I absolutely hate to exercise. It doesn't energize me. I am a couch potato by nature. That being said, I do try to force myself to swim or ride my stationary bike several times a week. I was doing some Leslie Sansone walk-at-home videos for a while, but I get bored easily, I guess! This might be an indication of my age,…

Awesome! Don't you love it when that scale moves downward?

@jcavanna2 Please share what your nutritionist tells you - just for comparison. My bariatric dr told me to eat all the lean protein I wanted, and add some veggies. No calorie limit given.

@MommaGemz : I enjoy and appreciate your posts! I can relate to so much. Hubby and I are seniors, so no kiddies in the house, but lots of challenges that come with age.

Same here. Had RNY gastric bypass surgery 8 years ago. I regained 50 of the 120 lbs I lost. Finally realized that I cannot eat foods other than lean proteins and veggies. My calorie intake needs to stay around 1000. I did not know (presurgery) just how restrictive my food choices would be. That being said, RNY surgery was…

This is great advice! "In the meantime, you need to find a way of cutting yourself some slack. Easier said than done, I know. But you said you are breastfeeding your 4 month old, and you have a 2year old as well. I imagine most days you are just doing what you need to to get brought the day. Maybe just give yourself a…
