I've decided to go back to strict basics with the gastric bypass pre-surgery diet for two weeks, to…

I finally stopped waffling around, and ordered the 14-day Inspire diet. It has shipped and should arrive in the next couple days. I plan to hit it aggressively on Monday! My sister is coming out for an early movie and lunch on Sunday, my treat, and I want to take her out, she never eats out due to $$ issues. It will be a…

Hi, I'm new to the group; I've been reading thru the posts, and this sounds like a great group to be in! I'm Moira, nickname Moy, and I live in a suburb north of Seattle. Just turned 65, retired four years ago, long-time divorced, two grown sons (one of whom still lives with me while he completes his college.) I had…

Username: MoyMG Weigh in week: Week 3 Weigh in day: Friday Previous Weight: 273.4 Todays Weight: 273.8 Still struggling with the flu, and making some poor (but expedient) food choices. Slowly improving.

Wait, what? I should be concerned about gallstones??? More details, please; what causes them, what meds can counter them? I'm five years and 160+ pounds post-RNY, and this is the first I've heard of gallstones...

Username: MoyMG Weigh in Week: 3/9 Weigh in Day: Friday Previous weight:273.2 Current Weight: 273.4 My son flies out tomorrow, and I will get back into my regular rhythm on diet and exercise; hallelujah!

As I was chasing my seniors around the huge IKEA store today, I flashed back to 12 months ago when I still had to use a cane and could only walk for twenty minutes or so, then had to sit for a rest. Now I walked non-stop for an hour at least, with no cane, and without thinking about it. Life is so much more active and fun…

Calories: lots, but so much activity I'm under, so YES Tracking: yes Exercise: oh yeah. Now, I am over 20 years younger, but those 85-year-old seniors walked my buns off through IKEA. So that would be Seniors: 1, Moy: 0 for today. But we had so much fun! Then I had to wrestle that 12-seater van through heavy rain (Seattle,…

@eevang , congrats! You look so happy and glowing; well done! And where is this, it is beautiful!

@duffslove, thanks so much for the info! I'm 5 years out, down 160, but I need to lose another 60 and have been plateauing for two months now. I plan to try the 14 day Inspire to shrink my pouch back down and break this plateau. I'll post my response. Appreciate the input on flavors!

Ditto Steven and loveshoe. Follow those Dr orders! Load up your house with the various liquids you can have. And make sure you get the required amounts of protein and liquids in! I wasn't hungry, started skipping meals, wanted to sleep all the time - my body started shutting down. Eek! So follow your orders closely, call…

MoyMG Weigh in Friday Week 4 Previous 270.0 Current 272.4 Water weight. Gotta stop with the pretzels!

As I was eating my breakfast this morning, (and I've been eating the same breakfast for several weeks,) I really looked at it, and thought "why is this so large?" And I realized I have stretched my pouch, which explains why I've stalled in weight loss for the past several weeks. Back to basics! Measure to ensure I have a…

I agree! My jaw has dropped MANY times while watching these Olympics. I've called my son out to watch several events "Come see what thy're doing, this is incredible!" I have to admit, I'm also becoming interested in curling; I had no idea so much strategy was involved. But I think a lot of these athletes are addicted to…

Feb 20th Exercise: lazy day, watching the Olympics, got some walking in, and marched during commercials when I remembered. Wow, some of those sports are amazing! Calories: pushing it. Need to do better. Tracking: every bite. Off to do an exploratory run for my scheduled Friday Snow Geese seniors' trip. I like to check out…
