Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hello all, thought I would poke my nose into a couple of topics going one. First, sorry Kathy, I have lost 152 lbs, but I am still 185. Not the other way around. Next, for a drinks, I drink lemon propel everyday. I take a packet of lemon propel and add it to the lemon drink. When I was trying to choke down gatorade, I added crystal light mix to it and it made it better. The propel does not have the electrolytes, but I add a squirt of elete drops to it to compensate. I still don't like sugar drinks, I never have. Luckily I have lost my taste for soda. I was a fiend for it. I know there has been a lot of debate about weight gain lately. Dr. R tells us that our systems become more efficient as time goes on. What we could eat earlier in our surgeries, sticks around a bit more with time. I am studying for a personal training certificate and the book reminds me that our weight gain is due to the equation of calories in/calories out. There are many factors that influence that equation though. When I started counting my calories with an online site, I was amazed that I was eating over 3k calories. I thought I wasn't eating enough, not so when I tallied it up. I cut down a bit and was able to drop a few more stubborn pounds. I still want to lose 35 more lbs. I am meeting with an endocrinologist soon hopefully help with some of my food issues. I still can't tolerate sugar or flour very well. While I am somewhat ok with it, I want to get pregnant and wonder how the hypoglycemia will effect me and baby. Plus I want to meet with a nutritionist, but I feel they won't understand how the MGB effects my metabolism. I wish more people in general understood our issues... I am still healing from my foot injury. I have an extra bone in my foot--yippee. It only brings trouble. I still can't run, but am aggressivly gardening on every sunny day. Things are good in spring time. in Or (LA) Dr. R 7/6/06 25 min 7 ft 338/185/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi -- would you share the online calorie counting site you use? Sounds intriguing, and a lot more efficient than my thumbing through my ancient calorie/carbohydrate numbers book. :-) Kathy in VA 7/6/06 297/151 -------------- Original message -------------- From: " dimndznprlz01 " <teacher4la@...> Hello all, thought I would poke my nose into a couple of topics going one.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey Kathy... I don't know which one used but I have used www.sparkspeople.com. It is an awesome website that is a community of people losing weight, diet plans, calorie counters (sodium counters and etc.). It is all free which makes it even better!
