I have not yet, but the fitness studio that I go to has several ladies who have played and really enjoyed it! I think the best part is that it allows some flexibility as to how strict, and gives you a few "freebies" (mulligans) for those days that you know you will not be able to comply, such as a nice dinner and drinks…

I had VSG instead of RNY because malabsorption is not a healthy way to maintain weight loss for most folks. I know a woman who had it, and she has had constant battles with anemia due to her iron levels and not staying strict with her vitamin supplementation. She is thinner than me, but looks sickly. I did not want that.…

Feel free to add me. Had my sleeve on 1/23/14. Starting weight was 232, day of surgery 228. current weight is 147.5. Nearly two years later, and my goal is still 130. I will get there....slow and steady wins the race!

It is not that "carbs" in and of themselves are bad. It is the processed, simple carbs/sugars that cause blood sugar spikes that you need to watch out for. Ever had a 'food coma' before, after consuming a large, simple carb meal like white pasta? That feeling seems to indicate a blood sugar spike, which is then met with an…

Sure. Just make sure it is whey protein isolate, not concentrate. Concentrate is garbage and your body won't absorb enough of it.

I'm sorry, that's very frustrating! There is so much to plan for when getting this surgery, so for her to tell you that you were being premature...well, that is a bit insulting. Do you have any other choices? Is she a member of a bariatric surgery center, so that your insurance could give you the ok to switch to another in…

Threw out my SI ligament in my lower back/hips on Monday, and can barely walk...like a crippled old lady...super frustrating as I was on a roll at 1-2 lbs a week! Trying to keep calories low to compensate, but scared this is going to derail my progress, as it has always done in the past... :-(

Me too! I was doing so well, but this week I exceeded calorie range by several hundred on many days. I made some crap choices too. This week I'm gonna get back on track. I know what I did wrong...no advanced Planning for lunches, and late dinners eating out. That's just silly, and a lifestyle from my past. Game on!!

Busy and frustrated mom here! Work all day, gone from 7am-6pm. When I get home, my evening is dedicated to making dinner for the family and getting my toddler ready for bed. When my husband and I do take the time to work out, I feel guilty that we are leaving the baby with my 13-year old when we haven't seen her all day.…
