'm getting up. Going for a walk tomorrow.

Started late. Stood while read article
